CHAPTER ONE“Hi, Miss Leonard. What a small world. Who would’ve thought my own stepmother was once my teacher?” The voice chilled her bones. Bambi knew that voice. How could she ever forget the voice of her stalker and her nightmare?FLASHBACK“I can’t wait to finally meet your son,” I whispered into the ear of my husband-to-be, rubbing his arm. He leaned in and pressed a soft kiss to my cheek. “You’ll love him.”A lot had changed in the past nine months. After my ex-husband’s death, I never imagined I would be in the hands of another man only three months later, or that we would be getting married in six. It wasn’t as though he had swept me off my feet and made me forget my late husband overnight. But when a rich billionaire walks up to you, says he likes you, proposes three months later, and your own mother is constantly whispering that she will kill herself if you refuse, there really isn’t much of a choice left. You simply accept.Donovan North was the CEO of Zenith Motors. We

CHAPTER TWOThat night, I couldn’t sleep. Even when Donovan came and wrapped his hand around me, kissing the crown of my head before he drifted into a deep sleep, I still could not bring myself to rest. I was under the same roof with my stalker, and with the way he had stared at me earlier, I was not safe.—After my husband’s death, I never thought I’d be stepping foot back into that house. It wasn’t just the home my husband and I had shared; it was the place that had created the most traumatic moments of my life, including my stalking experience and my husband’s brutal murder.I tried not to recall the gruesome night he was killed in cold blood on that carpet as I stepped inside with my spare key to pack the rest of the belongings I had left behind.While packing, I heard the door opening and closing, then Martha’s voice echoed, “When is the moving company coming to sort this out?”I sighed and braced myself for what was to come.They both paused when I stepped out of the room into

CHAPTER THREE By the time I got home, I was shaking but halted when I saw the car Donovan takes to work parked by the car park. I instantly fixed myself. My hair, my dress, everything that felt out of place. Then I entered casually as though I was returning from a professional meeting.He was by the dining table when I walked in. Maria, the cook, was setting the table.His gaze slid to me when he heard my footsteps. A smile appeared on his face. “Hey, my dear. How are you? How was your day?”I managed a smile. “It was fine. Yours?”“Stressful. Managing a company has never been easy.”I nodded.“Come,” he tapped the chair beside him, “come sit, let’s eat. Maria made dinner.”I sat gently, pretending to be interested.Creamy truffle pasta with grilled chicken, creamy mushroom soup, strawberry cheesecake, and champagne all set on the table, and my stomach still twisted, not in hunger but in anxiety.I didn’t know where to start from with the letters. I last saw them eight years ago.I m

CHAPTER FOUR Most of the teachers had left but Taraji, the library teacher, was still there, which made my approach easier. I pretended to just be visiting, gave her a box of chocolate and breezed through the library when she was busy with a student. I went to the exact place I remembered sticking the textbook into. The textbook was one of those useless ones I knew students wouldn’t need so thankfully it was intact and the black-enveloped letters as well. I breathed a sigh of relief when I found the rest of the letters.When I got back home, I looked for Storm everywhere until I asked the maid and she said he was in his room. At first I decided against going to his room but then I realized Donovan wasn’t home and Storm could very possibly decide to ask me about the letters when Donovan was around and I didn’t want that because I didn’t want Donovan to suspect a thing. So I decided to just go now that Donovan wasn’t around.“The door is open.” His voice called out after a small knock.
