Let's see what unfolds now.

Chapter 11: An Old Friend

She finally woke up, but Alex had fallen asleep. She was moved back into her room. Alex woke up and went to go and talk to her and see if what those files said was true.

"Hey, Karen, I got to ask you some questions. You think you can answer them for me?"

"Huh? Alex? What are you doing here? How did you get here?"

"Well the police called me and told me what happened and I came over. Now do you mind if I ask you some questions?"

"Uhm, I don't know. I'm very confused right now."

"Why wouldn't you tell me about your past? I could've been there for you. I would have supported you and protected you?"

She looked at Alex with big eyes. Did he really know what happened to her in the past? Well at least he wouldn't find out the whole truth."

"I was stupid and naïve. I didn't know what I was saying then and now it doesn't matter, he is dead and I don't have to worry about it anymore."

Or at least she hoped she wouldn't. Now that it was known that she was here she needed to get out of here as fast as possible. Before he came back for her.

"I can't believe you would violate my privacy like that. It is my personal life and no one should be aloud to it."

"Hey I had to find out from someone since you wouldn't tell me. I mean I was in the dark Karen. I felt that I didn't even know you."

"You do know me a different me. The me I left back here is gone. When I left I decided I would start fresh and forget about the past."

"But when you came here you didn't even want to be here you wanted to be back home. You are making no sense."

"I need to be left alone you are starting to get me worked up again. I don't want to be back in intensive care."

"Fine I'll leave, but I'm telling you right now I will find all this out in the end. I love you and care for you. I just want the best for you."

She could feel the tears rising in her eyes, that was exactly what her mom would say whenever she tried to give her money and make me run away.

"By the way the detectives will be back over to talk to you, so I thought I would just prepare you. If you need me I'm right outside the door."

At that moment there was a knock on the door and she knew who it was from the knock.

"Hello Karen. Will excuse me for a minute sir? I need to have a few words with her. It is good to see you back in town."

"Sure unless Karen has any objections."

"Oh she won't object will you Karen?"

Karen didn't say anything she just stared at him and shook her head no.

"See I told you now can we have some privacy?"

"Yeah, sure."

Alex left the room and the second the door closed the mans smile grew ten fold.

"I knew you would come back eventually. You had to and when you came back I would retrieve what is rightfully mine."

"I know what you did. I will let everyone know."

At this point he takes her throat in her hands.

"You are mine and you will do no such thing do you hear me?"

She shakes her head feebly.

"I only did it so I could get you back to me. You were doing me no good over there. Now I have you. You thought you could just sneak in huh? Good thing that drunk idiot ex of yours hit you."

"Wh-what a-are you ta-talking about?"

"Oh, that's right the cops haven't found him. Wait I know why, that's because I have him. Hahaha."

"You son of a bitch. I swear-

"Ah ah now watch what you say. I thought I would just pay a visit. I see that you beau over there hasn't found out about me. Ha. Don't worry I won't tell him as long as you come nice and quietly."

She didn't say anything she just looked at him.

"That's my good girl."

He leans down and kisses her on her forehead and leaves.

Karen turns over and cries into her pillow. What she had feared most had come true. She had to keep it from Alex.

Alex came in and saw that she was crying he wrapped his arms around her and just held her like that. He didn't know what it was, but he could tell that there was something wrong and it had to do with that man. He vowed that he would find out the truth.
