Well, good news, the guys were actually listening to me when I spoke, that’s one relationship box ticked, now I just had to pray I could tick the ‘not a murderer’ one

“Yeah,” I responded to Cade, hating the way I was glancing around the room for items I could use to protect myself if I needed to I loved hi to hurt roo in a little over her head”

“Do you need Oliver or I to check anyone out?” Cade asked

It was an incredibly sweet sentiment, but all I could think about was how easily those powers could be used to exploit h cookie I think I’ overprotective”

“That’s in your nature,” Cade responded He placed a finger under ave me a kiss on the lips “It’ll be okay, and re Any friend of yours is so to look out for”

I smiled How could Cade or any of the other men be killers? They couldn’t be “Thank you”

Talking with Cade calmed me down To even think that the men were the kind of eous They didn’t have an evil bone aet a ht of sleep, at least that was the plan until I got home and saw there was another envelope on my door It wasn’t certified mail the second time around, it was actually taped toand had even come up to my door

Heart racing, I ripped the envelope down and rushed inside I locked my door, shut and locked all ofI had that had a came a heart attack

I didn’t take the care of using a knife, and ripped open the envelope withso wildly I could barely hold it The top sheet was another blank page with only a single typed line, similar to the last one

‘I hOpE yOu HaVe YoUr AfFaIrS iN oRdEr’
