Dear Dazina,

I did some research on you, you've got an interesting past.
Mother dead, brother missing, father unavailable and your poor ex, screwed him last night and then ran to his so called best friend.

Now how could I know that when all that didn't happen as Dazina but as... Kate, Kate Stone

Dear Katherine

I can reveal your identity, if you like to avoid that, I want 1,5 million dollar by tonight.
If you don't pay, photos will be leaked of you. You and Dazina's, I mean Dazina with a mask on top of her head.

-your admirer

When I read the mail I threw my glass against the wall, Trevor walked in and saw the furry in my eyes.

I practically ran outside, got in my car and went as fast as I could to Mike's.

I kept knocking in his door more en more aggressive until he opened.

"Hey hey relax" he said furrowing his eyebrows.

I pushed him inside against a wall, I had a knife against his throat. I could see the fear in his eyes.

"Did you tell anyone what happened at Matt's?!" I yelled

"N-no" he said putting his hands up

"Did you tell anyone who I really am?!"

"N-no I-I swear"

I put the knife down, I walked back and sat down in the sofa with my face buried in my hands.
He carefully walked up to me but still on a distance

"Are you alright? What happened"

"I-I got a mail"

"What mail?" He asked

I took out my phone and showed the mail to Mike
He sighed and sat down next to me

"I-I have to tell you something" he said stumbling

I looked up at him not saying anything

"I knew you would get that mail"

I stood up and clenched my jaw

"Kate trust me, I had no choice"

"Trust you?"
"Trust you?!" I said again but raising my voice

"Kate please.. that guy threatened me, threatened you.."

A tear dropped down my face

"You should've told me, we're the damn mafia we can protect ourselves!"

"It wouldn't have changed anything"

"Maybe, but I would've been prepared, it would mean something if you told me"

"How?"

"I don't know, but it would've been better to know"

I wiped away my tears and walked out, when I stood outside I took a deep breath, clearing my head and got in my car.

I got back home, I was about to open my door when I got a text.
