Ava. I haven’t been able to get the freaking note out of my head. It’s all I think about. I wanted to believe that it was nothing but a prank, but I’m not so sure. Not when I get a bad feeling every time I read it. I’ve thought about reporting, but I don’t want to make a big deal out of it. It wa
“What is it? You’re yelling my name like it’s the end of the world,” I tell him once I realize he still hasn’t said a word. His eyes were wide as if he just discovered something huge. I stare at him. He has a sweat shirt and sweat pants. At first I’m confused why he wasn’t at work, but then I remem

He glares at me, but within seconds, his features soften. He grabs my hand, turns it, and kisses my palm in a really gentle kiss. “I don’t know when I fell in love with you or how; all I know is that I love you, Ava. I didn’t see it back then. I was so overcome with bitterness and anger that I didn
THREE STRIKES AND YOU’RE OUT, AVA. I read and re-read the note. My heart was beating so hard that I thought it would punch a hole through my chest. I was scared shitless and I didn’t know what to do. This was the third note I was getting. I had just come from dropping Noah off at school when I fou
PART 2 Rowan “Sir? Is there anything you need me to get for you from the restaurant?” My secretary asks, but I continue staring outside my office window. The view was really great. It was one of the reasons why I chose it, but today it didn’t offer me the tranquility it usually does. “No. Not to
