Chapter 24 

“How are you Skylar. Everyone has missed you. Sister Magret was worried about you staying alone so she sent me. I recanted my vows“, she said quietly taking a seat on the couch. I looked towards my room door and saw it was open. Then I heard the front door. 

I turned the corner just in time to see the front door close. I grabbed my phone and texted him he replied saying he was already out. I couldn’t help but look at her. She was about thirty years old. Fair skinned and petite with long black hair and brown eyes. In her gown you would never know she was this beautiful. 

We sat talking about everything. I could see her eyes lingering on the marks on my neck, but she wouldn’t ask. We were there for what felt like hours when I heard the doorbell. I made my way over to the door. I wasn’t expecting him when I opened it. 

“Umm. Mr. Sterling is something wrong“? 

He didn’t say anything, he walked past me and straight into the living room. I hurriedly closed the door and walked after him. I turned the corner to find him standing there looking at Sister Ana. 

“Hello Dorian“, she said smiling at him, and all he did was stand there and looked at her. After what felt like an eternity he spoke. 

“I thought you were dead“, he said in a tone I had never heard before. 

“Umm, I’ll leave you two alone“, I said walking out of the living room. I grabbed my 

handbag and phone and left the apartment. I headed down and got into the car. I texted Asher and he replied. 

MESSAGES 

ASHER: Who was it? 

SKYLAR: a nun from the orphanage. I umm left her with Dorian in my apartment. They 

seem to know each other. 

ASHER; okay. I need to take care of some work. I’ll be busy for a while. You won’t be able to reach me. Samuel will be watching Don’t break the rules Skylar.

Chapter 24 

SKYLAR: yea yea. I’m heading to Miles’s place. 

ASHER: Be safe baby 

When I drove out of the gates, I saw the black SUV parked there and I saw Samuel. [ headed towards Miles Place because I didn’t know what time I would be able to go back to my apartment. I guess Sister Ana, well she was no longer a nun. I guess she and Sterling 

knew each other. 

I decided not to go to Miles’s place, instead I found a café and went there and sat down. I began thinking. My mind drifted to my stalker. Asher had power. I wasn’t stupid not to try 

and connect the dots. I remember what Darla and Miles said about the, prominent 

families of Havenwood and my mind landed on Dorian Sterling. 

He was as tall as Asher, sometimes he sounded like him. Why did he show up in my apartment building that day. Why did he show up when Ivy was making that assumption in the dorms? How did he know his stepmother had me?. 

How did Asher know Dorian was in the office that day. Miles’s words kept ringing in my ears. ‘Maybe he is Sterling‘. Na, I don’t think he would be that deranged. His eye color isn’t the same and to hide that many tattoos would be hell because he would have to be switching back and forth. Maybe they were fake, and he used them with me only to throw 

off my suspicion. 

I kept thinking about it but couldn’t come up with anything rational. After an hour I headed back to the apartment. When I walked in Ana was alone in the living room. 

“You’re back“, 

“I am. Is everything fine“?, I asked,plopping down on the couch. 

“Yes. Dorian and I go way back when I came to the orphanage you were about eight right“? she asked 

“Yea. I remember“. 

“Well, I got hurt and He thought I was dead. I was left for dead. Emelda did it. We were in our twenties Dorian, and I were together. A lot of things happened. Just don’t be worried 

about me“, she said

Chapter 24 

Holy shit, she and Dorian were lovers well used to be. 

“Okay“. 

“He’s no longer that person. The Dorian I knew was sweet, kind, loving and always smiling. I don’t know this person anymore“, she said quietly. 

“Does sister Magret Know? I mean about your past and stuff“? 

“Yes, and before I left, we had a discussion. She knew I would run into him“.
