“I don’t like this,” I mutter, watching Rosie as she puts on her jacket. My heart is racing to the point of pain and I keep pacing back and forth in her bedroom. She sighs and turns towards me causing me to stop moving around. 

“I will be careful.” She wraps her arms around my neck. “And I know there will be a lot of security around,” she reminds me, attempting to make me feel better and more at ease, but my nerves are all over her place. 

We found out who her stalker is. I wish I could say I was surprised to learn that it was Everest, but I kind of expected him to do something as sick as stalking and terrorizing Rosie. He couldn’t get over the fact that Rosie humiliated him in front of a lot of people at the party. I wish I was at that party. I wanted to see her put him in his place. 

“I just want you to be safe,” I mumble, holding her close to me. 

“And I will be safe. Dad won’t put me in danger and the detective has many security guards discussed as pedestrians around. Let’s not forget the police,” she reminds me. I should be convinced, but I’m not. I’m not saying that I would care about her safety more than her father would, but I saw the plan as a risk. When it comes to Rosie, I don’t take risks. I always prefer to play it safe whenever she is involved. 

We now know that the stalker, who happens to be Everest, follows her actively during the days she goes to classes. When she was at her parents‘ place, he didn’t send her any message that indicated that he knew her location. However, whenever she is at college, the tone of his messages changes. He even sends her pictures of herself while she’s sitting with me or any to freak her out.

Today, we’re trying our luck. We don’t know if he may follow her or not, but we’ve given him enough signs to make him believe that Rosie is going out with the girls tonight. She has posted stories on Instagram, showing her ticket to an event she’s supposedly going to with the girls. 

We’re certain that he wants to hurt her and since she’s going to be on her own, this will make him think that she’s an easy target. We have already installed a GPS in her car to track her lest anything bad should happen. She is also wearing a very small earpiece that allows us to talk to her in case we need to give her a warning. 

The two of us walk to the living ro 

Julian, Emily, and the detective are waiting for us. 

“We will be able to catch him red–handed tonight. He’s already around the apartment building,” the detective informs us the moment he sees us. I clench my fist when I feel Rosie tense beside me. I need to control my anger for her sake. I’m usually the calm partner in our relationship, the rational one who calculates all his steps, but today logic has no place inside of me. want to kill Everest with my bare hands. I want to rearrange his face for what he has put her through. 

I know she’s trying to act tough in front of me, doing her best to convince me that she believes she is going to be okay no. matter what, but I know her so well. She is an open book to me that I can easily read in all languages of the world. 

I place my hand on the small of her back and start rubbing small circles to calm her down. I’m done seeing her nervous and scared because of him. I want her to live her life normally. She deserves to live in peace. 

Before finding out who has been stalking her, Rosie had a nightmare twice. I was asleep beside her both times. Her whimpers and pleas tore my heart into pieces. Her trembling body didn’t calm down easily and her cries only subsided after repeatedly assuring her that nobody was going to hurt her. 

“When is she supposed to leave?” I ask, looking at them. 

“Now would be good,” the detective replies. 

I take a deep breath and kiss the side of her head. “We’re gonna celebrate getting rid of him tonight, I mumble, looking at her with a small smile I manage to draw on my lips. Even if I don’t feel so confident about the whole thing, I need her to be confident. I want her to trust herself. 

“You’re going to be safe. I don’t want you to worry at all,” Julian assures his daughter as he stands in front of her Julian loves her so much and I’m certain that he’s never going to risk her safety.

The while purpose of this–trap is that we don’t want to give him room for claiming that he has done nothing. If we catch him while he’s attempting to attack her, this will be enough to throw him in prison for a while. 

“I know.” Rosie nods, looking at her dad. 

We all take her to her car and the detective makes sure that the GPS is working one last time before she drives off. 

Quickly, we get in the SUV waiting for us and the driver takes us to where the ambush is taking place. The car is already equipped with enough tools to allow us to hear anything Rosie may want to tell us in addition to a tracking device to monitor her movements. 

Once we arrive, we park the car slightly away from where Rosie is parked. She has already been instructed to park the car slightly away from the pub to give him a chance to follow her on foot and initiate the attack. There are two dark side streets in the path she is taking and while she isn’t going to enter these streets since the pub is on the main one, we suspect that Everest may use these streets to hide or pull Rosie into any of them. 

“He’s already following her,” one of the security guards informs us through the microphone he’s wearing; all of the security guards are wearing microphones and earpieces to communicate with us. My heart slams against my chest and I wonder if our plan is too dangerous. 

“Rosie, he’s following you. We need you to act normal. Don’t look around you,” the detective instructs her. I’m worried about her. No, worried isn’t a strong active to describe what I’m feeling 

I look at Emily and realize that her state is just like mine. I steal a glance at Julian and see him composed. Knowing Julian, he may be composed from the outside, but falling apart from the inside. 

I gasp upon hearing my girl’s scream through the speakers. What has he done to her? 

** 

“Is she safe? Confirm her safety!” the detective demands through the microphone as he contacts the security guards. 

We wait for a couple of seconds, then somebody confirms she’s okay and they have caught Everest. We all sigh in relief and rush out of the SUV. 

I run towards her, desiring nothing but to see with my own eyes that she’s okay. The moment I see her, I wrap my arms around her body and kiss the top of her head repeatedly.
