died.
But now, someone had taken a plane from Lockage and rushed straight to her after seeing the news. Sienna wasn’t sure if others had received such support, but she had never met anyone like that before.
After ending the call, Sienna hurried downstairs. She stood at the hotel entrance and soon spotted Cedric getting out of a taxi.
“Sienna Cedric called out approaching her.
“Cedric“” Sienna’s face lit up as she responded
Cedric approached, dragging his suitcase
Sienna noticed the dark circles under his ey
eyes. “You didn’t sleep at all last night, did you?” she asked, her voice full of concern.
“No,” Cedric replied, shaking his head. “I couldn’t. I couldn’t get a hold of you, and my mind was racing.. but that’s not what matters
Cedric looked at Sienna, taking a deep breath. “Sienna, can I hug you? Just for a second?”
He didn’t wait for her reply, quickly wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug
Sienna froze, not expecting the sudden embrace. Her body tensed up as she was pulled into his arme
“Sienna,” Cedric whispered, his eyes shut tight, savoring the moment. “It’s so good to see you safe. It’s really something.”
Slowly, Stenna relaxed in his arms. She looked up and smiled gently. “Mm, I’m fine now”
A few paces away. Josiah sat in a car, watching through
the window.
Cedric had actually come here? Wasn’t he supposed to be in Lockage! How did he get here so fast! He must really care about Sienna. How touching he sneered inwardly.
Josiah’s eyes narrowed slightly, his face a cold mask. Just my luck, huh? Every time those two get close, I’m there to witness it, he thought,
It dawned on Josiah that Cedric was Sienna’s boyfriend, and he was merely her ex–ancient history. He realized he had rushed over on a whim Deep down, he knew he couldn’t come between them.
“Sir,” the driver said, noticing Josiah hadn’t gotten our even though they’d arrived. “We’re here”
Josiah snapped out of it and looked at the driver. Im not getting
not getting out. Let’s head back the way we came,” he said, his voice calm.
The driver looked surprised but didn’t ask questions. “Sure thing, he replied.
As the car pulled away, Josiah caught a glimpse in the rearview mirror of Sienna and Cedric entering the hotel together.
Suddenly, he straightened up, his eyes narrowing. Who’s to say I can’t get in the way? 1 nearly lost my life for her yesterday. That close call should give me the right to at least give it a shot, right?‘ he thought to himself.
At the hotel. Sienna helped Cedric check in and then went with him to his room. She pointed at the dark circles under his eyes. “Go take a shower and get some serious rest,” she told him.
Cedric nodded, thinking it over, but didn’t head inside right away. Instead, he reached for Sienna’s hand.
“Sienna, we talked about making our relationship official when you return, Can we maybe do that sooner?” he asked, getting straight to the point
about then.
Sienna got what he was saying. She paused for a moment, thinking it through, then responded, “How about we talk about it after you get some rest!”
She hadn’t told him about Joyer yet. If they were going to take things to the next level, she needed to make sure he knew the full story.
“sounds good to me. Cedric said, not pushing any further. He could sell Sienna was becoming more open to him. Just a little while ago, she’d let him hug her.
He gently brushed her hair back and said, “Tim really looking forward to whatever you’ve got to say”
Meanwhile, in the taxi, Josiah leaned in towards the driver and said firmly, “Let’s turn around and head back to the hotel we were at earlier

Sienna went back to her room, which was on a different floor, two levels down from Cedric’s.
The elevator doors slid open as Sienna’s phone buzzed with a call from an unknown number from her hometown.
She hesitated for a moment, then answered. “Hello?
“Sienna,” the voice said, ringing a bell but Sienna couldn’t quite put her finger on it. “It’s Xenia”
Sienna’s heart skipped a beat at the name. She knew it couldn’t be good–Cedric had just shown up and now his mom was calling
“Mrs. Brawne.” Sienna said, her voice catching. “What’s the matter?”
“Got to talk in person. Can’t do it over the phone” Xenia answered.
A chill hit Sienna. “Mrs. Brawne, where are you at?”
“I’m at your hotel,” Xenia said straight out. “Meet me at the café. I’ll be there. Then she hung up.
Sienna held her phone tight, her forehead wrinkled. She knew this day would come. She knew this day would come. Deciding they had to face it she made up her mind to go over
Sienna entered the quiet cafe and save Xenia lounging by the window with sunglasses on, sipping coffee. She quickly walked over and greeted, “Mrs Braune
Xenia glanced up, sized Sienna up for a second, then ditched the sunglasses and pointed to the chair opposite her. “Take a seat,” she Zuid.
‚“Thanks,” Sienna said, pulling up a chair.
“Need a drink?” Xenia asked, all smiles.
“Nah, I’m good.” Sienna said, shaking her head
“My treat,” Xenia said with a little grin. “Don’t be so stiff. We’re just here to chat, not duke it out Let me order for you.”
Before Sienna could get a word in, Xenia snagged the waiter’s attention. “Hey, can I get a hot out late over here?”
“Coming right up, the waiter said.
“Appreciate it. Mrs. Brawne, Sienna said.
“No prob,” Xenia said, still smiling but sounding a bit sheepish. “Our last get–together was a bit rocky, I was way too short–tempered and a real jerk, probably gave you a scare. Hoping you can let bygones be bygones”
“Tri okay” Sienna waved her hand dismissively. “What you said was spot–on. I won’t dwell on IL”
“Is that so?” Xenia’s eyes lit up. “So, if you agree with me, that means you and Cedric are done for, right?”
The waiter showed up then, placing a coffee cup in front of Sienna. “Here’s your out late,” he said.
Thanks,” Sienna uid, holding the cup but not drinking.
Kenta squinted just a bit, almost imperceptibly. “Go ahead, have a sip. Let’s tall this through”
“Alright,” Sienna picked up the cup and took a couple of sips. She’d already been running some thoughts through her head on the way
She pursed her lips, looked up, and locked eyes with Xenia. “Look, I know I’m not on Cedric’s level in a lot of ways, but… I can’t make any promises.”
“What do you mean?” Xenia’s smile froze, her expression changing.
“I reckon Siena said slowly, “you’re here because you couldn’t talk Cedric around, right?”
Xenia shut down, her face turning a strange bur
Sienna sow she’d hit the mark. Cards was standing them with his family, and he treated Sienna as his top priority.
