Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 6 As soon as Josiah stepped inside , he caught a whiff of something cooking .

He scrunched up his nose and asked , Whats that smell ? The lights were on in the living room and the kitchen , and Josiah thought to himself , Is someone home ? No way .

Could it be a break in ? Nah , who breaks into a place just to cook ? After all , the security at Silver Beach was top notch .

Even a mouse from the neighbors place would think twice before trying to sneak in .

Who is it ? Show yourself , Josiah called out , his handsome face darkening .

Coming ! Sienna replied as she jogged into the living room .

She stopped in front of him , hands clasped together , and spoke softly , Youre back .

Josiah was taken aback .

Sienna was tall and graceful , though a bit too thin .

She was undeniably beautiful , with large , luminous eyes that commanded attention .

He didnt recognize her , but she felt strangely familiar .

Even so , Josiah remained unamused .

He disliked anyone invading his space , no matter the reason .

Who are you ? How did you get in here ? he demanded .

Sienna paused for a second and let out a small laugh he really didnt remember her .

She pressed her lips together and replied softly , Tm Sienna .

Josiah nodded instinctively but suddenly froze .

What did she just say ? Sienna ? Oh , right .

Grandma mentioned bringing Sienna home .

Earlier that day .

Miranda had called him about it .

He had agreed then , but once he got busy , it slipped his mind .

Josiah squinted as he studied Sienna .

Her youthful innocence seemed gone , and upon closer inspection , hints of her younger self remained , but now she exuded a touch of feminine charm she was more beautiful than before .

But so what ? No matter how stunning she looks , it cant mask a rotten character .

Her return is perfect ; some issues that have been on hold for almost four years are finally coming to a head , he scoffed quietly .

Wait for me here for a minute .

Ill be right back , Josiah said , shooting her a cold glance before heading upstairs .

Okay , Sienna replied , watching him go .

She decided to stay put After a short while , Josiah returned downstairs .

He settled onto the couch and casually gestured to the seat opposite him .

Take a seat .

Sure , Sienna replied , and she sat down facing him .

Josiah opened a folder and placed it on the table in front of Siena .

Take a look .

If everythings good , just sign it .

whats this ? Sienna glanced over and clearly sa the words written in black and white Divorce Agreement .

This should have been dealt with four years ago , Josiah said flatly .

But Grandma disagreed , so I went along with her .

Now … Sienna looked up at him .

Miranda agreed ? Josiah paused , his eyes narrowing slightly .

No , he admitted .

Miranda was so stubborn .

Even after four years , she still wouldnt let go .

She brought Sienna back , hoping they could fix things .

How could that be possible ? He had already made up his mind 1/3 Chapter 6 I dont like you , and you know that .

This marriage was a mistake from the start .

Its been almost four years , and its time to end it , Josiah said , Josiah said , his voice firm and deep .

Sienna listened quietly , not saying a word .

Assuming she disagreed , Josiah frowned .

If you dont agree , then Ill love to file for divorce .

Weve been separated for over two years , so it will definitely be granted .

No need to make it complicated , Sienna gently interrupted before he could finish .

I agree to the divorce .

Youve agreed ? Josiah was momentarily taken aback .

Sienna nodded , Yes , Ive agreed .

This genuinely surprised Josiah .

He had thought , given Siennas obsession with him , it would take a lot more effort .

But for him , this turn of events was definitely a good thing .

After the initial shock wore off , Josiah composed himself and raged an eyebrow .

In that case , lets go ahead and sign it .

Okay , Sienna replied .

Josiah handed a pen to Sienna .

She carefully looked over the agreement and shook her head .

I dont want the house or the .

money .

Miranda raised me , and Ive always owed your family .

Josiah found it amusing .

Since you stepped into the Flynn residence at fifteen , youve been supported by us , up until now .

That even includes all the expenses for your overseas studies and living , he added in his heart before continuing .

You dont have the ability to support yourself , so how are you going to live in the future ? A chill crept up inside Sienna .

She silently clenched her hands tight and didnt argue .

Could it be … Josiah narrowed his eyes and guessed , Youre thinking if things get tough , you might come back and try to bother me again? I didnt .

Siennas gaze dimmed as she decisively denied it .

If so , sign the papers quickly , Josiah said with a dismissive smile Alright , Sienna smiled slightly .

She held the pen tightly and signed her name on both copies .

Finally , Josiah felt relieved .

Tll arrange a time at the courthouse and inform you .

Okay , Sienna nodded .

Josiah took the agreement and , for once , looked directly at Sienna .

Grandma is about to have surgery .

Until shes recovered , we need to keep the divorce a secret .

She did raise you , so can you help with this ? Sienna was surprised .

He didnt even want her , yet now he expected her to play along ? Dont worry , you wont be left empty handed .

Once everything is settled , Ill throw in an extra payment as a bonus , Josiah sneered .

Sienna let out a quiet , cold laugh and nodded .

Alright , I get it.

Okay then , Josiah said as he stood up .

We might need to see each other again during this time .

Ill take the master bedroom .

As for you ….

He paused , then added , Just pick a room downstairs and clean it up yourself .

With that , he turned and headed upstairs .

Chapter 6 Sienna watched him leave , faint smirk playing on her lips .

Pick a room downstairs ? All the downstairs rooms are for the staff ? To him .

Im nothing more than a servant ? Sienna blinked , yet her eyes had already gone dry no tears left to shed .

After taking a few deep breaths , she turned and walked back to the dining room .

The pasta had sat too long , turning soggy and clumped together ! Sienna sat down , shoved a big mouthful into her mouth .

and felt like choking .

But she was starving , and she had nothing else to eat .

Suddenly , Josiah burst in .

Sienna ! Taken by surprise , Sienna choked and couldnt stop coughing .

Tsk .

Josiah frowned , shaking his head as he glanced at the bowl in front of her .

What did you cook ? Is this even edible ? Pasta , Sienna replied , finally feeling a bit better .

Do you need something ? This mess is supposed to be pasta ? Josiah sneered .

You cant even boil pasta ? Looks like we really spoiled you over the years .

Siennas lips parted slightly , hiding a smirk .

Oh , right , Josiah remembered why he was there and pointed at her bowl , his voice cold .

Dont cook here again .

The kitchen is a smoky , greasy mess because of you .

Just eat at a restaurant .
