| stop in my tracks when | see my car parked there. The setting sun hitting the
bonnet.
How?
My heartbeat quickens as | stare at it, swallowing hard.
How did he know where | lived?
Stalker.
Killer.
Mate.
| close my eyes, trying to calm my emotions as | storm over to the car, irritation rising through me.
“Well, looks like he took a liking to you to bring your car back too. That punk doesn’t do that for just anyone!”
The sold man who had recommended his
garage says.
“Oh, really?” | cock a brow, wishing I never listened to him, to begin with!
“Ay.”
Aiy my foot!
He scratches his beard wandering off and | resist growling in annoyance.
Where is the key?
| try the door but it’s locked and sighing | head inside, wondering if someone told him where | lived. | walk
upstairs, but if I'm expecting the key outside the door, I'm sorely mistaken.

Is he going to just hold on to it? Well, maybe that means he doesn’t know what apartment I'm in... Although
since he’s learned to talk now, he probably could have asked. Even if he doesn’t know... | bet he could easily
break into all the apartments...
The whirlwind of thoughts comes to a stop when | unlock the door, step inside. and stare at the ground where
the key is sitting on the floor.
He posted it.
Meaning he knows where | live.
My heart pounds as | glance around the apartment, knowing that he could get in if he wanted, just like
Sebastian's brother did once long ago when he tried to kill me. | shudder at the thought that my so-called mate
was from the steam as him.

Locking the door, | go around looking in all the places a person could possibly hide and making sure there is no
one here. Once I'm satisfied, | strip and head to shower, and that’s when | realise he hasn't mentioned anything
about how much I owe him and neither did I ask.
Great... do | go find him tomorrow?
Well, that is an issue for another day, because today | don’t want to think of him any longer!
Night has fallen and I'm feeling a lot more relaxed after snoodles and a movie. I'm out on the balcony with
my mug of coffee in my oversized tee. It's quite spacy out here and I think there’s enough space for a chair and
splants.
Hmm. Maybe I'll go shopping for one tomorrow.
It's peaceful out here...
| smile softly, watching the wind rustle in the trees when suddenly the adjoining apartment light switches on and
| turn, unable to stop myself despite the fact | shouldn't, and look through the glass window.
| freeze when | see the man step out of the steam that emits from the bathroom, in nothing but a towel that sits
low on his hips, revealing a very defined adonis belt. He has a towel over his head as he rubs his hair. A body
that is drop-dead perfect and one that I've seeing all too many times in the past.
