I opened my eye hours or days later in an unfamiliar building. I rolled my eyes, trying to feel them. I don't know for how long I have been out, but I am very willing to know who it is that is adding to my troubles."Wow, so you are finally awake? My dear Samantha. It's been days stupid". I heard that voice, I have heard that voice before, How could I not know that voice?I tried to turn to where the voice was coming from, and I had difficulty turning, because I was tied to a chair. I needed to move the seat, so that I could see the face of the hunter.Don't worry yourself dear Samantha,you will see me". He added, and as he got closer, I couldn't believe it. I haven't seen him in five years, why would he stalk me? What does he want? He was quick to send me away, as if he had always wanted to do so.Edward Stones? I called his name. I just cannot believe that it has been my husband stalking me all this while. "Yes dear, it is me. I wouldn't have remembered you, if not for your note
I tried getting up from bed, and the pain all over my body was enough to send me back to the bed.I would have preferred to call the cops, but for someone who have had a case, of child abuse, before now, I don't think I have the right to go to the police, that my husband is abusing my eight year old. What proof do I have? they Wouldn't believe me, they would think I am just trying to get custody of her.I managed to get out of bed. No matter how difficult it all seem, I still have to do something.I staggered out of my room, and walked straight to the door, I didn't bother checking myself in the mirror, I could tell that I look terrible, but on my door step, there was a note, I was not scared to pick it up, if I didn't die last night, I will surely not die soon, so all I just had to do was to open up the note.It was a scary message, but I refused to be scared."Leave the house this minute, and go to your child's school". Was the command written on the note. In as much as I would l
I wiped my eyes thinking I must be seeing things, but when I looked again, it was still Craig, my students, who was in his final year, when the whole world turned against us, saying we were having an affair."Craig? I called out again, and he smiles, before ordering the men that had walked in with me."Leave us. Everybody leave us! The first one was for the men that brought me in, but when he added Everybody, he wanted the guards inside with him to know that he wants to be alone.I was supposed to be relaxed and happy, but I wasn't. As a matter of fact, I became very scared, this could be a case of a psychopath.Has he also been stalking me?"Hello Mrs Samantha, or should I address you as miss now, since you are no longer with your husband? He asked, and I just stared, unsure of what is going on."Craig, what is going on, and why am I here? I asked him, wanting him to cut to the chase."Alright, I was the one who sent you the note to leave the house, but that was before recalling, that
I guess this is where I should have been surprised, but somehow, I wasn't surprised. I mean with what he did the previous day, and what he showed me, why should I be surprised that he was behind all of my troubles? All I wanted to know was what I ever did wrong to him, to make him hate me that much.We were a happy couple, we did things together, we live together, we went places together, we even had a child together, so what did I ever do to him, to make him hate me this much? I looked up at Craig, and asked."But why? He raised a brow, and stared at me with wide eye."Are you really asking me that? Isn't it obvious? Your husband, is a well known paediatrician, if the world finds out, that aside being a paediatrician, he also does drugs, he will go down, He will loose his license, he will loose everything, and then, you had to find out, which was bad for him". I shook my head as to how one could be wrongly accused and misunderstood."But I didn't even know what he was giving to the
CRAIG'S POV.Seeing how pale, sad, weak and so unkempt she looks, makes me want to do so much for her.I just want to see her happy again. She used to be full of life, very happy, dresses to kill, and I have always admired her, but after what those whimps did back then at school, a whole lot changed, and instead of looking out for each day to get to school and see her, I wish that I could finish up on time, so that I could take over my inheritance, and show my grandpa, how well I could run the apple empire."Boss, we are here". I heard my personal Guard Stan say, and that was when I looked around to see that we are actually Infront of where used to be Samantha's house. The place she lived with her family.What do we do now? Stan asked again. Not like I am supposed to be here with them, but the fact that it has to do with Samantha, I want to be here, and see that everything goes as planned."I am going to sit right here, I just need you to go into the house with Joel, If Edward is not
Samantha's POV CONTINUES.Looking at my daughter, brought so much tears to my eyes. She wouldn't even let me touch her, she kept moving away whenever I try getting close to her, she just holds on tight to Mary, who was filled with tears."Hey Whit, she is your mother". Mary reminds her, between tears, and she had to bring out an image from her side, it was in a frame, a little glass frame, it looked hand made. she seem to carry it everywhere she goes. She was looking at the image and looking at me, I think to confirm that it is really me, then I heard her tiny voice."It is you. So you are alive? She asked, and I opened my eyes wide, wondering if she wanted me dead, or she was told that I was dead. She seem to get the question, so she clarified me, by slamming me, some more.You are alive, you live in a place like this with your boyfriend and you abandoned me? Now I get her question, I shook my head to speak, so that she understands that she is mistaken, but she wouldn't let me, she r
I thought I could handle the hurt, but little did I know that my heart wasn't even ready for the blow of having her so close to me just a few minutes ago, and now she is back in that hell hole of a house."How did I ever get to marry such a man? I asked out loud, thinking I was alone, when I felt a hand on my shoulder."Don't worry about him, he isn't worth it". He says, and envelopes me in his broad arms, and I cried like a baby. It was kind of soothing for me, having him tap my back gently like a baby, I almost forgot that he was the same reason my life got destroyed in the first place. When I realized how closely he was holding me, I had to quickly disengage from him."So sorry". I said, sending my hair, across my ear, in a bit to hide my face."I really don't like seeing you cry like this. He says, and I locked eyes with him. You used to be very happy, you saw everything good in things, You always made me smile, I always look forward to hearing you teach and...... (He didn't seem
Third person's POV.Edward stared angrily at his men, who came back with the same news that they couldn't find Samantha. Because of that, he stayed longer than expected at work, before he remembers that she might want to contact her daughter, and he decided to rush home, and when he got home, and didn't find them, he became worried. He was about to call the cops and his family members, when Mary showed up, with Whitney, she was coming from the other side of the house, but Edward lost control, he rushed at her, and gave her a hard slap on the cheek, without explanation. Mary held her cheek, like it would fall off. She have been working with them for years, and she have never seen the man act in such a way. Whitney shouted."Why are you hitting her Dad? She asked, with a cracked voice, as if she is about to break down in tears, as she dropped the things she was holding, and tried helping her, but she was just too little, that her hands, couldn't even go across her shoulder."I was looki
