Blackmailing Audrey のすべてのチャプター: チャプター 31 - チャプター 40

Seth opens my car door, and we walk toward the entrance to the aquarium. I have never been here but have always wanted to go. I wouldn’t even care about tours or feedings, a day at the aquarium would be the perfect date either way; I have always been fascinated with ocean life. Seth looks through the frosted glass of the front door and a man opens it slowly, “There you are, Seth.” He smiles brightly, shaking his hand. Seth smiles back and motions to me, “Colin, this is Audrey, my date.” He beams at me. Colin shakes my hand and smiles, “Well, Audrey, you are in for a real treat tonight.” I smile and we walk inside the warm aquarium.The smell of salt water immediately assaults my nose and I smile at a mural of the ocean that has been painted on the front wall, “We have sharks, otters, crabs, fish, dolphins, and even a baby whale. So much more. I am sure you are going to love this. We will also be feeding sting rays.”I smile at Seth as I hold his arm tighter, and we follow Colin throu

Derrick gets up and answers the door as I sit on the floor staring at the pictures that came from the envelope. I can hear Derrick talking to the pizza delivery guy and he comes back, kicking the pictures out of the way and setting the pizza box in their place.I sigh as I open the box and smile at him, “Extra cheese?”Derrick grins at me, “Just how you like it. I remember.” He teases. I laugh and take a bite of my pizza and chew slowly. Derrick’s shock is beginning to wear off and I think he is getting ready to start asking me questions now.“So, how was your date with my brother?” he asks, taking a big gulp of Pepsi.I choke on my pizza and shake my head, “That’s what you want to ask?” I smirk, looking at him. He nods as he takes another bite and talks with his mouth full, “I figured we would talk about something boring and easy before the hard stuff began.”I swallow and take his bottle of Pepsi, taking my own swig, “Well for starters, my date with your brother wasn’t boring.” Derr

The world slowly comes into view as I open my eyes and try to focus on my surroundings. I am laying on something soft, like a seat. There’s a window and an engine running, and I lift my head slightly, looking at the panel doors; I think I am in a utility van. My hands and feet are both tied tightly and there’s a gag in my mouth.Panic fills me. I have been kidnapped but what does this person want with me?! I look down and am still fully dressed and thank the lord that nothing crude happened to me while I was unconscious.The van door opens, and I finally lay eyes on my blackmailer-only I don’t.He is wearing a full ski mask and a hat over it and wearing black from head to toe. I can only see his lips and eyes. His eyes are black, and I realize he is wearing contacts to disguise himself further. Bert was right; it is someone I trust.He now talks but he is wearing a voice disguiser and I can’t recognize his voice, “Oh, Audrey.” He beams, sounding very robotic. I squirm and try to screa

I wait in my room for news, but it’s been hours and I haven’t heard from Seth. I am panicking and I can’t stop crying. What if Derrick isn’t, okay? What if being my friend and trying to help me figure all of this out, got him hurt? What if Derrick dies? I would never forgive myself. I had to tell someone. Living with this secret alone was killing me. The agency says they have people watching me, but why did I get taken last night if that is the case? How did they not notice? This doesn’t make sense! The only lead we have now is the one Derrick came up with. Anger starts to fill me, and I reach for my phone, dialing Bert’s number. He answers almost immediately, “Audrey, are you ok?” he asks. I can't help it as my voice cracks, and I begin to cry harder; this has become normal for me in the last 48 hours. I never used to cry but now it seems to be all I can do. I want to be angry but sadness fills me instead. “I was abducted by the blackmailer last night. I need to talk to Mr. Moxin.

Stalker POVI pick up her wallet and go through every little pocket, smiling at her driver’s license picture. One day, her last name won’t be Jasper it will be changed to my last name. I smile and think of her picture; and how happy she’ll be in it.Her smile can light up any of my cloudy days.I felt awful, knocking her out the other night but I had to, and Derrick? That dude is just always in the wrong place and at the wrong time. I knew I would need something to hold over Audrey, Derrick was just an easy target. I had to let him go; I am not a murderer.He was already with her which is not okay. Why was that player with my perfect girl? It’s bad enough I have competition with Mark now. Derrick needs to stay away. It’s not like I wanted to seriously hurt him, but I wanted to send him a message. I think nearly overdosing is one, right?I take out her credit cards next and stare at each one. Audrey has loads of debt, but I am going to pay it all off when this is over. Even the money
