Jaine

      I remained silent on my way home with Walden. As promised, he had come to pick me up when my classes ended. Kevin remained on my mind the whole day.

Notes started arriving when he came here. Moreover, he has the exact same green eyes as that of my stalker. Other thing eating my mind being, was it just a coincidence that he ran into me on his first day here or was it preplanned?

"What's on your mind?" I heard Walden ask me.

We were going to visit Cade Black today but since he wasn't discharged from ICU, we couldn't. Poor man had sustained so many injuries that he wasn't leaving the hospital anytime soon now.

"I'll tell you when we reach home. Have they interrogated him yet?" I asked referring to the man who helped pretended to be my stalker to lead Walden away from me.

"Why don't we go meet them first?" He asked "They will tell us everything we need to know."

We headed to the police station. Officer James Elroy sat in front of us with a grimace on his face. "No matter how much we force him or try anything, he wouldn't open his mouth. The bastard is very loyal to the stalker."

My face fell when I heard that and I looked at Walden. His fists were balled at his side. After a moment of silence I spoke

"Can I meet him?"

Both of them snapped their heads towards me as if I'm stupid. "Why do you want to meet him, Jaine?"

"He isn't opening his mouth and I can't endure this anymore. I would request him even if it's the last thing I have to do" I said to him and he shook his head.

"But, love you don't understand-"

"Wald, please. No harm is going to come my way if I meet him. He is already behind the bars. He can't hurt me" I said to him and he fell silent. I turned my head to officer Elroy "Can I see him?"

"Yes, you can" he got up and asked me to follow him.

Before I could follow him Walden caught my hand "I'll come with you." I gave him a small smile in return.

We stopped in front of gates and Mr. Elroy looked at us "Just don't get your hopes up." He then opened the door telling us that a police man will stay there with us and we only have ten minutes.

Me & Walden walked inside hand-in-hand and we saw a man sitting on a chair with his hands tied together. A police man stood in a corner for ensuring our safety. I gasped when the man tuned his head towards us. His face was all bloodied and beaten up.

Purple marks adored his body and he had a bloodied lip. He must be one tough and loyal man to not open his mouth after having gone through this much.

He smirked at me when he looked in my eyes and I felt Walden's hand tighten on mine.

"Jaine Kimberley Connagh" He said and my eyes widened. He knows my maiden name. He continued "Born to Andrew Marc Connagh and Stacey Marie Connagh on 12th of January, 1995. You have two older twin siblings named Hunter and Hailey who are thirty years old, seven years older than you."

Me and Walden looked at each other shocked. Then, his eyes went to Walden "Walden York Austen. Born on 5th of March, 1989 to Philip Theodore Austen and Maria Olivia Austen. You have a little sister named Avaline who is three years younger than you."

He smiled mischievously seeing our shocked faces "He knows everything about you both and let me tell you, he won't stop until he gets what he wants."

I stepped towards him "Why are you doing this? What are you getting out of this? Don't you have a family? Don't you have a sister or a mother?" I felt my anger making it's presence.

He looked bored "Don't give me this shit now. I couldn't care any less because you are right, I don't have a family."

"So? Just because you don't have one doesn't means you can just go and ruin everybody else's!" I yelled at him.

He had the audacity to smile this time "Feisty, boss doesn't know that his princess is a bomb of anger in disguise."

"I don't understand" I continued "This lunatic boss of yours! What are you getting in return? What are you getting after being beaten up? You know right that you are going to get locked behind the bars? Why being so loyal then?"

I narrowed my eyes at him "What if you do have a family? Is he blackmailing you? You know, all you have to do is tell us and we can help you-"

"No" he cut me off "You are wasting my time" he said nonchalantly.

I closed my eyes in frustration.

"Your time is up" I heard the man standing at the back say. Me and Walden started to make our way out of the room but, a voice stopped us "You won't be able to get rid of him. Until then, take care, Princess."

"He didn't tell you anything, did he?" Mr. Elroy asked as soon as he saw us.

Walden was quiet. I knew he was shocked and angry just like me. "What about Cade? How is he doing?"

"He isn't doing great" said Detective Arthur as he entered the office "I'm just coming back from the hospital. The doctors aren't sure if he's going to make it."

I felt my heart drop in my chest.

Walden squeezed my hand and I squeezed his back. "There are no chances of his survival?" He asked.

"Twenty percent. Let's just hope the odds turn out in his favour and he survives" Detective Arthur said.

"Let's go home, love" Walden said as he got up and I followed him.

"Inform us if you find anything" he said to officer Elroy and he nodded. We both were silent in car until he broke it "What were you worried about earlier?"

"I suspect someone" I said and Walden stopped the car. "What?! And, you didn't tell it to the police-"

"Calm down, Wald. Hear me out first."

He nodded and started driving again. "My suspect is Kevin." I told him everything about why I suspect Kevin to be the stalker.

"I can't give his name to police just like that. What if I'm wrong? We don't even have a solid evidence or a clue. These could just be mere coincidences" I said to him and he nodded.

"You are right."

We reached home and entered inside and I went upstairs to change my clothes. I felt my breath caught in my throat when I came out of the bathroom.

A/N: Another cliffhanger.

Don't kill me.
