“What the fu—”
She stopped herself midway, turning sharply toward Elias with complete disbelief written across her face.
Elias, however, only gave her a calm little smile as if he hadn’t just scared the life out of her.
The officer looked between the two of them before speaking again awkwardly.
“Well… now that we’ve found you, you both can head home.” He smiled politely. “And Mrs. Creed, please try to answer your phone calls next time. Even if you’re angry with your husband, it’s not good to make your family worry.”
Amara forced out a stiff smile while mentally throwing daggers at Elias.
Without another word, she nodded shortly.
A few moments later, she and Elias stepped out of the police station together.
The second they walked outside, Felix hurried toward her.
“Mrs. Creed, your car keys,” he said quickly.
Amara looked at him in confusion, but without thinking much, she handed them over automatically.
The moment Felix grabbed the keys, he immediately rushed toward her car, got inside, and drove off into the night.
Amara’s eyes widened in shock.
“Wait— where the hell are you taking my car?!” she shouted.
But Felix had already disappeared down the street.
Before she could react further, Elias suddenly bent down and lifted her into his arms.
Amara gasped in shock as her feet left the ground.
“What the hell is wrong with you?!” she snapped, struggling against him immediately. “Put me down!”
Elias ignored her completely.
His grip around her legs tightened slightly as he carried her straight across the street toward his car.
Amara kept twisting in his arms angrily, glaring at him. “Elias! Let go of me!”
But he acted as if he couldn’t hear her.
Reaching the car, he opened the passenger door and placed her inside before shutting the door firmly.
A second later, he walked around the driver’s side, got in, and started the engine.
Inside the car, Amara was absolutely furious.
The moment the car pulled onto the road, she turned toward him sharply.
“What the hell is wrong with you?” she exploded. “I already told you my life is none of your business anymore! We’re divorced!”
Elias kept one hand on the steering wheel, his expression calm despite her rage.
“How could you go to the police station over something this ridiculous?” she continued angrily. “What were you even thinking?!”
Elias finally glanced at her briefly before answering smoothly, “You weren’t answering my calls. I had no other way to find my wife.”
