Is the light really at the end of the tunnel...

Chapter 38

*SUDDEN SOUND BLASTS THROUGH THE SPEAKER*

*THUMP*

‘GROANS’

In this very moment I am regretting setting this song as my alarm because it is the very reason why I ended up on the floor but then again I don’t know why I didn’t put my phone on vibrate because the sound of an alarm in the morning makes me feel very anxious making my heart beat really fast.

Anyways I get up and begrudgingly go to the bathroom to shower and get ready for the day. I’m definitely not ready for today, probably because I will be lounging at home all days and it is going to be very lonely without Adelaide or the girls to keep me busy.

Get ready, eat my breakfast and just decide to catch up on work because I had nothing else to do.

About an hour later I receive a phone call.

“Hello,” I say without checking who the caller was.
“I see you’ve met my partner Nalia…,” it was Sam and the minute he said that chills went down my spine.

“I told you that I’m everywhere,” he laughed and I felt sick to my stomach.

“WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM ME!” I suddenly shouted because I have had it with Sam and his mind games.

“Woah, no need to get fired up because we both know there’s nothing you can do, anyways I was just trying to have a normal conversation with you, telling you about my-,” I cut him off

“Sam what do you want from me because you seem to be putting my family in danger for nothing,” I stated angrily 

“Oh that’s where you’re wrong, I told you before that I want revenge be-,” I cut him off again

“Revenge for what Sam because all you do is to cause problems, when is this going to end because if you were looking to break up my family you succeeded because I’m sure you’ll be happy to hear that my husband and I have separated and he no longer lives with me, there you have it, I hope you’re happy,” I finished and what scared me is the fact that when I uttered that specific information about Mathew and I, it felt so real, that this was our new reality now and that really scared me.

“Listen Orabelle what we're not going to do is to cut me off, if you dare to interrupt me one more time I swear you won’t like the outcome,” he answered annoyed

“As I was about to say before you rudely interrupted me, I think it’s time for a little reunion, I will send you the address and make sure you are there or else you will regret ever being born,” he and dropped the phone. Before even processing what just happened a notification popped up.

Meet me at ********* on Friday the 6th at 8am, be there or one of your loved ones will die and don’t you dare even think about going to the police because I know your next steps even before you do. BE WISE AND BE THERE.
Firstly that's a very awkward date and it's like weeks from now.

I literally felt like I was going to faint I couldn’t believe what just happened. Nalia the person whose seemed so genuine and caring was part of the plan all along. I tried to calm down because my throat started to close up and I could feel the floor under me begin to move so I quickly took a seat and laid down on my back looking straight at the ceiling.

At this point I’m really tired. I’m tired of crying and being sad all the time, I’m tired of keeping secrets and tired of being scared to even leave the house because I know someone is watching us, I’m tired of feeling guilty and I’m tired for my kids who are just innocently living and having no idea what in the world is going on.

After 30 minutes I successfully calmed down and I quickly put my shoes on and made my way to the car. After what I have just witnessed I needed to see my babies, I needed to hold my kids and tell them that everything is going to be okay even though they don’t understand anything yet.
