The light in my darkness ✅

🌕CHAPTER 4🌑

Talat's point of view

Shit, I'm such a motherfucker, Allah, Allah, Grandma you will not be proud of me

I knew she was raped based on her reactions to me touching her. She was scared.

I walked up to her as a jeep of news reporters slowly pulled up on the scene.

Imagine the headline

I knock my palms on my forehead and forcefully pull her in my car. She kicked and screamed at me. Tears streamed down her cheeks, and my heart pained. I saw a few people videoing from their phones, so I hid her face under my arms. I raise my badge and that seems to pull the reporters by magnet.

They surrounded my car, and I ducked her inside and locked the doors. I started the car and sped up out of there.

She whimpered like a last puppy, rubbing her arms together as she eyed me through the rearview mirror.

I knew it was more than just exercise when she ran from the house. The force that came from her when she hit my chest wasn't normal. Her face was ashen and her Knuckles were white.

"You are a strong girl for your age, h—"

"Fuck you," She spat at me. "Say one more word to me again and I will damage you with the box opener." I doubt she had the guts to kill an ant, but if 'push comes to shove' she will slaughter an elephant with bare hands.

Venom leaked from her voice, and she blew a strand of red hair that was sticking to her lower lip. Her cat eyes seem like a deadly weapon.

I could see that whatever bullshit she had been going through, it had finally reached the limit.

Vince, you owed me this; how the hell did you not see? Are you that blind? How did you miss the color of her beautiful ears?

I knew the moment I saw the hair on the floor, that something was off. Pauline's smiles were too much, everything on her was too much.

I was surprised when I saw Vince walk in. I shook my fist at God for a moment back there. I was really not careful when checking those files. I missed his picture, and I wasn't too focused either, since everyone was hoping I could trap the big fish.

I drove passed the police station at full speed. If I ever stop, everyone will tear at her brain. I look up to see the chief waving me down with his hands.

Damn it

I pulled over, and she pulled the door and hopped out.

"What the hell? Talat! I'm officially done with you. You are off the case," He said, walking pell-mell inside.

He can't be serious

"No, no, and no, boss, you can't do that," I was about to follow him but I stopped. "Do not even think of running, stay right there," I point at her with my index finger.

Caroline's point of view

My anger flew out in the air at his command. He reminds me of her, the control is too much.

The securities were watching me but I didn't care. I got in the driver's seat and thank God he left the car running. I drove off without knowing what I was doing. My first time driving a car since I never got any because Pauline was so convinced and said to Dad to wait until I was older. I spin the steering, almost crashing into the wall. A few followed behind me shouting to get out. Everywhere was noisy.

I finally got control of the car and sped off. I saw a wild running Talat, from the Department- no, he was leaping. He was the fastest runner as he pushed through the crowd.

I sped away from the car without knowing where I was going.

Talat's point of view

"Damn it!" I wipe my ponytail in frustration. I remove the hair from the knot at the back and let it loose. Sweat was bursting on my forehead. I pulled the jacket and removed it, wearing a thin 'stuck on my skin' shirt, earning a few 'strip me' gazes from the ladies passing by. A few colleagues came outside to see the show.

"The chief is calling you inside, Mr Morris," This one specific supervisor came out and said.

"Matthew, this is all your fault, you better fucking get my car back," I hissed in his ears as I passed him. I didn't wait for his response and walked aside, swinging the Jacket in a swirl next to me. I pulled my hair back in a ponytail and gritted my teeth.

What the fuck does he want? Everything is fucking falling apart in this place

I walked into his office and slammed the door hard; if it was old board, I'm sure it would have split down the middle.

"What do you want, Dad?" I asked, seeing that we were alone.

"It's chief—" He asked spinning around in his chair.

"Cut the crap; what do you want?" I glared down at him, pressing my knuckles on the desk.

"Answer me!" I barked at him, my anger flared up, and I hit the desk, a lamp cracked, and he watched in amusement.
I throw my jacket in a seat and puff like a cow.

"Are you calm yet? You have other money, you can buy another car," He said carelessly. That's what I don't like about rich people. They don't take the time to know the value of something.

"Grandma bought me that car, and you know I'd rather sell a house than replace that one."

He frowned at that and tension grew in the air.

"She will always be more than a grandma to me; let me remind you, she was there when you and your precious woman you call wife weren't," I can never fully heal from old wounds; I just choose to bury them or ignore them.

" I thought we've reached past it already, son."

"We will never pass it," I said, glaring at him; my anger had been bottled up for too long. Drowning myself in murder cases took my mind off my personal shit, but now, I came across someone, someone with perfect cat eyes, that took my car and flipped my memories.

Imagine coming to work, working for your dad, and calling him chief; dad only leaves your mouth once upon a time. There is hardly a father bond, one that got destroyed growing up. It's just work, chief, chief, work. The only small vacation and family peace is when I visit Grandma, Akim, and Volkan.

I grab my jacket and leave him in there, with his thoughts. I haven't flipped like that in three years, at least not at him.

Now I have to find her before she sees something I don't want her to see. Something her dad should tell her, not me.

---------------------------------------------------------
I see this one shorter is than the rest.

What are your thoughts?

So the chief is his dad, was it surprising?

What is he talking about ' the thing he doesn't want her to find in his car?'

Can you guess?
