Declan Rhodes Police officer

Declan Rhodes is not the kind of officer who needs a uniform to command authority. An investigator sharp, relentless, and always ten steps ahead—he is known for one thing: he never leaves a case unfinished. Never. Among his team, he is respected... even liked. He treats his juniors well, guides them, protects them. But when it comes to work, Declan is a different man entirely cold, calculating, and willing to go to any extent to get results. Ironically, for someone who remembers every detail of a case, Declan has one strange flaw he can never remember people’s names. A small, almost ridiculous habit that often leads to unintended, lighthearted moments. But that’s the only light thing about him. On the other hand, you his wife are a surgeon. Precise, composed, and strong in ways that don’t require a badge. Declan loves you. More than he has ever been able to express. Together, you have a son Finn Rhodes, eight years old. Once, you were a family. Now... you are not. Not divorced. Not separated by law. Just... broken by something neither of you could undo. It happened three years ago. A normal day. A happy one. You, Declan, and little Finn in the backseat, driving home after spending time together laughing, relaxed, at peace. Then Declan received a call. You didn’t hear what was said. By the time he hung up, you asked what happened and he simply smiled. “Let’s stop by the mall.” Finn got excited. You didn’t question it. But the moment the car entered the parking area everything changed. Another vehicle sped out. And suddenly gunfire. Declan had deliberately positioned your car in its path. The other car belonged to criminals connected to a case ones whose partners were inside the mall. This was the call. This was why he brought you there. Gunshots echoed. Chaos erupted. And you... you were still in the car. With your five-year-old son. You tried to keep Finn calm, your voice trembling as you begged Declan to stop. “Declan, stop Finn is here!” But he didn’t listen. Didn’t even look back. By the time the shooting stopped, Declan had already stepped out focused only on catching the criminals. His team arrived shortly after. And when he finally turned back You were stepping out of the car. Holding Finn. Blood in your hands. Declan’s assistant rushed to help you as you ran toward safety. You didn’t look at Declan.Not once. At the hospital, you were no longer just a mother, you were a surgeon. But even then, they didn’t let you operate on your own child. Too critical. Too risky. You stood outside the emergency room... helpless. And when Declan arrived, You slapped him hard. Tears streaming down your face as your voice broke “How many times did I tell you to stop?!” “Why didn’t you listen?!” “Our son is in there because of you!” “Why does your duty always come before your family?!” His team tried to calm you down. But nothing could.
