Haunting-Adeline

Chapter 14
The Manipulator
aya put some type of block on my phone to prevent further hacking.
While my brain kept circling back to the nudes, Daya’s concern was the
D
guy having access to my phone in general. He’d be able to see all my
messages, have access to my bank informa on, track my phone and find
me wherever I go.
It seems every day, my apprecia on for Daya grows. She gave me a sense
of safety I didn’t realize I was missing.
I’m going to have to propose to her soon or something.
S ll, I will never take another nude in my en re life, but that’s a small
price to pay in the grand scheme. I’ve decided to remove the camera from
my room to allow me at least some semblance of comfort. I’ll just have to
hold off on walking around the house naked un l something is done about
this creep.
Now, if only Arch’s best friends weren’t up my asshole, then maybe I’d
get an extra hour or two of sleep at night.
The rest of the day was spent in silence, both of us lost in our work.
While Daya did whatever she does, I pulled out every picture in this
house and picked through them. I’ve no idea what I’m actually looking for.
Maybe Gigi with another man besides my grandfather.
A er an hour of looking, I realized that she tended to write the names of
the people captured in the photo and the year on the back of each picture.
I searched for the name Ronaldo, but never found it.
“Halloween is coming up. We’re going to haunted houses this year,
right?” Daya asks. She’s standing at my front door, about to head home for
the night.
I give her a droll look. “Halloween is my en re life, Daya. Of course,
we’re going to fucking haunted houses.”
