Whispers of the Heart Epilogue, Part Two
Six Months Later“We the jury find the defendant, Phillip Clark, guilty on all charges.”I breathed a sigh of relief as the jury foreman read the verdict. The state of Tennessee was seeking the death penalty so Phil’s reign of terror was really over. The moment felt bittersweet, at best. Here was someone I thought I knew, someone that I knew could be and was at one point, a good person. Was the monster within always hiding just below the surface or was the reality of losing me and his mother finally his breaking point and he just snapped? I guess we will never really know.As Phil stands up and is placed back in handcuffs, he looks up and locks eyes with me and there it is. Just for a brief moment, I see the old Phil. The look of regret and defeat on his face almost makes me feel guilty for being the one person the most responsible for putting him away today. I say almost because within seconds, that old Phil is gone as his eyes turn cold and I feel as if they are staring into my soul.
Whispers of the Heart Epilogue, Part One
Three Weeks LaterAurora’s POVI sat outside the courtroom on one of those hard, wooden benches with Owen by my side. CiCi was pacing quietly in front of us, giving me last minute instructions. Today, I was testifying before the Grand Jury to indict Phil on multiple counts of murder as well as the crimes involving my abduction. I was nervous but determined.With the information Phil had given me during his narration of his crimes, the authorities were able to not only recover Wendy’s body but also add that murder to his long list of charges. Phil had the audacity during his interview to try to say that I was his accomplice, a new low even for him.I was nervous because once I was called into that room, I was alone again. CiCi and Owen could not be with me. I was also nervous that by some glitch in the system, he would be allowed to walk free but the thoughts of that gave me the determination I needed to make sure that didn’t happen.The prosecutor was good, very good according to CiCi.
Whispers of the Heart The Self Storage Business
Unknown POVOwning a storage complex like Wood Haven Storage didn’t require a lot of work. It was what most would term 'easy money'. I opened the gates every morning at six and closed and locked them again at nine at night. My business held four massive buildings, each containing thirty-six units. Rental tenants came and went as they pleased and I didn’t typically interact with them after that first time they signed their rental contracts unless there was a problem.All of my units were climate controlled and well maintained, the best in the county I would say. The grounds were kept clean and fully paved. Security cameras were in place to not only monitor activity but to give my tenants piece of mind and deter any criminals from messing with the area. Keys were issued for all units and I kept a master set but rarely would I ever need to use them.Yeah, twice a year, I would have my auctioneer buddy auction off units that hadn’t been paid and that always gathered a crowd. That was thank
Whispers of the Heart Glimmer of Hope
Owen’s POV continuedIt only took a couple of minutes to hear the distinctive clack of my mother’s high heels coming down the aisle between the desks and cubicles. Every step was calm, collected but with a sense of purpose and importance. Even her light but firm knock on the door exuded confidence. I called out to her to come in since neither Detective Clements nor Chief Harding were back.She entered and quickly closed the door behind her. She glided over as I stood and she pulled me into a tight embrace. She pulled back, still holding onto my arms as she looked up at me, making sure to lock eyes.“She will be found, Owen. She will be okay. Aurora is tough and strong.”“I know. They might actually have a lead. That’s why Detective Clements stepped out.”I quickly updated her about everything, including things I hadn’t told her before. That included Phil’s romantic interest in Gracie and everything we had been through with him so far. She listened but I could tell it angered her to fin
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 wa
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.Wh
Whispers of the Heart Aftermath
Owen’s love and tenderness didn’t stop in the bedroom. He made sure I was taken care of while we were in the shower, too. He washed my hair, gently massaging my scalp as I stood in his arms. I washed his hair at the same time and there was something so loving, so intimate about it, especially given
Whispers of the Heart Claimed by Him
Aurora POVI thrashed, I moaned, I panted, I gripped the sheets tightly in my hands and I screamed his name as Owen brought me sweet release. My first release was just at the mercy of his skillful mouth and tongue but as he coaxed the next one out of me, he slowly added first one finger and then ano
Whispers of the Heart Taking Her to Paradise
Owen POV continuedI wasted no time pulling it off of her and tossing it behind me as my thumb and forefinger created cups encasing both perfect mounds just as the underwire of the bra had just moments ago. I spent a great amount of time in worship of this perfect area of her body, my mouth, tongue
Whispers of the Heart One Chance to Make It Perfect
Owen POV“I know. That’s why I want it to be you and I want it to be tonight. Make love to me, Owen. Make me yours in every possible way.”I can’t believe what I am hearing as this rush of love, lust and all things her just hits me. My heart is full to busting and at this point, it’s not even about
