Shattered

Chapter 45

The man was inside the house again, my vision was blur as he was hiding in that same room which confused me. I thought I had fell asleep on the divan with Leo while Nathan continued to get back to work with the police and private investigator, my surroundings weren't in that part of the house but in a different room of the property watching the unidentify man scowering rapidly through the drawers of equipment and files in the work room. Closing drawers without a care after noticing that they all had a soft-close adapter that Nathan had installed when me and Leo were relaxing just in case Leo would get curious.

The drapes of the room were open making it easier for the man to see, his strong built made it easier to distinguish the gender. For some reason I had no control over my body whatsoever, every step that was taking me closer to the danger made me shutter in fear. Nothing could of stopped me from advancing towards him even when trying with all my strength to run.

I have learned my lesson, the words said by Nathan rang in my ears again, call for help. Pulling out my phone from my back pocket to dial his number, the screen had Nathan's number as one of my favourites and just needed one tap on the icon to start the call. My finger tapped it quickly waiting for my phone to ring. Nothing. I tapped it again, and again, and again. Why isn't it working? He said I should call for help, but if my cellular device wasn't working then it meant there was no help.

Looking up to the man so he wouldn't leave my sight scared me more becase he was charging straight for me which gave no time for my reflexes to kick in. The tall figure hit my stomach lifting me slightly of the ground and kept charging staright until I hit the glass table once again that was supposed to be broken.

I jolt up from my sleep with dampness slightly coating my skin, instant regret made me clutch my stomach. The pain from moving too quickly send signals of pain throughout the aching torso. It was good that I found myself still on the couch in Nathan's office with the only source of light coming fromm outside the window, the moon lit up the room enough for me to look around. The door of his office was closed making me feel more protected from the harm of what happened in the hallways of our house.

"It's just me Alina," Nathan says from behind me wrapping an arm lightly around me waist. "I didn't mean to scare you, I was just coming to sleep with you guys." The minty scent of his breath meant he just went to get ready for bed himself.

"I just felt like that man.. was here again." I whisper so Leo wouldnt wake up.

"Nobody is here in this house, it's just you, me and our little boy, I went to scope out the place myself. It's safe baby," he kisses my forehead.

Moving closer to cuddle into his warm chest where I normally felt at ease, Nathan soothingly stroked my back until I fell asleep.

Somebody's soft hands were felt on my face as a big figure was behind me with an arm draped over my side cuddling me. I already knew it was Nathan who was behind me, he probably stayed up late last night working on our things to make the process of things move a little quicker. The giggles from behind me were getting a little louder then the faint one in my dream, I even noticed the different weight on me, Nathan must of gotten me a blanket last night.

"Shhh, you're going to wake up your mom bud." I hear someone whisper with joy in their tone.

"Daddy, I want to sleep with you and mommy too." That little angelic voice gave away who was speaking from behind me until the couch dipped slightly in between me and Nathan and small warm hands were felt on my lower back.

Nathan clicks his tongue giving up, "you little mommy stealer."

"This isn't your mommy, mama said that GG is your mommy. My mommy," out of nowhere a hiss just like a cat came from him which made me giggle and roll over to my other side.
