"I'm sorry" She whispered before the line went dead.
" Dear Tyler,
I'm sorry you had to find out this way but now that everything is going to shit I figured I might as well come clean. Just was too much of a coward to tell you to your face. I haven't been completely honest with you. I know what I have been doing is unforgivable, I have signed over divorce papers, I have hidden in your bank log in your office. Along with my wedding bands. I am tired of pretending to be such a perfect person with a perfect husband and kids. If you're reading this now. I am long gone. Please don't try to look for me. I am paying for my sins. I hope one day you will be able to forgive me. Even if I can never forgive myself. Back when we were in middle school. My parents had made deal with a very successful and dangerous man. Dads company was going under and since he was worried about himself and did not want give up the company he started dealing and got involved with a group of bad and dangerous "clients", he couldn't pay back the money he owed and since my mother tried to help, her funds were also dropping. In the end they couldn't pay back what was owed so they used me as collateral. I was to be sold off to him as a wedding present for his son. I found out when the pregnancy was confirmed. Mom and Dad being disappointed was an understatement. They wanted me to get an abortion but I couldn't , Mom called me a whore and dad tried to beat me so I could miscarry but I ran away to my room and escaped from the window. I have never felt so much fear in my life. As I was running away I heard dad yell out from my window saying that If he ever saw my face around I would regret that I was ever born and not even three days later he called me and told me to not even bother coming home because he had disowned me. I know you remember that day because I stayed in you room crying my eyes out until I fell asleep. There is more to the story though. I know you remember Ben. I only found out that night Rosie was taken from her room when she was younger, Ben Colombo from high school. I always thought that he was Rosie's father. Of course when we dated back then it was a nightmare. It's always been Ben. Ben was the one that I was suppose to marry but since that day never happened, I figured he stopped all together. It was a couple of weeks after I arrived to New York for the workshop. I was paid a visit from a young man by the name of Damon, turns out he's Bens son and since Ben couldn't marry me when we were younger he had threatened to take Rosie away. A couple days before you arrived to New York Ben had gotten into a car accident. Not only were there bullet wounds but a couple of stab marks as if he was involved in a fight. His son had begged me to save him. But I actually let him die. I let him die. I waited until he was in the operation room and did nothing. I figured that I would be able to eliminate the threat if I got rid of him. One thing is for certain though. His blood is on my hands. I need you to keep Rosie safe because they will definitely come after her. A life for a life they said. I told myself that I had to let her detach from me. I had to do and say those horrible things so that this departure can be easier for her. Probably not for her sake but for me. I know it doesn't make sense but I figured if she hated me she wouldn't mind if I left and she would keep that hatred for me. I love her and Aiden more than I love my life and if it means to leave them for their safety then I will do what I must. I hope you find someone that will make you happier than I can. Someone who will love our kids as her own. I am sorry my dear for writing this all down and not even letting you know what was happening. I am sorry you had to find out this way. I love you forever.
Goodbye
Lina.
Tyler's POV
I didn't know what to do. I sat there for hours. The sun had come up and I knew I had to tell Rosie and Aiden but how can I?
What am I going to do? Lina knows I will never stop searching for her until the end. This doesn't make any sense. I pulled out my phone and called the first person I can think of at the moment. He picks up the phone after the second ring.
"Tyler? It's like 6am why did you call me so early?" Kaleb said groggily over the phone as if he just woke up.
"Kaleb, I'm sorry to bother you. There's a problem."
