Begging for a Second Chance (Sienna Sloan and Jarred Sterling) novel Chapter 432

Jarred was followed by a group of highly trained subordinates.

In a matter of seconds, they forcefully intervened in the battle, confronting the attacking bodyguards head-on.

The previously one-sided situation was completely reversed in an instant.

The thugs who had been so arrogant just moments before were completely outmatched by Jarred's men.

In barely half a minute, the dense encirclement had entirely crumbled.

Only the heavy, ragged breathing of the men remained on the quiet old road.

Jarred didn't spare another glance at anyone around him.

He locked his sights on the tightly shut car door behind him, striding over and pulling it open with a single motion.

His deep gaze fell upon Sienna, and only after confirming she was unharmed did the concealed ruthlessness on his handsome face finally begin to recede.

Jarred's Adam's apple bobbed, his voice carrying the low, gravelly rasp of someone who had just survived a disaster. "Were you terrified?"

Sienna loathed his domineering attitude and resented his intervention.

She resisted every attempt he made to get close, fighting with everything she had to draw a clear line between them.

Now safely out of danger, there was not a trace of gratitude in Sienna's eyes—only intense impatience and annoyance.

She instinctively took a half-step back, putting distance between them. "I could have handled this myself without you showing up!"

Even though she had just been trapped in a death match and he had swooped in to save her, she refused to give him an ounce of credit.

Hearing this, Jarred didn't pause his movements. He simply bent down and slid into the car, completely cornering her.

His towering frame engulfed her entirely, his overwhelming presence wrapping around her like a suffocating blanket.

Sienna practically recoiled instantly. "What are you doing? Jarred, get the hell out!"

He lowered his gaze to look at her, a searing heat hidden in the depths of his dark eyes that no one else could understand.

"Sienna, remember this clearly: as long as the divorce papers aren't finalized, you are still Jarred Sterling's wife."
