Cross PovI stared at her as she bounced towards the exit of the airport where the taxi taking us to our hotel was parked, we literally just had an over five hours flight and she look so cheerful and blissful, I didn't know what was running through her mind, she hasn't said a word to me since we got on the plane from Arizona, and even after we landed, she waited for me to get off before she did, I didn't recur our contract stating that we don't have to talk to each other."Kathrine, slow down,"I said when she started moving faster but she didn't stop, she just kept moving until she got to the car and entered."What the fuck is wrong with you? I told you to slow down, what if this isn't the car we are entering? Don't you know it is dangerous to walk off on your own?"I asked in anger as I entered the car, I couldn't believe she doesn't have the common sense to know what she ought to do and not to do."I thought you said not to talk to you, and also I am not dumb, I heard when you spok
Kathy PovI singsonged into the room, having the best time of my life despite the moron who couldn't say no to his mom disturbing my life, but I was glad he didn't tell her no, I have had so much about the Bahamas but never have I thought it would be this beautiful, I have always felt it was I overrated, how wrong I have been, the place is beautiful, from the airport way to our hotel in the Nassau Paradise, it was beautiful with tall trees and elegant buildings, the ocean right next to our hotel, the view, everything was just so heartwarming, I was so lost in the view, I wish I lived here, I would go sightseeing every day and I will take a bath in the ocean and sunbathe in the sun, it would be heavenly and I only had one week to enjoy it, I already made up my mind that I will come back here soon and spend at least one whole month."Hey, Katherine,"He called when we entered the room, okay this looks better than a normal hotel room, it looked more like a mini apartment"Yes, what is it
Kathy PovI woke up the next morning with much excitement, I hurriedly took a bath and ate breakfast while waiting for my 'husband' to sluggishly get up and do those things too, but the moron, yeah I am stuck into calling him a moron in my head for a long time, I hope he doesn't find out though, so the moron was still lazing around in bed, I woke up to find myself in his arms, and had hurriedly removed myself, it was me who left my side of the bed so I couldn't call him out on it, thankfully he wasn't aware, I plan on having fun and making the most of this one week, I picked up my phone and googled the best place to visit in Nassau and I wrote down the places that caught my eyes, I know I can't visit all but I would try, I hoped he will come along but if he doesn't I will go alone, can't miss out the fun because of a boring husband.He finally got out of bed by nine am and went to take his bath and while he was there I ordered breakfast for him."Nice of you to think of feeding me,"
Cross PovI watch her play in the waters, she looked so excited like a child who was on holiday in Santa land for the first time, she has been that way for the last two days, she smiled every moment, I might not have liked the idea of this whole honeymoon in the first place but looking at her right now, I am glad I let my mom talk me into coming, she looked nothing like the girl I met at the hospital, a few weeks ago, in fact, that memory seemed to have faded away, it seemed like a long time ago, I smiled as I remembered the look on her face when she had woken up in my arms this morning, even though she had made a barricade, she had been the one to leave her side of the bed so she didn't say a word, I liked having her sleep in my arms better than I thought, in fact, I never thought I would like it."Are you sure you don't wanna come into the water, it's so fresh and smoothing, you are missing a lot,"She called, I waved at her to continue, we have been okay for the last two days, cont
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
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
