IT'S NOT JUST THE BILLIONS [COMPLETED]

38

Anna's P. O. V.
I sat on the bed, staring at Lincoln speak to the detective on the phone. He sounded so at peace. I on the other hand had my hands folded staring at him speak. He moved towards the window, hanging up.

"She's been taken care of"He said, walking towards me. "I'm so sorry"

"My question is how she got in here"

"They let her get in to come take a few things"

"They let her get in?"I questioned. "And what few things? They could have called you"

"I fired them"

"That's not the point Lincoln. She fired a gun at me. What if I..."

"Never gonna happen"

"It almost happened"I snapped. "I need to go out of town"I said, getting up.

"Out of town?"

"Yeah. Ever since you started this whole drama..."

"I started this whole drama?"

"You dated an insane person"

"Oh really? I didn't know that"He sarcastically said.

"Unbelievable"I said, walking towards the closet.

"She's never gonna bother you or anybody"

"She needs help Lincoln. Help"I said, folding my arms.

"They're helping her"

"And what exactly happened? Why didn't you tell me anything?"

"Everyone tagged me a murderer when I did nothing"

"So you think I'd do the same?"

"I don't like talking about it"

"Well that's the reason she's after everyone that means so much to you!"I shouted. "I could have died today. The second time. Even in your so guarded house..."

"Well nobody is truly safe"he said, walking towards the closet.

"That's what you're gonna say? Nobody is truly safe?"

"You know how everyone blamed me for her insanity?"he asked, looking at me. "She's hot tampered. She looks normal but she's not"he paused. "She thought I cheated on her, didn't wanna let me go and she slipped, rolling down the stairs. I thought she died but her baby died... I was willing to accept a child that's not mine. Who the fuck would do that? Even my family believed I pushed her down the fucking stairs"he scoffed. "Her dad almost made me go to jail for what I didn't do. She started stalking me and I had to go. It was becoming creepy. I never heard from her since... I had no idea she was back in the country...She seemed normal. Why did you think I entered into a contract with her? She understood everything and seemed perfectly normal"he said putting up his hands in quotes. "Everyone hates her except my mum..."he paused, looking at me. "I would never forgive myself if you had died today"he said, looking at me for a second before walking out, slamming the door.

"Hey"Miranda said as I descended the stairs. I was looking for Lincoln around the house since he hasn't come to the room ever since we talked. I took a quick nap wanting to relieve myself.

"I should have never gone to take a nap"she said, walking towards me. "And I wasn't even taking a nap. I just had my headphones on and it seemed too loud and..."

"It's okay Miranda"I said with a wry smile.

"You're so strong"she said. "I'm sorry all that's happened. I should've told you myself but I wanted Lincoln to do that"

"It's fine really"

"Thank God you're not in any kind of shock or anything... and your baby is safe"she sighed. "There's too much drama happening"she laughed trying to lighten the mood. "I'll let you do whatever you came to do. I was going to go pack my bags and leave"

"Why?"

"To avoid ever seeing both of you about to make out again"she said, climbing the stairs making me chuckle a little.

I walked towards the study, knowing he might be there. If he isn't in the library or gym, he's definitely in there.

"Hey"I said, getting the door opened. He was seated on the table, with his phone in his hand.

"Here"He said, handing me some keys.

"What's this?"

"Your car. It came in an hour ago"

"Oh"I said, taking the keys. I wasn't that excited anymore.

"I had someone come check on it"

"I really don't care anymore"I said, watching him take a writing pad beside him.

"If you want to move out of town..."

"I'm not moving out of town Lincoln"I sighed.

"I'm not being selfish. I understand you're terrified and..."

"Lincoln I'm not moving out of town"I said. "Why didn't you come upstairs?"I asked.

"Oh really? You wanted me up in the room?"he asked, walking to sit on the trolly chair in front of his desk. "I thought all you wanted to do was strangle me"He sarcastically said, looking at his laptop on the table, holding the mouse.

"I do want to strangle you"I rolled my eyes.

"Doctor Lewis said you don't have to stress too much and you don't have to get relaxed too much"he said.

"Great"I muttered, walking towards him. "Work again?"I asked, massaging his shoulders.

"Yeah"he said, typing. "I know it's all my fault getting you in Louise's mess and we're both trying not to remember what just happened today..."

"Lincoln..."

"I'm sorry"he apologized, turning to look at me.

"You know you don't have to apologize everytime"

"So you can be mad at me the whole day and tease me while giving me the silent treatment?"he asked.

"That wasn't an actual tease"I gasped, laughing.

"You're right. That was torture"he said.

A few months ago I was mad at Lincoln for yelling at me. I decided to punish him by walking around in my underwear and acting like he doesn't exist. He looked really pained and angry that day.

"Well you deserved it"I said, staring at him. He lifted my top staring at my stomach. "I'm still wondering what we're gonna name her"he said.

"Him"

"Her"

"Him"

"Her"

"Him"

"They"

"I'm not giving birth to twins. Never"I said, playing with his hair.

"What if they are twins?"he asked, looking at me with a cheesy smile taking my hands in his.

"Godforbid Lincoln"I said, standing in akimbo. "Do you want me to shave your head off?"I threatened.

"My hair actually"

"Go to hell"I said, dragging his hair, making him laugh.

"I still can't believe there's a baby inside me"I said, rubbing my belly.

"I still can't believe we're talking about what we've always talked about"He said making me smile a little.

"I gotta go check out my ride"I said, walking to the door.

"Let's go on a date tonight"he said. I turned around with a dry look on.

"With all that's happened today Lincoln. A date?"

"Yeah"He said, looking at me while rolling his chair 360 degrees.

"Fine"I sighed, walking out the door.
