The Love Triangle (Book 1)

Chapter 16

Jason p.o.v

Now that I have Gerald dead, I don't have to worry about him anymore. I look over and I see Ash cuddled up on one side of the couch watching TV. I cuddle up next to her and she buries her face in my chest.

"Are you okay princess?" I ask her.

"Yeah Jay. Can you make me something to eat?" She says quietly.

"Anything for you my princess." I say as I walk toward the kitchen.

I open my pantry and I grab some uncooked noodles and some spaghetti sauce. I grab a pot and I fill it up with water. I put the noodles in the pot and I open the jar of spaghetti sauce. Ash comes over from the couch and sits at the bar. I finish cooking the noodles and I pour a little bit of spaghetti sauce on it.

"Cheese or no?" I ask her.

"Of course Jay I want cheese!" She yells jokingly.

I pour a little bit of cheese on the plate and I give it to her. I plant a small kiss on her cheek and I go upstairs and take a shower.

Ashley p.o.v

As I'm eating, my phone goes off. I open it and it is a text message from an unknown person.

Unknown ID: You better watch your back H because I am always watching.  -Unknown

Ashley: Who the fuck is this?

Unknown ID: Someone of your past.

Ashley: Why the hell are you so mad at me?

Unknown ID: You left me.

Ashley: Okay, get over it.

Unknown ID: I will... when you're dead..

Maximus p.o.v

As I pull into Jason's driveway, I notice that one of Jason's cars is missing and the front door is locked. I go to the backyard and notice that something is not right.

I look around and I see someone in the backyard asleep in the hammock. It's 5 in the morning so Jason probably left for work. I see the fence door and I open it. It squeaks a lot so I try my best not to wake them up. Once I'm in the backyard, I open the screen door to the house. I look around first to make sure the coast is clear. I enter the house and I see Ash's phone. I open it and I go through the text messages between her and Jason.

Jason: Hey princess, u alright?

Ashley: Yes baby, I'm fine.

Jason: How is ur back feeling?

Ashley: Much better.

Jason: I have to be honest with u.

Ashley: What?

Jason: I have a feeling that Gerald might still be alive.

Ashley: Why do u have that feeling?

Jason: idk

Ashley: Jason...

Jason: Yes princess?

Ashley: Are you upstairs?

Jason: No, I'm at work, why?

Ashley: Someone is upstairs.

Jason: That might be Chaz or Max.

Ashley: Chaz is in Mexico and Max has the day off.

Jason: Well grab my gun from the table and look upstairs.

Ashley: Okay....

Jason: Is everything alright?

Ashley: I don't see anything.

Jason: It's probably in your head. Go downstairs and get some rest.

Ashley: oh my god...

Jason: What?!

Ashley: I think I see Gerald.

Jason: No fucking way...he's dead.

Ashley: He coming closer!!

Jason: ASH GET THE FUCK AWAY FROM HIM!!!

Ashley: He has a hold of me and I can't go anywhere!!

Jason: HOLD ON ASH!!

Jason: ARE YOU OKAY!!??!!

Jason: ANSWER ME!!!

                                               Ashley Frangipane went offline.

"Shit." I mumble.

"Who are you?" A female voice asks.

I turn my head around and I see Emma, Justin's ex girlfriend.

"I'm one of Jason's bodyguards." I say quietly.

"How should I believe you?" She says rudely.

"How the fuck am I supposed to know you are allowed to be here?" I reply.

"I can't find Justin. I want him back." She says all whiny.

"Justin moved on. Get the fuck out of here!" I yell.

"Fine." She mumbles.

She turns away and walks out of the house. I immediately rush upstairs to look for evidence. As I'm looking, I find multiple blood stains and a note. I don't touch anything and I take a picture of everything and send it to Jason. I carefully pick up the note that was left and I read it. It reads:

One, two, I'm coming for you

Three, four, should've locked your door

Five, six, better find her quick

Seven, eight, before it's too late

Nine, ten, we'll do this the hard way then....
