Bad Decisions
I went about my usual routine early this morning. Not giving off any clues about what I had planned later. I know that Noah will be following me when I head to work. I'm going to purposely drop a note for him with a time to meet me before I have my first class. It’s not the smartest decision I’ve made but I need to get Melanie back from him. I’ll exchange myself for her release if I have to. I’m praying that Liam will figure out what I have done after Melanie and I are safe from Noah and the cartel.After my shift at the Mean Bean coffee shop, I start walking to the University when someone grabs my arm. Noah. He had been watching when I purposely dropped the note for him. “So you said you wanted to talk, but first where’s your boyfriend at,” He said. As he scans the area. “I don’t know where he is, but what I want to talk about is getting Melanie back,”“I’m sorry who are you talking about,”“My friend Melanie, the one your people took on her way to work one day,” I hissed.“Oh that

Rescued
I don’t know how long I was out for but when I started coming around. I heard screaming men yelling just a bunch of commotion coming from the hallway. I go throw open the curtains to see a bunch of red and blue lights in front of the house. Some of the police cars were parked in the grass, in the driveway. They looked as if they surrounded us. “Yes, I’m saved,” I screamed out loud. “Not yet you’re not,” Noah advised me as he came through the door. He grabbed me by my arm and started dragging me out of the room. As he was dragging me through the house I saw people with FBI vests on along with Police vests. I started yelling for help over and over again. I thought I had seen Liam as Noah was trying to drag me out the back door. “Liam! Liam!,” I yelled until he finally noticed me the instant Noah had gotten me out the door. Liam gave chase out the back door shouting. “Noah stop, let her go,” When we get to a black car Noah stops and spins me around in front of him with a gun to my head.

Finally, after spending hours on the road, I’m back in my favorite place in the world Phoenix, Arizona with its beautiful scenery and culture plus the temperatures stay pleasantly warm throughout the year. The weather there is nothing like living in Arkansas. Liam pulled some strings with the University for me to do make-up classes so my grades wouldn’t drop. I’m not allowed to work for a while until the FBI knows that I’m safe and the cartel isn’t looking for me. Until then my classes will be done once again online.Allie and Melanie looked like they had just woken up when Liam and I had just walked into the house. “Oh thank god you're both safe,” They said, running up to give us hugs. “Aria I can’t thank you enough for what you did for me, even though it was completely stupid,” Melanie said hugging me tighter. “If there is anything I can do to repay you just let me know,” “You’re welcome, but Melanie you don’t need to repay me for saving you, you wouldn’t have been taken if it hadn

New Day
“Come on I want to go to town,” I hear Allie pleading with her brother Liam, an FBI Agent that was sent to protect me until they put Noah, my asshole of an ex-husband, along with his sleazy brother Caleb in prison for abducting me and drug smuggling. Noah and Caleb are the sons of the head of the Reza drug cartel. Who are now after me and my two friends Allie and Melanie. “What do you need to go to town for,” Liam asked. “Fine if you must know I thought we could get some flowers to plant in front of the house and maybe some stuff to plant a garden, since Aria, Melanie and I are stuck here we should be able to plant some flowers and stuff,” She said. I make my way down the stairs when I catch Liam giving into his little sister.”Your right we will go later after Cap and I get these cameras up alright,” Allie squeals so loud it makes my head throb. Rubbing my temples I make my way to the coffee pot, “Hello old friend,” I say after taking a sip. “Did you say something,” Liam asked. “Just

I'll Never Be Free
It turns out that the other day we were followed back here but not by a vehicle but by a drone. When we thought that we had lost them before that first turn to go down the dirt road they had just stopped and used a drone to follow us. How could I have been so stupid to think that one day I’ll be free to live a normal life? I bet you're wondering how we found all this out, well Cap got up early this morning, as usual, he went out to the front porch to drink his morning coffee and found a drone sitting on a table with a picture of our house taped to it. He brought it in and plopped it in front of Liam. “They found us, brother, they might not have followed you by vehicle but they followed you,” Cap growled. “We are going to have to call in reinforcements. With the court date coming up they seem to be out for blood,” He looked straight at me when he said that. “What if I don’t testify do you think they would leave me alone then,” I trembled.Liam walks over to me putting his arms around m

Court
June third. The first day of the trial for Noah and Caleb. My ex-husband and his brother who abducted me. This day came too fast and too slow for me. I’m scared and grateful this whirlwind of a mess is finally over. I hope so. Will it ever really be over? Maybe, maybe not. I guess it just depends on how this trial goes. My emotions are all over the place this morning as I get dressed for the trial of the century. That’s what they are calling it on the news anyway. One minute I’ll be crying then the next minute I’m calm and collected, and another minute I feel like I’m going to pass out.Liam and Cap stopped by last night to give us an update on everything that had happened since we escaped into the tunnel. The gunfire that had happened was a distraction for two of the cartel men to be able to go into our house and kill us, but to their surprise, we had escaped just in time, plus they didn’t plan on Cap and Liam being there so late. The few men they had brought with them were taken do

Free At Last
It turns out when you help the government take down a big time drug cartel they pay you handsomely even though I had only done it to stay alive and to get my life back.

I changed my name permanently to Aria Fitzgerald, Hanna Reza died that day when Caleb abducted her many moons ago. I am in my last semester of Law school. Dennis Blackman told me that when I graduate I could come work with him, he has even been letting me help him in his law firm.

My sweet Liam has taken some much needed time off from the FBI to rest and to build my dream house on the property that our family was murdered on.
