Infidelity [COMPLETED]

Chapter 16: Caught

Detective Reynolds sat across from Emily in the interrogation room, her hands clasped together on the table in front of her. "Emily, we have some new evidence that we'd like to discuss with you," he said, his voice firm.

Emily looked up at him, her eyes cold and calculating. "What evidence?" she asked, her tone indifferent.

"We found text messages on your phone that suggest you planned John's accident," Reynolds said, sliding a folder across the table towards her.

Emily's eyes flicked towards the folder, her heart rate increasing. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said, her voice trembling slightly.

"Don't lie to us, Emily," Reynolds said, leaning forward. "We have a witness who saw you tampering with the brakes on John's car."

Emily swallowed hard, her mind racing. "It was just a joke," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. "I didn't mean for anyone to get hurt."

"A joke?" Reynolds repeated incredulously. "A man is dead because of your 'joke'."

Emily looked down at her hands, tears streaming down her face. "I never meant for it to go this far," she said, her voice breaking.

"It's too late for apologies now," Reynolds said sternly. "You'll be charged with manslaughter, and we'll be seeking the maximum sentence."

Emily nodded silently, her mind numb. She knew she had messed up, and now she was going to pay the price. She closed her eyes and tried to block out the memories of her toxic relationship with John and her jealousy of Sarah. It was all over now, and she had no one to blame but herself.

As a police officer, Reynold had seen his fair share of criminals and dangerous situations. But he had never been so captivated by a suspect as he was with Emily.

From the moment she was brought in for questioning, Reynold couldn't take his eyes off her. Despite the seriousness of the situation, he couldn't help but feel drawn to her striking features and confident demeanour. He found himself wanting to know more about her, to understand the mind behind the crimes.

As he spent more time with her, Reynold couldn't deny the attraction he felt towards Emily. He tried to remain professional, but her charm and wit made it difficult to keep his emotions in check.

One day, as they were discussing the case, Emily leaned in close to Reynold and whispered, "You know, you don't have to play it so straight-laced with me. I can see the way you look at me."

Reynold's heart raced as he realised that she had picked up on his feelings. He didn't know how to respond, so he simply cleared his throat and changed the subject.

But Emily wasn't deterred. She continued to push the boundaries with Reynold, dropping subtle hints and innuendos. He found himself becoming more and more drawn to her, despite knowing that it was wrong.

One night, after a particularly long day of questioning, Emily suggested that they grab a drink together. Reynold hesitated, knowing that it was against protocol, but the temptation was too strong.

As they sat at the bar, Emily leaned in close and whispered, "You know, I've always had a thing for men in uniform."

Reynold's heart raced as he realised that this was his chance. He took her hand and leaned in for a kiss. It was electric, and Reynold knew that he was in deep.

But as their relationship continued, Reynold began to realise that Emily was not the woman he had thought she was. He started to uncover more and more evidence linking her to the crime, and he couldn't ignore the truth any longer.

He knew that he had to do his job, no matter how hard it was. But as he watched Emily being led away in handcuffs, he couldn't help but feel a pang of regret. Despite everything, he had fallen in love with her, and he knew that he would never be the same again.
