Leah Williamson love story

Chapter 67

Author*

I'm back bitches!!

So sorry to have taken this long but I needed a break. I've read and re-read every chapter of both books and been doing some thinking on how I want each story to go. So forgive me if this chapter isn't great i am just getting back into the swing of it again.

Leah p.o.v

I arrive at mums with Ollie, the car ride was silent, mum hasn't so much as looked my way since this all happened. When Ollie is out the car and settled in his bouncy I go to the kitchen to speak to mum.

"Can we talk?" I ask. Knowing she's obviously not in the best frame of mind right now either considering she's not stopped crying.
"Yes bubs, sit down." I take a seat across from her and place the baby monitor facing me so I can still keep an eye on Ollie. Mum looks into the monitor and the tears pool again.
"Mum you're scaring me." The thoughts running through my mind right now is unbearable. I've messaged Riley at least half a dozen times and she's not once replied. She hasn't asked how our son is. She has completely ignored me. Now mums looking at Ollie and getting upset. None of this sounds good and I honestly just want to know.

"You remember Riley's last concert? The one we all went to?" Mum asks, still watching her grandson on the monitor.
"Yeah of course I do." What does any of this have to do with that?
"You asked me if I'd seen a ghost?" I nod. Aware of what happened that night.
"I'd seen a man in the crowd. Watching us. He looked rough Leah. Not someone you'd expect to be at a 'cooper' concert. Then, when we went out for lunch the next day, the very same man was outside the bathroom when I came out. He knew a lot about us, threatened our family if I didn't give him Riley. Obviously I didn't but he brought up Ollie and I immediately knew I had to tell Riley, if I didn't and something happened..." mum stops herself finishing her sentence before bursting into tears again.
"So some random man has been following Riley about? Mum we get threats and stuff all the time. He's probably just someone that's obsessed with her." I say, it wouldn't be the first time we've had this kind of thing happen. We are known, we are 'celebrities' people obsess very easily.

Mum shakes her head before sighing.
"I told Riley on our way back here. She asked me to describe him so I did. Then she turned the car around and raced back to your house. She kept saying she was so stupid and she should never of put you and Ollie in this position.  She looked terrified." My heart sinks a little. What is going on and what is my wife about to do?

Riley p.o.v

I go back to my old house and up to the attic. I grab the box that I thought I'd never touch again and make my way back to the living room. I empty everything out hoping what I'm looking for is still in here. I find the piece of paper I need and dial the number on the back.

"Hello Riley. I'd hoped to never hear from you again." I close my eyes as I hear wills voice.
"I'm sorry will, I really didn't think I'd ever need you again, but he's back and I can't let it happen again." I hear him shuffling around a little before he speaks again.
"What contact have you had, when did you have it and what does he want?" I hear his keyboard clicking as he asks.
"I didn't have any contact with him, it was Leah's mum. Uh, sorry my wife's mum." I say as if he'd know who I mean just by saying Leah.
"I know who Leah is, I also know who Amanda is." He replies back with a slight laugh.
"You really are a good detective aren't you?" I say making him laugh again.
"I do try. Okay, so Amanda was the one he approached. What did he say and where?"
To be honest I barely know what happened but I give as much detail as Amanda gave me and hope it helps in some way. He continues typing away before I hear him making another phone call.
"Hello, this is detective wright, I have 'Romeo, Charlie' needing assistance. I need all available units on stand by. Await further instructions."
"Copy that. Stand by" I can hear through the speaker.
I cant believe I am back to this.
"Riley, where is your wife and son?" Will asks me and my heart hurts thinking about it.
"At Amanda's, need the address?" I ask knowing full well he doesn't.
"Really?" He says jokingly.
I just laugh.
"They will have officers outside the property in the next ten minutes. I've also sent a couple to miss meads family home as I'm aware Beth and Vivianne live with you both but are with Beth's family right now and I'd rather cover all bases on where he thinks you may be."
I thank him, I need to know they will be safe and I know he won't be able to get to them.
"He has most likely been following me about so I think he knows I'm here." Just as I say that I hear a bang come from the conservatory.
"He's here." I whisper. Will confirms that him and officers are on their way to me but I know by the time they get here he could have me held hostage so I have to make sure I don't let myself become his victim again.
I'm not afraid anymore.
