Stalking The Author 29. Double trouble
Jacqueline's POV"Hey, hold the elevator please," I was pacing my steps, gathering my evening gown lifting it a bit, not wanting to trip on it."Thank you." I plastered my sweetest smile at him, then to the other brother."Your date is downstairs?""Grady right?" I asked not sure about who's who, they're identical twins, almost look the same but I remembered Grady is a bit taller, and slightly built than his brother."And you're Percy," I said winking at the other handsome man before me."And you're Jacqueline, we've met. Sorry about my brother he has a lot on his mind right now." Percy swept his eyes over me, leaving me feeling warm and fuzzy on the inside. He felt safe, while to my other side Grady's stare made me hot all over."Well, see you around then, my date is here," I winked at them as I exit the elevator when we reach the ground floor. I could hear the growl leaving Grady's mouth and it made me bite my lip, but I didn't look back, I kept on walking to the lobby then stepped

Brice's POVIt was late in the afternoon when I reach her place. I went to hers, after taking a quick shower, and changed to a pair of jeans, a casual denim shirt, and my favorite sneakers."Hey," I kissed and pulled her in for a hug. Damn...missed her so fucking much."Hmm...you smell nice,""I took a quick shower at mine,""So, how's the trip?""Boring, lots of technical terms, I'll need Clara's input. I'm sure she wants this, but honestly, I don't know if I want it.""Yeah, why so? it's a big opportunity for you." Ella looked beautiful in her simple summer dress.She was in the kitchen while I watched as she moves, casually making coffee for both of us. I still couldn't believe the stage she was in when she was in the hospital.Ella was the main factor why I was reluctant in signing the movie deal. Deep down I know I love her, so much that I'd give anything for her and keep her safe from harm."Brice?" she asked when I didn't answer."Sorry, it's been a long flight, I think I'm sti

"You sure, you want to do this tonight?" I sipped the room-temperature coffee and looked at my still naked honey bun bun, lazily.Too many orgasms can do that to you, not that I was complaining but I seriously need a pause button to recuperate. But the Energizer Bunny to my side seems very eager to meet my brothers, many orgasms later.Clearly, he was curious about their ability to catch his stalker and put an end to his unsolved case.If there's still a stalker."Yes, tonight, then we'll go back to my place and we'll continue our interrupted intimate time. It has been too long, baby." He put my empty cup and kiss the top of my damp hair, while my mind just went straight to the gutter and he chuckle clearly seeing my longing hopeful look."Let's take a quick shower and get dressed, then you call your brothers,""Just shower?""Oh, Ella, you're insatiable, no...with you it's never going to be just...we're making up for the lost time."I gasped when he took me to his shoulder and smacke

Brice's POV"So you're in love, engaged with the woman from your fan group. Seriously Brice? after pulling strings, owing favors to bury the issue about your stalker, and keeping your personal life in peace, now you're going to dig it up again?"Clara my lovely agent was extremely pissed that morning when I was at her office and informed her about Ella and the whole circus entailed proceeding with me asking her to marry me."...and are you telling me this just now? in the middle of your career-changing, life-altering decision?"She was talking about my indecisiveness towards the movie deal."Don't spite me like I'm a goddamn kid Clara, I love her and I'm not losing her for some damn stalker. Her brothers are helping me with finding the person at fault for Summer's death. I'm just telling you because I considered you as a friend, I thought you'd be happy." I was ready to leave her office, my anger boiling on the inside."Shit, Brice. I'm sorry, don't make me feel like I'm just milking

Everything was moving way too fast. Looking at Brice's ring on me, I feel dizzy, happy, and intoxicated with joy. If I died and gone to hell I'd be smiling, thinking I've lived my life to the fullest. It couldn't get any better, I don't even know how to get down from my pedestal. I was walking on cloud nine, feeling like nothing can bring my happiness down, not even the freaking stalker. Well... maybe the stalker.But still, I never thought everything would head in the direction I've been wanting it to go. My brothers were cautious, while I was free-falling to whatever depth Brice's love was offering, and to this date, it was a deep abyss. The touches, the sex, even the small little attention as asking if I had my lunch already while I was busy with work. They all engulfed me in his warmth, cocooning me in his affection. I couldn't keep smiling like a freaking lunatic and I'm not embarrassed about it.Today was day three after meeting my brothers, spilling them the good news of my eng

"Fuck! this is on me, Ella, now Gemma might be in trouble." He cursed and speed up his car.I ignored him and called Grady. "Grady, you're on speaker. Brice is driving, we're on our way to Gemma,""Gemma is safe, Percy is there right now, go back to Brice's place we'll be there soon as we got the package and see what the fuck is in that thing anyway.""Are you sure? we're almost there," Brice replied, slowly changing to a lower gear."I'm sure, I don't want the stalker following both of you back to your penthouse. We'll get Gemma to stay at ours, Percy said she's still a bit shocked."Brice looked like he was deep in thoughts then give a nod, and told me that we're going back to his place. I kept on talking to Grady while Brice took the next roundabout and speed back to his place."That's it, you're never going back to your place, ever." He muttered the second we reached his place."Brice, I still need some of my stuff," I replied, thinking about the work that has to be done and some

Brice's POVClara had done her job, the announcement of our engagement was out there. She even put our picture on social media. And just as we expected threats came a couple of hours later.Ella and I were at my place having a conference call with her brothers. "Forward us the emails." Grady calmly said while Ella looked a bit nervous, though trying to cover it up in front of me.I took her hand and caressed it with my own while telling her brothers I'll do it later. "Anyway, I have meetings for the movie deal, my agent wants to ride the engagement wave and push forward with the deal. I can't stay with Ella. I need your guards to arrange their schedule to stay with her for a couple of days, I'm pretty sure it's two days from now, but I need to reconfirm it with Clara.""I want to visit mom and dad. I'm bored here," she shifted her eyes from the television to me, she did look bored and I feel bad for letting my stalker impact her daily activities."Actually I think staying at mom and d

Those two facts made me realize that he was really going to kill us both unless Jill kill him first.I could see Jill was sizing him up as she repeatedly looked at him. But I didn't expect her to let out the most embarrassing cry making the man look annoyed enough that he told me to shut her up. That was when I hugged her, while my ears perked up when she whispered in between her fake sobs.Damn, she's good at this."I'm going to lean on you once he lets us out then make a move when he least expected.

Stalking The Author 46. Epilogue
Six months later"We owe this to your family Ella, I know we decided to elope over the weekend. But now everyone is pissed at us, and my phone hasn't stopped buzzing. I'm just going to let the battery die, Clara and my PR team has gone crazy as if I needed their permission to get married." My honey bun bun looked agitated, and I smiled though I felt sorry for him. He looked adorably cute when he's upset, call me selfless but I feel like I need to climb him and join the mile-low club once we landed, if there's such a club. If not, well...I can always make one."Baby, I know that look," he shook his head looking at my horny expression. Seriously, I hope he realized what he's in for the long run and does not regret tying the knot with me. Though it's a done deal now, I smirked and weave his fingers with mine."We'll do it your way, if you feel the need to suck up to my parents and brothers then it's up to you. As long as I get to have you for the rest of my life." I bit my lip, looking a

I slipped into his room after a quick shower, a change of clothes, and a cup of hot tea."Brice...oh my god. I can't believe you're here. You were gone, missing for days." I hugged, then I thought about any injuries that he might have then loosened my arms but he pulled me tighter in his embrace."Ella, baby, I'm so sorry to have made you worry about me." He cupped my face and kissed me, his glasses were on the side table, his eyes were glassy and my heartache thinking of the suffering that he had gone through."Not your fault, she got to you, but you're here now, that's all that matters," I whispered in his ear, assured him as he rest his head to the crook of my neck. It felt as if he was letting go of his burden, he leaned in and I held him close. I kept him close, engulfing him with my love. I was truly hoping we could put it all behind us and pull through from the horror we've been in. Days of worrying if he's dead or alive had drained my emotion and all I want is to be in his arm
Stalking The Author 44. The Unexpected
Two hours earlier...Percy's POV"Okay, we're going in. Jill, be on the lookout from your side."I have two men by my sides, guns on hands, one of the men brought his medical kit on his back just in case. I didn't like it when Jill told me that Grady was gone for some emergency situation I don't even know about. My gut was telling me that he should be with our baby sister, Ella."Yes, sir. Ella is stalling, confirmed, we're going in as planned."Her reply took me back to the current situation, we have been watching the house for almost an hour and waited for her to exit the premises. The house was empty aside from the infrared signature of one person we assumed was Brice, since he was not moving most likely subdued before she got out of the house.His retrieval was easy, the house was bare. There were no triggering switches that'll make the place explode if we accidentally trip them. Ann was no hitman after all, just one sick psycho stalker. But Brice was barely lucid, he was heavily

"Ann, whatever you're planning, please don't do it." I kept on telling her though she kept on ignoring me.Damn it, what is taking them so long?Why haven't they caught up to us?I don't know how long, but it felt like hours until I saw a familiar black SUV from the rearview mirror. My heart was beating faster while I try to peel my eyes away from the other side of the road. I didn't want Ann to see that we're being followed and they're catching up to us.Finally!"Hey! what are you looking at?""Huh?" I turned to face her, putting my stupid face on, trying not to draw attention to the car meters away from us."I was telling you about how Brice likes my homemade cookies. Did you know he like chocolate chip cookies?" She proudly said and I just shook my head trying to let her get to the point, though I know there's none, knowing she's crazy already."I was going to bring you to him, kill you in front of him. I was going to prove to him that I'm better than you." Ann shrugged at me whil

"Tell her, you're on your way, anything, just stall for ten more minutes," Jill instructed me to type a message to Ann's inbox. we were actually a block away from the town's public library. My doppelganger, Jill, said that their team was heading to Ann's place, and their footage showed that a car had left the premises."They need to search the place for Brice, we need her out of the house to make sure we find him. If he's not there, we need to find clues at her house to find Brice." Jill was the only one with me in the car, Grady got called out for an emergency at the office. Something about an important client who needs his expertise."Right." I bit my lip and started typing my lies then hit send. My heart was pounding so fast that my hand was shaking when I let go of my phone. Jill put her hand on mine and told me that everything is going to be okay. "You're with the best, Ella, we will find him.""I know you will, you have too. Oh, my god...it's all my fault, I know Ann. I should'v

By then I started to get worried and insisted to my brothers that I was leaving my parents to go to his penthouse.Grady and Percy meet up with me at Brice's penthouse since they also couldn't reach his phone.

Even his laptop was there. There is no sign of forced entry, no sign of him leaving in a hurry, not even an indication that he was going to leave his penthouse for

Brice's POVI wake up with a feeling of heavy nausea. The last thing I remembered was that I came back from business dinner with Clara where we were discussing about my new book progress and aligning the timetable with everything that Clara had going on for me.Where am I?I groaned when I felt my feet were lifeless, my head was pounding thinking what the fuck is wrong with me when I know for sure that I didn't even drink that much. My eyes were busy looking at my surroundings. My body felt so lethargic that tried my hardest to get up but failed miserably.What hell is happening to me? Why can't I move? Did someone drug me?The room looked clean and simple, the air was a bit damp and musty as if no one has been living here in a while. I was laying down in a clean queen size bed. The lighting was dimmed, and that's when I realized the room had no windows. Fear gets to me immediately and I try to call out but nothing came out. I tried again and finally, I can hear my voice though, my mo

Ann's POVThe moment I saw Brice walk with Ella to his car, I recognized that the woman was not her. The way she attached himself to Brice was too poised as if they were trying their best to look like a couple. The feeling didn't sit well with me, and that's when I saw it. Her eyes, they're too alert, as if she was looking out to her surrounding like a mouse ready to fight back."Damn it!" I cursed the second I realized that she was not Ella, and the real Ella had left town.Weeks earlier I'd spent days cursing, throwing stuff when I learned that Ella was being followed by bodyguards. Everywhere I follow her, she was never alone. Later on, I knew her twin brothers were putting security details on her. I shook my head trying to think hard on how to kill the bitch.Brice will be mine.Brice will be mine.Brice will be mine.I promised to myself, said the words over and over again, every time I reached a dead end. My nails were red from my nerves, I chew them when I get agitated with eac

Ann's POVStupid young love, I had fallen in love with him since I was in high school. One day Brice helped me when a group of mean girls bullied me. He told them to stop and never bother me again. After that day, I'd watch him as the hot senior, gazed from afar, hoping one day he would notice me. Again.School was never my thing, I had never been social, not with anyone. I was a loner who spends my time lurking, following the gorgeous man and watching how he mingles with his friends. Brice always looks so handsome. But I was more than happy just to be in his vicinity, carefully standing in the corner, always away from his line of sight.But my hope, my dream to be someone significant for Brice was crushed months later when my sister Summer met him and told me that she liked him.I was jealous of her while Brice didn't even notice me. Maybe because I always hide in the shadows, but honestly I was too afraid...afraid that he'd reject me. I doubt that he would recognize me. I cursed mys
