Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 315

Sienna slowly turned her head, meeting his deep, intense eyes.

The overhead lights cast harsh shadows across his face, making his complexion look even more ashen and hiding his true emotions.

Sienna stared at his cold, tense jawline, her tone laced with a sharp edge. "Do you still think this was an accident?"

Jarred remained silent.

"A catastrophic crash on a deserted highway, and the one person who dies just happens to be Mrs. Bridges."

Sienna paused, the corners of her eyes ticking upward with a scrutinizing, mocking curve.

"And Sweetbriar Woods. The second I'm about to go look for evidence, the entire grove gets leveled overnight.

How is everything so incredibly coincidental? It's almost as if someone arranged it perfectly."

Sienna stared directly into his eyes, those captivating eyes that used to always hold a hint of a playful smile.

Right now, he looked like a frozen statue, completely devoid of expression.

Sienna smirked. "I find it very hard to believe that the brilliant Captain Sterling didn't spot a single red flag. Or maybe..."

She dragged out the last word, her smile dripping with venom. "You saw right through it all, but chose to look the other way because of your own selfish desires?"

"No!"

Almost the second the words left her mouth, Jarred snapped his head up, a raw, barely noticeable trace of vulnerability cracking through his voice.

"I have never had any selfish motives when it comes to Celeste."

He took two steps forward, his tall, imposing figure instantly casting a massive shadow over Sienna.

His arm was wrapped in bandages, his shirt still stained with blood.

Yet the aura radiating from him in that moment was suffocating, like a cornered beast ready to snap.

He stared at her, an ocean of chaotic emotions churning in his dark eyes, his voice dropping lower, carrying a subtle edge of surrender.

"Wife, leave it to the police. Stop getting involved in this."
