Chapter 11

Walking into his office Friday morning, I see he’s in deep thought over a piece of paper on his desk top. His hands are fisted in his hair and his look is agitated. “You’re going to bald in a year if you keep yanking at it that way.” I say playfully trying to lighten his mood. “Then I won’t have anything to hang on to while you are buried inside me.” I add as a whisper in his ear and give him a quick kiss on the cheek. He pulls me into his lap and buries his face in my hair.

“God, Lauren you know you are my everything right. Tell me you know how much I love you sweetheart.”

“Ian, you love me but not as much as I love you.” His face is pale and worry creases his brow. “What’s wrong?” He picks up the paper and hands it to me. My face pales as I read the words.

How can you possibly think you are good enough for him? You are nothing but a gold digging whore and he will see you for what you are before I am finished with you. We belong together and you will not stand in our way. I suggest you pack your things and leave immediately. I would hate for you to have another accident because I can guarantee that you will not recover from the next one. I guess maybe I have not been clear so let me spell it out for you. LEAVE IAN ALONE BITCH!

The letter flutters to the floor as the sob escapes my chest. I can’t read any more. Toward the end of my time in the hospital, she left a letter for me very similar to this one but I hadn’t heard anything from her since. I almost forgot about it, things have been so quiet. I thought since she hadn’t contacted me, she was going to leave us alone. But here it is in black and white; Rebecca is still out there and still sees me as the only obstacle to her relationship with Ian.

“Shh sweetheart. I debated even showing it to you but knew I couldn’t keep it from you.” Double shit. This day is just getting better. Composing myself as much as possible, I look into Ian’s blue pools.

“Ian, please don’t be mad but this is not the first letter she has sent. I received one in the hospital. With everything that happened it slipped my mind. I wasn’t purposefully keeping it from you. Please you have to believe me.” With the last words, I break again. I don’t want him to feel like I would ever keep anything from him again but now I have gone and made a stupid mistake. He’ll never be able to trust me and at this rate, I’m not sure I can trust myself.

“Fuck Lauren.” He yells and my body jumps at the anger in his voice. He must feel my reaction because his arms grow tighter around me.
