Obsessed 2

Chapter 14

Sharon's mind raced as she tried to piece together the implications. Lisa—no, Samantha—hadn't been dormant; she had been watching, waiting for the perfect opportunity to reinsert herself into their lives. The fact that she had chosen to reappear now, just as Sharon was beginning to rebuild her life, was no coincidence. It was calculated, deliberate.
"What do we do now?" Sharon asked, her voice filled with determination. "We can't let her get away with this."
"I agree," Y/N said, leaning in closer. "I think the first step is to take this information to the police. If we can show them that Samantha and Lisa are the same person, they'll have more grounds to investigate her. We can't let her slip through the cracks again."
Sharon nodded, her resolve solidifying. "I'll talk to the detective handling the case tomorrow. We need to make sure they understand just how dangerous she is."
Y/N reached across the table, placing her hand over Sharon's. "We're in this together, Sharon. Whatever happens next, I'm not going anywhere."
Sharon looked into Y/N's eyes, finding comfort in the unwavering support she saw there. She had spent so long dealing with her fears alone, but now, with Y/N by her side, she felt stronger—more capable of facing the challenges ahead.
"Thank you," Sharon said softly, squeezing Y/N's hand. "I'm so glad you're here."
"I'm glad, too," Y/N replied with a gentle smile. "Now, let's get to work. We've got a lot to prepare for."
They spent the next hour strategizing, discussing potential scenarios and how they would respond. Y/N shared more details from her research, including information about the towns where Samantha had lived and the people she had interacted with. It was clear that Samantha had been careful to cover her tracks, but there were still traces of her that could be followed—leads that the police could use to track her down.
As the evening wore on, the weight of the situation began to settle in Sharon's chest. She knew that the road ahead would be difficult, that there would be moments of fear and doubt. But she also knew that she wasn't alone in this fight. With Y/N by her side, she felt a renewed sense of purpose, a determination to protect her family and finally put an end to the nightmare that had haunted her for so long.
By the time they left the café, the sky had darkened, and the streets were illuminated by the soft glow of streetlights. Sharon and Y/N walked side by side to their cars, the cool night air brushing against their skin.
"Let me know if you need anything," Y/N said as they reached Sharon's car. "I'm just a phone call away."
"I will," Sharon promised. "Thank you, Y/N. For everything."
Y/N smiled, a warm, genuine expression that made Sharon's heart flutter. "We'll get through this, Sharon. Together."
With one last nod, Sharon got into her car and watched as Y/N walked to hers. She felt a strange sense of calm as she drove home, the tension that had gripped her earlier in the day slowly fading away. There was still so much to do, so much uncertainty ahead, but Sharon no longer felt overwhelmed by it. Instead, she felt ready—ready to take on whatever came next.
As she pulled into her driveway and walked up to the front door, Sharon paused for a moment, looking up at the stars scattered across the night sky. She thought of Kyle, Derek, and Y/N—all the people who mattered most to her. They were her strength, her reason for fighting.
Sharon took a deep breath, steeling herself for the battles ahead. She had survived Lisa once before, and she would do it again. This time, however, she wasn't just surviving—she was going to win.
With that thought in mind, Sharon walked into her house, closing the door behind her with a quiet but resolute determination. The storm was coming, but Sharon was ready. She would protect her family, she would protect herself, and she would finally put an end to the darkness that had lingered in her life for far too long.
The fight wasn't over, but Sharon knew one thing for certain: she was stronger than she had ever been, and this time, she wasn't going to let fear win.
