The Billionaire's Daughter
Chapter 25: Suspicions
On our last day, I received a package at my hotel room. It was not signed and I was half expecting it to be from Rob as a parting gift perhaps. For a second, I thought of the previous gifts I received at my school locker, they have the same gift wrapper as the one I received. It may just be a coincidence or could it be the same sender?
I opened the gift and screamed at the contents. It was a picture of me with note written in red ink “I will get you SLUT!!!” taped inside the box. The worst part is the crawling worms and cockroaches all over it. I immediately closed the box and threw it outside the room.
Rob must have heard me from across the hall. He opened his door and saw me pale faced and in shock. He looked at the box and back at me. That was when everything sunk in and I started to cry.
He hastily approached as if he was scared of what was happening to me. He kept on looking at the box and at me. He kicked the box away without asking me what was inside that made me act so scared.
When he reached me, he just hugged me and said sorry. He kept on saying sorry. I told him what happened. That I have been receiving gifts like that back at home but this time it was awful.
“It was like the person was suddenly mad at me or something. What could I have done to deserve that? I never did anything wrong to anyone. Not that I know of. Who could have done this?”
“Shhhh. . . I’m sorry Saphira. You don’t deserve any of this. You are a good person inside and out. Stop crying. We’ll sort this out, I promise.”
“I thought I could still have fun tonight before we leave tomorrow but now, I don’t think I could.”
“The more reason we have to go. So you can forget about this thing. It would be a waste of time to just sit here and cry. We’ll have fun. Don’t we always?”
“But. . . is it safe for me to go out there? Maybe he’s here or whoever that is who sent that box.”
