Chasing Light Through Darkness By Caleb Snow 6

Chasing Light Through Darkness By Caleb Snow 6 Summary

 

When the police arrived, their attention was immediately drawn to my visibly pregnant belly, which contradicted their initial suspicions. The younger officer expressed disbelief, stating that I didn’t fit the profile of someone threatening or extorting others, especially given my stable family background. Captain Boyle, though skeptical, followed protocol and asked me to come to the station for questioning, assuring me that I would be released if no wrongdoing was found. I accepted, curious to discover who was behind the complaint, suspecting it had to be either Yssa or Xavier.

 

As I walked to the station, I endured hostile stares and verbal attacks from bystanders, many of whom were former colleagues who had once supported me but now joined in the public shaming. Their cruel accusations painted me as a deceitful woman trying to seduce another man despite my pregnancy and marriage. I silently noted Yssa’s skill in turning allies into enemies, recognizing her role in orchestrating this humiliation.

 

Inside the police station, Yssa immediately accused me loudly, claiming I was a married woman pregnant with another man’s child who had used my CEO position to threaten and seduce her husband, Xavier Hennessey. The officers listened carefully, trying to understand her frantic accusations. Yssa confidently presented a photo of Xavier as proof of her claims, but I found the situation absurd and couldn’t help but laugh.

 

Yssa’s anger flared at my laughter, but I calmly pointed out her foolishness in bringing this spectacle to the police without verifying the facts. I questioned whether she had ever bothered to check who the legal representative of the Northbridge Group really was, causing her confidence to waver for the first time.

Chapter 6

The moment the door swung open, their eyes immediately caught sight of my swollen belly. A brief flicker of surprise flashed across their faces, betraying their initial assumptions.

The younger officer couldn’t hold back his disbelief.

“Captain Boyle, she doesn’t look like the type…” he muttered, casting a doubtful glance in my direction. “She’s pregnant. How could she possibly be threatening or extorting anyone? I even checked before we came. Miss Summers’ family background is solid—she doesn’t seem like someone struggling financially.”

Captain Boyle, the lead officer, scrutinized me carefully, suspicion creeping into his expression despite himself. After a moment, he extended his badge with a steady hand.

“Apologies,” he said in a calm tone. “Someone filed a complaint, so we have to follow protocol. Please come with us. If there’s no evidence of wrongdoing, we’ll bring you right back.”

I nodded and gently rested my hand on my belly, smoothing the fabric of my dress.

“It’s alright,” I replied softly. “I’m pregnant and not exactly busy these days.”

Might as well find out who was so eager to stir up trouble for me.

Honestly, anyone with half a brain could guess—it had to be either Yssa or Xavier.

As I made my way to the station, passersby couldn’t help but stare. Some even hurled rotten eggs and wilted vegetable leaves in my direction.

“Isn’t that the thirsty slut from online?” a woman hissed venomously.

“She’s already got a husband and a baby on the way, yet she’s still trying to seduce someone else’s man? Shameless!” another woman chimed in, her voice dripping with disdain.

“Trash like her is a disgrace to all women, dragging our name through the mud!” spat a third.

I glanced around and recognized several of them as longtime employees from the company. They had once called me the Chairman’s wife in the office, but now they had turned against me, joining the hostile crowd.

A cold amusement settled over me at Yssa’s remarkable talent for turning allies into enemies. She was truly skilled at rallying support against me.

The moment I stepped inside the station, Yssa sprang to her feet, pointing a trembling finger at me while shouting curses.

“Officers, thank goodness you’re here!” she exclaimed loudly. “This is the one! She’s that bitch! A married woman, pregnant with another man’s child, seducing my husband! She used her CEO position to threaten him, telling him that if he didn’t sleep with her and do whatever she wanted, she’d ruin him and take everything from him! I couldn’t stand it anymore. How can a woman like this even exist?”

The officers blinked in confusion, trying to piece together her frantic accusations through careful questioning.

“So, you’re saying… Miss Summers is the wife of your husband’s friend, but she set her sights on your husband and tried to coerce him, correct? And your husband is… who?” one officer asked, pen poised over his notebook.

With a smug expression, Yssa pulled out a photo.

“My husband is him—Xavier Hennessey, CEO of the Northbridge Group,” she declared triumphantly.

I couldn’t help but laugh aloud at the absurdity of it all.

Yssa’s face immediately flushed with anger, her eyes narrowing into a glare filled with open contempt.

“What are you laughing at?” she snapped harshly.

“I’ve seen stupidity before,” I said mildly, tilting my head with a faint smile, “but I’ve never encountered anyone quite as foolish as you.”

She had dragged an entire circus into the police station without doing a single shred of homework.

“Did it never occur to you to check who the legal representative of Northbridge Group actually is?” I asked, my voice cool and steady, watching her falter for the first time.

Conclusion

 

As the tension in the station hung heavy, I felt a strange mix of exhaustion and resolve settle over me. Despite the venomous accusations and the hostile stares, I stood firm, knowing that the truth would eventually shine through the shadows cast by jealousy and deceit. The ordeal had peeled back layers of false facades, revealing the depths of Yssa’s desperation and the lengths she was willing to go to manipulate those around her. In that moment, I found a quiet strength in my vulnerability, embracing the life growing inside me as a beacon of hope amid the chaos.

 

Though the path ahead remained uncertain, the chapter closed with a subtle affirmation of my dignity and resilience. The storm of slander and suspicion could not break me, nor could it dim the light I chased through darkness. As the officers began to unravel the tangled web of lies, I held onto the belief that justice and clarity would prevail—not just for me, but for the future I was determined to protect.
