Can't Help Falling In Love With You (Forbidden Love Series Book 3)

 

After two days, Vincent drove Julianna to Travis Springs to meet Sienna and clear all misunderstandings. They reached her house but she and Bronson had gone out. They waited in front of her house for several minutes when Bronson's car entered the gates and parked beside them.

Sienna and Bronson came out and so did Julianna and Vincent. 

"What are you doing here?" Sienna asked them, looking at them with anger.

"We need to talk, Sienna," Vincent said, in a pleading voice.

"There's nothing to talk about, Vincent. Leave me alone, " said Sienna, turning to go into the house.

"Wait, please, I had no other way to get out of this mess," he said, trying to make her see his point of view. 

"You could have told me Vincent, " she said, unhappily. 

"You could have told me too, Sienna, " he said softly. 

She whirled around and faced him."What do you mean?" She asked in confusion. 

"I know you love Bronson. I also know you're pregnant with his baby," he said, staring at her shocked face.

Did dad tell you?" She asked, surprised. 

"Hey, why don't we just go inside and talk?" Said Bronson, opening the door and ushering Sienna inside. 

Vincent and Julianna went inside and sat at the reception room. "So did dad tell you?" Asked Sienna again. 

"No, I knew since the night of the farewell party. I saw both of you outside the washroom that night. I saw you both going upstairs. I saw your pregnancy blood report in your room. I waited until the last minute for you to tell me. When you didn't, I just couldn't destroy our lives anymore. Julianna and I are in love and Bronson and you are in love expecting your first child together What else could I do, Sienna, tell me? If you told me, we could have used the pregnancy as the reason for cancelling the wedding," he said, as Bronson nodded. Why Sienna didn't tell anyone about the pregnancy was beyond his understanding. 

"I couldn't tell you and have the wedding cancelled, Vincent. Dad warned me that if the wedding was cancelled, he would prove me mentally unstable and admit me to a rehabilitation centre for life. I got scared," she said, looking down. 

"My God, how could he?" Said Julianna, coming and hugging Sienna. 

"I'm not their own daughter. I was adopted. I'm aunt Cecilia's illegitimate child. They adopted me to save the family name," she said as tears streamed down her face. Aunt Cecilia was their dad's youngest and most spoiled sister.

Bronson came and sat down beside her, pulling her onto his lap. "It doesn't matter darlin. It's not your fault. It's your aunt's fault. So, don't just think about it. We have each other and our baby. That's all that matters. Right?" He said, caressing her hair. 

She nodded. He was right. It doesn't matter anymore. Her wedding was in three weeks, her baby was fine and the man she loved was with her. 

"You're not the only one Sien. Vincent and I were in love when I was sixteen. Dad found out and sent me away to Alabama. When I returned, you and Vincent were engaged to each other. Later I was forced to work at Vincent's office. One day we shared pizza together at his apartment and dad found out. He threatened to commit suicide if the wedding was cancelled and anything happened to his company. I left home," said Julianna, sighing.

"Oh, I'm so sorry. I didn't  know," said Sienna, comforting her. 

"It's all in the past now, Sienna. Forget it. Our wedding reception is on the fourth of next month at my house. If Bronson and you wish to attend, we'll be glad but we won't force you," said Vincent.

"I don't want to meet them Vincent, otherwise we would have attended, " said Sienna, truthfully. She had no grudges against him and Julianna. It was actually because of them that she was finally with Bronson. 

"You can come and meet me Sien after the wedding, at our house. I will also come here frequently. I want to stay in contact. I want our children to grow up together," said Julianna softly. 

"Yes, Jules, I want that too," she answered. "What about Jake?" She asked curiously. 

"Oh you don't know? Jake's left home and gone to Minnesota to play for the NHL team there. He's got a very good offer there," said Julianna, smiling. 

"Good for him. I wonder whether he too was adopted like me," she said, her voice laced with sarcasm. 

Julianna smiled, "Could be," she said. 

"Our wedding's in three weeks time. Both of you have to attend. I will text you the details later," said Bronson and Vincent agreed. Then turning to Sienna, he said, "Give me your brother's number, I'll call him and invite him."

They all had dinner and left happily, glad that the misunderstandings were over and they were at least on talking terms. 

Sienna didn't attend the wedding. Julianna and Vincent were already married so they just repeated their vows in front.of everyone. The reception party was a huge success. Julianna had invited her friends from college too. Carol came with her husband Maxwell Stephens. She was two months pregnant. 

Sera came with her baby son, Zion. She avoided the topic of Zachary completely and they didn't press her further. River came alone. She seemed the quietest of the lot, a complete opposite to what she was before. 

After their wedding Vincent's dad went to a remote town in Oregon where he had traced his parents. They were no more but their ranch was there. It was looked after by a distant cousin of his. There was a huge fire after Vincent's grandfather's death. Vincent's grandmother was in a huge debt and had taken ill. That was when she sent her only son, Vincent's dad, to the orphanage. She died three days afterwards. 

Leroy Martin didn't return to Austin. He settled down at the ranch. However he kept in touch with Vincent and Julianna. 

Vincent's mom was shattered after her husband left her. She left her Inner Circle and tried to look after the company. Steve was unable to handle so many businesses all on his own. His wife was pregnant and he was struggling. 

So, Vincent's mom regularly visited Vincent at his house and begged him to take over the reins of the company again. She also had taken a liking to Julianna who never misbehaved with her, but always cooked something special for her.

She handed Steve only one section of the company and he was happy. Vincent took over the rest as he was doing before. He roped in Julianna too and they both jointly managed the company. 

His mom joined his dad in Oregon and never returned back. Julianna and Vincent visited them regularly. 

Julianna patched up with her parents and went for dinner many times. She invited them over too. They were astonished at the varied dishes that she could prepare now. Sienna too patched up with her parents. Jake still kept in touch with her.

Life now was what she always wanted it to be, blissfully happy. She was glad that Vincent abducted her that fateful day and made her his forever.
