Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 53

In the private room , Sienna sat across from the man .

The man was staring at her intently , as if he feared she might vanish if he so much as blinked .

“ Sienna ,” the ma began softly , “ this is the third time we’ve met .

That day at Bacchus Bridge , during your Fiona’s memorial … You were there , weren’t you ! You were wearing a mask .

”

“ I’m not here to talk about the past , Sienna interrupted , her voice cold .

“ We’ve already met Now , where’s the money ! Did you bring it ? ” she asked , getting straight to the point

He nodded, “ I brought it .

You’ll get it soon .

But Sienna .

Four years ago , you left without a word .

How have you been ? How are things with Mr.

Flynn ? ”

Her tone remained calm , but there was a hint of irritation in her eyes,

“ Do you really think these questions are yours to ok ? ” she said icily .

The man looked conflicted , his expression a mix of guilt and hesitation .

“ Why can’t I ask ? Sienna , I care about you .

Flynn – did he treat you badly ? Is that why you suddenly need so much money ? ”

“ Care ! Sienna couldn’t hold back and laughed mockingly .

Her eyes were full of sarcasm .

“ Caring now , isn’t it a bit late ? ”

She thought .

‘ Where was he when I needed him the most ? Where was his concern then: The cheapest thing in the world is affection that’s past its due date !

The man hesitated , his face showing both conflict and pain .

“ Yes , it’s my fault .

But Sienna , can you at least tell me what happened that you suddenly need so much money ‘ Is Mr.

Flynn treating you badly ? ”
