Josiah was taken aback, his face draining of color. Did she just tell him to leave? He realized she must have overheard what Yvette said to him.

carlier.

“Sienna,” Josial said, rubbing his forehead and looking at her nervously. “You’ve got it all wrong. I don’t know why Yvette would say that…”

Sienna let out a cold, soft bugh. “You don’t know! You’ve used me once already because of her. What? Feeling good about tricking me and wanting to do it again“”

“Sienna Josiah tried to explain.

“Listen up; it’s not happening” Sienna said, cuiting him off with a sneer. “It’s been four years. Do you think I’m still that easy to fool? You can’t trick me anymore.”

At his words, Sienna’s back stiffened. After a moment of silence, she slowly turned to face him. She spoke, each word deliberate, “Yes, I dislike you, and I hate you

Taking a deep breath, she continued, “I wouldn’t have said this if you hadn’t asked. You’re a powerful Flynn, and with just one word, you could have sent me packing from River City, I spent four years abroad, away from everything I knew”

Seeing Josiah’s face pale, she added with a hint of mockery, “Surprised? Did you really think I’d be grateful to someone who drove me away and then ignored me for years?”

“1…” Josiah stammered, unable to meet her gaze. That’s because…”
