I could hear the sound of my heart as it thud in my chest as I stared at the pictures in front of me.

How was it even possible?

She was supposed to be safe there, they weren't old pictures, then how could anyone get a hold of these in a place I consider safe.

There were about five pictures of her, she was having coffee, the other one was of her and Anna talking and then a picture of her alone watching TV.

There was a text that followed the pictures it read.

‘ She's doing fine, we're watching over her.’

What the hell was I still doing here?

I stood up from my chair as I quickly dashed out of the office. I walked into the elevator and pressed the button for the ground floor. I was anxious, what if something had happened to her?

Who could have taken these pictures? Whoever took these pictures must have been to my house or must still be in my house.

I brought out my phone as I dialed her number waiting for her to pick up. I've never been so impatient to be somewhere as I was at the moment, and why the hell was the elevator so slow and she wasn't picking up.

I felt like hitting something.

“ Come on," I groaned as I tapped my foot impatiently.

“ Hey baby, missing me already," I breathed in relief, she was doing okay.

“ Where are you right now?” I asked.

" Where else would I be? At home of course,” She said, totally unaware of the terror that was going on in my body.

" Have you noticed anything out of the ordinary today?” I asked as the elevator finally reached the ground floor and I quickly walked out.

“ Sir, there's a…”

" Not now Anita,” I said, stopping whatever my manager was about to say as I walked out of the company.

“ No, why?” She asked.

" You're in our room right?" I asked.

“ Yes,"

“ Good, stay there, just stay on the line with me, I'll be home soon," I said.

I got into my car and sped off heading home. What did I miss? The security in my house was tight then how could anyone have been able to get those pictures?

I felt like my head was going to burst.

When I finally got home, I parked my car and rushed into the house. I climbed the stairs and ran to our room.

I opened the door and she was on the bed busy with her phone.

“ Baby why do you look like you've seen a ghost?" She asked as I rushed to her and pulled her into my arms.

“ You're doing okay," I said as I kissed her neck breathing into her scent.

“ What's wrong?" She asked as I pulled away looking into her eyes. God if anything were to ever happen to this woman I'll go crazy because I don't think I want a life where she's not there. She's my life.

“ Someone sent me something, I don't know who but they were pictures of you here in the house," I said and her eyes instantly filled with panic, the last thing I wanted to see in the eyes of a woman I promised to protect.

“ What?! How's that possible? That's not supposed to be possible here,"

" Exactly my thought, everything is just driving me crazy,”

" I'm sorry, I'm drag…"

“ Don't even complete that, you're my responsibility and your burden is my burden, so don't you ever be sorry for anything," I said.

I pulled her to me as I hugged her.

" Everything is going to be okay,” I said and her hands tightened around me.

When I pulled away from her I brought out my phone to do what was necessary.

“ Leonardo, get everyone in the security team to my office right now,” I said before ending the call.

I carried Katherine as I walked out of the room, I climbed down the stairs and headed to my office.

They were already waiting for me when I got there.

I kept Katherine on my office chair as I stood behind her looking at them.

“ It seems you've all been sleeping on your job," I said.

They all looked at each other wondering what I was talking about.

“ Pictures of my girlfriend and sister were sent to me with a threat message and it was taken by someone who managed to enter this house while I had security, care to explain, or wait, just what if I have traitors under my roof?"

" I'm giving you all before the end of today, find something or someone who was responsible for sending those pictures, if you can't then get ready to tender your resignation,” I said.

I wasn't joking, the most important person in my life was in danger and I pay them enough money to do their jobs but they don't do it, it therefore means they should be changed.

They quickly rushed out of the room, ready to do what I asked them to do.

“ My love, I'll have to take you to my other mansion, it seems you're no longer safe here, I don't even know who to trust anymore, and the last thing I want is to leave you exposed to danger,”

“ Thank you, thank you for doing so much for me," She said as she kissed me and I kissed her back.

“ One more thing before I forget,” I said as I dialed my sister's number.

“ Fire your Italian chef,"
