Caught In His Embrace: A Second Chance Romance

Chapter 2 After an intense session of vomiting that felt like it was turning er inside out , Sienna found herself in the hospital .

Doctor , whats wrong with me ? she asked , nervously waiting for the test results .

The doctor didnt answer immediately .

Instead , he asked , Are you married ? Sienna paused and nodded slowly , Yeah , I am .

Congratulations , youre going to be a mom , the doctor announced .

What ? Siennas heart raced , her eyes wide with disbelief .

The heatwave had been brutal , and for days , shed barely had an appetite .

Occasionally , she had even experienced some nausea .

She had thought it was just the summer heat or maybe some ordinary stomach bug .

But morning sickness ? It would have been exciting news before last night Hesitantly , Sienna asked , Are you sure ? I mean , these things can get mixed up , right ? Mind telling me when your last period was ? the doctor asked .

Siepna did a quick mental calculation , her face turning even paler .

Its been about a week overdue .

Then thats your answer , the doctor shrugged , placing the test results in front of her .

Look , blood tests dont lie .

You are definitely pregnant .

Sienna opened the report , her heart thumping as she read the bold print , stamped with the words early pregnancy .

She abruptly shut her eyes gripping the paper tightly .

Thanks , doc .

Stepping outside the hospital , the scorching sun blared down on her, stinging her eyes and threatening to bring tears .

She closed her eyes , whispering to herself , What do I do now ? Sienna and Josiah had been married for less than two months .

They hadnt spent much time together physically , and their few encounters had been rushed .

At first , she thought Josiah just wasnt into that sort of thing .

Truth be told , she wasnt a big fan either it always ended up hurting .

Now , the truth hit Sienna like a ton of bricks .

He wasnt against intimacy ; he was just against being intimate with her .

Those few moments they had together were probably just for Mirandas sake .

But now she was pregnant of all times .

The shock was too much , and she couldnt think straight about what to do next , or even if she should keep the baby .

Sienna was only 20 , too young for such a huge decision .

After hours of agonizing thoughts , she realized she had to talk to Josiah .

After all , he was the father .

Josiah was at the hospital .

Yvette had suffered a miscarriage and was still under observation , needing time to recover .

To care for her , he had brought work into her hospital room .

When Sienna arrived , she was stopped at the entrance by Josiahs bodyguards , Chester and James Lewis .

Mrs.

Flynn , Im afraid youll have to wait .

You cant go in just yet .

Why not ? Sienna blinked , puzzled .

Chapter 7 Well it Mr.

Flynns ondes Chester replied , trying to keep his ne soothing .

Josiahs order ? Is he worried I might cause trouble for Yvette , of he just afraid Yvette would be upset if she sees me ? Sienna lowered her head , feeling defeated and hopeless .

She seed fragile , yet there was a stubborn streak in her .

Clenching her fists , she pleaded , I wont go in , but could you please tell him I need to see him ? I have something really important to discuss .

After a quick glance at Chester , James nodded and headed inside to deliver the message to Josiah .

Not happening , Josiah replied coldly , his indifference evident .

With a sneer , he added , Tell her to stay away from the hospital room .

Durb Yvettes rest , Okay , Mr.

Flynn .

James headed back out and conveyed Josiahs words to Sienna .

Siennas face drained of color as she listened .

Her hands , clenched tightly , shook uncontrollably .

You need to leave , Mrs.

Flynn .

Ms.

Young could wake up at any moment .

It wouldnt be good if she sees you , James added .

Im leaving now , Sienna said , biting her lip so hard it drew blood , but she was oblivious to it .

As she stepped out of the surgical building , she hesitated she couldnt just walk away ; tomorrow , she was flying out of the country .

In a foreign place , she wouldnt even know what to do .

So , she stood there waiting for Josiah , convinced he would come out eventually .

Seconds turned into minutes , and before she knew it , her legs felt numb .

The sky grew darker , and soon , a heavy rain started pouring down .

Just when Sienna thought Josiah would spend the night in there , he emerged .

The soft glow of the lights highlighted his handsome features , making him look charming and distinguished as ever .

Josiah ! Sienna called out , breaking into a run towards him .

Josiah frowned , Tsk , stop her ! Yes , Mr.

Flynn , Chester replied , stepping forward to block Siennas path .

Unable to get to Josiah , Sienna called out , her voice tinged with urgency , I have something really important to tell you , Josiah ! But Josiah didnt even glance her way .

The driver pulled up to the steps , and Josiah walked right to the car , opened the door , and slid in .

Sienna couldnt believe it .

She yelled , Josiah , please ! I really need to talk to you ! But Josiah ignored her completely .

He shut the car door with a thud and told the driver , Lets get going Siennas eyes widened as the car pulled away from her .

Suddenly , she found a burst of energy , pushed past Chester , and sprinted after the car .

Josiah Flynn , stop ! Please , just stop … she cried , sprinting after the car with tears streaming down her cheeks .

She ran so fast that the air felt like needles as it pierced her lungs .

But the car kept speeding away .

When Sienna reached the entrance , her foot slipped , and she crashed to the ground hard , gasping in pain .

Inside the car , James looked back and said quietly , Mr.

Flynn , Mrs.

Flynn fell Josiah glanced in the rearview mirror and saw Sienna sprawled on the wet ground , soaked and covered in mud .

He frowned for a moment , but quickly hardened his resolve .

Chapter 2 Its just a fall .

Shes not made of glass whats the worst that can happen ! Drive faster .

I dont want her to catch up and cause any trouble , he said , his voice icy .

Yes , Mr.

Flynn James pressed down on the gas , and the car sped away .

Sienna watched in despair as the car shrank into the distance , her heart sinking with every second .

She struggled to her feet , her arms and palms scraped , with blood seeping out and mixing with the rainwater .

A sharp pain hit her , like a knife stabbing through her .

She closed her eyes , and her tears flowed freely , blending with the relentless downpour .

Back at Silver Beach , Sienna felt completely drained .

She didnt even bother to shower ; she just collapsed onto the couch , still in her wet clothes .

What else can I do ? Who can I turn to for help ? Siennas thoughts were spinning .

Suddenly , an idea flashed through her mind .

She grabbed her phone and dialed a number she knew by heart .

The ringing echoed in Siennas ears , and she held her breath , a flicker of hope lighting up inside her .

Hello ? a womans voice answered on the other end .

Instantly , the spark in Siennas eyes dimmed .

Hello ? Who is this ? Speak up , the woman asked , her tone edged with annoyance .

If you dont say something .

Fm hanging up .

And with that , the call went dead .

Stenna gripped her phone tightly and bit her lip , tears streaming down her cheeks she felt so foolish for making that call In frustration , she hurled the phone across the room and buried her face in a pillow .

The entire night blurred by .

Sienna lost track of when she finally fell asleep , but when she woke up , her head throbbed painfully .

The doorbell rang insistently , each chime grating on her nerves .

Suddenly , the door swung open .

Josiah stepped in , his handsome face shadowed with anger .
