An Officer, His Forbidden Love, And The Crimes That Bind Them

Katerina's Pov...Confronting The Stepfather...Downstairs In The Bar...

"What are you doing here Charlie?" I asked as I stepped behind the bar top.

"A father can't come visit his daughter?" My Stepfather said with an innocent smile.

"Not after what happened after my mother left." I said not accepting his innocence.

"I have apologized for that multiple times, but I was drunk and you look so much like her that - "

"That you thought you could try to have sex with me?" I asked with a hiss. "You are one sick son of a bitch if you honestly think I would ever forgive you for that."

"Katerina Katherine MacGuire, I'm not here to argue about this...I'm here to warn you." Charlie said threatening.

" Warn me about what?"

"Kathleen is back." He said before taking a sip of his whiskey. "Ugh...and she's looking for her daughter."

"And I'm supposed to care because?"

"She's your mother Kat and she just wants to make sure that your happy and safe." He defended weakly.

"Well she should have thought about that before she abandoned me with a drunken sex fiend as a father figure." I argued back. "If she wanted me to be safe then she should have taken me with her." I was still bitter. "That way I would have been protected from someone like you."

"Listen here you ungrateful little slut, I am just trying to help you out...not get disrespected." He said as he attempted to pull me out from behind the bar, but he didn't get the chance to get me off my feet before Christian had him pinned face down with one arm behind his back. "Let go of me, dipshit."

"That's officer dipshit to you asshole." Christian said as he put my stepfather in handcuffs. "Fe, can you grab my phone and call my partner to come get this dirt bag."

"Who are you? Her fuck toy or something?" Charlie asked as he struggled to breath.

"Or something." Chris answered before shoving him to the ground. "Now what are you doing here harassing my sister and her friend?"

"I wasn't harassing anyone, I was just talking to my daughter." He protested.

"And what about you trying to pull her over the bar?" Christian asked as he placed his knee into the man's back. "Because that didn't look like just talking to me."

"What the fuck are you even doing here man, this is a bar not a fucking police station?"

"You just so happened to walk into my bar and harassed my employees, so that's why I am fucking here."

"Chris, you can get off of him now...he can't go anywhere." I said trying to calm myself down from what happened. "Tipton's just around the corner, so he should be here soon."

"Fine, but if he so much as twitches I'll knock his ass out." Christian warned as he stood up from the floor. "Why was he here anyway?"

"He wanted to warn me that my worthless mother is back and then we got into an argument." I answered with a sigh. "But I guess he got a little more worked u then I thought he did."

"Well don't worry about him anymore, because he is going to be spending the rest of the night in a cell for attempted assault." He said with a small smirk. "And I'll make sure that you are safe from him and your mother if you want."

"That's not necessary Christian, I'm sure that I'll be fine on my own." I said dismissively.

"Are you sure about that Kat?" Felicia asked worried. "You could always stay at our house tonight if you don't feel safe."
