EDENI was probably going to get a speeding ticket at this rate but right now, I don't care.If Roman was in this city, then it meant he was coming after me . I need to get to Isabelle before he gets to her. Or else it would be the last time I would ever see my baby.But then, if he was following me then that meant that going to her school would be leading him straight to her. If he knew where he was, then he would have taken her a long time ago and Belle hadn't mentioned that any strange man was speaking to her at school.I needed to get out of the city. And I needed to get out fast.But I needed a way to get my daughter first. Oh, I know. I'll go and ask Alicia to pick her up. I changed my route and made my way to Alicia's house.Could she have been the one who reported me? Maybe she was a spy that he sent? But then he would wait five years to come and get me if he knew where I was.Besides, if he knew that the baby was a girl, he wouldn't still be coming after me.I trusted Alicia

EDENAs much as I hated the idea, it was the only one we could come up with at this moment. Not just that, It was the only one that seemed like it would work on Roman.He wasn't stupid. He was actually really smart so it won't be able to trick him into not noticing that Belle was alive. If we could convince him that Belle was dead, then that would take care of everything.“ But how would we do that? I mean, how would we convince him that she's de-, that I never gave birth to her? Roman is very smart, he would dig deep.”I hated saying that she was dead. Even though it wasn't true, it still made me uncomfortable.“Remember that you gave birth in a hospital I used to work in? I still have a couple of friends there, I guess I can call in a favor for a fake death certificate. And then, Henry won't ask questions if we ask him to help us fig a fake grave and make a fake headstone, would he?”Henry was a craftsman, and a very good one.It sounded like it could work. If we could get everythin

EDENI almost called the police. I almost packed up everything and moved to another apartment. I almost drove to Alicia's house and picked up Belle so we could leave the country.But I held back. I ran away 5 years ago from Roman's pack. I ran away from New York just because I felt Roman was around me. Now I was in Nevada and he was actually here, I won't run.Actually I can't, I've built a life here that I couldn't just pack up and run away from. I'd have to turn in my resignation letter, leave Alicia and Kian behind and start a new life only God knows where.Now, it wasn't only me anymore. I also had Belle to consider, I didn't want to start moving her around so much as soon as I caught wind of Roman. I had seen all those movies where kids got moved around so much and they ended up hating their parents because they didn't have a stable life and stable friends.The moment I started moving around so much because of Roman, thinking I was protecting her, I would be messing up her life.

EDENI was paranoid. Over the last few days, it was like I'd been seeing Roman everywhere. Whenever there was a knock on my door, my heart would start beating loudly because I always thought it was him.I even went as far as taking a leave of one month from work because I needed time to sort things out. I needed time to think about my next line of action. The fact that he had not come to see me in three weeks made me comfortable and uncomfortable at the same time.Comfortable because i don't know how I'll react if he showed up at my house again.Uncomfortable because I wondered what he was doing. I took a break from work because I wanted to avoid him. Since he hasn't seen me there, why hasn't he come to look for me here?I knew he hadn't given up. The sky would turn red before Roman gave up on me so what exactly was he planning?Had he found proof that Belle was alive and maybe that was why he wasn't even bothering with me anymore. But if he had, he would have come here to gloat that

ROMAN“What can I do for you, Mr Floyd?“I need you to check if this baby was delivered at this hospital?”I hated hospitals.I showed him the death certificate which made him crunch his note a bit and then he began typing away on his keyboard while I took a look around his office.Several awards lined the wall like he was trying so hard to make it obvious that he was good at what he did. Quinn knew how queasy hospitals made me and she was seated quietly beside me, giving me that look and laughing silently.“Stop laughing before I peel your face off.”“Oh yes, Mr Floyd” he handed me back the paper “She was born here, December fifteenth, at 10:25pm."Good, one step cleared.“Who did you say was the nurse that delivered this baby?”He began typing on her computer again. Quinn obviously thought I was going too far with this but I needed to make sure all the information was accurate.Of course, I knew the baby was born, I just needed to know what happened after that. It wasn't a point for
