The day was almost done and Dustin and Taryn were fast asleep in their room, while Kat had just woken up. She checked her phone and saw that it was minutes to 7 pm. She went downstairs to find Aiden on his phone with someone. "What he did was unacceptable. He should've known better," he said in a stern tone. Katherine could tell the voice on the other end belonged to a female, but she couldn't make out what she was saying. "This is over," Aiden stated firmly. His back was to the staircase so he didn't see Kat enter. "I don't want to hear it! Just forget about me and lose my number!" He grunted. He seems upset and Kat wished she could hear what the other person was saying, but she knew better than to listen in on other people's conversations. "Hey," she whispered from behind Aiden, who quickly spun around in surprise to see Kat standing there. "Hey," he mouthed with a half smile. This made Katherine uneasy, like he was hiding something. Aiden continued his conversation over the p
Later that evening, Katherine made a phone call to her family to find out how they were doing. Since they were preparing to step out for the New Year's festivities, their conversation didn't last long. Kat encouraged the twins to be on their best behavior and she also made them promise her they'd have fun. Around 9 pm, they decided to watch a movie with Taryn and Dustin. Halfway into watching the movie, Four Rooms, Dusty and Tar began kissing and groping each other, it got so steamy they had to head upstairs. Kat and Aiden couldn't help but laugh at the two lovebirds. They were like teenagers who couldn't keep their hands off each other. Aiden and Kat wrapped up the movie around 10:50 pm and headed to their room to relax in the hot tub for the rest of the night. "Watch your step," Aiden cautioned Kat as he took her hand and led her into the very warm water. She positioned herself in front of him, and he held her from behind. Kat sighed in contentment as she immersed herself in the
Katherine couldn't believe her ears or her eyes. Taryn was engaged. Her best friend, who didn't believe in love, let alone marriage, was about to tie the knot. She pulled Taryn upstairs to her and Dustin's room so that they could talk in private. "What the actual hell," Kat basically yelled as she stepped in after Taryn and closed the door behind her. "What?" Tar questioned as she held up the ring and admire it. "Are you serious?" "Of course I'm serious, I love Dustin." "Tar, I don't think you realize what you're signing up for. Marriage isn't a joke," Kat stated. "I know it's not a joke, Kat. I should at least expect you to be happy for me." "I am, I just...," Kat's words trailed off as the state of the room caught her attention. It looked as if it were hit by a merciless hurricane. The headboard was broken in half, a lamp was shattered in a corner beside the bed, while paintings and other artwork hung crooked or falling off the wall. "What the hell happened in here? Did you a
The Café was extremely busy for the next few days. Katherine barely had time to even call Aiden. They would talk in the afternoons on their lunch breaks, but that wasn't enough. They'd only made love once since they came back from the cabin, and it was a quickie while Aiden drove her from work. It was thrilling and unlike anything Kat's ever done. She knew Aiden was spontaneous, and wanted to be kept on his toes. He was nothing like Nile. Her late husband was a bit mundane, and not that she noticed it before, but after she met Aiden she realized her marriage was boring. Nile would have a schedule of the nights they would have sex, so it was more like an act of duty than a way to show their love and affection for each other. So this with Aiden was way different; more passionate and healthy, and Kat loved every moment of it. She had been contemplating doing something special for Aiden for the past few days, so she went on ahead and brought all the necessary items she needed f
"Surpr...," the rest of the word got lost in the scene that was playing out before Kat’s eyes. She didn’t want to blink, feeling that if she did she would break down and cry because of the massive heart ache she was now feeling. She couldn’t believe her eyes. This couldn’t be happening to her. Shocked and hurt riveted through her body causing her to drop the basket on the floor. Aiden shot up from the desk when he heard the commotion, his head still hazy, but still not too dazed to realize who was standing at the door. His girlfriend and love of his life looked at him like she wanted to cut his body in two with a chainsaw. Or more importantly amputate a much more important anatomy that most men relied on for their happiness. Vee was just there stooping still, not wanting to turn around and let who just walked in see her or recognize her. She must admit, she was embarrassed. Kat stumbled backward, her pumps caught in the cracks of the flooring almost causing her to fall. Her
The name Violet rang over and over in Kat's ears until it finally registered. Could it be the same person? If it was, she was wearing a wig. She only saw the back of her head in Aiden's office, but the last time she checked, Violet had blonde hair, not brunette. "Did you say Violet?" She asked Aiden. "Yes. Please, let's talk?" He begged her. "Okay," Kat responded, hoping what she was thinking was wrong. "We can go somewhere and talk.""Dustin can you please take Taryn home with my car?" Aiden suggested. Taryn agreed and hugged her friend. "I'll tell your mom that you'll be coming home a little later," Taryn said. Then she turned to Aiden. “Don’t let me come back with a bullet and a gun,” she growled. “Don’t worry, your friend is in good hands,” Aiden nodded. “We’ll see,” Taryn stared him down. "Thank you Tar. Just go, I’ll be fine,” Kat smiled “And be safe.”"You be safe too," Taryn squeezed Kat's hand. “Ok babe, that’s enough threats for tonight,” Dustin pulled on her arm an
Katherine saw the turmoil on Aiden's face, but she couldn't buckle just yet. "You can start from the top," Kat suggested. "Okay. So you know that I've had a hard time finding a meaningful relationship, right?" He asked and Kat nodded "That being said, I've been hooking up with girls from an escort service," he confessed and Kat stared at him with wide eyes. "You see, there's this chick, her name's Violet O'Hara, she runs this escort service. That means she didn't do any of the clients. But the moment she saw me, that changed for her. She wanted me and I didn't refuse her at the time. She became one of my regulars," he revealed and Kat stood. "Violet O'Hara?" "Yes that's her name. The truth is, she knew what she was getting into. She realized who I was, how much I'm worth, and I don't want to sound conceited, but most woman finds me irresistible," he sighed. "It was supposed to be a job for her, but I guess she caught feelings, and now she won't leave me alone." "Violet O'Hara?"

The sound of the speeding car echoed through the atmosphere as Violet's goon made off with the money. Katherine and Liam ran over to the side of the beach where Nate and Aiden were. Dustin and Aiden's officer friend, officer Smith were already there. Dustin ran to help Aiden, while officer Smith watched Nate."Nathan!" Katherine shouted as she ran to her son. Nate outstretched his arms and ran to meet his mother. "Mom," he cried as they hugged each other. "Oh my sweet boy, I've missed you so much," Kat cried and squeezed him tightly. "I missed you too, mom," Nate sobbed. "Let me look at you," Kat expressed as she pulled from the embrace and began inspecting him. "Are you hurt? Are you cold? Are you hungry?" She fired off. "I'm a bit cold," Nate said, trembling. "I'll grab one of the blankets from the car," Officer Smith said. "Grab two," Katherine ordered when she saw Aiden and Dustin walking towards them. Aiden was sopping wet and trembling. Katherine hugged him tightly and
The flight from West Virginia to Jamaica was almost six hours. When they landed in St. Mary, Aiden had already arranged for them to be picked up and taken to the nearest resort, which was fifteen minutes away from the airport. Aiden informed everybody that Violet was staying in a nearby town called Port Maria. They got to the resort and settled in, collecting their bearing and going over their plan a few more times. Even though Aiden encouraged her to get some rest, Katherine stayed up and made some spaghetti and meatballs for everyone to eat. "Katherine sweetheart, I really wish you would get some rest," Aiden pleaded as he stirred a pot of sauce, which he was ordered to do. "I'm almost done here, and besides, this is what's keeping me sane. This is my therapy," she told him. "I understand how you're feeling, my love," Aiden began as he placed a kiss on her cheek. “This will all be over soon. I already have everything set in motion." "I am so grateful to have you by my side," Ka
Aiden was already working on accumulating the ransom for Nathan. He made various phone calls, while Dustin and the officers packed up their equipments. "Aiden, what are you up to?" Dustin asked as he joined him in the kitchen. Aiden was still busy with his phone in his hand typing away."I'm working on getting my son back," he simply answered with his attention still set on his phone."Aiden, I know you and I saw that look in your eyes. Please let us do our jobs."He took his attention from his phone, and was now looking at Dustin in disbelief. "Out of all the persons, you're gonna say this to me?" He questioned Dustin. “Dustin, I know how the system works, and I'll be damned if I sit on my ass and wait for them to get shit done," he made clear."I hear you, but there's a protocol that we have to follow.""Screw protocol. I'm not wasting another minute," he stated. "So what do you want me to do?" "I want you to be my friend," he simply said. "You know how much Katherine and the k
Aiden tried his best to hold his composure and not overreact. He wanted to tell Violet a piece of his mind, but he thought staying calm would be better in this situation. "Violet, do you have any idea what you've done?""I know exactly what I'm doing. I'm spending quality time with my lovely nephew," she stated."Listen to me, Violet, you have to bring Nathan home. I'm sure he misses his family," Aiden said, as he felt a headache coming on. "But he's with family. Have you forgotten I'm Aunt Vi?” she snickered over the phone."Let me talk to him," Aiden demanded. "He's taking a nap at the moment, but we could talk, you know I have a lot to say to you.""Well at least let me see him. Let's video call," Aiden requested. "Now why would I do that?" "So that I can see that Nate is doing well." "He is. He's just taking a nap. The plane ride was tiring for him." "Where are you Violet?" Aiden questioned. "You'll find out soon enough. First, let's get down to business.""What business?"
Dustin and Liam got lucky while following some leads. They called Katherine and Aiden and told them that the SUV was spotted about five miles from the highway, so they were to meet him there. Aiden knew how stressful the situation was, and he did not want to make matters worse for Kat, so he tried to convince her not to come with him."Sweetheart I can't imagine what you're going through, but I think it's best you stay put until I find out what is going on.""Aiden, you know I can't do that. I have to make sure that my baby is safe," she said as she took up a water bottle. "I know you might be feeling helpless not knowing where Nate is. Trust me I feel the same way, but you stressing out is not good for your condition.""My condition?""You know, being that you're pregnant and all. I wouldn't want anything to happen to you or to the babies.""Nothing is gonna happen Aiden, I'll be fine," she reassured him."I just want to make sure," he said softly. "I understand, but we are wastin
An hour later, Katherine was at the school. She had called Aiden to tell him what was going on. He was on his way home. She also called Dustin and he and two other officers met her at the school. She tried her best to remain calm as she spoke to Nate's coach, along with the principal, and two security guards. "How could you guys let this happen?" Katherine fumed."Let what happen Mrs. Windsor? Ms. O'Hare comes to visit them all the time. Isn't she their aunt?" the principal questioned."Yes, she's their aunt, but she has no right to visit them, let alone pick them up from school. She's mentally unstable." Katherine gave out. "Oh my," the coach exclaimed in shock."Mrs. Windsor, we did not know. We are truly sorry," the principal apologized. "You will be sorry, she wasn't even listed on their emergency contact. Why would you let her take him?” Katherine sobbed the last part."Do you have any security cameras around here?" Dustin asked, trying to defuse the situation. "Yes, we have
Violet was now back at home with her mother. She came home with her new husband, Marvin, who her mom found out to be Jamaican. Mrs. O'Hare was a bit upset because she wanted to be a part of her daughter's wedding, but she came to the realization that if Violet is happy, then that's enough for her to be happy as well. And on the brighter side, with Violet being married to another showed she was over all her shenanigans and obsession with Aiden. Maybe now she could focus on building a relationship with Katherine and her niece and nephew."What are you having for breakfast, Violet?” Mrs. O'Hare asked as Violet came downstairs with Marvin by her side. "Good mawning, Mrs. O'Hare," Marvin said in his thick Jamaican accent. "Good morning, dear," Mrs. O'Hare replied. "I'm not hungry, mom. We’re actually on our way to the airport," Violet replied. "Airport? Are you leaving me already?" Mrs. O'Hare inquired. "Actually, Marvin has to go back home. He has a very important business meeting to
Two days later, Aiden was at his office with a potential client. He wanted to expand his business and had been looking for spaces all over the country. While on his honeymoon, he saw a great opportunity in the French Polynesian area. He reached out to the landowners, and was currently having a conference call with one of them. "Mr. Mahk, I think 20 million dollars is more than enough to pay for that property," Aiden tried to negotiate with the elderly man. "And Mr. Windsor, I will not settle for anything less than 25 million," Mr. Mahk responded after his lawyer whispered in his ear. "25 million is way more than I can afford," Aiden fibbed."You lie, Mr. Windsor. I know you are a billionaire, that’s not too much," Mr. Mahk spoke with an accent. "You know the property next to you wanted me to pay them 15 million dollars for that space, but I thought since you are about to retire, why not help you retire in style? Because I hope when I'm your age I have that amount of money to retir
The day had finally come for Katherine to do her second ultrasound. Her anxiety heightened when she read about all the reasons why her baby could have an irregular heartbeat. She told Aiden that she was worried that something would be wrong with their baby but Aiden reassured her that everything would be fine. "It's good to see you both again," Dr. Murray said as the couple settled into her office. Katherine was already on the bed and ready to get the procedure over with. Aiden sat by her side and held her hand. "How have you been since your last visit, Mrs. Windsor?" "I've been okay. I haven't experienced much morning sickness since, and I have a lot more energy." "That's good. Have you been taking your pre-natal vitamins?" "I have," she smiled. "Even if I forget, Aiden always reminds me." "Excellent, the prenatal have components that help with morning sickness and fatigue, so I'm glad you're feeling better than before.""Yes, I read up on them. I also did a little research on
