My Darling Lila,
Please wear this on your next photoshoot.
I want to see that gorgeous body before I have it!

Before anyone could say anything else, there was another knock at the door.
“Can this wait?”
“I have another delivery here for Lila.”
Nicola walked back into the room carrying a bouquet of white roses, a teddy bear, and some chocolates.
“There was only a spoken message from the delivery man this time. He said you will know who these are from and make sure you are wearing his gift when he sees you next.”
I could feel the tears starting to fall from my face. This wasn’t just some crazed fan now. This was starting to get serious. Sienna and Jo were right. I needed to do something about this, and soon.
“Thank you, Nicola. Let me know if anything else arrives, but apart from that, we are not to be disturbed.”
“Of course, Ms. Robinson.”
I looked at the two worried faces in front of me. I knew they would want me to do something, but I needed to get away from here. Back to the safety of my home. The only people who knew where I lived were friends and the two ladies in this room. That was, unless my secret admirer had been following me, which I was starting to suspect he had.
“Abigail, you can’t let this carry on. If you don’t do something about this, then I will.”
“I know, Jo. This is too much. How anyone could expect me to wear this filth is beyond me. This is just depraved. I’m not feeling too good, so I am going to go home and call Jayden King. Hopefully, he can see me either this afternoon or tomorrow. Bianca, could you cancel my shoots for the next couple of days? Say that I have gone down with a virus and need a few days to recover?”
“Of course I can, Abigail. Are you going to be okay getting home?”
“Yes, I will be fine. I will send you both a message letting you know I got back safely. If you don’t hear from me in an hour, then send someone round.”
“Are you sure I can’t get Joseph or Aaron to take you home?”
“Thank you for the offer, Jo, but I will be fine. I will see you towards the end of the week. I will take the box and note and put it with the others. Just get rid of the rest of the stuff for me please.”
With that, I picked up the box and note and headed out of the office, ignoring everyone who tried to speak to me, and headed out to my car.
I pulled up outside my apartment building, and I sent a quick message to Jo and Bianca to let them know I was home safely. How I had managed to drive home was beyond me. My heart had been pumping blood around my body fast, and I was almost hyperventilating all the way home. The anxiety I had been feeling all the way home had started to ease the closer I got.
I was finally safe. I just needed to get into my apartment, and I would be fine. Heading up to my front door, I opened it and picked up my mail from the floor. I never received much here, just the normal run-of-the-mill bills and the odd circular. As I walked into my kitchen and placed the letters down, I noticed a handwritten envelope made out to Miss Lila Goddard.
My heart sank. No one knew me as Lila here. I opened the envelope, and the dread I was feeling multiplied as I unfolded the note inside. My breathing increased, my heart started to beat faster and harder in my chest, and I could see my hands shaking as I started to read.
My Darling Lila,
Don’t think you will ever escape me.
I know exactly who you are, Lila…or should I say
Abigail Clarke?
How is your sister, Christine?
Remember to wear the lingerie for me.
