you and arrange a meeting. Alice, your son wants to see
you. Will you meet with us?”
“Yes of course I will. Just say when!” I smile as I am delighted that Alice has
agreed to my proposal.
     
“How about dinner tonight, at the Oak Room?”
“Yes, let’s say seven o’ clock?” I smile again and then I agree with Alice. “See you then,”
     
I hang up and then I instantly text Adrian to fill him in.
     
Hey doll, I talked to your Mom and we are going tohave dinner tonight at the
Oak Room – seven o’ clock. Let me know if that time suits you, Alanna x
    I glance at the time and I notice that it’s gone ten therefore; I rush out the
room and into the lounge/ kitchen area. I quickly make some coffee and I
nibble on a ready-made waffle. I take a seat at the breakfast bar and I begin to
scan today’s newspaper. As I look over the entertainment section, I hear a firm
knock at the door. I make my way over and that’s when I see one of the body
guards reaching to open the door. I step back as he glances at me. He pulls
open the door and there stands a small delivery man. He is dressed in his fedex uniform and he holds an envelope in his hand.
“Miss Hart?” He asks as he locks his small, brown eyes on mine. I smile at him.
     
“Yes that’s me,”
     
“Could you please sign here,” he alerts me as he holds out a clipboard. I sign
and then he thrusts the envelope into my hand.
    “Have a nice day, Miss Hart.” I march into the lounge and I quickly begin to
open the envelope. I take out a note and a picture. My heart is racing and I am
terrified to look at the note. I pick up courage and with one swift movement, I
flip the piece of paper and the picture around. I gasp as I see that the picture is
of Adrian and me. I am startled as I begin to read this new threat.
    Alanna why do you insist on staying with this murderer? Why are you marrying
him in five days’ time when you know that he has taken a life? Can’t you see
him for what he really is? You need to listen to my warnings and leave Adrian
Black! Leave him or suffer the heartbreak that will follow you.
I hold back my tears as I throw the note and picture to the bodyguard. He
begins to read over the threat and then he gives me my orders.
    “Wait here, I will be right back.” He glides out into the hallway of the building
and I jump when I hear the bang from door behind him. My mind is spinning
from this new threat. I march over to the sofa and I throw myself down. My
head is now beginning to pound, so I slowly lie down and rest my head against
the soft, gold cushion. I close my eyes and then I reach for my buzzing phone.
“Alanna, are you alright?” Adrian’s voice is sharp and his tone rings in my ears.
     
“ Yes I’m fine. I take it from your tone that you know about the note?”
“Yes, I know about the threat. Alanna it is not safe for you at the condo. I need
you to go and stay with your parents for a few days, without me.”
“No, I can’t. I need to be with you.” My body temperature is rising as I feel that
this is a losing battle.
    “I want to be with you to but, it is too dangerous. I need you to go and spend
your last few days as a single girl, with your family.” Adrian’s voice is
sympathetic as I take in his plea. I nervously run my fingers through my hair as I
consider his suggestion. My mind races and then I think of Michael. I glance at
my watch and I realise that I need to meet him. I quickly clear my throat as I
pick up the courage to fill Adrian in on my plans.
“Adrian, I have to meet with Michael.” The phone is silent as I await his words.
     
“Why?”
“Last night at dinner, he asked me if I could meet him today at central park.”
“I see and are you going to meet him?” I start to worry as I reply. What if
Adrian doesn’t want me to meet with Michael?
    “I was going to. We haven’t talked in so long and I… miss him.”
“I am confused Alanna, didn’t you speak with him last night?” Adrian’s voice
