Chapter 4: Her Resolve

◦•●◉✿✿◉●•◦

Freen sat in her sleek, modern office, her mind drifting away from the pile of reports on her desk. As a well-known police officer, she was accustomed to dealing with tough cases, but the image of Becky's tear-streaked face and desperate eyes haunted her thoughts.

Despite her humble demeanor, Freen's life was far from ordinary. She was not only a top-ranking officer but also the owner of a major corporation, a detail known only to a select few. Her father, an influential man in the city with deep political and business ties, had taught her the importance of using power for good. Today, Freen intended to use every resource at her disposal to help Becky.

Freen picked up her phone and dialed a number. "Irin, it's Freen. I need you to look into someone for me. Her name is Becky. I'll send you the details."

Irin, Freen's trusted confidant and assistant, responded immediately. "Understood, ma'am. I'll get right on it. Anything specific you need?"

"Everything. I want to know where she lives, if she has worked, her daily routine, and most importantly, everything about her husband." Freen replied, her voice steely with determination.

"Consider it done," Irin assured her before hanging up.

Freen leaned back in her chair, her mind racing with thoughts of how to best approach the situation. She knew that simply offering the woman she just met, a way out wasn't enough; she needed solid evidence against her husband to ensure her safety. Freen's police training had taught her the importance of patience and thoroughness, and this case was no different.

Later that day, Freen visited her father's sprawling estate. As she walked through the grand halls, she thought about the lessons he had instilled in her. "Use your influence wisely," he had always said. "And never turn a blind eye to those in need."

In her father's study, she found him reviewing some documents. "Father, I need your help," without further ado, Freen said, her tone earnest.

Her father looked up, his eyes sharp and curious. "Of course, honey. What is it?"

Freen explained the situation, detailing her encounter with Becky and her concerns about her husband's abusive behavior. "I need to find a way to help her, but I also need to gather evidence to put that man behind bars."

Her father listened intently, nodding. "You have my full support, Freen. I'll have my contacts look into that man's background. In the meantime, use our resources to protect that young woman. If there's anything you need, just ask."

"Thank you, Father," Freen replied, feeling a surge of gratitude and resolve.

As she stood to leave, her father spoke again, studying her carefully. "Why this woman, Freen? You've seen many cases in your line of work. Why is this one different to the point that you personally asked for my help?"

Freen took a deep breath, her thoughts racing. She can't really explain why. "Because I saw something in her eyes, Father. A plea for help, a silent cry for someone to care." She simply explained, "She's trapped in a nightmare, and I can't stand by and do nothing. I've always believed that with our power and resources, we have a duty to protect those who can't protect themselves."

Her father nodded slowly, his expression thoughtful. "I see."

But he knows every bit of his daughter, he knows there's more to this. Freen wouldn't be this invested if it were just about doing the right thing.

Freen left the estate with a renewed sense of purpose.

Back at her office, Freen's phone buzzed with a message from Irin. It contained a detailed report on Becky and Nop. Freen's eyes scanned the information quickly, noting the patterns and locations that could be useful for surveillance.

"Irin, excellent work," Freen said as she dialed her number again. "I need you to coordinate with our security team. We need eyes on Becky and Nop at all times. And inform the tech department to start tracking their communications."

"Will do, Freen," Irin replied, her efficiency and loyalty shining through.

As the days passed, Freen's investigation into Becky and Nop deepened. Her connections provided her with crucial insights into Nop's background, revealing a history of aggression and a potential network of enablers. Freen meticulously gathered evidence, documenting everything that could be used against him.

Despite the long hours and the emotional toll, Freen remained focused. She couldn't let Becky's plight fade into the background like so many others. Her resolve grew stronger with each passing day, fueled by the desire to see Becky free from the nightmare she was living.

One evening, Freen stood on the balcony of her office, looking out at the city lights. Her phone rang, and she answered quickly. "Irin, any updates?"

"Yes, Freen," Irin replied. "We've got enough to build a strong case against this man, Nop. We're ready to move whenever you give the word."

Freen felt a wave of relief wash over her. "Good. Let's proceed carefully. I don't want to risk Becky's safety. We'll coordinate with the local authorities and ensure she's protected throughout this process."

As she ended the call, Freen's thoughts returned to Becky. She knew the path ahead would be difficult, but she was determined to see it through. Becky's silent suffering had awakened a fierce determination within her, and Freen wouldn't rest until Becky was free from Nop's grasp.
