Cross PovWhat the fuck?"I screamed as the car came to a sudden stop, making me hit my head against the car seat, I looked up wondering why the driver suddenly stopped."What happened?""Sir a lady, she.."He seemed to be in shock, I looked up as the said lady fell to the ground, I panicked that moment, fearing he might have hit her but I couldn't remember hearing the car hit something."Did you hit her?"I asked as I got out of the car, he followed, he didn't hit her though, she might have fainted from the shock, great now I have to cancel my flight again and land at the hospital for a second time within two weeks, remind me not to come back to Arizona, at least he didn't hit her, I helped carry her and told him to get on the car, a few people were watching us but no one came to help, as expected, I checked her pulse to make sure she was okay, she seemed to be normal but I wasn't a professional so I couldn't really tell."Please hurry up dude, I don't want someone to die on me,""Th
Kathy Pov"What did you say?"I asked even though I heard him perfectly the first time, I didn't trust him, was he going to make me come with him and then kill me? Or he was just mocking me, this wasn't the Cross that I remembered though, he has changed a lot in both appearance and the way he talks, the Cross I knew before would have told the driver to bring me to the hospital and maybe got on a taxi to get to the airport.'Well, he didn't know who you were,'My mind said and I agreed but still, he looked more approachable and was even talking to me."I said come with me to New York, on second thought don't, I don't need to deal with you anyway, you are not having the best time of your life right now so that's enough punishment,"He said."Why? Don't you want me to suffer more?""Well you are suffering right now, and it doesn't look like it will get better for you any time soon, do you even have a place to sleep?""None of your business, so can I go now?""Hmm, yeah, right after you c
Cross Pov"Anything?"I asked again."Yes, anything,"She replied, she looked like she was hopeless for real because that would be the only reason she is begging me to take her back, I thought about it hard, I didn't have anything to ask for now, but I think if I think hard enough I will figure it out."Well, I was going to marry you anyway even though I didn't want the marriage either, so I will think of something and you said anything right?"She seemed to be rethinking her options, I waited for her to go back on her words but she nodded in agreement."I wanna hear it again, I will record it just in case you decide to pull a fast one on me,"I said as I brought out my phone and tapped on the video record."Now say it again from the beginning while looking at the camera.""Do I have to? It looks childish though,""That's not up to you to decide little witch,""First of all I am not little, secondly I am not a witch,"She answered."How old are you?""Non..**""Okay, no need for the d
Kathy PovEven after Cross left, I still couldn't get over the shock of how fast things turned, like one moment I was sure he was gonna say, no, but the next moment he comes up with so weird reasons to why he will help me, I still didn't know what he wanted in return of helping me but what was even more shocking was how he defended me in front of my mom, I couldn't believe what I was hearing and that those things were coming from him, I still didn't like him or trust him but I was thankful."What did you say to him and how did you even meet him?"My mom asked bring me out of my thoughts, I looked over to her and she was watching me with curious eyes, she looked like a total stranger to me, I still can't believe it was so easy for her to cut me off."I just told him I was sorry and asked him to give me a second chance and he agreed,"I said, there was no need for her to know the rest part,that was between me and Cross."Just like that?""Yes, just like that, he knows I am human and tha
Cross Pov"Bro, get your ass up and go take your bath, it's your wedding day,"Dean said shaking me out of sleep."Fuck off dude, let me sleep,""Get your ass off the bed, you are going to be late,""What time is it?""Hmm, five am,""What the fuck Dean? the wedding is by ten am and that's five hours away, so let me sleep,"I said, covering my head with my pillow but he took the pillow away and poured a glass of cold water on me."What the fuck dude?"I asked getting off the bed and giving him deadly stares, I knew I shouldn't have let him come but he was the only close friend I had, so he had to come, Max who would have filled in as a best man is off attending some weird ass show in South Asian, he wasn't even going to be around for my supposed wedding."Now we are awake, time to get ready, early to rise, early to**""Get the fuck out, I hate you dude, Katherine might not even be awake yet, and she has more preparation to do, leave me alone,"I said cutting him off, he smiled which m
Kathy PovI stared at my wedding dress again, I have been standing there and watching for about twenty minutes, lost in my thoughts, after today, there is no going back, after today, I will be a married woman whether I liked it or not, loveless marriage to a man who has been turning everything I know about upside down, I didn't know what I expected before but it most certainly wasn't the way he was behaving, he called me two days ago, he had been drunk anyway but still he asked how I was feeling, I had not known how to respond to him.My dress is a beautiful white dress with sea blue Pearls that catches my eye, I traced my hands through the beautiful dress trying to get my head around everything, I stared at the pale simple band that was around my fingers, I liked the fact that it wasn't anything extra, by the end of today I will have another band."You can do it, Kat,"I said to myself."Kathrine? Have you dressed already?"My nanny asked walking into the room, my old nanny had come
Kathy PovI stared down at my hands, my heart racing as we got closer to the chapel that we were using for the wedding, I felt like throwing up, I was that nervous, I couldn't even pinpoint why I was nervous, but I was, my hands were sweaty and I felt chills, maybe I was making a mistake by marrying Cross, maybe I should have tried and worked this out myself, maybe I would still be able to make it."Hey, are you okay?"Anna asked, she was in the car with me, she looked so pretty with her baby bump, I always loved to be a mother but I have never thought about it much, now that I was getting married, would I get pregnant and give birth too?"Cut it out Kathy, this is not a real marriage,"I mentally scolded myself, Cross already said we weren't gonna sleep together so I am not going to have his baby."You are nervous right?""Yeah, a little,""I don't know what to say, but it will be fine, I kind of understand how you feel, but Crosse is a nice guy, so you don't have to be scared,"She
Cross Pov"Hey, are you okay?"I asked her as she came back from the restroom but she didn't answer me, she just sat down."What happened?"I asked again."Please dont ask me, go ask the woman who is supposed to be your bride,"She said in a low voice but knew who she was talking about, as I looked around, I saw her among the guest and stood up."I am coming, and when I come back we are leaving,"I said to her and left."What do you want Dolly? Why are you here in Arizona? Why can't you just take a hint and fuck off?"I asked as I dragged Dolly to the other side of the reception hall, away from people, I had seen her when she came in but had ignored thinking she will behave herself but I was wrong, she spoke with Katherine, not like I had to explain to her but she hadn't looked happy with the confrontation, I knew instantly that Dolly had spoken to her."Let go of me Cross, you are hurting me,""I told you to stay the fuck away from me so why are you stalking me? And what did you tell
Kathy Pov"What did I ever do to deserve you and our little ones? This is too much, I couldn't have done anything to deserve this much joy and happiness,"Cross, let out. we were in our baby's nursery putting the twin to bed, exactly two months after their birth, they were healthy and growing so beautifully."You deserve it all My love, even if you think you don't, you do,""God, I am so blessed,""We too,""I love you, My baby,""I love you more, now shush, we need to get these little ones to sleep I want their dad all to myself until they wake up,"These passed two months have been both fun and hectic, for a kid it would be hard but there were two of them, I wonder just how Anna could take caring for two kids, sometimes it gets do overwhelming, sometimes it will be so easy but most time it not, thank God I had more help and so did Anna, if not I don't think we could have done it on our own, Anna gave me lots of lessons, my mother inlaw, sisters and mother did too, they all had exper
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
