Chapter 48~ A cruise date

“Did you guys notice anything? Are you doing your jobs correctly? Tessa said she was being followed. How come you couldn’t detect the danger around her?” Aaron snapped at his

bodyguards.

Tessa grabbed his arm and stopped him, saying, “Don’t be so hard on them. Whoever is sending those messages is good at staying hidden.”

It had been a few days since Tessa started receiving texts from the restricted number. At first, she thought it was one of Aaron’s admirers who somehow got a hold of her number and began to text

her to scare her.

She thought it was just a crazy fan making some pranks on her, so she had ignored it.

However, it became too much and that’s how she knew it wasn’t a prank. She constantly felt like she was being watched. The text she received after she knocked off from work that day made alarm bells go off in her head.

It read,

[I heard you have three kids. It will destroy you if something happens to them, right?]

The text made her stomach twist and turn. She couldn’t keep quiet about it any longer and showed Aaron the messages she had been receiving. He became livid and began to scold Tessa’s bodyguards, thinking they weren’t doing a good job.

They were in the hallway outside Tessa’s house because they didn’t want to worry Elena.

“No. I’m still blaming them. Their job is to ensure your safety but they failed. Josh, Andrew, you

two are my best men. What happened?” Aaron said and directed his last question to the two

bodyguards.

“We didn’t notice anything, Sir. We were not careful enough. I’ll have the team do a thorough investigation,” Josh answered.

Aaron pinched the bridge of his nose. He glanced at Tessa and sighed, presenting, “I’ll give the inspector a call. The police have to be involved in this matter as well. We need all the help we can get.”

“Who would do this though?” Tessa asked.

It was strange that an enemy would pop out of nowhere and target her. Was it someone she knew?

“I have no idea. Probably my business rivals. I have a lot of enemies, Tessa. This is why I wanted you and the kids to move in with me. I can only be at peace if I know you are safe,” Aaron replied with furrowed eyebrows.

He lacked his brain to try and figure out which one of his enemies would do such a thing but he came up with blanks. The only ones that he knew were either in jail, presumably dead or out of the Country.

Tessa sighed. She glanced at Aaron and uttered, “I’m not ready to move in with you, Aaron. We already discussed this ”

Aaron ran a hand through his hair. He pulled at his tie, feeling frustrated and then his eyes landed on the door of the apartment next to Tessa’s.
