Her Dark Obsession

Cryptic Note

"Enjoy your happiness while it lasts"

That's what the note says." That's not weird and cryptic or anything" I think sarcastically.

"That's an odd note, who does it say it's from?" I ask instead.

"There's no name attached to it." Jack replies, " I wonder what it's supposed to mean."

Ding-dong.

"That must be the food now then." I say, thankful for the distraction from the creepy note. I head toward the door and open it to find a young looking waiter in a pristine white uniform pushing a cart with a table cloth draped over it and several silver lid covered dishes on it.

I open the door wide and step aside so he can enter. He takes the food to the table in the dining room and uncovers the dishes. He then pushes the cart into the corner and exits the suit.

Jack is still standing beside the coffee table, seemingly still stunned by the note.

"Jack" I call softly to him.

"hmm." Is all he replies.

"Let's forget about the note, it was probably prank pulled on us by Jake or something. The food is here, would you like to join me? I'm starving and it all looks delicious." I say in a cheerful tone trying to lighten his mood.

He laughs, " that does sound like some stunt Jake would pull doesn't it?" He replies.

" Yes it does," I say, releived he's smiling again.

He walks over to me and pulls me into a hug, kissing me passionately on the mouth.

We sit down and begin to eat, the note entirely forgotten. It's almost midnight when we finish eating. Neither of us is tired so we decide to finish the movie.

About an hour later:

"We only slept a few hours so why don't we get some more sleep so that we're not too tired to go out and see the Island tomorrow?" I ask Jack when the movie is over.

"Oh, honey. There's a lot I want to do with you right now, sleeping comes after." He chuckles and replies.

"Round 2?" I say waggling my eyebrows like he did earlier. I giggle as he suddenly rushes towards me and lays me on the couch, pinning me in his massive muscled arms. He kisses me passionately and we make love for the second time since we got married. When we're both finished we head into the bedroom to get some sleep.

6 hours later:

I awaken to see that the clock on the night stand says it's 8 am. I tip toe to the dresser and pull out a pair of pink panties and a matching bra along with a white sundress with sunflowers all over it. I then tip toe to the bathroom. I decide to take a bath this time. As I'm adjusting the temperature my husband come in and smacks my bare bottom. I wirl around and splash him with a bit of water in the process. We both burst into fits of laughter.

After we calmed down and I finished filling the tub, complete with bubbles we found in dispensers on the wall right above the tub, I reach over to the controls on the wall and turn the jets on. We then enter the bath together as it is big enough for the both of us.

2 hours later:

All clean and dressed we decide to order breakfast before we go out and explore the Island a bit. I order the eggs Benedict with a fresh fruit bowl and a caramel iced latte and Jack is ordering French toast with eggs and bacon and orange juice.

The food arrives in no time at all and we decide to eat on the balcony. Just as we're finishing eating and enjoying the view someone knocks on the door.

I go to answer it this time as Jack cleans up our plates and puts them on the serving cart. I open the door to see no one there, just a letter sitting on the welcome matt. After Jack wheels the cart out into the hallway and we close the door, we go and sit on the loveseat to read the letter.

I open the letter carefully with the letter opener that's sitting in a cup of pens on the coffee table. The first line nearly makes me drop it.

"Dear Mrs. Cade,

You are going to die. You've stolen the life that should have been mine and you WILL pay for it with your life. Just when you think that I am just messing with you and you allow yourself to enjoy your honeymoon, I will strike.

Enjoy it while it lasts because your days are numbered. JACK IS MINE!!!"

Jack takes the letter out of my trembling hands and reads it. "there's no signature," he picks up the envelope "and the envelope is unmarked."

He walks over and picks up the phone "Hello, yes this is room 240. I demand to know who requested this letter to be delivered to us?!" pause " what do you mean you have no idea what I'm talking about? Someone left a threatening letter on our welcome matt and this is the second note we've gotten! Now, whoever it is, it's not funny!" longer pause, " You're sure?" pause, " Okay, no, there's no need for police. Yes, please see that you look into the matter properly. Thank you madam for your time and consideration." He hangs up the phone and starts dialing someone else, " Jake!! What is the meaning of this!?" pause "The cryptic notes! What do you think I'm talking about?!" pause " You mean you didn't send us threatening prank messages to get back at us?" pause " Okay, my mistake. I apologize for the assumption." pause, "I don't know who's sending them and it's really freaking me out, what if it's her? How would she have found me?" longer pause, " you're right, maybe I'm over reacting a bit. Goodnight Jake." He hangs up the phone on the second call and turns towards me. "It's probably nothing, the hotel is going to check the cameras and look into it. Let's not let it ruin our honeymoon."

"Okay, Jack. Let's go then."
