Sienna slipped into the guest room and quietly closed the door behind her.
That low, seductive laugh still echoed in her ears, lingering and teasing, refusing to let go.
She squeezed her eyes shut.
“This guy… Sienna thought, a little exasperated. ‘He’s just way too flirtatious!

‘He really knows how to work that pretty face of his, showing off for her every chance he gets, she thought, her heart skipping a beat.
Seriously, she was starting to wonder if she was even thinking straight anymore.
Just then, her phone buzzed.
She pulled it out and saw it was Titan calling.
“Boss, things are heating up with the Retorchi and Kagutsuchi factions,” Titan reported. “Black Python’s been shuffling his men around a lot lately and getting in touch with a few arms dealers. Doesn’t look like he’s planning to sit back any longer.”
Sienna’s eyes regained their icy clarity.
She walked to the floor–to–ceiling window, staring out into the silent, lush forest surrounding the villa.
“It seems he’s more desperate than we thought,” Sienna remarked, her crimson lips curling into an icy, unyielding smile.
This time, she’d wiped out Baletin’s spy network, tearing it apart at the roots, which had hit Baletin really hard.
“Stick to the plan, monitor every channel, and let them walk straight into our net. I want every detail locked down. Don’t let a single thing slip.” Sienna said coolly.
“Understood, Boss. You can count on me. Nothing’s getting through.” Titan assured her.
She guessed she’d just gotten herself all flustered from Mason’s pretty–boy tactics earlier.
But then, thanks to Titan’s call, that strange thrill inside her had completely faded.
Right after, her phone buzzed again.
It was the Yara Bloom app, and her screen immediately blew
Sienna tapped it open.
up with messages, one after another.
An extra creepy avatar was flashing all over the interface–it wouldn’t sit still.
The icon was a bold, black “Urgent,” with blood pouring down the screen and bloody handprints smeared everywhere. It had
total horror–movie vibes.
She opened up the chat window.
Design or Die: [Ah, Boss! Help! We’re in serious trouble. If you don’t come and save us, Yara Bloom is totally doomed.),
Design or Die: [Boss, are you seeing this? Hello? Yara Bloom’s literally about to crash and burn! We’re going bankrupt.]

Design or Die: [Boss, I hope you’ll drop a brand new design for us.J
The user behind the ID “Design or Die” was Mavis, Yara Bloom’s current official representative.
She was also Sienna’s chief assistant at Yara Bloom.

Just like her horror–themed avatar, she was the dreaded design deadline beast–the kind who’d haunt people for drafts day and night.
Sienna swiped the screen and fired off a single word, [What?]
Mavis instantly pinged back.
Design or Die: [Oh, Boss, you’re actually here. Seriously, you’re alive! Guess what? Yara Bloom just scored a god–level whale -like, super rich!]
Design or Die: [Every piece in our inventory–literally every single one! Spring, summer, fall, winter, all the haute couture- completely sold out! Not a single item left!]
Design or Die: [Do you even realize what “sold out” really means?]
Design or Die: [Our warehouse is so empty now. Boss, you catch my drift, right?]
Sienna was left speechless.
‘Completely sold out?‘ she wondered to herself.
‘Who in the world is this moneybag? That’s just savage. Sienna couldn’t help but think.
Sure, Yara Bloom was all about high–end exclusivity, but their inventory was far from skimpy.
‘Someone actually wiped out the whole stock in one shot?‘ Sienna thought, still wrapping her head around it.
‘That’s gotta be tens of millions at least, probably way more,‘ she calculated mentally.
Sienna: [Who’s the big spender who dropped all that cash?]
Design or Die: [Some anonymous buyer–and the payment already landed!]
‘Guess we’ve really run into someone who spends money like it’s nothing. Sienna thought to herself, a bit incredulous
Sienna thought for a second before typing back. [I’ll shoot over some new designs for you later–start refilling our shelves)
Design or Die: [The designs? Eh, we can just leave that for now.]
Sienna: [Oh?]
‘Did the design deadline beast just go soft on me?‘ Sienna thought, seriously doubting her own eyes.
Normally, whenever Sienna mentioned sending over some designs, Mavis would turn into a ruthless draft–hawk, practically breathing down her neck for them.
But she was actually saying, “let’s put that aside for now“? Sienna blinked, totally taken aback.
‘Is she out of her mind or something?‘ Sienna wondered, genuinely confused.

Design or Die: [Uh, that super–rich client just dropped a nine–figure offer, wants you to design a custom evening gown personally. And get this. Their deadline is wild. They’re demanding a finished product in five days flat.)
‘Nine figures?‘ Sienna blinked, genuinely taken aback.
‘Okay, that’s just insane. Who’s out here throwing this kind of cash around for a single dress? she thought, half impressed. half speechless.
For someone this loaded, money was probably just a bunch of numbers on a screen.
Still, Sienna couldn’t help but mentally label them. ‘So much cash, so little sense.
She paused, thinking it over.
She was currently staking out the Kagutsuchi and Retorchi factions, waiting for them to walk right into her trap. Patience was the name of the game.
Honestly, she had some downtime.
Whenever she set foot back in the Cooper family, they would hand her a sleek black card, no questions asked, no ceremony, just like it was the most normal thing in the world.
She figured it was only fair to give something back in return.
Plus, she wanted to improve everyone’s health at home, but those medicines didn’t come cheap.
Honestly, she could use some extra cash.
Sienna messaged back. [Tell him I’ll do it for 300 million dollars. Deal.]
Mavis sucked in a sharp breath, then burst out with joy. [300 million dollars? Boss, it could only be you!]
[Boss, hold tight. I’m going to seal the deal, and you better not change your mind.]
‘Boss finally decided to take a paying gig for once!‘ Mavis thought, practically bouncing with excitement.
‘Didn’t think I’d live to see the day!‘ Mavis was practically bouncing off the walls with excitement.
Terrified Sienna might take it back, Mavis bolted offline faster than one could blink.
But barely a few minutes passed before Mavis popped back online.
Mavis: [Boss, they locked in the 300–million deal. They didn’t even flinch! But heads up. They sent over a bunch of design ideas and want you to stick to their vision this time.]
Sienna arched an eyebrow. [Send it over.]
Soon, a document popped up on her screen.
Sienna tapped it open and skimmed through it.
As she scrolled through the document, that amused sparkle in her eyes slowly gave way to a look of genuine concentration.
Honestly, this design brief was almost overly meticulous.
But it wasn’t just some amateur tossing out wild ideas. Every single part had substance, and whoever wrote it clearly knew

their stuff.
‘Whoever put this together, their taste is pretty damn impressive, Sienna thought, a little surprised.

Style, colors, fabric preferences, tailoring–even all those tiny details, and not a single thing was out of place. They knew exactly what they wanted.
Every choice just landed in the sweet spot of gorgeousness.
The moment Sienna read the brief, her mind exploded with fresh design concepts.
She could all but visualize the final masterpiece.
When the sketch was complete, this dress was destined to stun everyone and become the talk of the town
When this dress was finished, Sienna figured it would blow up the entire design scene.
Seriously, the whole industry was about to be rocked. Everyone would be talking about it.
No way Sienna was going to regret taking this gig.
For the first time, she felt that intense rush, the itch to create a truly jaw–dropping masterpiece, come roaring back stronger
than ever.
Sienna locked herself away in her room, completely immersed in her designs.
Her pen glided over the paper, sketching out lines that were effortlessly stunning.
Outside her window, daylight turned to dusk, the sky shifting from bright blue to amber until, bit by bit, the world was swallowed by night.
Mason was absolutely over the moon at finally getting to live under the same roof as Sienna.
He’d already daydreamed up a thousand ridiculous plans to use his looks and charm to wreak all kinds of havoc during their ‘cohabitation.”
Of course, plotting was one thing, and actually pulling it off was another.
He’d gone over every possible look and move in his head for when he was face–to–face with Sienna, imagining exactly how he’d act.
He kept waiting, and waiting, but Sienna’s door never once opened.
By the time dinner rolled around and Anne had set out a whole feast, Sienna’s door was still firmly shut.
