051JOANA'S POVWe stayed in the hug for a while, breaking it only when our limbs started to feel numb.“The next time something like this happens again, I'll make sure to cut off your tongue,” I threatened, but he just smiled.“Any body part of mine that you want to dismember when I betray you or hurt you, don't hesitate.”I didn't know if I should take him seriously because, from his tone, it felt like he wasn't joking.“Okay… you said so yourself, don't go back on your words when that day comes.”He chuckled softly, staring deep into my eyes, “That day will never come, and I'll make sure of it.”My heart kept racing when he was inches away from my face. Caleb knew how to make my knees wobble, and one thing was sure: I was growing feelings for him.I slowly pushed him away from my face, trying to hide the growing blush, “Let's go; I'm sure the kids will be wondering where we are.”I rushed down with my hands on my flushed cheeks when I heard giggles and laughter that were certainly

053 JOANA'S POV Caleb looked at me with a worried expression, “what's the crazy part?” I stared at him, battling if I should tell him the truth. Clinton had been stalking me for a while, but they didn't say if he was the cause of the accident. “I have a stalker,” it was the truth after all. Until I got to the bottom of this, I would not be saying anything. “Stalker?!” I nodded, “the police are getting to the middle of it, but the stalker wasn't the cause of the accident.” “But the person is still a stalker, whether or not they did anything bad, I really want you to stop taking things too lightly.” I placed my hands on him, “Thank you for always taking care of me and minding my stubborn ass, but not all stalkers are bad.” He gave me a weird look, “there are many cases where stalkers did vile things to the person they were stalking.” “You think too much,” I pushed his forehead with my finger. He grabbed it swiftly, “because most of the time, you make bad choices, a

055JOANA'S POVThe sound of my alarm kept buzzing, letting out a soft groan, I turned off the alarm to prepare myself for the day.I was beat up from thinking throughout yesterday, I was about heading into the bathroom when a text entered.It was from the delivery company, the jewellery had arrived.I put on my night robe heading downstairs, “mommy…” I heard my kids call out, all dressed in their school uniform.“Good morning, Mommy,” they said in unison.“Good morning, my love. I hope you had a wonderful night.”They nodded their heads quickly, “mommy what about your night?” Jake asked softly.“It was fine, mommy needs to pick up something, go have your breakfast.”I smiled at them as they ran to quickly have their breakfast.I enjoyed the walk to the gate of my estate. It had been a while since I had a walk. Enjoying the birds chirping, the morning sun that complimented my skin tone.The cool breeze that soothed my skin, this really made me feel calm, forgetting about my worries.I

057JOANA'S POVI left the station with a huge headache. It couldn't be Anita. Nobody would give false accusations at gunpoint.I hailed a cab from the station to my office as I drowned in thoughts, I and Anita had never crossed paths, so why?But what if he was just assuming that since the person and Anita had the same body structure, but then again, the description fitted so perfectly?I alighted from the vehicle heading into my office, I was greeted by the staff, and then I remembered I had another unsolved case.I phoned Caleb, opening the door to my office. My eyes met with Caleb's, who had a smiling face, and a lady sat next to him.Anita?!I smiled gently, placing my things on the desk, “Oh, hello, I didn't know we would have a guest,” I tried to hide the awkwardness in the tone of my voice.“I'm sorry for not telling you earlier, but I wanted you both to meet sooner.”Caleb faced Anita, “Anita, I know you may have heard of her, but this is…”“Joana…” she walked up to me with a

059 JOANA'S POV “I think we should head back into the cafè,” Caleb finally broke the wavering silence in the car, I gazed at him, confused. “Why?” His tummy rumbled slightly, exposing his hunger, “that's why.” “It's not my fault that you ran out of the cafè without eating, and besides, I have work to do.” I turned to leave, but Caleb held me by the wrist, “C'mon, I have already apologized. Don't do this to me.” I removed his hand from my wrist, “you only apologized for looking down on me, but you didn't apologize for walking out from me.” “Okay, fine, you win; I'm really sorry for my crazy reaction towards you this morning, so please, can we go together to get brunch? I'm famished.” I gazed at his fake puppy eyes, “don't try to look cute with me, I'm not buying it. Can't you just order in?” I blasted him with the same words he used on me, “I know you're mad at me, but c'mon.” I chuckled softly, “Okay, fine, let's go,” he had a huge smile on his face as we alighte
