The years away from Jensen had been hard on Giselle.

She couldn't land any roles, lost all her endorsements, and nearly fell victim to the casting couch. She learned the hard way how cruel the world could be and decided she wanted to be that coddled little girl again.

The moment she and Jensen reconciled, she came after my resources.

My agent, Anna, was furious, cursing him out all night. "You're his girlfriend! Technically, she's the other woman here! What gives her the right to be so damn arrogant?"

I knew Jensen didn't love me.

But that was fine.

His love was never what I was after.

At an industry dinner, a few braver souls, convinced I was about to be dumped, cornered me and started pushing drinks on me.

Jensen heard what was happening and stormed in.

He beat them so badly their own mothers wouldn't have recognized them.

I looked at him, and for a moment, the world blurred. Tears streamed down my face before I could stop them.

Jensen, thinking I was scared, pulled me into his arms, his voice a soft murmur.

"It's okay, Sienna. Don't be afraid. No matter what happens, I'll never let anyone hurt you."

My past was a rough one. I’d grown up fighting to protect myself. A few greasy industry types weren't enough to make me cry.

It was the way he stood up for me, so fierce and protective. It was just like the man in my dreams.
