When Rawls picked me up, I had to decide if I was going to tell him about my visit with Evie. He is going to be upset with me for sure. I suppose I deserve it considering everything that had happened with Jonathan.

Rawls looked at me with concern as I got into the car. "How was work today?" he asked, his eyes searching mine for any signs of trouble.

I took a deep breath, debating whether to tell him about my visit with Evie. But the fear for her safety was too great to keep it hidden. "It was fine," I lied, my voice strained.

Rawls could tell I was holding something back. "What happened, Claire?"

I hesitated, my thumb tracing the edge of the seatbelt. "It's Evie. She got a letter from her attacker. He found out where she is." The words spilled out, my voice trembling with the weight of the confession.

Rawls' eyes widened in shock, his grip on the steering wheel tightening. "What? How do you know?"

"She called me, begging me to come see her," I said, the memory of her terro

  • My Life Long Crush   Chapter 78 - Rawls

    Finally, we come to a stop, and the engine goes quiet. The door slides open, and the cold night air rushes in, bringing with it the smell of salt and the distant sound of waves crashing against the shore. We're at the beach house —the same place where Fiona had promised to lead us to Evie. The irony is not lost on me.I climb out, my eyes scanning the area for any sign of movement. The moon is high in the sky, casting a silver light over the sand and the crashing waves. The beach house is a dark silhouette in the distance, looking as abandoned and desolate as the rest of the coastline.Fiona emerges from the shadows, her eyes locking onto mine with an intensity that sends a shiver down my spine. For a moment, I'm torn between the fear of what's happening and the relief of seeing her alive. But there's no time for emotion—not now."You came," she says, her voice a mix of surprise and something else—something darker.I nod, my eyes never leaving hers. "Where is she? Where is my daughte

    He tilts his head, his eyes narrowing. "Ah, but you see," he says, his voice a low purr, "you don't have a choice." My mind races as I look around the room, desperately seeking a weapon, an escape route, anything to save us. The house seems to shrink around me, the walls closing in as my chest tightens with fear. Mom's eyes are wide with terror, and she shakes her head vigorously, trying to warn me. I understand the message—don't come closer. But I can't just leave her here with him. My survival instincts kick in, and I know I have to act fast. Jonathan takes a step toward me, his eyes gleaming with malice. "Don't be stupid, Claire," he says, his voice like a snake's hiss. "You know what happens when you defy me.” My gaze falls to his hand, and my stomach drops when I see the gun glinting in the moonlight. It's pointed at Mom, her eyes pleading with me to be careful. I can't let him take us—I won't let him hurt my baby. . "We're leaving." The gun in Jonathan's hand is unwa

    As he leaves, I fight the urge to follow, to beg him to take me with him. But I know I can't. I'm too much of a liability in my current state. The fear for him, for Evie, for the baby, and for myself is a storm of noise in my head. I need to stay strong, to keep the hope alive. I sit down in the nursery, the silence deafening. The only sound is the faint ticking of the crib mobile above, a reminder of the life we're fighting for. I try to focus on the positive—Fiona’s call, the possibility of finding Evie. But the fear is a living creature, feeding on my doubt. Rawls's footsteps retreat down the hallway, and I listen until the front door clicks shut. My heart feels like it's in a vice, and I take deep breaths to keep the panic at bay. The house is too quiet, save for the occasional muffled murmur of dad's team outside. The thought of Fiona plays in my mind. She's out there, alive, and willing to help. But what if it's a trap? What if Jonathan has somehow turned her against us? I s

    As if an answer to my silent plea, the phone on the nightstand starts to ring. The screen flashes with an unknown number, and for a brief, hopeful moment, I wonder if it's a sign. I pick it up, my heart pounding in my chest, and bring it to my ear. "Hello?" The voice on the other end is faint, but it sends a shockwave through my body. "Rawls," the voice says, and my heart skips a beat. It's Fiona. She really is alive. "Fiona?" Rawls says, his voice tight with disbelief. "Is that really you?" There's a pause, and then her voice, clear as a bell, fills the room. "It's me, Rawls," she says, the sound of her voice like a ghost from the past, haunting and yet oddly comforting. "I need to see you. It's about Evie." My hand tightens around the phone. "What do you know?" Fiona's voice is a mix of pain and urgency. "I know where he's keeping her," she says, the words coming out in a rush. "I can help you get her back." "How?" he asks, his voice gruff. "What do you want in exchang

"I can't sit here and do nothing," I say, pacing the room. "We need to find her." Rawls's eyes are filled with understanding, but his voice is firm. "We will, but we have to be smart about it," he says, his hand landing gently on my shoulder, trying to still my frantic

  • My Life Long Crush   Chapter 73 - Fiona

    I should have gotten Jonathan psychiatric help a long time ago. Even as a child he had issues getting along with other children. The years I was with Rawls and Evie, Jonathan had been raised with his father’s (Marco) family, the Castellanos. Marco had always talked about the strange incidents that occurred when they he was young, but he had always downplayed the seriousness of Jonathan’s behavior. Now, it all made sense. My child had turned into a monster, and we were all just pawns in his twisted game of power and control. I had to see Evie. I had to explain, to apologize for the years of pain I had caused. But would Evie even believe me? Would she recognize me as her mother or the woman who had abandoned her all those years ago? Fear and guilt had been my constant companions since I had gone into hiding, but now, with Evie's safety hanging in the balance, I was going to have to face my past. I had to see her, had to try to make this right. I approached the house where I kne
