Chapter 90
He turned TO leave.
“Josiah.” Her voice stopped him in his tracks.
“Huh?”
* Josiah turned back, looking at her in confusion. What now? What am I supposed to do? he wondered.
Sienna’s lips trembled slightly as she wrestled with her thoughts. She knew full well that studying under Brenda would open doors to a bright future.
For a dancer, making it to the stage of the performing arts was the ultimate dream. No one wanted to spend their life performing in nightclubs.
But Sienna had no connections. If it weren’t for Josiah, she wouldn’t have even stepped foot inside the dance studio.
This was about her career, a once–in–a–lifetime opportunity she couldn’t refuse, Yet the fact that in was Josiah who had handed it to her filled her with a mix of frustration and unease.
“Why?” she thought bitterly. He never saw me before. Why is he suddenly doing me this huge favor!
I should be grateful, but what about those four years? What were they worth?
Taking a deep breath, Sienna clenched her fists and finally spoke. “Thank you.”
“It’s nothing.” Josiah replied with a faint smile. Inside, he thought, ‘Finally, after all this time, I get to hear her say something nice to me
‘t mean I’ll agree to what you want
But before he could savor the moment, Sienna, her face pale, continued. “I appreciate your help, but that doesn’t m Like I’ve said before, there’s no future for us,”
like a bucket of ice water poured over his head. Josiah felt his heart go cold in an instant. “Why?
“You really don’t know!” Sienna lowered her gaze slightly, standing under the streetlamp, her entire being cloaked in an air of sorrow
Josiah felt a sudden, sharp ache in his chest. His lips parted hesitantly. “Is it because of those four years?”
“Shouldn’t I resent them?” Sienna shot back.
“Four years ago.. Josiah’s brows furrowed, his gaze darkening as memonies surfaced
“Howard was gravely injured and in a coma,” he began, his voice heavy. The doctors said his chances of waking up were slim. Yvette was carrying his only child”
To Josiah, Howard was more than a mentor. He was like a father and a brother rolled into one. Without Howard, Josiah wouldn’t be where he was In his mind, anyone could hurt him, but no one was allowed to hurt Howard,
If he could have taken Howard’s place, he would have done so without hesitation.
Sienna could understand his reasoning, but she could never understand why he refused to trust her. She almost blurted out, “You trusted…
Yvette so much? she added inwardly. But the words caught in her throat, and she held them back.
“What? Trusted what?” Josiah pressed, sensing she had more to say
Sienna shook her head, thinking. Forget it. He didn’t believe me four years ago, and he won’t believe me now. Besides, four years ago, Yvette was lying in a pool of blood, and I was standing right there, watching from above..
Instead of speaking her thoughts, she changed the subject “Remember when you asked me how I knew you had blacklisted me in the industry?”
“Huh?” Josiah raised an eyebrow. “Mr. White told you that?”
“No,” Sienna said quietly, biting her lip. Then she dropped the name. “Yvette. She’s the one who told me:
“What?” Josiah froze, his mind racing as he wondered, ‘Her? But how would she even know?‘
“Let’s go” Sienna had said all she needed to. What Josish chose to do with that information was now up to him:
Sienna want the reckless, naive girl she had once been. She had learned a thing or two about how the world worked. Some matters didn’t need to be shouted from the rooftops.
Otherwise, even if she was in the right, she’d end up looking like she was the one making trouble.
