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"Hey, baby? What are you doing?"Cross asked as he walked into our room, I smiled brightly as he kissed me softly."Taste so good,"I replied as he pulled me off where I sat and placed me on his lap."What's up with my favorite girl today?""Hmm, nothing, I have just been here missing you so much,"I replied holding his face, we have been living in utter bliss for the past one month we have been in Arizona, yes we stayed for over a month, sadly we were leaving by Sunday which was just two days away, I have to return to school while Cross has to go back to work, even though the company has been running smoothly without him, he still needed to be there, a lot have happened this past one month, my siblings and I got closer again, I made up with Juliet who was gonna move to New York soon, Nelson and Jenn finally got married after the many postponement, Nathan got back in terms with our family, Anna and Max made up even though they were still having fights, Max was returning to S
Cross Pov"Can't you stay a little longer Crossie? I don't want you to leave,"Anna protested."Anna, I have to work and Kathy has to go to school, don't worry we will come back during weekends,"I said pulling her in for a hug, she wasn't convinced though because she kept protesting."I don't trust you on that, that's what you said the last time and it took me almost giving birth for you to show up, I don't want the next time we meet to be on my kids' graduation,"She exaggerated, I rolled my eyes as my beautiful wife and my mom walked in, I smiled at my baby, she looked stunning and had a bright smile on, every day she gets even more beautiful and every day I think God and my parents for bringing her to my life, she was everything."What's going on here?"My lady asked, and Anna pulled off our hug and went to hold Kathy instead."She doesn't want us to leave, she is being a crybaby, s mom who is a crybaby,"I teased."Leave her alone,"Max said entering the room, he was also leaving
Kathy Pov"I am home,"I announced as I walked into the house and before long my husband come running from upstairs, the dude dramatically raised me and twirled me around."Finally, I thought you were going to spend the whole day there, I was almost going to call her but decided not to since I don't wanna be an over clingy husband,"He voiced, I smiled at him and gave him a peck."Good boy, I had a lot to talk about with Marilyn and we went to get our nails done too,"I replied showing him my fingers, he held them and kissed them."Pretty, I made lunch,"He answered proudly."Really? Nora let you in the kitchen?""Yes, she helped too,""What did you make?""Spaghetti, meatballs and sauce,""Ohh, sounds delicious, let's go check it out,"I said as he walked with me into the kitchen, Nora smiled and greeted me."Your husband worked hard for the meal, he did a good job,"She revealed."That's cool, I can't wait to taste it,"I said sitting by the table, he sat next to me smiling brightly
Kathy Pov"Why are you doing this Louis? Just why? Haven't you done enough? You stole from me, left me with nothing, now you are back? How can you be so inhuman?"I asked, I couldn't believe how evil the man I once thought I loved was, how can he be so heartless? Why didn't I see through him? Now he was back in my life using the intimate moment that we shared in the past, moments that I didn't even know was been captured, he was filming me with motives and I didn't even know, I felt used, felt violated, felt angry, but at the end of the day there was nothing much I could do, I knew what he wanted."What do you want?""You know what I want Kathy princess, of course, I want money, as you might have known the one I got before is almost running out and I have suffered enough, I can't suffer more so, you do the needful or else these shits will hit the tabloid in no time, you know I just have to give them the photos with your face shown and your reputation and that of your families, I mean
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
