Rachel had been living with quiet fear ever since someone broke into her place. Every small sound around her made her flinch, every shadow moving outside her window made her anxious.
But she didn't want to ask Nicholas for help. She would never let him have that kind of control over her.
Instead, she decided to handle things herself.
A group of armed guards had been secretly hired by her, they were people who knew how to stay hidden out of sight. They secretly patrolled around her apartment at night, stayed out of sight in the corners of her office building during the day, and mixed into the city crowd when she and David went out.
Rachel had given them clear orders," stay hidden, but attack when needed."
Her worries were in fact right.
For three nights in a row, one of her guards had said the same thing, an unfamiliar man hanging around near her office after work.
