Chapter 47- Her Nightmare
“ What do you mean?" I asked as I got up from bed.
“ When I got back from work I met Ronny looking at something, he was about to hide it from me but I forcefully took it from him and it was a note similar to the one that was given to me with the flowers, when I asked him about it, he said he was at the mall when a kid brought the note to him, he thought the child was just messing around but when he opened the note he saw some shit, He asked the kid who sent him and he said a man asked him to bring it to him but they couldn't find the man,” She explained.
“ Who could be playing all these silly games with us?" I asked as I rubbed my face in frustration.
“ This isn't someone playing silly games with us, Hardin, what if there's actually someone out there that wants to cause us harm, look at this, the same period someone tried to kill you and then I and Ronny got a note then who's going to be next?” Vera asked.
“ Don't think too much about it, Vee," I said, trying to calm her down.
“ How can I not think too much about it? I don't want to ever go back there Hardin I don't,” I heard her voice break like she was going to cry.
" Vera, please don't cry, nothing is…" She ended the call before I could finish what I wanted to say. She was scared.
There was a past that we all wanted to keep behind us, I didn't like to go to that part of my mind. It was horrible to think of and I know Vera was scared of dealing with somethings like that again.
I tried calling her back but she wouldn't pick up, I knew she would be crying right now. I couldn't blame her, as a man I tried to bury the thought of everything that happened in that orphanage, whenever I tried to think about it I felt pain.
We didn't have the best life there and it took us some years to adjust. The torture in that place, I feel like that place was more of a torture house more than an orphanage.
I couldn't sleep with the news I just received and knowing that my best friend might be crying right now. I wanted to be back in Los Vegas as soon as possible, I needed to look into whoever was messing with us. If they were back I had to look for a way to protect my family.
They were all that I had.
I walked back to bed and climbed on it but I knew sleep would be far from me.
I woke up with a groan and the first thing I noticed was the banging of my head. I took a few shots last night when I couldn't sleep and now I was getting the aftermath of drinking.
I rubbed my head as I grudgingly got out of bed. I knew I was going to be moody today, I just hope and pray that that woman doesn't get on my nerves today because I know I wouldn't hold back.
I took a cold shower and when I was done I walked out of the bathroom to get dressed.
I picked a blue suit and a white dress shirt and then I got dressed as I wore my black leather shoes.
I was wearing my wristwatch when I heard my phone ringing. I walked to the phone as I took it and it was a call from my evil boss.
“Good morning Miss Miller," I greeted.
“ We're going to the beach. Since I couldn't hang out with the models last night I decided to go to the beach with them, so our flight would be tomorrow," she said.
She didn't bother waiting for my response; she just ended the call.
I didn't want to be here another minute, I had things to take care of in Las Vegas that didn't have anything to do with work but this woman decided that suddenly she wanted to go to the beach at the wrong fucking time.
Not like I had a choice.

ARIANA'S POV
I decided to go with the models to the beach so I asked for a van that would carry us all and right now sitting in the van with them I'm regretting my decision.
They were all acting like horny dogs, what did they see in that man that they won't stop looking at him? It just makes me want to laugh and at the same time it makes me angry and I want to hit their head on the wall so I could knock some sense into them.
The man they were looking at wasn't even looking at them, he must be feeling so highly of himself that he had all the girls attention on his disgusting face.
I wonder what got into his pants, he was quiet, not like I cared to hear his voice but I could tell something was wrong. Whatever, it's his life and I don't care what is happening in it.
When we reached the beach we all stepped out of the van ready to have a good time.
Everyone seemed excited to be here, well, except my assistant.
He set the blanket on the floor and placed my fruit basket and snacks for me as I sat down ready to sunbath.
I just watched as he went to stand at a corner looking straight ahead at the beach, was he considering running into it? That would be nice, at least fifty percent of my problem would be gone, uncle Garry was the other fifty.
I took my eyes off my assistant as I decided to enjoy myself instead. I had my eyes closed and my head thrown back in bliss as I enjoyed the sound of waves.
“ Well, well, look who we have here," My heart stopped, like literally.
I knew that voice, I could recognize it anywhere.
Not in a million years did I expect I would hear the voice again. I didn't want to believe he was really here so I refused to open my eyes, it's all a bad dream.
I must have fallen asleep while sunbathing.
“ Open your eyes," I heard his voice whisper as goosebumps rose on my skin and then I slowly opened my eyes and there he was.
My nightmare, my nightmare was staring down at me.
