Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 104

Sienna was being so serious. Cedric couldn’t help but quietly checkle to himself. She had seen right through him, and it was clear she wasn’t going to give him any chance at all.

“Don’t take it so seriously,” he said quickly, trying to brush it off. I told you that it was all fake. Not real”

Sienna didn’t argue, just shook her head. “I don’t want to get you involved. I’ll handle things with Josiah myself”

She waved him off. “It’s getting late. You should go. I’m going back.”

With that, she turned and jogged down the alley.

“Hey…” Cedric sighed heavily, mumbling to himself. “How did you know that to me, you’re the best girl in the world?”

Half an hour later, after a quick shower, Sienna’s phone was buzzing non–stop on the table.

She hurried over, picked it up, and saw it was Cedric calling.

“Hey?” She answered, confused. “What’s up?”

“Sienna” Cedric’s voice was urgent on the other end. Tm at the apartment entrance. I don’t know which building you’re in Get down here, quick.”

“What’s going on?” she asked, still confused.

“Don’t ask so many questions, just hurry.” And he hung up.

Sienna stood there holding the phone, frowning. Isn’t he supposed to have left already? Why is he asking me to meet him at the apartment entrance? she wondered. “What’s so important that he can’t talk about it on the phone?”

She quickly grabbed the towel off her head, wiped it a few times, took her phone and keys, locked the door, and rushed downstairs.

Once she was outside, she looked around, but couldn’t see Cedric “Where are you?” she muttered.

“Hey, Sienna, someone greeted..

At the sound of her name, Sienna’s shoulders tensed. She looked up and saw Josiah. She didn’t expect that he had actually followed her here.

Without wasting a second, she turned and ran.
