The Wretched Mistress

April was sitting in her study, staring at her desk. It had been just a week ago when Alex had informed her that he was getting a divorce.

Oddly enough, Francesca didn't made a fuss. Instead Alex told her that she was discussing stuff with him to get the divorce going. April didn't mind this, after all the two had a history together.

What concerns her the most, was the things on her desk. Her 'Sky's Book Cafe' was due to open within three weeks. But this couple of days, she had been receiving mails. It was directly sent to her cafe and was addressed to her. Funny thing is, there isn't any postage nor a return address.

Three of the mails was open, 4 was still left untouched. It had been so long and yet those people still found her.

She was now debating if she should tell Alex about it, but then Alex was already busy enough.

After the night that they had spent together, It seems that Alex encountered a huge problem at work. That was the other odd thing, he had to travel far again. The day he left, was the day she received the first letter.

Remembering it now, she could still feel her hands trembling. To sum it up right, it really wasn't a letter. Inside the small envelope, was a note and a picture.

Pictures of her horrible past, Her constant nightmares. The first note says 'Found you'. The second was 'Miss me?'. The third says 'Don't Forget'.

After that, she never opened it anymore. It gave her the creeps and an anxiety. The first time she opened it, it totally shook her core.

Luckily, she read it inside her room and was about to go to bed. She had another anxiety attack, this time it was horrible. She could almost hear the scene on the picture. She cried silently that night, hoping it was a mistake.

It wasn't. The next day, she received another one and another and another. It went on and on for a week. 1 Letter a day. Unfortunately, Alex didn't thought of screening her mails that was sent to the Cafe or else, she would've have seen this.

This days, She could barely keep her cool. You could say that her acting skill had upgraded, no one seems to noticed a thing. If there is, she could only say that she was anxious for her New Business.

It was normal for someone to get anxious, especially that its your first Business to open. So everyone just shrugged it off. She even thought about contacting that agency who tried recruiting her. To keep her mind off the letters, to keep her busy.

Since the cafe don't really need her to handle it herself. Plus she discovered that she had a knock for acting, this are only silly thoughts though. She could never picture herself up on the big screens.

She did a logical move though, she asked someone to install cctv near the front door. The mailbox was right near the door, so she didn't have to make an excuse out of it..

She found out through the videos that the sender was different each time. The first one was a bum, a taxi driver, a child, an old woman and so on. There was no distinct identity. As if they were just ordered to put the letters on the mailbox. It was the only logical explanation.

Someone knows her and her past. The only person she could think of, was the boss. The one who took her first and her constant nightmares.

This letters were definitely sent from hell, she thought.
