LAST HEART

XLV

Caleb noticed on his phone that one of his cameras was not working. It worried him since it was fine when he left and it was still relatively new to have broken. He called Amor but got no answer. So he excused himself from his friends and left the club. Speeding home. He got to the house and found everything was normal except the camera monitoring movement on the stairs was off.

' Hey¿! Hey¿! What's wrong?'

He quickly ran over to his wife who sat up in bed shaking from fright. He tried to get her to explain what was wrong but she was too shocked to speak so he instead stood up and looked around her bedroom. Opening every door but found nothing.

' He _he _ he_ left. '

She stuttered.

' Babe who left?'

He asked sitting next to her and pulled her under him and rubbed her back.

' I don't know but I felt him touch me. At first I thought it was a dream till I woke up to a cold wetness up my thigh and a shadow jumping out the window.'

Caleb stood and checked outside the window nearest to the flower and tree covered gazebo which had a structure that could be used as a ladder. He noticed that the shrubs near the window were broken as if somebody had stepped on them. He quickly ran out to the back where he noticed something sticking from the ladder.

' Did you see or find anything?'

Amor questioned when he returned from outside and she walked into the bedroom from taking a shower. Her thigh had a slimy substance which she discovered after calming herself but withheld it from her husband.

' There's nothing. Just trees.'

He lied while secretly shoving the watch he found in his pocket. Each kept their discoveries a secret as not to alarm the other while they themselves were alarmed. Caleb went to check on his children before joining her in bed.

' They are sleeping peacefully.'

' Shit I completely forgot to check on my kids.'

' It's okay you were in shock.'

' Yeah but they should have been my first thought.'

' Hey don't do that. You're a great mother and our children are fine. Don't beat yourself up about it.'

Caleb gave her a kiss on the forehead before they quietly lay in each other's arms. Each with their own thoughts.

' I was using your laptop earlier. House hunting and an email and message notification popped up...'

' You saw I never read all those message after the first one.'

' Why you never told me about her sending you such things.'

' Amor I don't care for Trina like that anymore and she will not accept it. So I will not give her anymore attention than I should. Just because the man she left me for wasn't who she thought he was and her marriage fell apart she thinks she can do the same to ours, nah. I'm happy with you and I don't want you worrying your pretty little head about her. I'll never leave home for anything.'

' Just to be comfortable can I delete and block her.'

' Tried that but she emails me from different handles but here.'

Caleb handed her his laptop and she went through all the emails and messages before deleting each and everyone of them and blocked her.
