Chapter 37
Liam's POV
I ran outside to check the surroundings. This lunatic is lurking outside and watching us! I'll be damned if I let them take away my woman! Whoever that bastard is, I will find him! I can't lose Bella. Not again! It pained me to see the fear in Bella's eyes every time this lunatic sends her photos.
I dialed the detectives' number earlier and told them about the new photo Bella received just now. They said they would be coming over and assigned people to watch over the house.
I went back inside to see my family stressing out and Bella silently crying. I went back to her side and held her tight.
" The police are coming, baby. They will send their men to watch over the house and protect you. I will stay with you until this bastard gets caught, okay?" I consoled her and kissed her temples.
" Liam, I am scared. I am scared of what this person could do." She sobbed in my arms, and it broke my heart to see her like this.
" Baby, look at me. I will not let them touch you, okay? We will find this guy, trust me." I told her and kissed her forehead. Then we heard cars stopped outside and someone knocked at the door. Todd got up and opened the door. It is Detective Drew and some other policemen.
" Good afternoon, everyone. Doctor Jones, I am assigning detective Rogers and detective Cole to watch over your house tonight and follow Ms. Montreal wherever she goes until this guy is caught. Show me the latest photo they sent." Detective Drew said, and I handed him Bella's phone.
" This is now a criminal case. Whoever this is, he is obviously trying to scare Miss Montreal and maybe waiting for the right time to strike. As I've said earlier, she should not be left alone, and that includes her daughter. You mentioned the name of Mr. Peters, we visited him, and he got a solid alibi on his whereabouts this afternoon. He promised to cooperate on this investigation and is willing to be investigated." The detective said, and I just nodded. I can't think of anybody else who would do this to Bella.
" Can you also try to check on Taylor Miller? She's my ex-girlfriend and lives in New York. Maybe check on her itinerary and see if she left New York this week? We really cannot think of anybody else." I told him, and he jots down the name.
" Alright, Dr. Jones, that's it for now. Our men will do a full sweep of the perimeter before we leave. Our detectives will be patrolling outside your house so that you can rest easy for tonight. I will let you know in the morning if I have some developments. Take care and give us a call if they try to contact you again, Miss Montreal." He ordered and walked to the door. My dad sees him out and thanked him.
" I'll go and prepare dinner. Agnes, would you like to come with me and help me out?" My mom stood up and went to the kitchen with Aunt Agnes and Sophie. Dad went to his study, then Collette and Todd went to their room to rest. I was left alone with Bella in the living room, she looks tired, so I lifted her and walked upstairs to my room.
" Liam, where are we going?" She mumbled sleepily.
" To my room, babe. You look like you need a rest." I kissed her forehead and laid her on my bed. She looks so fragile yet so perfect lying in my bed. I pulled the covers and put them over her tiny body.
" Sleep, love. I will go down and check with the detectives. I will come to fetch you when dinner is made, okay? Don't worry too much, baby. You are safe. I will never leave you." I kissed the top of her head, her hands, and her soft lips.
" Thank you, Liam. I feel better because you're here with me. I love you so much." She whispered and looked up at me. My heart clenched at the tenderness I saw there. I dipped my head and captured her lips.
" I love you too, baby, with all my heart, and I will do everything to keep you and Sophie safe," I promised her. She smiled and closed her tired eyes. I stayed with her for a while until she fell deep into sleep. I kissed her softly on the head and went out of my room.
I went to the kitchen to check on Sophie and asked if I could help the two mothers busy preparing dinner.
" Hey, guy! Anything I can do to help? Hi baby, how's my Princess?" I went to Sophie sitting by the counter, watching her Nana mixing the sauce for the pasta.
" Hi, daddy. I'm helping Nana make the pasta sauce." She told me animatedly. I picked her up and kissed her soft chubby cheeks.
" Wow! It must taste so good then. Good job, sweetheart." I twirled her around, and she squealed in delight.
" Hi, hon. How's Bella doing?" Aunt Agnes asked me while stirring the sauce.
" She fell asleep right away, Aunt Agnes. She was stressed about all this. It makes me so mad. I want this to end." I told her honestly. If I ever get a hold of this crazy stalker, I'll wring his neck.
" I do hope the police will catch whoever this guy is, son. I am scared for what he is planning to do to Bella." My mom butted in and shook her head in frustration.
" Yes, I am too, Carmen. Especially the school is going to start on Monday. She will be exposed to a lot of people there, and who knows, this guy might try hurting her while in school." Aunt Agnes added. Her voice is full of misery and fear.
" I know, Aunt Agnes, but I trust the police will do their job in protecting her. I wanted so much to guard her 24 hours, but I have a clinic to run and my voluntary work at the hospital too." I told her, frustrated that I cannot do anything to prevent this from happening.
" Dinner will be served in a few minutes son, go and check on Bella. Wake her up so we can eat. I'll call your dad and your sister." Mom ordered me, so I went up to my room to awaken my queen. Sophie came with me to help me wake her mommy up.
We came closer quietly and watched her sleep soundlessly. Sophie went to the other side while I lay facing her. I tucked her hair on her ear and kissed her forehead.
" Baby, wake up. Dinner is ready, and Sophie is here to fetch you. She helped Nana cook today." I touched her face softly, and she burrowed her face on my palm.
" Mommy, wake up. I made your favorite pasta sauce. Nana said, it's your favorite, come on, mommy, I'm hungry." Sophie laid her head on her mother's head and whispered in her ear.
" Alright! Alright, you two, I'm up!" She grabbed Sophie and tickled her.
" Hello, sleepyhead. Had a good rest?" I asked her and kissed her upturned face.
" Mhmm, until you two disturb my beautiful dream." She chuckled and attacked Sophie with small kisses. How I wish this will last forever. I wished to build a family with her. I wished Sophie was my daughter. It will be the best thing ever. After all of this is through, I will ask Bella to marry me, and I won't take no for an answer.
