Kathy Pov"I am going to get myself in trouble,"I thought as I woke up, with Cross's hands around me, once again I am the one who left my side of the bed, why can't I just stay where I am, why do I always want to hug him in my sleep, I gently tried to remove his hands from around me but he pulled me closer and held me a little tighter, making it impossible to move without waking him, thinking about it now, it was totally not my fault alone, even if I move from my side of the bed, did he have to hug me so close, he could just push me off."Both of us are sick,"I muttered trying again to get off his arms."Yeah, I agree, that would be the only reason why I like waking up with you in my arms,"He muttered back, great he was awake."You are awake? Now let go of me,""No, it's not yet morning, why are you such an early riser?""It's past five am already,""Still too early, not like we are going to work or anything, lets sleep for a little longer,"He said pulling me closer."Okay, five m
Cross PovI followed behind her as she walked angrily back to our hotel room, the turn of events happened so fast I didn't even have time to breathe, one moment we were in a car going to have fun and the next she was stopping the car so fast and jumping out, and all because she saw someone that looked like her ex, I understand her to need to find him but at the same time what are the chances that he is the one she saw? And my statement about her being married I knew I shouldn't have said that bug I'm still it the truth, I had to pay the taxi driver even though we were no longer leaving so I walked to where he was still parked."Hey, man, sorry change of plans, we are no longer leaving but I can pay you for your time,"I said bringing out some cash from my pocket, but he declined."Your wife looks like she needs your attention don't worry about the money,""How do you know she is my wife?""That's a silly question, the both of you are wearing a wedding band and also you are here in the
Kathy Pov"Wow, it's so beautiful,"I said looking at the firework display, it was our last night in the Bahamas and I suddenly didn't want this to end, but it was going to end because we have an early flight back to New York tomorrow, I had a great time here and lots of memories that I have stored away, and I am going to remember for a long long time and also, I found a new friend here, our time here is by far one of the best days of my life, excluding the part, I messed up yesterday, I wish I hadn't done that but he said it okay, even though we didn't get to go to Cat island again, I promised myself that if we celebrate one year together then I will bring us back here and make sure he does everything he wanted, but I am not really sure we will still be together by this time next year, maybe we would go our separate ways."Enough" I scolded myself allowing myself to get back to enjoying this moment, who cares what tomorrow brings when we have today, whatever the next day will bring,
Cross Pov"Are sure you don't want me to at least come with you just for today?"I asked as we sat in the car on our way to the school."You don't have to, I can find my way around myself, and also this is not the first time I am switching majors,""What? What were you studying initially?""Business but I gave that up for psychology, now I wanna do what my heart really wants me to do and that's interior designing, don't worry I won't go missing,"She said strapping on her seatbelt."Wow, what a lady, I guess you would have already been graduating, I hope you don't change your mind again,""I won't don't worry, this is what I want to do for real,""Okay, I hope you have everything you need?""Yes, I do,""Okay if you say so, let's go then,"I replied as I zoomed off in the direction of the school."I will see you later in the day, you promised to rest after you get home, so better keep that promise,"I said as we made a stop inside the New york school of interior design, we got in late
Cross PovI was finally able to finish all the get off work by after eight in the evening, my dad that went on about me having assistants and all, he needed to see the number of works that were left for me in just a short time that I was away, I stretched my body in tiredness, Katherine still didn't call me, I wondered if she did everything she had to do and got back home okay, I wanted to call her but I remembered I told her to call me if anything goes wrong since she didn't call means everything was okay, I didn't want to appear clingy, I hated the thought of that.I picked up my coat and laptop bag as I made my way out of the office, it was already so late that almost everyone else have left the building execpt for a few people that were pulling an all nighter, I said hello to all and wished them go night before leaving the office complex, I was so tired and feeling jet-leg compound with the fact that I haven't gotten up since I got to the office, I stretched my legs more as I got
Kathy Pov"Do you have classes this weekend?"Cross asked as I brushed my hair, I turned to face him, he was putting on his wristwatch, he looked so handsome in his black trousers, matching black shoes, and a plain white sleeve, his hair was brushed up in a wavy style that made him look so hot, yup my husband was a hottie and I couldn't help but drool."Are you going to answer me or are you going to stare at me all day?"He asked and I rolled my eyes before going back to getting ready."Why? Wanna take me out on a date?"I asked playfully, I knew that wasn't it, we have been together for almost two months now, we were cool, but we have never been out together, we did every other thing normal couples do aside from the dates and the 'I love you,' Cross has been nice to me, he wasn't what I thought he was, yes he was kind of controlling and annoying but when I call him out on it, he apologizes and tries not to do it again, my life has pretty much been going well since I moved to New York
Cross PovI tried to get my works done without thinking about what happened earlier at home but it just kept coming back to my mind, I wondered what I did to make her upset, one moment we were cool, and the next we are fighting, I couldn't help but think that I said something that might have offended her and instead of staying to find out I left her at home, some kind of husband I am, my mom would probably beat me up if she hears about this.My birthday was coming up this Friday and I wanted us to spend the weekend together, I already rented a cabin house in finger lakes, right now I don't know if that's gonna happen again, I really wanted us to go out, I tried thinking back to our discussion to find out where I went wrong but nothing clicked, I just couldn't pinpoint what pissed her off which made me moodier, lately, we have been peaceful and coexisting just fine, I have gotten used to having her around, her in my bed every waking moment, I just didn't like the thought of us fighting
Kathy PovI woke up to his touch, I had slept off waiting for him, I opened my eyes and there he was, his hands in mine and the other on my face, I just kept looking at him."Why did you take so long to come back home? I have been waiting for you,"I finally said sitting up."Sorry baby, I needed to clear my head,"He called me baby, does that mean we are cool?"I thought you weren't going to come back home today because of what happened earlier,"I said as I stood up, rubbing off sleep from my eyes, when I saw his missed call that afternoon I had called back but he didn't pick up, so I felt he was mad at me for not taking his calls."Why won't I come home,""Are you drunk?""No,""You sound like you are though,""I am not, I just had a few drinks with Dean,""Oh,""Yeah, are you still mad at me?""I was never mad at you,""But earlier today,""I am sorry about that, I promise it's not you, it was all me,""Uh, I thought I said something to piss you off,""You didn't, I am sorry I rea
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
