Chapter 0230

I've been obsessing for the last few days over the note. I just wanted to nail whoever this person is so

I hated that I was now jumpy and scared all the damn time. Noah has even noticed that I haven't been myself. Every time he asks, I just tell him that I am okay when I am clearly not.

My life was so simple back when I was married to Rowan as compared to now. The only thing I worried about was whether or not he would come for dinner or if he would ever love me. I know I used to be in co I haven't had a moment of peace since I divorced Rowan. An attempt on my life

was made three times. My car was blown up, my house burned down, and I was kidnapped twice. After I agreed to Reaper being in my life, I thought that things would settle down, but no... Now someone was "Mom, can I go over at Gunner's?" Noah asks, scaring the crap out of me.

I try to calm my heart down. See what I mean when I say I'm jumpy?

He looks at me funny, but I ignore it and force my lips into a semblance of a smile.

"Sure, use the back door, though, okay?"

He nods his head, and I stand up. I wanted to make sure that he crossed over to Calvin's side safely and that he got inside his house.

"Today we are going to play games. Last time I won, this time Gunner hopes that he wins," he tells me as we walk.

"That's good"

I haven't seen Calvin since that day in my kitchen. He has been avoiding me as much as he can. I'm not sure if it's because he's embarrassed or because he was hurt by my rejection. Maybe it is both. Anyway, I've been giving him space because I didn't want things to be even more awkward than they already were.

"See you later, mom, Noah says as he crosses over to Cal's.

After I've made sure he is in their house, I turn back and head into ours.

get Inside, and not even a minute later, there is a knock on my door. I approach it with trepidation. I was hoping it wasn't another note.

I open the door and find Rowan. Fuck. I'd forgotten that we were supposed to talk. With everything tha

has happened, the talk was the least of my worries.

"Hey," he asks, shoving his hands inside his pocket.

He looked really nervous. Again, this was something I wasn't used to when it came to him.

"Come in," I tell him while scanning the area.

The last thing I needed was a note arriving while he was here with me.

He gives me a look.

"What?" I ask.

"I thought you would put up a fight."

"Do you want to come in or not?" I ask in irritation.

He gives me one last look before he enters my house. Without waiting too long. I close the door afraid

that someone is watching me.

I've become so paranoid over the past few days that sometimes it terrifies me. The sooner we deal with this issue the better for my mental state.

I take a seat in my recliner. I bought it a few weeks ago because it helped relieve my back pain. I even had to change my mattress because it made my back pain worse.

"So, what did you want to talk to me about?" I stare into his eyes. "It sounded pretty important. Is it about

Noah?"

He takes a deep breath before releasing. "No. It's about us."

I stare at him, confused, wondering if he had truly lost his mind. What the hell was he even talking about, for goodness sake?

"There is no us, Rowan. You seem to be forgetting that a lot lately."

I didn't want to do this with him. Not when I had so much going on.

"Just listen to me, please," he pleads, his voice soft.

Something about the desperation in his voice stops me. I don't know what it is, but I don't want to put too much thought Into It. Instead, I shut my mouth and focus on him.

He doesn't talk for a while nich

"I love you," he finally says.

My mouth drops open, and I gape at him like a fish out of water. He wasn't seated that far from me, so reach out and feel his forehead for a fever.

"Are you high? Running a fever? Or maybe I just didn't hear you, right"
