In The Name Of A Daughter

Synopsis

My husband, the police chief, feared I was using his status for personal gain, so he hid our relationship and reassigned me to community policing. When our daughter was kidnapped, I begged for his help—but he coldly dismissed me. "You were a cop too. Do you not know false reports are illegal? Don't think this will expose us. She's my daughter. Even dead, it's her fault." He hung up, cutting off all my pleas. Desperate, I called nearby stations for help, but he blocked every call. The kidnappers murdered her, dumping her body in a lake where it floated for three days before being found. At her funeral, I saw his first love's post online: [To find my lost dog, he deployed all police for a day and night—what a hero!] I stared at the screen, then liked the post. My comment? [Great. Congrats on your happy family.]
