Chapter 5 The Stalker

Thirty minutes later, a cab dropped Heather and Sophia at an apartment.

"Your bags are inside already." Sophia said on their way in.

"Thank you for that."

"So what do you think?"

"Think about what?" Heather wore off the white gown she was wearing.

"About what Killian told you." Sophia said and unlocked the door. Heather and Harry walked in first before Sophia.

"I think he's lying to me about all the shit he said."

"What?" Sophia scoffed unbelievably.

"If you thought he was lying, why the hell did you come back?"

"Killian lied to me and I wanna know why he did that. I wanna know what really happened to him."

"Really?" Sophia scoffed again and dropped the contained bags on the table in the dinning.

"Or do you wanna tell me instead?" Heather looked at Sophia, hanging her dress on the hanger behind the door.

"Are you teasing me Miss Heather?"

"No I'm just concerned about your brother who might become my husband one day, that's all."

"Are you sure? Or are planning on how to fix yourself into his life and make your dreams come true?" Sophia said and they both scoffed lightly.

"I still remember seeing you both at the airport, begging me to return."

"The design starts tomorrow and we have some showcasing at the lobby tonight."

"Am I invited to the showcasing?"

"Yeah I guess your manager Ben invited you specially and I also hope you can sleep alone here?"

"Why can't I? Or is it a haunted apartment?"

"This is Beijing not America." Sophia added and opened the door.

"Please can I ask for a favor?"

"Okay?"

"Can your daughter come over and sleep with Harry? I mean, spend the night with Harry?"

"Harry is only five and I understand what you meant by sleep."

"Cool."

"Fine. She'll be here soon enough." Sophia smiled weirdly to Heather and left the apartment.

"Come on! Time to bath and eat." Heather smiled to Harry and grabbed the contained bags Sophia dropped on the table and headed to the bathroom. While bathing Harry and singing funny lullabies to him, her phone ranged out loudly and she picked it up immediately.

"Hello who's this?"

"Go away." a female voice sounded into her ears.

"Excuse me?"

"I said 'Go away." the voice repeated and Heather was startled.

"Please who are you?" Heather asked and a phone inside one of the contained bags began to ring out loudly.

Heather inserted her hand inside the bag and brought out the ringing small old cell phone. Beside the phone, she saw some pictures in the bag. She brought out the pictures and to her shock, it was all pictures of her from five years ago till recent time. Pictures of her and Killian standing at the hotel door five years ago, pictures of when she was pregnant while in Russia, pictures of when Harry was one year old and many others. Heather gasped fearfully and looked all around her.

"Who are you please? What is all these?"

"I'm sorry, I didn't actually wanna scare you but I started following you from the day you had sex with Killian. Your accidental sex, as you call it." the caller said slowly.

"I know everything about you but trust me, you are in good hands."

"What do you want from me?" Heather sobbed.

"We will both do each other a favor. If you really want to know why Helena lured you into having sex with Killian while she can do it herself and get the whole money."

"Or didn't you think so?" the caller chuckled.

"Do you even know what happened to your mother in that hospital that day?"

"Sophia why are you doing this to me?" Heather cried.

"Sophia? Are you insane? Do I sound that chubby to you?"

"Please stop!"

"Do you want the deal or not? I bet the answer is yes."

"What if I say No?"

"I will send prove to the Chang's family that Harry is Killian's son and the heir to Strings Clothing. I will ruin his reputation to an extent that he will turn into a market beggar."

"I know his life is already ruined and that he's living under the shadow of the Changs, but you won't want to witness what Riley and her Changy dad will do you, Killian, Sophia, Harry and me as well." the caller paused for a while.

"You as well?"

"Deal or no deal?"

"What am I dealing on?"

"Victoria's wedding is in two weeks now. I want to ruin it perfectly."

"Who's Victoria?" Heather asked and stared at Harry.

"Don't act dumb right now Heather, I hate patience and evening jokes."

"I'm Serious. Who the hell is Victoria?"

"The governor's fucking daughter. She's the reason why you came to Beijing. Or is it not?"

"I haven't met her yet."

"I know. Now this is our deal. You are stitching a tiny button bomb to her wedding dress and I will keep your secret. I will deliver the button to you." The caller said and Heather ended the call immediately.

"Mummy, are you okay?" Harry kept staring at her.

"Yes baby. Let's take you to the room." she got him down from the bath tub and they headed into the bedroom. Her phone beeped twice and she stared at the screen. It was a message from the strange caller. The caller sent a picture to Heather. It was a picture of Heather currently carrying Harry out from the tub. As she was still at the picture surprisingly, her phone began to ring again.

"Are you stalking me? Where are you?" Heather moved closer to the window and looked outside the compound.

"This is not a game, nor blackmail. This is something serious."

"How can you expect me to kill the Governor's daughter? I can't kill someone."

"I didn't ask you to kill anybody, I just wanted you to put the button on the dress."

"A bomb button."

"Yes. I might not press the red button. You never know what will happen and you can't."

"I can't put a bomb on the her dress."

"What you said have just been recorded."

"What?"

"Are you gonna do it or not?"

"Why do you want to ruin my reputation? Where are you at? Come out let's talk in person." Heather said and there was silence for few seconds.

"Hello, where the hell are you?"

"You are in safe hands Heather remember? Just do what I asked for and I will finish the remaining."

"Just tell me who you are."

"Are you gonna do it or not?" the caller asked again.
