Fake Heiress Real Trouble (Sienna) novel Chapter 147

Chapter 147

Sienna wasn’t surprised that Mason had already put two and two together.

After all, Mason was unfairly handsome, and his mind was even deadlier–a total knockout combo.

He just had to fire up that genius brain of his for a second, and he’d instantly know why she was moving out.

“By the way, I’ve got a villa out in the western suburbs,” Mason said, his voice deep and smooth, like a feather teasing her ear.

Sienna flicked a glance at the screen, catching that troublemaking, almost too–perfect face. “So?”

“So, you can move in with me,” Mason teased, lips turning up with that baiting grin of his. “It’s a standalone place, fucked way out where no one will bother us. The security is top–notch, at the Ministry of National Defense level, and you can monitor every angle from your phone. Cast your net wide, and catch them all in one go. What do you say?”

Sienna arched a brow.

She told herself, ‘Ministry of National Defense–level security? A private villa?‘

‘These features, well, totally hit the sweet spot, she thought. ‘It’s hard not to be hooked by an offer like this.

With two factions from Baletin making their moves at the same time, chaos was inevitable. What she urgently needed was a place remote enough to stay invisible, yet built like a command center where she could control the whole situation.

Thanks to Mason’s setup, she didn’t even need to waste any energy reconfiguring security herself.

“Sounds pretty good,” Sienna said, nodding.

“Of course,” Mason said, his lips curling into that dangerously charming smile, the kind that hinted at mischief. His voice lingered with subtle amusement. “But here’s the real catch: I’ll be living there, too, lending you a hand whenever you need

it.”

Sienna stared in disbelief, at a loss for words.

She thought, ‘Live together with Mason?

‘Just the two of us, out there alone in some secluded villa on the edge of nowhere?’

She narrowed her eyes.

As if he could totally read her reaction, Mason lazily upped the ante, his tone playfully casual. “Seriously, I’m only doing this for you. I’m making a little personal sacrifice so I can help out whenever you need me.

“And if your parents and grandpa ever want to video call and see you, having me there with you will make it look way more convincing, right? That way, they won’t have to worry about you living alone out there, always on edge and imagining the worst, right?”

Mason’s words hit her right where it hurt.

There was no way she was dragging any trouble to the research institute.

If her family ever tried to video call, she might be able to fudge things a time or two.

But if she did it too often, they’d finally smell something fishy.

‘Mason, this crafty fox, always has a flawless excuse for everything, Sienna thought with a snort.

She weighed the pros and cons for a few seconds, and the answer was clear.

Sure, living with just a guy was definitely a bit strange. But honestly, she couldn’t care less.

If Mason ever got any funny ideas, he’d better think twice about the consequences, Sienna mused, “Taking him down would be a breeze.‘

“Address. Password,” Sienna said, finally relenting. She didn’t even bother waiting for Mason’s reply.

Mason shot her a victorious smirk. “I’ll send them over right now. You can head over any time. The place is always kept clean, and you can move in straight away.”

Sienna just gave a curt “okay” and disconnected the video call.

Mason’s face vanished from the screen.

Sienna could finally breathe, feeling the stuffy air in the car seemed to lighten up.

It didn’t take long before Mason sent over a location pin and a code.

She tapped the navigation, turned the wheel, and drove off toward the western suburbs.

Mason watched as the call ended, clicking his tongue lightly before letting out a quiet laugh.

He’d just sent Sienna the location and passcode when his phone started going haywire with notifications.

Message alerts kept flashing nonstop across his screen.

With a lazy swipe of his long fingers, he opened up the chat.

It was Theo, absolutely blasting his inbox with message after message.

Messages blew up his screen, one after another.

[Mason, seriously, watch out for Sienna, okay? Make sure nothing happens to her.]

[But you better watch yourself, and don’t you dare pull any damn moves on her!]

[I know what’s running through your head. Look after her if you want, but keep those dirty thoughts in check, got it?]

[Yeah, maybe the families had that childhood engagement, but you told Grandpa you didn’t want any part of it. So stop dragging that up to mess with Sienna.]

[This whole engagement stuff means nothing unless Sienna gives her nod, so don’t even think about using it as an excuse.

[You can look out for her, and that’s fine. But if you even try anything dirty, I dare you, Mason!!

To top it off, he sent over a meme, clenched fist, and a murderous glare, just to make his point crystal clear.

Mason could flat–out feel Theo’s protective big brother energy pouring in. “Theo is pure cold CEO vibes most days, but now he’s pulling this ‘hands–off–my–sister‘ act. And yeah, I caught every ounce of suspicion aimed straight at me!

Mason chuckled, lips curling into a lazy smirk as he eyed Theo’s endless rant.

He lifted those slender, elegant fingers and hit the voice message button, letting his words roll out in a slow, laid–back drawi the warmth of a teasing smile coloring every syllable.

“Chill, bro. I promise Sienna will be safe and sound with me,” Mason said, voice smooth as silk.

“As for the rest, I know how things are. Sienna’s wishes come first, always. Wouldn’t dare step out of line?

Mason sent another voice message. “And honestly, even if you don’t trust me, you gotta trust Sienna. She can handle herself. Don’t you think so?”

His tone was almost ridiculously earnest.

But that long, drawn–out “bro,” backed by that lazy drawl, gave Theo this nagging feeling that something wasn’t quite right.

Theo listened to Mason’s voice messages with a deep frown, never relaxing for a second.

That stretched–out “bro” Mason dropped just had this calculating edge, like he was the kind of guy who always played five moves ahead.

He couldn’t shake the feeling that he was basically sending his innocent sister right into a wolf’s den.

‘Maybe I’ve made a huge mistake here. Theo thought, anxiety gnawing at him.

But when it came down to it, in the whole institute, Mason was the only one he really knew, someone he could count on

It was better just to let Sienna call the shots.

Theo thought, ‘The project over at the institute is super rushed anyway. He probably doesn’t have enough time for any crazy drama, right?
