The change

Just before we could reach the beach house, I saw a familiar face waiting by the door. I couldn't recognize it at first, but as we got closer I knew it was him.

I stopped in my tracks and got scared after seeing his face. What was he doing here? And how did he know about my whereabouts?

I never did mention the beach house that my father has here. And no one in my inlaw's house was aware of it. Not even my husband.

"Is everything okay?" Christian asked worriedly as he noticed me standing frozen in fear.

"It's him..." I stared at him more hoping he would leave the front door.

"You know him?" Christian asked staring at the man at the front door.

"Yeah..." I wanted to run away but my feet won't move. "I don't even know how he knew about this place. I never once mentioned this to him."
