Chapter 36

Hannah

I’m restless, and I don’t know why. Tobias hasn’t answered his phone for two days. I know he is busy. And yes, I know we are in different time zones, but I can’t help but worry.

Did something happen to him?

I have this terrible feeling in my gut. It churns and feels like a growing hole, making it impossible to relax. Why won’t my husband answer his phone?! I want to tell him the good. news, goddamn it!

My eyes water.

Tobias, I’m pregnant.

We will have twins.

My hand travels to my stomach in the night. I’m happy but also afraid of the darkness enveloping me. It was a mistake to pick this room. I’m sleeping on the top floor, alone without. a nightlight on.

It’s scary.

I wish Tobias was here…

Without him by my side, every sound got my heart pounding fast. Ugh. I should have put at light on before I went to bed! I’m afraid of the dark. Though, when I fell asleep, the sun was shining.

But it’s not anymore, and I’m not asleep.

My head is spinning too fast, but I know there is no point in staying awake. If I fall asleep, maybe Tobias will have responded to my messages by the time I wake up?

I try to close my eyes and fall asleep by force, but then I hear something shatter downstairs. It sounds like glass, and I bolt upright, eyes wide and my heart drumming too fast.

Is it a robber?!

I listen in silence and hear footsteps going up the stairs. Are they heading over here? Damn it! Why did I let the butlers take a day off to have an after-work?! That was such a big mistake!

My eyes dart around the room. I can’t see anything in the darkness and decide the best defense. is to hide under the blanket when I hear the door open to the bedroom.

They are here!
