Loving you

Zena's POV I blinked profusely as I struggled to keep my sleepy eyes open, the incessant blare of my alarm piercing through the haze of morning drowsiness. With a heavy groan, I reached out, blindly searching for my phone in the dim light of dawn, desperate to silence the relentless noise that shattered the tranquillity of my room. "Zena!" The sharp call of my name jolted me upright, a surge of adrenaline coursing through my veins as I scanned the room for signs of danger. Yet, all I found was Kelly, my ever-energetic roommate, standing in the doorway with a mischievous grin plastered across her face. "What's wrong? Is everything okay?" I asked, my voice tinged with concern as I searched her expression for any hint of distress. Kelly chuckled, her amusement evident as she leaned against the door frame with casual disregard. "Oh, nothing's wrong. I just love seeing you like this," she replied, her tone laced with playful teasing. Relief flooded through me as I realized there was no

Zena's POV I nervously fidgeted with my fingers, unsure of what to say to the mayor. "Zena, I'm waiting for an answer," he urged, his tone expectant. "Zena, are you okay? Is there a problem?" he inquired, concern evident in his voice. I shook my head, mustering as much confidence as I could. "Philip, there is no problem. I assure you that we are handling the case the best way we possibly can at the station," I replied. "Zena, are you sure? Because I don't want anything to tarnish the good name of my administration," the Mayor pressed. "I am sure, and I want you to be rest assured that we will handle it, that I will handle it," I answered firmly, hoping to allay his concerns. But it seemed the Mayor remained unconvinced. "Tell me, do you have any leads on who is responsible for all these kidnappings?" he asked, his gaze intense. "We have a lead, but you know very well that I cannot disclose our findings to you. Rest assured, my team is on it," I replied, choosing my words carefu

Zena's POV Emotions churned within me as I stood before the captured right hand of El Fuego. The sight of Mr. Lopez stirred a whirlwind of conflicting feelings, a potent concoction of relief, anticipation, and a lingering sense of apprehension. It was a victory, undeniably, to have him in our custody, yet beneath the surface lay the sobering recognition that our journey was far from over. Happiness teased at the edges of my consciousness, an unattainable shade, overshadowed by the harsh reality that success in our line of work was often fleeting, a mere respite in the ceaseless battle against crime and corruption. Ceila's inquiry pierced through the heavy atmosphere of the interrogation room, her voice a stark contrast to the silence that enveloped us. "Boss, what's the plan? How do we extract information from him now?" "It's late. Let him spend the night in holding. Tomorrow, we'll have a little chat with Mr. López here," I replied, my tone betraying none of the turmoil swirling wi

Zena's POVI looked at Ceila stunned. I couldn't believe that she was the one encouraging this.'' Ceila. Are you saying that we give into the demands of a criminal,'' I asked.'' Chief, it is the only way. We have to give something to get something,'' Ceila answered.'' He is a criminal, his demands should not be considered,'' I yelled.'' He will not talk unless he is assured that his son is safe,'' Ceila insisted as she tried to convince me.'' Yes, about that. Why didn't you tell me about the trail you placed on his son?'' I asked.'' I don't have a trail on his son,'' Ceila answered and I was confused.'' What are you saying, you said in there that you did?'' I asked.'' Come on Zena, you are a cop as well. I am surprised that you didn't know I was bluffing. I needed him to talk and making him think that his son could be arrested was the only way,'' Ceila explained.'' What is wrong with me? Why didn't I see that you were bluffing? How did you find out about his son?'' I let out

Zena's POVWalking into my apartment, I was met with the smiling face of my fiance, Noah.I was shocked that he was there. He didn't tell me that he was coming over.'' Hi baby,'' I muttered as Noah walked up to me, hugging me.'' Hi you, I missed you,'' he whispered as he placed a kiss on my lips.'' Why are you here? You didn't tell me that you were coming?'' I asked and Noah's face fell into a frown.'' Am I not allowed to visit my soon-to-be wife?'' Noah asked and I nodded.'' Of course, you can. I am just surprised,'' I answered as I put down my bag and walked over to the fridge pouring myself a glass of juice.'' Where is Kelly? Is she not home,'' I asked as I sipped my drink.'' She is in the showers, she will soon be out,'' Noah answered and I nodded as he urged me to take a seat beside me.'' You know I can not wait for you to be my wife,'' Noah whispered into my ears and his words sent shivers down my spine, as I still couldn't wrap my head around the fact that I would soon
