I headed home, I wasn’t too worried about this clue, Jeremy was young and I knew he wouldn’t remember this. That meant there were only 2 clues left, that made my stomach turn, what else could he ask of me. I spent the rest of the day spending time with my father and the kids before he left, I felt guilty being away from the kids so much lately. I just wanted things to get back to the way they were.The kids were all glue to me as I played with all 3 of them, I couldn't believe how big they were all getting. Jeremy was beginning to have small conversations and do a few little things himself, Heather was walking and saying a few works and Junior was beginning to crawl around and baby babble. He made me laugh so much he would watch the other two walk and I would stand him up and he would try to figure out walking with such a determined face.Once my father left I got the kids in the bath and ready for bed, I had a text from the Unknown number Unknown Number: Steve would like a bag pac
He paused for a moment, “Okay Ma’am, we found a body in Junction creek this evening, prints came back to your husband, Steve Reid.”I starred into the dark, I shook my head. “There is no way! I talked to him a bit earlier, he was okay. I did everything he asked.”I felt the tears fill my eyes As I tried to process everything,“I guess you didn’t listen did you.” The officer spat out.I looked around the room, it was pitch dark. I looked at my phone, there was no call tonight. It must have been a dream. I was trying to calm myself down, as I thought about what happened in the dream. I ran towards the window and saw our car parked outside. I immediately ran from room to room checking on the kids and searching for Steve.The kids were all sleeping but there was no sight of Steve. I looked at my phone and saw the unknown number text messages, I guess only part of it was a dream.I put a robe on and headed outside to the car, I opened the door. The car wasn’t locked and it had Stev
Steves POVI couldn’t sleep as I was thinking about what Darren had said, he really wanted me to pick between my sister and my wife. I knew he wanted Kay and he wouldn’t stop until he had her, it pissed me off the way he was locked up and still controlling our lives.I heard my phone ding with a text message, I reached over and saw a message pop up,Unknown number: Meet me at 512 Front Street in Rockwood. Don’t be late or your sister will pay the price.Following was a picture of Bethany with a gun pointing to her head. She looked like she was crying for hours. I was about to wake up Kay when I got another text message,Unknown number: She’s only the first one, next will be one of those rugrats, then another then another. How do you think your wife will feel when I make you both watch all your kids get pegged off one at a time.I was fucking pissed at this point, it was one thing to threaten my sister or my wife, but not my babies. They were innocent in all this. I wrote a quick note
I drove home thinking about everything Darren said, there is no way I could go through with this, he’s forcing me to sleep with him in order to let Steve be safe. I continued to shake my head as I thought about it all. I decided it was time to go to the police station, there is no way I’m doing this. Before I headed home I stopped at the police station and found the cop who arrested Darren, I was happy he was there. I explained everything I knew, he didn’t say anything besides listened. When I was done explaining everything he took a deep breath,“I wish you would of came to me sooner Kay, I feel bad you’ve been going through all this yourself. I don’t understand what Steve is thinking. Do you mind if I look at the messages you got.”I nodded and passed him my phone, he was looking through them when my phone began to ring, I saw the detectives eyes lit up as he passed the phone to me, “Put it on speakerphone.”I nodded as I answered,“Hello?”“Hey babe did you make it back ho
I stared at the detective without thinking and I nodded, I looked over at my babies. They would be much safer with a cop in the house also, I felt bad for them as I looked in each their eyes. There life was so full of drama and pain constantly. I would do anything at this point to get away from all the drama, I knew when we decided to move there it wouldn’t be over but Steve was stuck on wanting to stay close to Bethany.As I looked at each of them I knew I needed to keep them safe and it was time I leave this all behind, I had the papers in my purse to legally adopt Heather, I signed them but Steve never did. He always said she will come back it was just a phase.Jeremy was young but it’s like he knew what I was thinking as he walked over and gave me a bug hug. The detective came in with several bags,“If your missing anything, we will be at the house all evening you can call or text me okay.”I nodded at him as he waved me to walk with him, I began to follow him down the hall,“Tha
I looked around, I couldn’t believe there were cameras all through my house. I began to worry thinking someone was in our house planting cameras everywhere. I picked my phone up,Kay: I think we are okay. We can make do with what we have I think. I heard my phone go off not long after but it wasn’t Ian who messaged me but Unknown number,Unknown number: What the fuck did you do Kay? Where are you and my kids? Please tell me your somewhere safe.I looked it over and decided I wasn’t answering that, if I answer he will somehow talk me into telling him where I am, I know I’ve been through this with Darren several times.Not long later I heard a noise inside the house when I saw Ian come out the back, “I hope you don’t mind I grabbed a few extra things for you guys, I didn’t want you to be uncomfortable here. Also I grabbed some food on the way here, after dinner I’ll head to the grocery store.”I smiled as I walked in and noticed Ian brought the kids high chairs and beds, “You sure are
Steves POVI was freaking out trying to figure out how I’m going to get Kay out of this mess, I knew this was the final clue and she had to spend an hour with Darren then we would be clear. The guys kept reassuring me he just wanted to get a chance with her again. The thought of Darren touching her drove me nuts, I didn’t want anyone touching her she was mine. I needed to convince myself that it would be a one time thing and then we could work through this all. They told me as soon as she walked into the visit they would let us all go and go on with their lives.I couldn’t imagine them saying okay she’s with Darren go ahead and I would need to wait an hour knowing he was sleeping with my wife cause I told her too. I hated Darren I needed to think of a way to get rid of him, I’m done. Blake came over towards me, “Well it looks like your wife fled, the cops were at your house they arrested one of my guys. This isn’t good Steve, if we don’t get her to that visit there will be a bounty
I spent the next few days hanging out at Ian’s with the kids, it felt really nice to not have to look over my shoulder or worry about who was going to come or go. The more time I was away from Steve the more myself I felt, I should be sad about everything but I just wasn’t.I love Steve with all I had, he was my best friend and we had an insane connection, but he was always so closed and thought differently then me. We clashed a lot raising the kids, maybe we just needed a little break from each other and see what will happen.Today Ian was supposed to meet with Steve and talk to him, he has been difficult to get a hold of. I was a bit nervous to hear what he would say to him, Ian has been amazing with me and the kids around. He worked a lot but when he was done work he would come home and hang out with us, he was actually really funny and we laughed so much. I was beginning to plan our next move, I felt guilty staying at Ian’s, he wouldn’t let us contribute to anything, I got a c
As we entered the house, I glanced everywhere it was literally perfect, he listened to every think I liked and didn’t like from every house we looked at. I couldn’t stop smiling as I made my way to each room.I felt tears coming down my cheeks as I pulled Ian closely, “Thank you babe.”He hugged me back, “Maybe we will get luckier here trying to make a family, we have 1 less thing to stress about now.”And that’s the first thing we did, we stripped our clothing off and tried our luck as we had hot crazy sex all over the new house. We spent the next few days planning our move and picking colors and every chance we got we would try our luck in the new house. Once we got back home we posted Ian’s house for sale and it sold immediately. I was so anxious to pick the boys up and show them the house, as I got there I was so happy and Steve noticed.“Was it a good few days?” He asked me giving me a curious look.I nodded, “Yes Ian got my dream house built for us. It’s only an hour aw
I felt my heart completely stop as I began to panic “Surgery? What happened? I thought he was okay and would be coming home today.”She seemed to panic a bit too as she tried to shuffle through the papers she was reading quickly as she kept looking up at me,“It looks like this is a different procedure Ma’am, he is in getting a small repair done from a previous injury.”I was taken by surprise as I looked at her, he was getting the surgery done so we could start trying for babies. I couldn’t hide my smile as I thanked her and walked back to his room. I sat patiently as I waited for him to get out. He came in walking a bit funny as I began to laugh,“Are you okay babe?”He gave me a awkward smile, “Yeah I’m just numb and it feels so weird.”I got up and gave him a tender kiss on his lips as he kissed me back, “I hear you went for the procedure.”He nodded, “Don’t get upset though if it doesn’t work Kay, the odds are really slim, promise?”I smiled and nodded, “It’s fine if it
Ian explained to us how when he used to have the odd run ins with Will he was usually just there, never anything to get him for even though he heard rumors he was a assassin there was never any proof. The last time he spoke to Darren , Darren mentioned Will was in there and was trying to bribe him into helping him out of there. Obviously he denied and I guess Darren put a hit on him.Although these were all theories there was no hard evidence of any of this being true although Will would be incarcerated for quite some time after this.We spent the next few days in the hospital as Ian was doing amazing, he was beginning to slowly get around the room and go for small walks around the hallways. I was constantly with him, I was terrified to leave his side. The last day in the hospital Ian had several tests to do before they would release him so I took a bit of time to go check on the boys. I was really excited to see them, it’s been a while since I saw them.I drove over to mine and St
I felt my stomach turn as I looked over at Ian, this means that this was all my fault. I haven’t heard from Darren or anything since I walked out of the visit with him. Jones told me he was going to look into a few things and go visit Darren, I was praying it had nothing to do with him. I didn’t want to be held responsible for Ian being shot.I sat next to Ian all day when I remembered I had to pick the kids up in the morning, I sent Steve a message,Kay: There’s been an emergency , I’m going to see if my father can pick the boys up tomorrow.Steve answered me quickly, Steve: No worried Kay, I’ve missed them. I’ll take this run off. Can I keep them until my next run?I looked over at Ian, I wanted to see my boys I missed them so much but I needed to be here for Ian. I didn’t want to leave his sight.Kay: Yes but I want to see them when I’m done dealing with this, even just for a little bit.Steve: Your always welcome here Kay.I rolled my eyes then I thought about it, I looke
I followed the nurse to the room, I saw Ian’s body laying on the bed. There was no movement and he was extremely pale. I slowly walked over as I glanced at the monitor I was trying to memorize all the numbers to keep an eye on them. I grabbed Ian’s hand when I noticed his ring was gone, I looked at the nurse,“Where’s his ring?”She gave me apologetic look, “I’m sorry ma’am it’s in his possessions, we had to remove it for surgery once he’s awake we can put it back on.”I nodded and gave her a smile, I noticed she was optimistic also. Once she left the room I sat there and starred at him he looked so peaceful, I looked at the monitor several times waiting for something to change. I began to talk to him,“Hey baby, I’m here. Your out of surgery now and you did so good. Besides dying on me several times but you came back so your forgiven. Now I need you to open those beautiful eyes of yours and come back to me. I don’t like spending my honeymoon like this. We are supposed to be plann
I was waiting as I saw several officers begin to pile into the waiting room, they just kept coming and coming, when I noticed Officer Cooper walk in, she sat with some of the other officers I could see she was crying as some of them were trying to console her.Detective Jones came and sat next to me with a coffee as he passed it to me, I gave him a small smile and thanked him. Just then I saw a woman walk in and she looked so much like Ian it made my stomach turn to see her. She ran directly to officer Cooper as I watched, I saw Jones tense up. I heard his sister say, “Cassie, what the fuck is going on? Did I hear right? My brother was getting married when this happened?”The officer glared at me and nodded as she gave her a hug. His sister backed away as she continued, “I guess congratulations Cassie, I always knew you two would work it out. I’m so happy my brother finally settled.”I saw her whisper something towards her and they both glared to me, I felt extremely uncomfortabl
I heard a lot of screaming around us as I looked up everything was in slow motion, the man who was looking at us was being handcuffed and dragged away, I looked at myself and I was covered in blood. I looked back down at Ian he’s eyes were large, he kept trying to sit up. I put my hands on him and pushed him back down, “Relax babe, relax.” I was trying to put pressure on his wound when I felt someone come next to me. There was a man standing there, he began to unbutton Ian’s shirt,“I am a physician at the local hospital ma’am, we need to see where the wound is.”I began to nod, I was in such shock I don’t think I could speak or move or cry. I just kneeled down next to him and held his hand as I starred at him. There was so much going on around us, I could hear screaming and crying from everywhere, I heard a lady shout,“The ambulance is 5 minutes out.”The doctor had his shirt pushed against his chest, he managed to spit out a few words,“I.. I… love.. you.. I’m.. I’m.. sorry
I smiled at him as I nodded. He returned my smile, “You know Kay, if you want a big wedding I’ll be happy to give you one.”I nodded, “What do you want?”He shook his head, “You in any way I can have you.”I laughed as I could feel my cheeks warm up, “How about we plan a party in a few months for family and friends to celebrate our wedding.”He smiled, “That sounds perfect.”Just then we heard our name, “Kay Myles and Ian Smith”I felt my stomach turn as I got up and followed Ian into the court room. I was beginning to shake as we made our way to the room. Ian handed me his ring as I looked into his eyes and I saw complete confidence on his face. I gave him a smile as I felt myself calming down, the minister began to ceremony, this was completely different then a traditional wedding. “Do you take Ian Smith as your lawfully wedded husband?”I smiled at him, “I do.” I took his ring out and slid it on his finger.He gave me a large smile as the minister continued, “Do you take
The next morning I woke up to Ian playing with my hair, our legs were tangled together as we were holding on to each other closely. I was never much of a cuddler but the small amount of sleep I did get felt like the best sleep I’ve ever had. I looked up to his eyes, “Good morning.” I whispered. He kissed me, “Good morning my fiancée.”I gave him a big smile as he looked into me eyes, “Are you still agreeing to marry me?”I smiled as I nodded, “Yeah I am.”He looked to be thinking, “When do you want to get married?”I shrugged, “I’m not sure, I’ve had the big wedding and planned out so many things and that didn’t last more then a few days. Let’s do something different this time.”He smiled, “Hmmm, like maybe elope? Or let’s go buy rings and go to the courthouse today?”I began to laugh, “You would marry me today?”He smiled at me, “Oh baby I would of married you the day my eyes met yours.”I began to laugh, the first time I met Ian was when he was on the team to charge Darr
