The First One...

Chapter 35

"What is it Sam?" Ben asked confused.

"This photo!! Ben look who is in the background." i pointed at the photo. Ben was surprised to see the person. He zoomed the pic.

"You are right...It's Mike!!! How is he there? Does he know Mr. Ray or does he know Amber? I need to inform Charles. Let's just check out all the pictures and then i will call him." he suggested.

We went through all the pictures. We got some more pics of Mike, in one he was talking to Mr. Ray and some others with few men whom Ben acknowledged as businessmen . He informed Charles about it.

"What did he say?"

"He said that he had found some personal information about Mr. Ray. He is going to meet us tomorrow evening."

"Okay..that's good." i said rubbing my forehead.

"What's wrong?"

"Nothing just bit headache. This all is just a lot to take in."

"I know babe..and i'm sorry you have to go through this."

"Shh..shh..Ben..it's okay. Everything will be okay.." i assured him. He smiled and gave me a small peck.

Day seemed like too long...we have meeting with Charles in few hours now. I'm just so curious to meet him. Hope we could find some solution.

Ben was busy today but he promised he would have lunch with me and he did. We had our time together after what felt like a long time.

Ben would call anytime now. It's almost time to leave.
I decided to packup and get ready. My phone buzzed and i saw there was a message from unknown number. I opened it and read.

'Samantha,

You will regret your past...but...you will be mine..soon...
Love you baby.

Your secret admirer..'

I looked at the message shocked. I felt as if my legs have gone weak. I took support of my table and sat on the nearest chair. I noticed i was sweating.

"Hey Sam..." Ben entered my office and looked at me.

"Ben..." i whispered.

His smile faded ss he noticed my state and ran towards me...

"Sam..what's wrong? You are looking so pale...what's wrong babe.. Are you okay?" he asked giving me water.

"Look at this.." i handed him my phone. He took it and looked at me surprised.

"Is this the same number from whom you got message yesterday?" he asked.

"I haven't checked."

"Let me see...umm..Yeah..it's the same." he said sighing.

"What does this mean Ben? Is this person related to Amber? I think there is some connection."

"Don't stress upon it Sam...we will talk about this with Charles. Let's leave now."

After two hours...

"Sam..meet Charles Mathews. Charles.. this is my fiance Samantha Collins." Ben introduced us.

"Please to meet you Ms. Samantha." Charles greeted smiling. He was tall dark and all black haired. Looked like he was in his mid thirty's. He had a tough body like a soldier.

"Same here Mr. Mathews."

"Call me Charles please." he said. We nodded acknowledging.

"So...you both must have gone through the data i have emailed Mr. Sawyer. I have known that there is a possibility of Mr. Mike been involved. I would like to know about everything from both of you please. Maybe i could pick up few points. Besides i have a very important information which i would like to tell you after we are done. So shall we start with Ms. Samantha?"
