Kathy PovAs I sat at the restaurant waiting for her to show up, I thought of what I wanted to tell her, I wasn't the one who reached out so I didn't know what to say to her, what does one say to her husband's mistress? I didn't even know how to react to her yet, I will just wait to find out when she arrives, Cross has been calling my phone nonstop since about three hours ago but I didn't bother to take his call, I hadn't bother to go back home after I finished at the hospital and had just went around town, going into the hospital earlier for a proper test alone hadn't been exciting and the doctor confirmed that I was indeed pregnant and the fact that it was still in the early stages I shouldn't stress myself much or do anything hard to avoid a miscarriage, but the thing is I was already stressed, I know I should try and reduce stress and not meeting Ginna might help but I was too curious to not here what she had to say, I decided that whatever she says I won't let it get to me much,
Kathy PovI was woke by Cross's voice, it took a while to get up and I went to open the door without thinking, only when I had opened the door did my mind begin to process that I wasn't supposed to be talking to him, it was too late and I couldn't just shut the door in his face."What do you want?"I asked eyeing him"Why didn't you wake me up when you got back? Didn't you see my calls?""I saw them and choose to ignore and I don't recur us talking about telling each other where or when we are coming back home,"I said wanting him gone so that I can go back to sleep."Kathy, can you please not do this?""Do what? I haven't done anything here, you are the one that woke me up from sleep, and bet you I am so fucking tired so please,""You should have woken me up when you got home, I was worried about you,""Are you sure? Or were you worried Ginna spilled your secrets the more because I met her, and I guess she might have told you since you told her we are getting a divorce,""Yes, she sp
Unknown Pov"What did I tell you about making a rash decision Ginna?"I shouted at her, she has been hiding from me since yesterday when she had gotten back from seeing Katherine even though I had warned her not to make any rash decision but the bitch was been led by her emotions and by the fact that the man she wanted to reject her and if I am not careful, she will make a decision that will get us both in trouble."What would you have me do? If I don't get Cross how am I supposed to get money from him, you are the one that suggested the play that lead to us having issues, if you had just let me be Cross's friend then we would still have been getting money from him, I don't know what you are thinking when you decided we should do that,"She replied. I couldn't blame her either, I knew I made a mistake too I had been betting on the fact that Cross still had feelings for Ginna, I didn't know the bastard would pick his wife over her if I knew I would have stuck to the original plan and w
Cross Pov"Are you okay? Do you need anything?"I asked as we sat on the plane going back home, but she ignored me like she has been doing since our earlier conversation at home, at least she agreed to go home with me, and she was going to stay with my parents too, I had been surprised when she had said that, she had even told my mom about how she knew how much I want to be home before Anna gives birth, I had been already looking for excuses to give but she had saved the day, I had expected her to be madder at me after she met with Ginna, but the reverse was the case, even though she wasn't talking to me right now, she spoke to me last night and even let me share a bed with her, which was progress and also she sat in the car with me on the ride to the airport and didn't shout at me when I touched her either, and she hadn't talked about divorce, all she had told me this morning was that she didn't want our parents knowing we had a fight which I was okay with, I didn't want them knowing
Kathy Pov"Cross, can you tell him to stop? I feel nauseous,"I let out, gripping onto Cross's hand, I had been happy that I didn't feel sick during the flight here but I guess it came late cuz I was about to throw up in this car if the driver doesn't stop soon."Hey, stop the car,"I heard Cross say and the car came to a stop by the roadside, I rushed out just in time as I emptied the contents of my stomach."Hey baby girl, are you okay?"Cross asked standing beside me and patting my back."Do I look okay to you?"I shouted at him, removing his hands from my back in annoyance, spit out, and eyed him."I am sorry, I don't know what to do or say,""Fine, get me water,""Can you get us water please?"He asked the driver who looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here, I rolled my eyes when Cross handed the water over to me, I washed my mouth with it before drinking some and handing the empty bottle over to him, I left him there, I didn't care what he did with the waste, I just wanted
*****The next couple of days were quite busy in the house, everyone was so hyped for Anna giving birth, she was moved to the hospital today since her due date was Friday which was the day after tomorrow, I could finally visit my family after four days of being in Arizona, it's not like I couldn't go since but I didn't want to go alone and Cross had been busy taking care of some work related stuff, compound with the fact that I was weak for the first two days, now sitting in our shared bedroom, I texted my older sister that we were ok our way, we were all gonna meet at my parent's house and they were already there, Nathan included since he has been living with our parents since he returned, I didn't know what to expect from our meeting, the last time we had all been in the same room was when Nathan had said he was leaving and since then the four of us have never been together at the same time, we use to be so close, and I wondered if we could go back to the way we were."What are you
Kathy Pov"Oh my God, Katherine, it is so good to have you here,"My sister Nora screamed coming to hug me, all the awkwardness I thought I would feel vanished and a warm feeling took over my body, I didn't know just how much I missed my family until I got to our mansion and the first person to welcome me was Nora, the others started coming out too and we exchanged hugs, I looked around for the one I haven't seen in a while."Where is Nathan?"I asked when I didn't see him."He went out, said he will back soon, he left about ten minutes ago,"Nelly explained."I hope he is not trying to hide from me? He has a lot to answer for,"I said as we all entered the house."Nanny isn't here anymore so where is Dad? And mom?"They are in a meeting, and will be out soon,"Jenn my brother's wife to be said, she looked pregnant to me but I didn't ask because we weren't really close, Cross looked like he wanted to be anywhere but here, he looked lost."Are you okay?"I whisper asked him."Yeah, jus
Cross PovI froze, of all the things I had thought Ginna had talked to Kathy about it never crossed my mind that it will be about the kid that we almost had."What? Is that too hard to answer? That's what I wanna know though, it's okay if you don't want to tell me,"She said and stood up to walk away, I held her hand."Hey, don't go, of course, I will tell you, I don't want to keep anything from you anymore Kathy, if this is what you wanna know then I am going to tell you,"I said and she sat back down looking at me expectantly, I didn't even know where to start from so I decided to just go from the beginning."Ginna and I met when I was Eighteen and she was sixteen, she was working a part-time job at a tub my friends and I always visited, we didn't hit off immediately though because when we met she had been dating one of the boys, but they broke up and we started dating three months later, that was about eight months after we met, but then mom and dad didn't like her and didn't want
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
