Cross PovIt was a delight to watch my wife grow bigger and bigger with our baby each day that turned into weeks and then months, we returned back to New York temporarily, spent just two weeks, and went back home to Arizona, we both decided it was better to start a family back home in Arizona, Max who had been the runaway kid soon became the new me as dad instructed him to go learn how to run the company, of course, the poor guy didn't want to, I couldn't blame him but after talking to him, he decided to eventually go but he firmly told Dad that he had no intentions of running the company so even though I was back home in Arizona, I still had the major post there and still went there for important meetings and business dealings, Katherine and I moved out of the mansion as I didn't want to keep leaving in my parent's house, I wanted a home for us, and we both got a beautiful, not so bigger but homey house in a calm environment in Arizona, everything was just going fine for us, this was
Kathy PovIt took a while for me to adjust to the life without my baby, no I couldn't adjust, I still cried at night, I still blamed myself and I don't think I will ever get over the feeling of loss, Ginna had been right about one thing, she left an unforgettable wound that time was doing nothing to heal, not even seeing Ginna and Louis getting sentenced helped no, it's being over four months since the incident but it was still fresh in my memory, especially when I think about the fact that I would have been huge with child now almost getting ready for delivery."Baby?"Cross called, Cross, he has been an angel, my only constant aside from our family, we were still in Arizona and I didn't plan on returning to New York anytime soon, I had trauma, for me New York was a bad place where I only had bad memories, here in Arizona I could at least be comfortable, I had my both families and also Anna's twins, they were a source of joy to me, a glimpse of what it would have been like if my baby
Cross Pov"Doctor, when is my wife going to wake up? It's been over four days,"I asked the doctor, who didn't seem to have an answer, hearing that our baby was no more was the sadness thing I have ever heard, it brought me down on my knees, I cried my eyes out that day for the chance u had and lost, if only I had gotten to Katherine earlier, we wouldn't have lost our baby and my wife wouldn't still be asleep after four whole days, that day had been the worst days of my life, first having to watch the peramedics work on Kathy and bring her to the hospital, to waiting for the doctor to come and give me news and when the news finally came my worst nightmare had been confirmed, they couldn't do anything to save our baby as whatever Ginna had done couldn't be undone, in that moment, I felt like killing some one, felt liking making Ginna pay for everything with her blood, she has been arrested, that was all I knew for now, Louis who had turned himself in at the last moment had told the pol
Kathy's PovI woke up to strong pain, my whole lower abdomen hurt, I looked around the room for Pearl, she wasn't there, where could she have even, I saw her before I went to sleep, fearing for her safety, I tried to get up but the pain was getting out of hand, my whole lower abdomen hurt and my baby was in distress, I tried to shout and call for help but I couldn't get much out as I was weak from struggling with Ginna last night, she had come after they both left after talking to Cross and had tried to force me to drink whatever she was giving e, I didn't know what it was but I knew what she was doing, I figured it out, she didn't have a problem with me but my baby, she was trying to kill my baby, I couldn't let her do that even though she had succeeded in giving some of that stuff again.I looked around the room wishing for a miracle to come by."You are awake?"Louis said entering the room, he didn't look happy or anything like he was after the call with Cross, maybe he and Ginna f
Cross POVThe next morning, I was up early, I didn't want to waste any time, the plan we had seemed good and easy enough, I wanted my wife back, this morning I had to call my parents ad hers, I couldn't keep it from them anymore, they deserved to know what's going on with us, I called my mom first."Son, what's going on, you never call me,""Mom, it's Kathy, she has been kidnapped,"I revealed as the tears started again, I couldn't just seem to get the tears from coming."What? When did that happen?""About four days ago,""And you are just telling me, Cross what did you think you are doing? Why didn't you tell us as soon as it happened?""Mom, I am sorry, I didn't want you guys to worry,""Well, we would be whether you tell us now or later, what did I tell you about keeping things to yourself?""I am sorry mom,"I replied, I felt guilty for not telling them sooner, I should have listened to Dean and just told them."Are you okay? Have you had any information? We will be in New York
Cross PovIt's been three days, three whole days, and still no news of Katherine, I was slowly dying inside, I felt like this was all my fault, I was the one that brought Ginna back into her lives, and Louis that bastard came with Ginna if only I had not associated with Ginna, the police went over to Ginna's house again but they didn't find anything, they have long declared them as suspects, they didn't call, if they called I would have given them all the money they requested for just so they can give me back my wife but no call, nothing, my living room was filled with people again, Marilyn, Dean, Grace and the police officers, they showed up earlier today and had been here for a while, we have been going over all the stuff we have gone through before to see if we left out anything but there was nothing, nothing at all, there was no clue as to where they might have taken Katherine, and until they called we couldn't even make any move, it was furstrating and nerve wrecking, if these pe
Kathy Pov"Good morning, it's time to start,"Ginna announced as she entered the room that Pearl and I have been kept, Pearl was still not awake and I was beginning to worry for her, I tried waking her up when they had untied me to give me food last night but she didn't respond, at least she was breathing fine, I hope she wakes up soon."What do you want from me Ginna?"I asked eyeing her, it wasn't as if I was scared of her, she was the one scared because if she wasn't she won't have had me tied if only I could take off this damn piece of rope."You find out real soon, but first the conversation, you remember? We were having one the other day,"She replied I remember what she was on about."What about that?""You wanted to know how you ruined my life remember? Well, I will tell you just how I am going to ruin your own life, don't worry, you will make it out of here alive, I don't have any plans of killing you but then after I am done with you, I damn well sure you will wish you were
Cross PovI got home a little later than I expected, already anticipating growling for not keeping to my promise of coming home early, I tried to call Kathy though, but she didn't take her calls, it was nothing new as I was used to her not taking her calls, I went straight to our room ready to see her pout and frame anger, I opened the door but she wasn't in our room."Baby?"I called going over to the restroom, she wasn't there either, the toon looked just like it did when we left this morning, I know because I was the last person to leave the room, I went downstairs to the kitchen thinking she might be there with Nora but no one was in the kitchen, I went to the garden where she usually goes to cool off, but again she wasn't there."Where is she?"I asked myself walking to the staff quarters, the possibility of her being there was low but since I couldn't find her anywhere in the house I had to check, I met Kris and Betty there."Betty, have you seen my wife?""No, sir, she hasn't c
Kathy PovI bang the door loudly as I angrily walked into my mom's room and she turned to look at me with an annoyed expression but I was much too angry to care."Young lady what do you want and why can't you knock before entering? Have you forgotten your manners?"She asked, I didn't even bother to answer."Mom, what's the meaning of what dad just said to me? Why am I being sold off in the name of marriage?"Is that why you barged into my room like that? You should know already, it shouldn't be news to you since you were here when both of your sisters got married to men the family chose for them and they are both doing well, yours won't be different my dear,""Mom, I am not my sister and besides I am just twenty-three I still have a lot of time, I am not ready for marriage now and as you know I have a boyfriend who I love and I don't wanna leave him and marry someone I don't know or care to know about, so please tell your husband to get off my case."My family was the worst family on...
