Kathleen couldn't sleep, she kept tossing and turning on the bed, it was almost dawn when she heard Derek's car pull up the driveway and a few minutes later she heard the door open and he entered inside the house, she kept her eyes tightly shut, pretending to be asleep and hoping to avoid him, he quietly climbed the bed, kissed her forehead, he said nothing as he simply climbed on the bed and fell asleep, tears slipped from the corner of her eyes but she made no attempt to open her eyes.

Kathleen opened her eyes and squinted against the morning ray of the sun, the blinds were opened, she gazed around and saw no one in the room, she was about to stand up when the door opened and Derek entered bearing a tray of breakfast, "good morning sunshine" he greeted as soon as he entered, showing dimples, " I brought you breakfast" he placed it on the table before her.

    Nicole's scream of frustration echoed in the hospital and Marcella quickly admonished her to get hold of her emotions, "I simply can't stand her" she hissed and Marcella looked thoughtful."Don't worry, she should gloat about being Derek's wife now but that table will change soon, I can't stand her either" Marcella's gaze looked furious as she thought on how Kathleen had always ruined her plans, she was like a bad headache that wouldn't go away, she understood how Nicole was feeling right now because she felt the exact same way but now wasn't the right time to strike, she glanced at Nicole, "how's Kyle? Did you leave him alone?"Nicole shook her head, still perturbed at Kathleen's arrogance, "I hired a nanny to take care of him, he's such a handful"Marcella gazed around and lowered her voice to a whisper, "and how's Stefan, I hope he's keeping his distance for now""I haven't seen him for some days, so I believe he had finally decided to keep his distance"

    It's been weeks since Kyle's death and he had been buried, Nicole went to visit Stefan, "I'm surprised you allowed me to visit when our connection had been severed" she smiled sadly at the thought of Kyle and Stefan scoffed at her, "I'm surprised I allowed you to visit after you severed our connection, you were such a bad mother""Was that why you lied that you were out of the country and didn't even show up despite knowing your son needs you?"Nicole went to the bar and poured two glasses of wine, she offered a glass to Stefan and settled down with hers."I never knew he would die, you never mention it was that serious" he took a sip of his wine and frowned, "Kyle is gone now, I just want to move on" he explained taking another sip."Is it so easy for you to move on? To forget about him""I must admit it isn't easy but I have to, you too do the same"Nicole smiled again and Stefan stared at her, shifted uncomfortably on his couch, he suddenly felt a fi

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!"

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

    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?"
