I paced around the kitchen while he finished cooking dinner for the both of us. The thought of eating formed nausea in my stomach, anxiety had rushed throughout my body that the man would find out where my family lived — worse yet, follow my friends to the chateau and take them all out. "What is that man's name?" I questioned Rafe as he had reached up towards a cabinet, pulling down two plates. Rafe glanced towards me with his blue eyes gleaming in the dimmed light home. "Baby, you don't need to worry about it." He told me with a soft tone in his voice that wanted to keep me from freaking out at that moment. I shook my head at him. "He threatened to kill me. I know he's out to get my friends." I told him before he passed me to set down two plates with the fresh pasta he cooked onto the long wooden table. He walked over to the pantry and grasped a hold of whiskey that he would mix with coke. Jack and Coke — a drink that was his favorite when it came to alcohol.

He grabbed a small liquor glass and poured half of ice cold coke into the glass. He filled the other half with the alcohol, mixing it slightly. "Sit down, my love." He mentioned and pointed towards a chair that sat facing the large window that could look into another person's home. "Rafe, I'm being serious. I'm scared that he'll find the chateau." I told him as I took a seat in the chair he pointed at. He sat down beside me and laid his hand against my thigh. "Baby, you being so worried isn't going to do anything but make it worse." He said and took a bite of the pasta that was plated beautifully. "I'm scared because JJ beat the shit out of him and then took his money! That's why." I told him once again as fear formed in my eyes. He shook his head at me while chewing his food. "Isla." He said. I widened my eyes and stared at him. "Tell them to come over to avoid JJ being followed back to your house." Rafe commented as he formed annoyance in his tone. I sighed gently at the sense of relief that my family wouldn't be attacked, hopefully.

"He won't mess with me though. Barry won't mess with me or anything around me." Rafe spoke once again and glanced back into my eyes as I started to eat the dinner he prepared. Chewing my food, I bounced my foot underneath the table with anxiety rushing through my bloodstream. "Baby, look at me. I can tell that you're totally distracted. Just listen to me." He commented and put his open hand on my own. I looked at him while giving him full attention. "I-I know." I stuttered as various ideas played in my mind. What would happen if that guy came after my family? What would happen to my little sister? My parents? My friends? What if he killed John B and JJ? "You're going to overwork yourself. It's not good for you or the baby." He spoke while he chewed his food. I nodded my head and gulped the food that I had chewed on, forcing myself to swallow the pasta. "Just think about this. All of it will be over soon, JJ or John B can give him the money back and you'll be left alone. Our baby will be safe and taken care of." He reassured me and kissed my forehead after he finished his dinner. His hand ran over my head while he kissed my forehead.
