I had confided in her months ago about what had happened that night that Wendy attacked me. She had said the moment that Wendy moved in that she would not last. That she had known that woman all her life and that she was the desperate type. Not only that, she told me straight up that Wendy hated me so much because she was jealous. Jealous of how beautiful I was, her words not mine, and jealous that I already had Phil wrapped around my finger.

I had scoffed at this, refusing to see it or believe it until that night. I confessed to Barb that I just didn’t know what to do just a couple weeks ago. On a particularly slow evening with not a customer in sight, we sat down as Barb lit up a cigarette between those ruby red lips and after taking a couple long draws, she told me exactly what she thought on the matter. Barb suggested that I give Phil a chance, if he ever was brave enough to make the move and straight up tell me how he felt. She had drummed her fingers on the wood of the table as

  • Whispers of the Heart   Getting Help

    Owen’s POV ContinuedI glanced at the time on the dash screen of the Yukon as I pulled into the police department parking lot. It was ten forty-seven, meaning that Aurora had now been unaccounted for since she signed out at the school at nine-fifteen. An hour and a half with no sign of her anywhere. An hour and a half that anyone could have done anything to her. I needed to stay positive and keep those thoughts out of my head or I would drive myself crazy.I walked in and asked the secretary at the desk to see either Chief Harding or Detective Clements. After she first notified me that neither was available, I insisted that it was urgent. I not only informed her that it was concerning Aurora Butler but I may have also dropped my name along with who my mother and father were.That had her moving out of the chair faster than I had ever imagined she could even move, given her age and physical stature. She practially sprinted to the back and within just a few minutes, Detective Clements w

  • Whispers of the Heart   Gotta Find Her

    Owen’s POVAs I entered the office, I was thankful that I didn’t see Sherry. The last thing I needed right now was her running everything she knew back to Phil. Regardless of his past importance to her and the fact that he was Nate’s father, I despised the guy and just looking at him made my blood boil.There were a few students with one need or another in front of me so I had to wait. As I was beginning to get impatient, I happened to glance over at the log they used to track students coming in early and leaving for various reasons and my eyes widened to see Aurora’s name there. She had listed a doctor’s appointment, of which I was absolutely certain she didn’t have and had left the school not long after she had sent me to class.The pit of anxiety in my stomach only grew seeing that. On one hand, it confirmed what I already knew to be true in my heart and that was that she wasn’t in the building. It made it much easier to know my need here in the office. I needed to sign out, too.W

  • Whispers of the Heart   His Spiral

    **TRIGGER WARNING CONTINUED**He shook his head, bringing him back to reality, back from reliving the memories of his horrendous act. He grabbed the hems of my tattered jeans and in one quick move, ripped what remained from my body, leaving me in nothing but my underwear from the waist down. He eyes glazed over with lust as he drank in the sight laying before him and I closed my eyes, just wanting to disappear.“My God, Aurora! You are gorgeous! If you only knew how bad I wanted you, how long I have waited to see you like this. I barely have any clothes off of you and I already salivate just thinking about how much I have craved you over the last few years.”In that moment I knew that I had never knew Phil. I had lived with yet again another monster and hadn’t the slightest clue. I felt disgusted and just having him looking at me this way made me feel dirty and used.“Don’t worry, though. I just want to get a look at you right now. Just look at the gorgeous prize that I finally won af

  • Whispers of the Heart   Kansas

    **CONTINUED TRIGGER WARNING**He didn’t wait for an answer, not that I could have given him one anyhow, considering that I was rendered helpless and without a voice. Laying on a table and completely at his mercy, I had no choice but to remain still and silent as he continued to talk and cut my pants away from my body.“I was never as happy as I was that morning that I left after we talked in the kitchen. I had put some closure on the Janet memories and you were actually willing to give us a chance, to see me as a real man, a man that could provide for you and take care of you. I was on cloud nine at work all day and coming home that evening, I couldn’t wait to see you and Nate. My family was complete and I had everything I ever wanted.”I lay very still as the scissors continued to cut away, the space between the scissors and my skin becoming more restrictive to the point that I could feel the cool metal against my thigh as he worked his way slowly up the pants leg, cutting away the d

  • Whispers of the Heart   Wendy's Fate

    **CONTINUED TRIGGER WARNING**He continued to work his thumbs into the pressure points on my feet, an act that if done normally and by Owen would have been heavenly. Instead, I shuddered at his touch and wanted to pull away from him and kick him in the face but I was stopped by not only the restraints he had on my feet but also the deranged look on his face as he talked of our plans for the future.“I’m thinking we will go somewhere remote. Tennessee has some rural places but nothing remote enough and I think it will be too easy for them to find us in Tennessee. No, I’m thinking someplace like Montana or maybe the Dakotas. Someplace where we won’t have neighbors for miles. You can homeschool Nate while we grow our family and everything will be perfect. We could have had all of that here but no, you had to decide that I wasn’t good enough for you and run off with that pretty boy.”His grip on my feet tightened to the point of painful and I couldn’t help the whimper that escaped my lips.

  • Whispers of the Heart   It Didn't Have to Come to This

    AUTHOR’S NOTE: The next few chapters come with a TRIGGER WARNING. Although I would never include graphic imagery of sexual assault or anything like that, given this situation with Aurora being held captive, it could potentially bother some readers. If you are one of those, please skip this chapter. From this point forward, I will warn if the chapter could potentially be triggering.Aurora’s POVAs I opened my eyes, my vision blurred and my head was pounding. I tried to move and found my arms and legs restrained. Not only that but when I tried to open my mouth, I found it taped shut. I could only breathe through my nose and that, on top of being tied down sent me into an automatic state of panic. Wherever I was, it was dark. I was laying on something hard, like a table. I pulled against whatever restraints were holding me down but it was useless. I was stuck, trapped.I laid my head back and closed my eyes and tried to recall what had happened and how I got here. I remembered leaving th
