Novel & Cerita Should I Block His Number

The days pass, and I haven't heard a single word from Liam. No calls, no texts—nothing. I should feel relieved, but instead, it's like this gnawing emptiness, a reminder that maybe I meant even less to him than I thought. I don't know why I expected anything different. Finally, on the third day of silence, I made up my mind. I grab my phone, scroll to Liam's name, and hit "Block." I should have done this a long time ago. A clean break is what I need, and I'm not going to keep hoping for closure that will never come.

"By the way, that unknown number that I'm telling you is still constantly texting me the other day. The last day you texted me, that was the same time he texted me. [Owws really? Can you just block that non-Elyse number?] "Ehh, even. Even if I block it, it will just change the sim and text me again. I blocked that number and then the next day someone texted me again and I know it's only the same person because they are the same in what they say and how they message me."

“It's my ex. I keep him unblocked so he doesn’t try to get hold of me through friends or unknown numbers, and he’s taking advantage of it.” “Maybe you should change your number,” Micheal suggests. “I’ve thought about it, but knowing my luck, I’ll forget to tell those who really need it, and then there’s changing it for the doctors and all that….” I shake my head as I delete the entire text thread from Nate. “Besides, I’ve got a business number. I can’t change that, unfortunately.”

“Why would you answer a blocked number?” Now, I raised mine. “Because my clients call on blocked numbers all the time. Rich people are paranoid. You think I wanted to talk to him? What are you trying to imply here, Theo? That I want the man who’s made me so miserable I almost took a bottle full of Vicodin to kill myself?”

I turned on my phone and decided to scroll through social media, there wasn't any scandal that involved me or Mark lately and I was glad. I hated the attention and the way they all think they know me well enough to judge me, it's very upsetting but there is nothing I can do about it. I received a text from an Unknown number. Unknown number: When are you coming back home? I don't need anyone to tell me who it was so I blocked the number just like I did to his original number, I might be overreacting but I just want him to stay away from me for now. I turned off my phone and slept off after that.

They should think again. I checked my phone and I could see messages from an unknown number, demanding that I listen to him. I knew who this was; it was Travis. Of course, he had my number and he would use other numbers to contact me since I have blocked him in every other way. I blocked the unknown numbers without reading any of his messages. I don't care if he wants to threaten me or not. I have the protection of three alpha bikers now. He is nothing to me.

Dad's voice roared through the phone, and before I could respond, he hung up. I rolled my eyes in speechless frustration. Dad had always been adamant about me being with Mark, despite my repeated attempts at showing how much I hated it. I pulled out my phone, opened the call log, and found my dad's number. With a firm press of my finger, I brought up the options menu and selected "Block Number." A confirmation message popped up, and I tapped "Confirm." The number disappeared from my contacts; outrightly banished from my phone. I dropped the phone on the couch, sank down to the floor, my back against the soft cushions and rested my head tiredly on the arm of the couch.

Good riddance. I make sure to block and delete his contact before locking my phone and crying my eyes out.

Last night, I couldn't sleep properly. Those messages from an unknown number were making me restless. Now also I'm thinking about those messages, standing under the shower. I want to know, why he messaged me and what type of help he needs from me. I really want to know. But how because I have blocked him? Should I unblock him? But how can I trust him? Maybe he is a fraud. But how can he harm me through the phone? I think talking to him over the phone is harmless. I'll unblock him and talk to him. Maybe, I would get to know something about him. Maybe he genuinely needs my help.

“Why are you calling me?” “I had to. You didn’t give me a chance earlier.” “There was no chance to give,” I shot back. “Your showing up today was a mistake. And now you’re blowing up my phone? What do you want? How did you even get my number?” I continue ranting, my voice sharp and unrelenting. "Now let me give you a final warning, Ashton. I don’t want you to ever call this number again. This will be the last time you dial it because I’m blocking your number as soon as I drop this call. Do you hear me?"
