Kathleen had gone to visit Michael Deloux, the old man seemed sober and she decided to ask him who gave him the dose back there in the other facility and his description of the culprit only confirmed her thoughts, it was Nicole, she was behind this, why would she do that? She decided on a whim to pay Nicole a visit, she had to find out her motive for doing such. Nicole was still staying in the house that was gifted to Kyle by Derek, she opened the door just as Kathleen was about to knock, "well, well, look who is here" she smirked as soon as she opened the door and saw Kathleen, her eyes going cold, she stared at Kathleen with so much hate that Kathleen shivered, " what are you doing here?" She hissed at Kathleen, ignoring her, Kathleen pushed her way in, " I am here to know what you will gain if Derek's father relapsed"
"I don't understand what you mean by that, please, leave my house"Of cause, you know what I'm talking about and I'm not leaving here until I get an answeDerek dashed down the stairs, taking it two at a time, he ran into Mary who was carrying drinks to the sitting room, spilling it all over him, she would have fallen if he hadn't held her by the shoulders to steady her, "I'm sorry" he quickly apologized. She observed him for a second, "is everything okay Sir? You look pale" Derek shook his head, his head pounding furiously in his chest, "I just got a call that my wife is in city memorial hospital, she's been shot""What!" She gasped, completely dropping the tray holding the glasses of juice and tears immediately brimming in her eyesWithout waiting for Mary's response, he dashed off and heard her vaguely saying to him to change his clothes and also Marcella running towards her and asking her what happened, without beckoning to his driver, he got into the driver's seat and drove away.He wasn't allowed to go into Kathleen's room when he got to the hospital as she has been prepared for surgery, he watched Kathleen throug
Kathleen was happy that she would soon be home, the doctor had told her that she would be discharged later in the day, she had missed Derek and although he was never scarce in the hospital, she had missed cuddling up with him at night and waking up in his arms, Derek had told her the previous day that his father has improved a great deal and would be home anytime soon, she smiled when she thought about her father-in-law coming back home, he had been unstable and immobile since she got married to Derek, she was happy she would finally meet him in good state of mind. Her thoughts wandered to Marcella and Dave and her face darkened, as far as they are in that house, they'll always pose a threat but she doesn't think Michael Deloux would let Marcella off the hook that easily this time around, Nicole had been sent to prison and she believed very soon Marcella would join her there, they deserved to pay for all their crimes.The man in the room besides Kathleen watched as she was pi
Derek struggled to open his eyes, there were buzzes and lots of noise, he opened his eyes and squinted against the daylight, he vaguely realized that he was moving and people were surrounding him, he was on a stretcher and soon he was placed inside an ambulance, someone must have informed the police, Kathleen, those men have taken her, he tried to sit up but fell back as his eyes shut, trying to withstand the pain he was feeling on his head, "please don't try to move, you're greatly injured" a medic tried to hold him down, "Kathleen.. " he tried to pronounce her name but his mouth was too heavy to obey him, he was drifting and he fought against the wave, he had to get to Kathleen, "find Kathleen" he rasped before the darkness dragged him under. "I told you not to do anything to Derek" Marcella's angry voice made the men shift on their feet with their heads bowed, she had met with them after they had taken Kathleen to where she had instructed them, she was furious, if a
It's been two days since Derek had returned from the hospital, he thought about the day Kathleen was abducted and his heart constricted painfully, he had lost three people so close to him in one day, his driver had died that day and Geoffrey, although still alive may never be able to walk again and Kathleen, God, she is now in an unknown destination, perhaps dead, but he doesn't want to think of her dead, she has to be alive, that's the only way he could live, without her, there's no life. He has been called from the rehab center to go and pick up his father, it would have been an I deed memorable and joyous day if only Kathleen was around but he felt hollow and empty inside, he was good for nothing because he wasn't able to protect her. the police were trying their best but he couldn't help but feel that they are wasting so much time in bringing his wife back to him, he has to do something, he has to find her but where could he start from? He was on his way to get his old man when
Derek was blindfolded by a man as soon as he got to the address and was led into the building, the blindfold was removed when he was inside and the sight that befell him made his heart sink, he, first of all, saw just the gun pointed at Kathleen's head, his eyes traveled the arms that held the gun and anger lit his eyes, "Dave? How dare you?" He whispered furiously and took a step towards him but he was kicked hard by the man who brought him in and he fell in his face, "this is no time for you to get angry son" Marcella's voice said from behind him a split secondbefore she came into view, "you're behind the kidnapping?" Derek whispered unable to believe what was before him, "how dare you" he gritted"I dare" she replied furiously, "and you must do everything I say if you want to keep her alive"What do you want?" He stared at Marcella angrily and she smiled, "now you're talking" she brought out some papers and threw at him, "it's simple, sign these documents st
Kathleen sat in front of her mirror, fully clad in her wedding dress as she observed her pale expression, it's her wedding day yet she looked so sad, doubts whirl in her mind, she's getting married to the most upright and perfect guy in the universe, well to everyone, he's a saint, even her parents see him as a demigod and her chance of a lifetime, she had tried on several occasions that Dave is no saint but they would hear nothing about it, her dad had even threatened to disown her if she so much as do anything that will sabotage her marriage with Dave, he is Rich, handsome and charming and would bring them out from their poverty state, he has so blinded her parents that none sees her desire nor do they care about what she wants. Dave was every lady's dream but he was simply not hers because she has seen him in his true form, he might have been her dream also but she knows better, she knows he is a wolf in sheep's clothing, her mind flashed back to when she
Kath had opened her eyes to see her mom at her side, she tried sitting up but her mom rushed to her side to stop her, " what happened, where am I?"" thank God you're awake" her mother cried, " Dave told us you has slipped and bang your head when you both went out yesterday".In a rush, Kath recalled all that happened the previous night, how Dave had beaten her till she had fainted, that liar, he had told her parents' different story."Mom, that wasn't what happened"" Shhhhh, you need to rest, do not talk now"Why wouldn't she let her speak, couldn't she see she was suffocating already in this relationship? At that moment, Dave walked in and she turned her head to the other side of the bed." How's she" he had asked as if concerned, " improving, she's awake" her mother replied" Thank goodness" he rushed to her side," I'll go get something outside" her mom left them alone and Kath felt tears run down from the corner of her eyes, her pa
The doctor came out from the room and both Kath and her mother ran to him, " doctor how's my father?"" He's okay, it's just a minor attack, he just needs his rest"Kath breath a sigh of relief, her mom hugged her with tear-filled eyes." I'll be on my way, for now, he should not be upset by anything," the doctor told them and she nodded, " thank you Doc"Both Kath and her mother went into the room when the doctor left, he opened his eyes when they entered," Don't cry dear" he rasped, looking at her teary mom when they entered, her mom wiped her eyes with the back of her palms and hugged him.Kathleen stood there lost for words," Dad, I'm sorry" she managed to gasp out from her already clogged throat. He glanced at her and turned his face away from her without acknowledging her, she moved towards him and her mother nodded in encouragement." If you're really sorry them you'll agree to keep Dave in your life" he turned towards her and

Kathleen had gone to visit Michael Deloux, the old man seemed sober and she decided to ask him who gave him the dose back there in the other facility and his description of the culprit only confirmed her thoughts, it was Nicole, she was behind this, why would she do that? She decided on a whim to pay Nicole a visit, she had to find out her motive for doing such. Nicole was still staying in the house that was gifted to Kyle by Derek, she opened the door just as Kathleen was about to knock, "well, well, look who is here" she smirked as soon as she opened the door and saw Kathleen, her eyes going cold, she stared at Kathleen with so much hate that Kathleen shivered, " what are you doing here?" She hissed at Kathleen, ignoring her, Kathleen pushed her way in, " I am here to know what you will gain if Derek's father relapsed""I don't understand what you mean by that, please, leave my house"Of cause, you know what I'm talking about and I'm not leaving here until I get an answe
Kàthleen went downstairs the next morning for breakfast to see only Dave seated on the table, she immediately turned to go back in but before she could take two steps, he was fast to go round the table and stood in front of her, blocking her exit."Get out of my way" she gritted"Or else what? He smirked taking two steps towards her and she unconsciously moved backward, he kept coming on to her and she kept moving until her back touched the table, "what the hell do you think you're doing Dave?"What does it seem like?" He asked bringing his head closer to her, she placed her palms on his chest and pushed, fuming in anger, she docks and slide out from beneath him and had almost made her escape but his hand quickly snaked out and dragged her back, forcefully placing his lips on hers, Kathleen bit down on it so hard that she drew blood, he yelped in pain as he pushed her away, Kathleen spat out the blood, heaving furiously and she stared at him through narrowed ey
Kàthleen couldn't have heard it wrong, could she? His wife? So he had gone ahead and married her once best friend, she felt pain in her heart as old wounds were opened, ever since she had run away on her wedding day, she hadn't allowed herself to think about it and hadn't asked about anyone from her past, so she had absolutely no idea that Tasha was married to Dave but in just a matter of days, ghosts from her past kept popping up, first it was her parents, then Dave and now Tasha. seeing Dave was enough to shake her but seeing Tasha, her once best friend who betrayed her was like a bitter pill she just couldn't swallow, she had trusted her and confided in her, she had seen Tasha like the sister she never had and had loved her but all she got for her trouble was a stab on her back, she watched as Tasha slowly sat close to Dave, tears unbiddenly welled in her eyes, she just couldn't take the pain, it was too much for her to bear, these shocks she had gotten, all in one day fin
Kathleen felt like she was sitting on a Ferris wheel as her head spun, "what are you doing here? She managed to gasp out and he looked at her mockingly, "visiting my family" she looked confused and stared at Derek who was also staring at her, his expression confused also, "you two know each other" they asked at the same time and Dave laughed out loud, amused at the situation, "well I can do the honor of clearing the confused air" he turned to Kathleen and smiled, "Derek Deloux here is my lovely bro and to you sweet brother, this lady here is my bride" he said simply and Kathleen flinched at his reference to her as his bride, "we didn't get married" she murmured and Dave laughed evilly, clearly enjoying the scene"He's not my brother either and can never be one" Derek gritted out and Dave chuckled some more, wrapping his arms around Derek, "my mother is your father's wife, we're family" Derek shoved him away and Dave snarled " do you think you can keep my mom locked up forever?"
