Part 53

The rest of the day passed by in a blur of viewing the house, signing the paperwork and just feeling as though I was on Cloud 9 and nothing could push me off of my cloud right now. We even spent our remaining time in Buffalo shopping for new furniture and wallpaper ready for when we had the keys. Sadly though soon it was time for Raw and then time to return to Florida.

We pulled up into our driveway and I couldn't help but feel solemn and glum. Damian looked over to me before talking. "Home sweet home. Well, for now anyway. I will get onto the realtors in a few hours and arrange a valuation. Shall we go in?"

"Yep, suppose we better had." I got out of the car and walked towards the door which no longer held happy times but only fear. I walked up the path and opened the door whilst Damian grabbed the bags and then made my way to the mailbox. There was the usual bills, junk mail and a large brown suspicious looking envelope.

I carried the mail inside before looking through it properly and noticed that the brown envelope had no stamps on it and no address. It simply stated Damian and his slut in black capital letters. My blood ran cold as I started to contemplate and consider all of the things that could be inside when Damian came to my side to see what was taking me so long. I didn't have a chance to open the envelope before it was ripped from my hands. Damian opened it and started flicking through the pages inside, nostrils flaring in anger. He held the pages in one hand while raking the other through his hair. "Sophie, I need you not to panic. Pack a bag for me, everything you need for a few days at least. Anything else you can throw in suitcases and holdalls, do it. I am getting you out of here."

As soon as Damian had told me not to panic, panic set in. "What is going on? What the hell was in there? Damian you are freaking me out." I reached out and took the pages from Damian but it didn't take me long to register what I was looking at; pictures. There was a few of me in the pool the day Dylan followed me from the mall and then there were a few more of me sleeping. That creep had taken pictures through our bedroom blinds and I was in bed alone. Then there were a few of Damian and I going to the airport. The last picture was a figure stood in OUR garden and it just simply said, you won't always be with her. I gathered them altogether and put them back in the envelope before screaming and throwing a vase against the wall. I slid down the wall and onto the floor, angry sobs escaping me as though I was a banshee.

Damian sat next to me, comforting me the same way I had done him in the gym a few days previous. "I know you are upset and scared Soph but I need you to pull it together long enough for me to get you out of here and over to Rhea's. I know you will be safe there while I sort things."

"Sort what Damian? What exactly will you be sorting and how?" Damian stayed quiet. "What do I do? I am trying so hard not to freak out and it isn't that I am scared, I am annoyed that he still thinks he has control over me."

"I know Sophie but these pictures prove that you are not safe here. Go and get your bags packed and I will take you to Rhea's. Do you want to ring her or shall I?"

"I will. I will go and do it now while grabbing a few bits." I kissed Damian, got up and made my way to the bedroom. Once my haven, now somewhere that made my skin crawl. I picked up my phone and set it to ring and left it on speaker so I could pack and talk. It was early but I knew Rhea would be awake as she had caught the same flight as us.

"Hey Soph, what's up? Everything ok?" The familiar Australian twang instantly putting me at ease.

"No Rhea, it isn't. We have just got back as you know and Dylan left us a gift in the mailbox." Rhea gasped on the end of the line but I continued. "Inside were some pictures of me alone in the house, me sleeping and pics of Damian and I at the airport as well as a picture of him standing in our garden. Damian has told me to pack some stuff and ask to come to yours, is that ok? He doesn't want me to be alone and says that he has stuff to sort out."

"Of course. While Damian sorts what he needs too I will send Buddy to come and get you. He is home for a few days so I will get him to come and get you so that Damian can do what he needs. Half hour enough for you to get everything you need?"

"Yeah, that's fine. Thanks Rhea, love ya."

"Love ya too Soph." With that Rhea hung up and I went into overdrive chucking everything I could manage into cases and bags I could find just to try and get as much as I could out of the house and with me so that I didn't have to come back unless necessary.

Damian and I spent the next half hour in almost total silence, other than me informing Damian of Buddy picking me up. He was on and off of the phone whilst I was packing what I could take and what I needed, not knowing if or when I would be back. I was in the kitchen grabbing a drink when I saw Buddy pull into the drive. "Papi? Buddy's here. When? Where? What? I don't even know what I am saying." I took a deep breath but couldn't continue.

"Go to Rhea's. I won't be too long, I promise. Try and get some sleep, I will try and be with you before dinner. I promise." I nodded as tears filled my eyes, not knowing what was happening. I kissed Damian goodbye and left slamming the door behind me, not mad at Damian. Mad at Dylan for doing this to us.
