The light in my darkness ✅

🌕CHAPTER 21🌑

Caroline's point of view

My breath stop in my throat.
I looked around the room and my emotions went down.

"Caroline," Talat was in front of me now, Inspector Ried was holding Matilda by her arm. I heard her hushing voice but I couldn't make out what she was saying.

"Caroline, am sorry. I came to tell you at the hotel."

Tears started to form in my eyes, I could feel it.

How can I blame him when I kept it from Matilda?

I couldn't see from his point of view but now I can.

"I'm sorry for the inconvenience of me just- and - all my problems- oh my god."

Oh my God, I can't cry in front of him again, I can't

Tears filled my eyes so bad
that if I blink am pretty sure they'll fell from my eyes. Even if I don't blink, they will slip.

I backed away from him and reverse my steps. Pointing a index finger at him I waved it at him. I swallowed hard. I knew my facial expression was in pain.

Is this what it feels like to like someone? This type of liking makes me so vulnerable.
Just his posture of him standing with his hands in his pants pocket. Even the black suit makes him look too good. So business formal, yet he makes it looks so good on him, with that pull back ponytail style and his simple jewelry. I guess that's his signature look.

"I'll be fine just make me handle, all of this situation."

He took a step forward and his scent enters my nostrils. That scent of fresh roses. My back was pressed against the door. I lowered my wavering index and swallowed.

Just open the door already!

"Your determination and strong ness amuse me. I've never met a woman so strong."

Woman?

His fingers slowly touched my face and trailed down my cheek bones. My breath hitched in my throat and his eyes followed his fingers movements.

"But you can relax at least one percent. You a have father who loves you, a brother that is willing to protect you from a far, a sister that looks up to you and don't think for once that am going to leave your case behind."

Case?

"Do you walk around and touch all the victims like this? On their cheeks?"

He ignored me and swiftly open the door, causing me to brush against his chest. I had to turn my head to the side so that my lips couldn't taste his neck.

I looked at him one last time and then leave.

Talat's point of view

I watched the door closed and it open again. My breath hitched in my throat.

"You need to tell me what the fuck you did and I mean now."

Boss

Third person point of view

Five minutes earlier

-------------------------------------------------------------

Nine of them wearing uniforms surround the back of the station and Inspector Reid stood in front of them.

"This is what we will do, we get in. Get her, get rid of all the evidence, quickly but surely. Make sure, unless you are going down, am not. Gloves on," She check her wrist watch and signal for everyone to follow her.

"Time start now. We don't have enough time, we have to do it now."

Caroline's point of view

I walked slowly from his room, as soon as I reach the stairs. I glance at the open area I saw on my way up. They look frustrated and busy.

I saw the door to Aziz office opened and I doge behind a wall.
The look and the way he walk seems to say 'alert'.

I watched him enters Talat office and I continued walking.

How could I face Matilda after all this?
How could I look at her and explained without me feeling like a complete ass?
Explaining that I have a brother.

My brain went somewhere else, images flash through my mind. The way Talat's fingertips brush against my skin got me touching  it ; the exact place he touched me.

Heat spread through my cheeks.

I was snap back to reality when I saw Matilda running down the stairs.

"Matilda," I whispered shout. She stop and looked at me.

She mentioned me come in a hurry and suddenly my heart pounded.

I caught up to her and we rushed through the exit.

"They are- they are on to- to something- something big and I think- it involves -involves Pauline," She said through rapid breaths.

She looked around widely and rush towards the side of the building.

"I could could have sworn they, they come around here."

"Matilda, Matilda, what are you doing? We are in front of a station, nothing would go wrong-"

"That doesn't stop anything, see? That's a muddy thing right there."

She ran off and I couldn't do anything but followed her. I tried to stop her, I looked around me and I kept on whisper shouting. Matilda. Matilda.

"Matilda, Matilda, god damnit. I can't keep up with you. I don't know where and what you are doing."

Her ponytail kept bouncing behind her as she ran. Then she slowed down.

I stop as if out of gas.

I didn't know that I had a detective for a sister. What the hell?

I heard voices and muffled screams.

"They are coming, they are coming."
