THEO

“Are you okay?” I ask Grace the next morning.

“I don’t know the answer to that,” she sighs as she paces the kitchen.

“I get it. I’ve been where you are, so…I understand.”

“What do you mean that you’ve been where I am? You haven’t had a stalker before, have you?”

“Alexia, sort of. Not to the extent of Andrew, but similar.”

“What happened?”

I run a hand through my hair. We had discussed this briefly before but now, I should tell her all of it.

“I hosted a gala at my old home.

At the time, it was a big affair—lots of people were there. I wasn’t as strict about checking backgrounds back then.

This gorgeous woman introduced herself to me early in the night. She said she was my assistant Camille’s best friend.

I didn’t think anything of it. My staff used to invite friends and family to make the events bigger and boost publicity.”

“Making them use their social media or something?”

“Exactly.

Anyway, this woman’s ex-boyfriend showed up out of nowhere. They’d both been drinking, and things got heated fast.

They got into a really big argument—it turned physical.

I stepped in to protect her, because I was always taught you don’t hit a woman.

I told her she could go to my guest room, clean up, and calm down.”

I stop, and chuckles dryly at the irony of what I’m about to add.

“I even had an officer come in plain clothes to take her statement so she could press charges and file a restraining order.

Honestly, I forgot all about it.

The next morning, she came out of the guest room and told me the officer never showed up. She said she fell asleep and would leave right away.

I overheard her calling hotels and friends, trying to find a place to stay.

She told a friend that all the hotels were booked and she had nowhere to go.

She even tried calling an Uber—made a big show of how her debit and credit cards weren’t working.”

“But she was lying?”

“I didn’t know that then, of course, but yeah.

She was crying, saying her ex must’ve gone to the bank, pulled out all the money, and canceled her credit cards.

She told me she didn’t have anywhere to go, but she’d find someplace.

Said she wouldn’t put me out anymore.”

“Nice guilt trip,” she says with a sigh.

“Yeah. Camille is exceptionally reliable, so I thought Alexia would be safe. I told her she could stay until she figured something out. Each day there was a different sob story about why she couldn’t leave.”
