Blackmailed For Love
Chapter 19: No strings attached
I entered the apartment with one last look over my shoulder, making sure that Kristian didn't follow me.
My heart beat like crazy in my chest and my whole body still hummed from his closeness, the way he had pressed into my body reminding me of the nights we had spent in each other's arms, in secret- grabbing forbidden moments away from public eyes.
Losing ourselves in each other.
My innocent love and his fierce possession.
We had burned for each other.
Two poles desperate to connect.
But the universe had its way and pulled us apart.
4 I took a deep breath to control my emotions and took a step further into the apartment only to pause when my foot landed on something.
When I looked down I found a white envelope without any markings.
Cautiously, I picked it up and shuddered at the way the back of my neck tingled with foreboding.
I tore the envelope and upended its contents in my palm.
All the breath left my lungs as the three photos landed in my palm.
One of me in the diner.
The other with Anna outside this building.
And another that sent a shiver of revulsion and fear through me, it was of me sleeping in my bed with my daughter.
2 The photos slipped from my nerveless fingers as apprehension gripped me, only to up in its intensity when my eyes landed on the back of one of the photos.
"You should have gotten rid of her.
I don't like the reminder of the fact that someone had you before me.
Don't worry, I have a solution for it."
2 I swallowed the bile, my throat closing up and a new kind of terror tore through me as an anguished cry left me.
"Anna!"
Footsteps echoed and then two pairs of legs came in front of me.
I hadn't realized I had dropped down on my knees.
"Mama…"
My sweet angel touched my cheek with her small hand and I looked up to find her grey eyes staring back at me with concern.
"Mama, you are crying."
I grabbed her and hugged her tight to me.
"Anna… My angel…"
I cupped her face and kissed her, my emotions going out of control.
I had thought I had left the sick stalker behind when I changed cities.
He had left veiled threats before but now he was openly threatening my daughter.
I didn't know who it was and why he had targeted me but I couldn't let him harm my daughter.
Even the thought broke me apart.
"Hush… Mama, no crying."
She frowned down at me, admonishing me.
I sniffled on hearing her tight voice.
My little domineering angel.
