Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 12

0 Chapter 12 Whats going on ? Out of battery ? Josials frowned , irritation creeping into his voice as he pushed his phone aside .

Forget it Im done .

He figured that as an adult , Sienna could find her way back if she couldnt wait for him .

It had been a long night , and he was beaten .

A shower and some rest were calling his name .

Just as he was about to set his phone down for good , he hesitated and muttered , Ugh , what a hassle ! After a moments thought , he dialed the landline for Silver Beach But no one picked up , and the call ended itself .

What the hell ? Josiahs face clouded over .

Could Sienna really not have gone home ? Its so late … Is she still out there waiting for me ? What a fool ! He tossed the phone aside , not caring about it anymore , and headed upstairs to the bathroom .

But as the hot water streamed down on him , Sienna kept intruding on his thoughts .

Its late , and shes just a girl .

Even though I dont like her much , an the one who broke my promise , he thought .

What a hassle ! Josiah muttered , turning off the water .

He quickly dried off , got dressed , grabbed his car keys , and rushed downstairs .

As he got into the car , he called the nursing home .

The nurse who answered was responsible for Mirandas area .

This is Josiah .

Can you check if theres a girl named Sienna still here ? Josiah asked .

Sure , Mr.

Flynn , the nurse replied , not hanging up as she went to check .

A moment later , she returned .

Im sorry , but theres no Sienna here .

Just the medical staff and support personnel .

Not there ? She has already left ? Josiah thought , frustration seeping into his voice as he replied , Alright , thanks .

After ending the call , he got in his car and drove straight to Silver Beach .

But the place was as dark as pitch , with no sign of her anywhere .

Is she asleep ? He headed towards the servants quarters at the back .

As he tried to figure out which room she might be in , he stopped short a light was on in the first floor bathroom .

Could it be Sienna ? he wondered and walked over .

The bathroom door was slightly ajar , giving him a clear view inside .

Sienna was sitting on a stool , taking off her socks and examining her feet .
