Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 320

It was four in the morning.

After finishing the paperwork, Sienna Sloan and Thea Stanton walked out of the interrogation room side by side.

A dull gray crept along the horizon as the night stubbornly clung to the sky.

Thea glanced at the woman beside her, a flash of undeniable shock crossing her features.

The Sienna she knew had always been decisive and relentlessly energetic.

No matter what obstacles she faced, she was usually like a drawn blade—sharp, focused, and completely unstoppable.

But right now, stripped of her guarded facade, exhaustion weighed heavily on her face.

Faint shadows lingered beneath her normally bright eyes, which were now clouded with a thick haze of fatigue.

Even the tension in her jaw betrayed her deep weariness.

Thea’s heart sank slightly. She slowed her pace, offering a gentle word of comfort.

"You handled yourself perfectly in there without a single misstep. I carefully reviewed all the evidence the police have on file.

Sienna said nothing. Her gaze landed on the tightly shut iron door at the end of the corridor, lost in thought.

Thea paused before adding, "I doubt they have any concrete proof.

It just comes down to the fact that Luna was away from her desk when she was on the phone with you.

There are no recordings anyway. If they had audio, they would have played it already."

Sienna’s hand twitched at her side. When she spoke, her voice was raspy from the sleepless night.

"What about Luna? How is she holding up?"

Thea let out a soft sigh, her tone tinged with helplessness. "Her situation is much trickier than yours.
