“Stemma!” Josiah called out softly.
He saw how close Sienna was to tears, and a rush of emotion surged through him. So, she does care about me. Deep down, this is all my fault. I
hurt her.
No girl could remain indifferent if her boyfriend defended another woman, and Sienna was no exception.
Her anger and the breakup only proved how much he meant to her.
Now, it was all so clear. But back then, his head felt like it was stuffed with glue, clouding his judgment.
Josiah suddenly stood up, crossed the room in one stride, and dropped to one knee before her. He clasped her hands in his, gently wrapping them in his warm palms
“Alright,” Josiah said, his voice sincere. “I’ll agree with whatever
you want.”
Then, he confessed with a tone full of self–reproach. “It was my fault. I handled everything so poorly. You had every right to be angry.
“These past few days, you’ve been ignoring me. Have you cooled off yet? If not, tell me what I can do to make it up to you. Whatever it takes.

Sienna let out a cold laugh. To anyone else, he might sound like a lovesick man desperate to win her back,
She had no time for his games.
Looking straight at her, Sienna spoke firmly “Josiah, you’re the one who insists on getting back together. Let me make this clear. I have a bud Temper. You’ve always known that
“This is who I am. If I turn your life upside down in the future, don’t come blaming me.
“What’s this” Josiah teased, his smile carefree and boyish. “Are you worried about me again?”
I’ll do
His hands tightened ever so slightly around hers, his touch steady and reassuring. “Don’t worry. As long as you don’t break up with me, I can handle anything you throw at me.
Senna bit her lip, unable to hold back her thoughts any longer. Tm not joking, Josiah. Do you enjoy being treated badly? Wouldn’t it be easier to date someone sweet and obedient
That sounds boring. Don’t you think? Jusiah raised an eyebrow, his striking eyes sparkling with humor. “I’m looking for a girlfriend, not an employee, Why would I want her to follow orders all the time
For once, Sienna found herself at a loss for words.
Fine, Mr. Flynn, she thought, a hint of exasperation creeping in. “You better remember what you just said. Don’t come crying to me later. She put on this whole act, pouring her heart and soul into it. She hoped he could not let her down when the time came.

At the police station, Kosir woke up early
The past few days had been a whirlwind of chaos. Being in and out of the detention center was an ordeal for a young woman like her.
She hadn’t been able to eat o or sleep properly, and it showed she looked pale and gauit.
“Hey, kone” A voice called our suddenly, starting her.
Konur looked up, her bloodshot eyes meeting the officer’s. “Yes, officer.” She quickly stood up,
The iron–lurred floor creaked open “You can come out now!

At the door, another female officer waited for Rosie.
“Go with her. She’ll help you with the paperwork. Once it’s done, you’ll be free to go the officer explained.
“What? I can leave? Rosie thought, disbelief washing over her
The female officer offered a kind smile. “Please follow me.”
“Alright. Thank you, officer, Rosie said, still processing the news.

Following the officer, Rosie completed the paperwork, signed the nece
“All done. You’re free to go, the officer informed her.
“Thank you, officer Rosie bowed slightly in gratitude before stepping out of the detention center. The sun was shining brightly, and she closed her ryes, taking a deep breath of the fresh air.
Pulling out her phone, Rosse dialed Sienna’s number.
Sienna was sitting in Josiah’s Bentley Arnage when she saw Rosie’s name flash on her screen. She glanced at the man beside her, surprised at how quickly he had acted.
They had just reached an agreement, and Rosie was already free.
“Hello, Rosier Sienna called out
“Hi. Sienna Rosie, overcome with emotion, couldn’t hold back her tears. “I’m out. Thank you so much.”
It had to be Sienna who saved her. Ever since the incident, Rosie hadn’t even been able to get in touch with Daniel.
Daniel was completely unreliable. Even if she had died, the police would’ve had a hard time getting him to identify her body.
“Don’t mention it, Sienna said, finally able to relax. “This is all my fault. You suffered because of me. Go home and rest. Get a good night’s sleep.
She glanced at Josiah T’ve got something to take care of. Let’s talk when you’re feeling better, okay?”
“Sure. Bye.” Rosie said before ending the call Turning the corner, the walked toward the bus stop with a spring in her step.
Under a tree outside the police station, Howard eat in his car, watching her retreating figure through the window.
He didn’t look away until she disappeared into the crowd.
“Howard” Hervey spoke softly, “Shall we gor
“Okay” Howard said with a slight ned, pulling his
gaze back.
“Howard,” Hervey hesitated before speaking again. “Rosie went through a lot this time, and her husband didn’t show up even once. Do you think we
should.”
“No pred Howard cut him off before he could finishe
Howards lundsome, refined face remained impassive as he spoke in a calm tone. “She’s line now. As for her life, that’s her own business. It has nothing to do with me. Do you understand?”
Hervey stiffened, a clull running down his spine. “Yes, Howard, I understand”

Unlike the lady–like styles Yvette preferred, this one was more casual, with thoughtful details that added a touch of sophistication.
You look beautiful” Josiah said with a smile, taking her hand. “You wear it well. Do you like it?”
Ves Sienna hesitated.
She nodded reluctantly.
She had planned to deny it and take him down a peg, but she couldn’t fault the outfit.
“Really? That’s great. With a triumphant grin, Josiah wrapped an arm around her waist, pulling her against his chest. There was a mix of pride and a desire to please in his expression.
“See! I know your taste. You wronged me,” he said.
To be fair, Josiah was partly to blame for the earlier misunderstanding
He had instructed the FOUR HOURS staff to deliver women’s clothing to Silver Beach but hadn’t specified the style. The staff, assuming it was for the Flynn family, had sent outfits in their usual style.
So, the store bore some responsibility too
He was standing too close, and Sienna, worried he might press against her stomach, tried to push him away. “People are watching.”
Jouah chuckled, holding her tighter. “Who’s watching?”
The staff, sensing the intimate moment, had tactfully walked away long ago.
“Sienna. Josiah turned her slightly in his arms, pointing to their reflection in the mirror.
“Look at us. Don’t we make a great couple? With your looks, not just anyone can match you.” he said.
Sienna rolled her eyes internally. Are you complimenting me or yourself? You’re so full of yourself:

What is it Sienna thought, dumbfounded. Why is he stammering?
Tightening his arm around her waist, Josiah mustered his courage. “I think I like you?
