Hey! I'm back!
I'm sorry, I'm late.
But as I promised, I'll be back.

Well, I have nothing to say.
Enjoy!

Natalie's P.O.V

A week later...

After One Direction had done their show, we all returned to our company. I haven't seen Perrie since the day she's sulking. But I don't care and I will never.

While I was on my duty, Zayn called me to see him.

"Zayn?" I walked into a room where Zayn is.

I saw him standing in front of a desk with a box on it.

"Come in, Nat." he smirked.

I walked towards him.

"Is this the package that Nathan left for me?"

"Yes, this is it."

"Thank you, Zayn." I kissed him on the cheek.

"Sure. Now let's open it."

I opened the package slowly. There was a ring box, a necklace and a piece of letter inside. I took the letter and slowly open it.

''Dear Natalie,

I'm sorry for shocking you like this. I know you're mad at me. I guess I deserved it. But I want you to know I'm doing this because I want to protect you. I had to do all this. Actually I've noticed there's a person spying on you, but I couldn't catch her."

Her?

Oh yes, she's a girl.

"I found something that she accidentally dropped while I was chasing her. It was in the ring box."

I quickly grabbed the ring box and opened it.

Earring.

Just one earring.

That means, she keeps the other one.

But who has it?

It looks expensive.

"What is it?"

"Earring." I passed it to Zayn.

"It looks familiar, but who has this earring?"

"I don't know. Read this." I gave him the letter and he immediately read it.

"What?!" he shouted.

"Yes. Someone was spying on me. Nathan noticed it, but he never told me anything." I took the letter back and continued reading it.

"I hope the evidence I have found will help you resolve this case. I'm sorry again for doing this to you. I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you so much, Natalie. I'm willing to die for you.
