Sienna, unfazed by his threats, gave a faint smile.
She spoke slowly, her tone calm but resolute: “No, you won’t.”
“Sienna!” Josiah snarled, his anger flaring
*Mr. Flynn, Sienna addressed him with composure, ignoring the storm brewing in his eyes.
She continued, each word deliberate and clear. “How much do you care about the Flynn family’s reputation! If you walk out of here today, at most, ir’ll just look like a petty lovers‘ quarrel over a dancer–no big deal.
“But,” she added, a hint of mockery curling her lips, “if you wreck the Maze, I’ll expose my true identity. I may mean nothing to you, but I’m still legally Mrs. Flynn, aren’t 12”
She chuckled sofily. “When that happens, the entire city of Jeiacrity will know–the wife of Josiah is actually the top dancer of the Mazel
Josiah’s expression neisted. His handsome features darkened, a mix of cold fury and shock flickering in his eyes.
Sienna didn’t flinch. Instead, she laughed again, her voice dripping with sarcasm. “Mr. Flynn, how could you allow something so disgraceful to happent Wouldn’t you agree?”
The room plunged into a suffocating silence. Josiah had to admit, she’d struck a nerve.
Her words landed squarely on his weakest spot. He couldn’t gamble with the Flynn family’s reputation–it wasn’t just has pride at stake but the honor of generations
“Good. Very good!” Josiah narrowed his eyes, his lips curling into a bitter sneer. “Sienna, you truly are an ungrateful wretch”
He took a step closer, his voice cold and biting: “Who is all this for, huh? The Flynn family raised you, and now you’re using us as leverage against

“I wouldn’t dare,” Sienna replied, meeting his gaze with unyielding calm. “As long as you leave me alone, nothing part of the Flynn family. Why bother interfering in my
Their eyes locked in an intense standoff, neither willing to hack down
Suddenly, there was a soft knock at the door.
Who is it? Josiah barked, his irritation evident
“Mr. Flynn… it’s me.” came the hesitant response of Mr. White. “I just wanted to check if there’s anything you need.”
Mr. White’s concem wasn’t unfounded. After what happened with Adrian, he was worried Sienna might be at a disadvantage.
“Nothing! Get out!” Josiah mapped.
“Wait,” Sienna interrupted, her calm voice cutting through his anger,
Josiah frowned, his sharp eyes narrowing. “What are you planning now?”
Sienna turned to Mr. White with a composed smile, her demeanor completely professional “Mr. White, please arrange for some drinks. Mr. Flynn is tonight’s guest of honor. I owe him a toast.”
“What?” Josiah was stunned. At a time like this, she still remembered such a derail
Josiah froze for a moment, disbelief flashing across his face. ‘She’s still treating me like a guest? Even now! If she’s determined to keep up this facade, fine. Let her
“Alright,” he said, his voice laced with sarcasm
Sienna gave Mr. White a polite nod. “Thank you.”
“Of course, right away Mr. White hurried off to prepare, returning shortly with a waiter carrying a tray of drinks.

Sienna stepped forward, picked up the wine bottle, and poured a glass. Holding it with both hands, she offered it to Josiah
“Mr. Flynn,” she said with a faint but sincere smile, “thank you for your support during this time. This drink is my toast to you. Please, enjoy:”
Josiah’s gaze flickered between her and the glass
He snorted sofily, raising an eyebrow as he took the glass. Closing his eyes briefly, he downed it in one smooth motion.
“Good wine. A 72 Chianti, he remarked coldly, placing the empty glass back on the tray.
“That’s Sienna’s choice, Ma White chimed in eagerly. “She picked it out herself. She’s got a good eye
Josiah’s expression didn’t change, but he raised an eyebrow slightly. So, she picked this wine for mer

Josiah leaned in, his voice low and cold, meant only for her to hear. “You’ve chosen to fall so low. Fine. Remember, this is yo
Sienna’s smile didn’t falter, though her hands trembled slightly. She replied, “Yes. Even if this is a dead end. I won’t regret it.”
Josiah’s hand loosened as he straightened up. Without sparing her another glance, he turned and left the mom
Sienna exhaled slowly, her legs unsteady as she backed up against the wall to steady herself.
Mr. White, who had been watching nervously, finally spoke, “Sienna, are you alright?

Sienna shook her head, her smile faint but resolute. “Mr. White, I’m sorry, but he won’t be coming back
Mr. White was confused, “What?”
Several days passed, and Josiah didn’t return to Maze.
Henry grew increasingly anxious. “Sienna, what happened between you n

“Nothing happened, Sienna replied with a small smile. In truth, there was nothing she could say.
She continued, “Perhaps he’s just disappointed after seeing my true self-
Henry exclaimed, “What? That’s impossible!” His disbelief was evident as he added. “How could anyone be dissatisfied with your face? What kind of taste does Mr. Flynn even have!”
But the truth was right in front of him, undeniable. Henry had no choice but t to accept it.
He let ou
out a heavy sigh “Oh well there’s nothing we can do about it”
Sienna, however, remained untroubled. She asked calmly, “Mr. White, do I still need to keep wearing the mask?”
Henry replied instantly, “Of course. But internally, he sighed, I had hoped Mr. Flynn would spotlight her. Who knew it’d end like this! If he won’t back her, the mask days. Some things… I just can’t voice
Looking her in the eye, he said, “For now, don’t take it off. You’ve already made a name foryourself as the masked dancer. Why not keep it as your signature style?
“Alright, 111 follow your advice, Sienna said without resistance.
Henry thought privately, “The mask should come off eventually, yes, hut not yet. It can’t be this easy!
After the dust settled, Sienna became busier than ever. On the set, the first dance scene was ready for filming. Along with some dance doubles, she presented the choreography to Charles, the assistant director, who quickly gave his approval.
The shoot was scheduled for the next two days. During this time, Sienna found herself running between the set and the studio at Maze, either rehearsing or traveling to her next practice session.

That evening, after wrapping up a long day of filming. Sienna sat in the car heading back to 12th Avenue, Suddenly, her phone rang.
She inhaled deeply before swiping to answer. “Mr. Thompson.”
Her tone was tight, as it always was when they spoke. Sienna couldn’t help but feel nervous every time he called, afraid of hearing something bad about Joyce
“Sienna,” Mr. Thompson greeted her warmly, his voice carrying an unusual cheerfulness. T’ve got good news for you”
Sienna straightened her back immediately. “Really? What good news? Could it be…
She didn’t finish the sentence, afraid she might be setting herself up for disappointment. Don’t get carried away, she thought
