It turns out that the other day we were followed back here but not by a vehicle but by a drone. When we thought that we had lost them before that first turn to go down the dirt road they had just stopped and used a drone to follow us. How could I have been so stupid to think that one day I’ll be free to live a normal life? I bet you're wondering how we found all this out, well Cap got up early this morning, as usual, he went out to the front porch to drink his morning coffee and found a drone sitting on a table with a picture of our house taped to it. He brought it in and plopped it in front of Liam. “They found us, brother, they might not have followed you by vehicle but they followed you,” Cap growled. “We are going to have to call in reinforcements. With the court date coming up they seem to be out for blood,” He looked straight at me when he said that. “What if I don’t testify do you think they would leave me alone then,” I trembled.Liam walks over to me putting his arms around m
June third. The first day of the trial for Noah and Caleb. My ex-husband and his brother who abducted me. This day came too fast and too slow for me. I’m scared and grateful this whirlwind of a mess is finally over. I hope so. Will it ever really be over? Maybe, maybe not. I guess it just depends on how this trial goes. My emotions are all over the place this morning as I get dressed for the trial of the century. That’s what they are calling it on the news anyway. One minute I’ll be crying then the next minute I’m calm and collected, and another minute I feel like I’m going to pass out.Liam and Cap stopped by last night to give us an update on everything that had happened since we escaped into the tunnel. The gunfire that had happened was a distraction for two of the cartel men to be able to go into our house and kill us, but to their surprise, we had escaped just in time, plus they didn’t plan on Cap and Liam being there so late. The few men they had brought with them were taken do
It turns out when you help the government take down a big time drug cartel they pay you handsomely even though I had only done it to stay alive and to get my life back. I had no idea that when I had made that fateful cry for help so long ago that I would be the downfall of the Reza cartel. I changed my name permanently to Aria Fitzgerald, Hanna Reza died that day when Caleb abducted her many moons ago. I am in my last semester of Law school. Dennis Blackman told me that when I graduate I could come work with him, he has even been letting me help him in his law firm. Which has taken off like a firestorm since he helped send the Reza’s to federal prison. My sweet Liam has taken some much needed time off from the FBI to rest and to build my dream house on the property that our family was murdered on. I know it sounds weird and creepy but to each their own. The people who had actually owned it weren't going to rebuild the house and just let the land just sit. They pretty much said it was
I met Caleb and Lacy when Noah introduced me to him at a party at his house one weekend. He stared at me with his deep dark brown eyes the whole time we were at the party. I know Noah and Caleb are friends and that they work together, but there was something about him that I couldn't quite put my finger on. When I went to sleep last night I couldn't help but dream of Caleb with his dark eyes and long dark hair. I don't know what's wrong with me. I've never been so obsessed with a man. Even while I was dating Noah I was never this obsessed with him to where I memorized every single detail of him let alone dreamed of him at night. In my dream, I was back at the party where Caleb was staring me down when I got out of my chair when I started taking off my clothes as I walked over to him where I rode him as if I was on a pogo stick. I woke up the next morning literally disappointed.Noah and I seem to spend every weekend at Caleb and Lacy's house. Lacy and I are only a year apart in age,
Noah left for work the next morning while I slowly got up and started my day. As I stretch I reach over and grab my phone from my bedside table then head for the shower. I have to have music when I’m in the shower. When I start drying off my phone rings. “Hello,” I say after pushing the speaker button so I can talk while I get dressed. “Hey, beautiful, are you busy today,” A familiar voice asks. Automatically I recognize the voice as Caleb’s, but it wasn’t his number he called from. “No, I’m free all day what do you need,”“I was going to get Lacy a necklace for Valentine’s Day but I’m not good with jewelry can you help me,”“Yeah, sure I don’t have anything planned for today,” “Great! Thank you I’ll be over to pick you up in a few,”An hour later, Caleb pulls up in his white Ford pickup truck. When I climb inside I get a bad feeling that I shouldn’t be going with him but I just brush it off. “Thanks again for coming with me. I have no clue what Lacy would like,” He admits as he shif
As promised Caleb showed back up the next day. “Did you miss me,” He said as he strutted through the door? “How could I miss someone as awful as you,” I vented hotly. He continued as if he hadn’t heard a word I had said. “Anyway, my dear, I can’t stay long I have to help your family search for you,” Caleb chuckled. “They’re searching for me? That means they will find me and you will be arrested for kidnapping me,” I said, choking back tears. “Oh no my dear, they will not find you. You see, you are in another state and in a remote part of a forest. So you see no one is coming to rescue you, so just accept your fate,”“Never! Someone will find me,” I yell at him as he heads for the door. I still refuse to cry in front of him. I can’t let him know that he is slowly breaking me down slowly.Caleb is right on one hand though nobody will find me all the way out here so I need to figure out how to get myself out of here. I start looking all around me to see if there is anything I can use to
Noah’s friends didn’t believe that he just up and left without telling anyone nor did his family. They all met up at our old house in Herber Springs so they can figure out if Noah actually moved if not what to do next. His parents had a key so they entered the house first and looked around. They noticed that all of his personal items plus all of mine were still in the house. Caleb’s parents somberly stepped out onto the porch. ``Noah didn’t move all of the things he would have taken are still in there. We need to call the police and get them over here,” Ms. Hastings told us as her husband is already on the phone with the police. “They’re on the way over,” Mr. Hastings advised us.When the police finally show up one of the officers stays outside and questions all our friends while the other officer goes inside the house with Noah’s parents. One of Noah’s friends tells the officer that the last time he had heard from Noah was the day before he had disappeared and told the Officer that
I make sure Caleb is gone when I wake up the next morning before making a call to the Herber Springs police department to let them know where Noah’s body was. Not only that, but I also told them who I was and where Caleb was holding me hostage. I had realized that night I couldn’t save my baby, but I could save myself. Caleb was the reason I had lost my child, not mine. I had tried to get him to take me to see a doctor multiple times and he wouldn’t. “Okay Hanna I need to know where you are at,” Detective Lancaster asked me. “I believe I’m in the next town over I’m just not sure what the address is,” “It’s okay, we can trace this phone number and figure out where you are but you need to stay on the phone until we get the location. Can you do that?”“Yes,”I hear him telling the other officers what he needed them to do. “I promise Hanna we will find you and get you out of there,” He promises me. Then he starts talking to me getting all the information about what happened to me and w
