Chapter 328
Inside the office.
An officer dropped a file onto Jarred’s desk. “Captain, things are getting complicated. Look at this. The whistleblower just submitted fresh evidence p>
Jarred frowned, picking up the folder and flipping it open.
The officer continued, “Initially, due to lack of proof and your personal guarantee, she was supposed to walk the second her hold expired.
But now, they’ve roped her into an entirely separate case. Her detention time has been officially extended, so she’s stuck there for the foreseeable future p>
Staring at the documents in his hand, Jarred’s gaze grew as dark and unreadable as an abyss.
Just then, the office door swung open.
Deputy Captain Henry Holden walked in. “Captain, Dr. Sloan is downstairs demanding to see you. Nobody can stop her. Should we let her up, or p>
Quite a few people in the precinct were already well aware of Sienna and Jarred’s relationship.
Unsurprisingly, nobody had the guts to forcibly throw out the Captain’s wife.
Jarred raised an eyebrow, pausing his scan of the files. “She… came to see me p>
That was genuinely rare.
In the seven years they had known each other, outside of the very early days of their relationship when she’d occasionally wait for him to finish his shift, she had never once set foot in the precinct.
Since they got married, she refused to come within a mile of the building unless it was strictly business-related.
Henry nodded. “If you don’t give the green light now, she’s probably going to fight her way up here p>
“Send her up p>
“Right away p>
Henry acknowledged the order and promptly ducked out.
The other officer caught the uneasy look in Henry’s eyes, quickly following him out and shutting the door behind them.
Jarred slipped the file into his desk drawer. The moment he looked up, the office door was thrown open.
A fraction of a second prior, he had still been relishing the rare thrill of Sienna actively seeking him out.
But that thrill vanished instantly the moment he met her freezing, murderous gaze.
Her hands were balled into fists at her sides, shaking with visible rage.
Sienna slammed the door behind her with a deafening bang that made every passing officer flinch.
Jarred’s lips curled up in a low chuckle. “Sweetheart, you look like you’re here to catch me cheating p>
Sienna said absolutely nothing. In three long strides, she was standing directly in front of his desk.
She blindly grabbed the closest object and hurled it straight at him.
Jarred’s eyes shifted. He immediately pushed his chair back to dodge.
Despite his quick reflexes, the heavy pen holder still clipped his shoulder, seriding files scattering across the floor in a chaotic mess.
His expression immediately darkened.
Unbothered, Sienna picked up the half-open thermos nearby, not caring if it was boiling hot or ice cold.
She tossed the liquid straight at the man’s face.
Jarred swiftly sidestepped it, but the splashing tea caught his uniform shirt, leaving a massive, dark stain across the fabric
Henry had poured that water just moments ago. It was practically boiling.
Even through the thick layer of his uniform, Jarred felt a searing, burning pain radiate across his stomach.
His shadowy eyes instantly turned dangerous.
Closing the distance with his long legs, he was beside her in a fraction of a second.
Before Sienna could reach for another weapon, he clamped down on her wrist. His face was thunderous, his voice cold and harsh.
“Since when did I spoil you enough to throw this kind of tantrum p>
Smack.
A resounding slap struck him across the face, snapping the handsome man’s head to the side.
The air in the room plummeted to freezing temperatures.
“Jarred, you are a heartless, utterly despicable… Mmph p>
The man’s expression was absolutely glacial, refusing to entertain another word of nonsense.
He gripped her by the waist and roughly shoved her back against the edge of the desk.
His hand clamped over her jaw as he crashed his lips down against her relentless mouth in a punishing kiss.
The lingering scent of black tea mixed with his crisp, masculine cologne quickly overwhelmed her senses.
Sienna brought her hands up, trying to shove him off.
But he only pressed her tighter against the desk, aggressively stepping between her thighs.
The highly compromising position sent an instant, furious flush across Sienna’s cheeks.
She tried to bite him, but Jarred was already far too experienced for that trick.
He expertly shifted his grip on her jaw, forcing her lips to remain parted.
