Katrina had been in their house for a week, too scared to go out on her own. Her daughter, Clarence, also didn't want to leave her mother, not even going to her room. Maria was also especially alert as she kept checking on every door locks and windows, even with Kylan present.
Her father had called numerous times, checking on them regularly. The news about Katrina's stalker was also all over the media and people, especially their fans, were watching out for them like hawks.
With Katrina's pregnancy that became so fragile and vulnerable because of the incidents, she was adviced to stay at home and bed rest. No strenuous activities, not even intimate moments with Kylan. If she doesn't improve, she will have to undergo a C-section. And so, Katrina was relieved from both her duties from the bakery and at home.
The whole family was tensed for a week, unable to work comfortably as they knew that the killer was out there, waiting for a moment to strike.
Katrina sat in the living room with Clarence and Theo, their big, curious eyes, looking at her as they listened to the storybook Katrina had been reading aloud. Nearby, sat in the dining room, discussing something with Vanessa, Officer Garrett Hale, and Ryan, their voices low but serious. Though she couldn’t make out their words, the tension in the air was palpable.
Katrina focused on her kids, running her fingers gently through her daughter’s soft curls. For a moment, the world felt normal, safe... until Vanessa’s sharp voice cut through the quiet.
“Kate,” Vanessa said, stepping into the room with an urgency that sent a chill down Katrina’s spine.
Katrina looked up, concern etching across her face. “What’s going on?”
Vanessa looked at the two kids before she offered a faint, reassuring smile. "Can you come over? We have something to discuss with you present."
Katrina nodded, her heart pounding. She turned to Clarence. "Be a good girl and look after your brother for me, okay?" She looked up to see Maria coming closer to take over. "Maria..."
Maria caught her hand and offered it a squeeze. "They'll be fine. Go."
Katrina pursed her lips and nodded, following Vanessa to the dining room.
“We’ve been discussing with Kylan and went over witness statements. Including yours. We think we’ve identified the person behind all of this.”
