"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?"

It was 1 am and Katherine and Aiden were sitting at the outside dining table by the pool. Mrs. Lewis insisted they sit outside and enjoy the starry night. The elderly woman prepared her famous tossed salad with pork chops and had her signature homemade dressing to top it off. "Dinner is served," Mrs. Lewis smiled as she set the tray of deliciousness on the table. She placed plated meals in front of each of them. "Go on dear, taste it," she said to Kat. Katherine smiled and took the fork with some of the greens and chops. She dipped it in the sauce and took a bite. "Hmm, Mrs. Lewis, this is amazing," she praised. "You have to give me the recipe." Mrs. Lewis laughed. "I will one day. Enjoy the rest of your meal." "Wait, why don't you join us?" Katherine asked, and Mrs. Lewis's eyes watered. "She can join us, right Aiden?" "Of course you can, Aunt. Let me pull up a chair for you," Aiden said as he got up and helped Mrs. Lewis to get seated. Mrs. Lewis shared herself a plate
As soon as the sun came up, Aiden dropped Katherine off at her house. "I'll see you later, Aiden," she stated, as she unbuckled her seatbelt and leaned over to kiss him. "OK, say hello to your family for me," Aiden replied as he watched her walk up to her door. He made sure she got inside safely before he drove off. Katherine was still tired from her extracurricular activities last night. She checked the time and realized it was still early and everyone was still asleep. She headed upstairs to her bedroom to try and get some rest, but instead, she ended up spending the next few hours obsessing about Aiden and Violet. She still couldn't wrap her head around the whole situation. Violet was a whore, but why? She had money, lots of it, too. Maybe she just enjoyed having sex, Kat thought, but still, running an escort service could shame the O'Hare family. Kat sighed, thinking how devastated Deborah would be if she found out. Ever since Mr. O'Hare died, something in the woman snappe
"Come on, baby, don't be shy," Kat licked her lips as she gestured for Aiden to continue. "I was thinking we could go out this Saturday, you know, you, me and the kids," he finished. "Ohhhh Jesus!" He hissed when he felt Kat's lips on the tip of his penis. "Saturday?" Kat asked, with her tongue circling the head of his member. "Yeah," he nodded his head. "OK, where to?" She asked, while she gently began sucking on the top, sliding more and more of him into her mouth. "Ahhh!!! Ohhhh!" Aiden moaned. "We could go to the beachhhhh," he gasped when he felt her hand cupping the base of his dick while her head began to move faster. "We could have a little picnic, just the four of us... shiiiittt!" He hollered when he felt her palm squeezing his balls. Katherine sucked him harder, her palms working the base of his shaft and cupping his balls at the same time her head was bobbing up and down. Aiden's head flung backward as he enjoye
Katherine was confused about Violet's reaction. She hoped she would've been mature enough to have a decent conversation and not pop off. How delusional can someone be? She also hoped that Violet wouldn't do anything crazy, since she was obviously out of her mind. A month had passed, and they haven't seen or heard anything from Violet. Katherine told Aiden that she confronted her and told her about their relationship. He wished she had told him before she went to see Vee, but he understood. The kids and Aiden have been hanging out a lot, especially on weekends. He brought Nathan to the baseball game, and he even got him a signed baseball. He took Nola to the Lewis Ginter Botanical Gardens, and Nola was in heaven. She learned about different species of flowers and insects. She even got a jar with some butterfly larvae. She couldn't wait for them to hatch. Aiden felt like the happiest man in the world. He knew he wanted to spend the rest of his life with Katherine, so he was about to
A week had passed since Katherine and her babies were released from the hospital. She felt overwhelmed on most days, but she was grateful for having her husband, her parents, and Mrs. Lewis by her side. Miss Polly had moved back home to Scotland to be with her sick mother, but she sent her best wishes. Taryn and Dustin were still on their honeymoon, but they couldn't wait to come home and meet the babies. They wanted to cut their trip short, but Katherine insisted that they stayed and enjoyed their getaway. Mr. and Mrs. Riley were at the Café overseeing things. Mrs. Lewis was upstairs checking on the babies, while Aiden and Katherine enjoyed a nice quiet lunch in the dining room. "They are fast asleep, and they are the cutest little beings I've ever seen. I realize that Kaden is trying to take the mittens off his hands," Mrs. Lewis stated as she entered the dining room."He wants to suck on his fingers like I used to do when I was small," Aiden explained. "And Adeline sleeps with
"I can't believe I fainted after seeing my child being born," Aiden expressed as he cradled his children in both of his hands. Six hours had passed since Katherine gave birth, and she and both babies were doing well. She was now laying in bed resting, while Aiden sat in a chair holding the sleeping babies. "I can't believe it either," Katherine remarked. "Taryn and Dustin will find this amusing when I tell them." "Dustin isn't gonna let me live it down," Aiden shook his head and smiled. A knock sounded on the door. "You have visitors," Dr. Murray announced as she entered the room. Mr and Mrs. Riley were walking behind her with huge smiles plastered on their faces. "Oh, my sweet pea," Mrs. Riley gushed as she walked over to her daughter. She rubbed her head and then caressed her face. She then turned her attention to Aiden and the babies. "They are beautiful," she cooed. "Shhh, you don't wanna wake them," Aiden whispered. "They are so adorable. I could just eat them up," Mrs. R
The drive over to the hospital was agonizing for both Katherine and Aiden. It felt like they had been driving for hours, even though it was approximately a fifteen minute drive. When they got to the facility, they were taken to a private room that was reserved for Katherine. Doctor Murray was already there and waiting since Aiden had called her earlier. Once they had gotten their room, Dr. Murray made sure Kat was comfortable with what was to come next, even though this was her second time experiencing labour. "Now that you're all set up, we have to check how dilated you are," Dr. Murray said to Katherine, who was wincing in pain. "The contractions are a bit far apart, but they still hurt like hell," Katherine stated as she adjusted herself on the bed. Aiden was right by her side, holding her hand every step of the way. He watched as the doctor began to probe Katherine. They both noticed how Dr. Murray's eyebrows were raised in curiosity and Aiden got a bit worried. "Is everyth
Katherine stood beside her best friend, admiring her in the mirror. She could tell that she was nervous, but she looked absolutely beautiful in her wedding dress. "Just breathe, Tar," Kat encouraged her. "I am breathing, but I think this dress is too tight. It's cutting off my circulation," Taryn fussed."Are you sure?" Katherine asked as she began to gently tug on the back of the dress. "Maybe I should've chosen a different dress." "Nonsense, this dress was made for you, literally." Taryn's dress was a silk satin fit and flare that hugged her body from her chest to her hips, then flared from her mid-thigh, creating a sexy yet sophisticated look. "I think I'm gonna be sick," she gave out as she scrambled towards the bathroom. Katherine followed behind her and found her knelt over the toilet. "Listen, I'm way too big to be walking this fast," Katherine breathed as she caught her breath. "Sorry," Taryn managed to say before hurling again. "Let it out, sweetie, let it all out,"
Dustin had been waiting for a big break in his career. For the past couple of months, he had been investigating a case that meant a lot to him. A long while back, he got information about a suspected pedophile and since then he had been obsessed with solving the case. The man's name was Donny Perez, but the evidence wasn't much, so he needed something to stick the nail in Donny's coffin. "Everyone, please stay in position," Dustin ordered over the police radios.He was parked in a neighborhood across the street from a lemonade stand. The chief got his nineteen-year-old niece Sarah to work undercover. She was posing as a vendor selling lemonade to help out an animal shelter. Even though Sarah was nineteen, she was really little because she has a trait of dwarfism. She was well-equipped to do the task, and they had police posted all over the neighborhood. Dustin and his partner watched as a few persons came up and purchased their refreshing cups of lemonade. He checked his watch, and
Aiden was at the office when he got a call from Grandma Debs, asking if he could meet up with her. He was curious as to what she needed, so he agreed to meet up at Katherine's Café. Aiden and Grandma Debs have developed a good relationship because Grandma Debs knew that it wasn't Aiden's fault the way things went down with Violet, and since they were going to be a part of each other's lives, it made sense that they remained cordial. On his lunch break, he went over to the Café and found Katherine in her office because she refused to stay home. If Aiden was being completely honest, he loved how beautiful and glowing she was at this stage, and he admired how strong she was. Most women would be at home counting down the days until they gave birth, but Kat refused to stay in bed. As long as she wasn't overworking, Dr. Murray said it was quite fine for her to do some light work. "Hi, my love," Aiden greeted as he entered the office and walked over to her smiling. "Hey," Kat returned th
A week after the ruling, things were almost back to normal. Katherine spoke to Grandma Debs almost everyday. She also invited her to stay with them for the weekend and for the family Sunday dinner. The kids were like the only close family she had at the moment, and she wanted to maintain a good relationship with them. They had movie night on Saturday and it was fun. It was wonderful to see Grandma Debs, Aiden, and the twins getting along so well. The next day, Taryn and Dustin also came over to join the traditional Sunday dinner. Mrs. Lewis, Grandma Debs and Taryn were busy in the kitchen, while Katherine rested upstairs. She felt out of place not being involved, but she knew that at her stage of pregnancy, she needed to take things slowly. The twins were preoccupied helping Aiden and Dustin to set the table and get things in place. Katherine woke up and made an attempt to go downstairs to help, but she was shocked when the twins intercepted her and brought her back to her room.
The trial began a week later, and it didn't take long for the judge and juror to decide the fate of Violet. With all the evidence, it was clear that she was guilty. The only decision that needed to be made was her punishment."Your honour, the evidence presented in this case is damning and inexcusable," the lawyer representing Nate and his family stated. "Though the evidence is there, we see no reason why the book should be thrown at my client being that she's not a repeat offender," Violet's lawyer presented. "Not a repeat offender? If I may point out, she was being investigated for embezzlement and fraud. And if I recall, she fled the country before an arrest could have been made.""That's hearsay, your honour.”"Would I have brought this up if it was only hearsay?" The lawyer pulled out a few documents from a pile that was in front of him. He them gestured to the officer to bring it to the judge. "This doesn't look good, Mr. Ryan," the judge said to Violet's lawyer after reviewi
After Aiden informed Katherine about the trial date, they both decided that they would have a sit down with Nate over the weekend and tell him about what was happening. After Katherine finished work that Saturday evening, they all sat down in the living room to have a discussion. "What did you guys do today?" Katherine asked Nate and Nola, who were sitting on both ends of the large couch in the room and were engrossed in their tablets. "I helped Ms Lewis in the garden. We will have lots of potatoes and strawberries by the end of the month," Nola said as she placed the tablet beside her. "That's great Nola. I can make some strawberry tarts when they are ready.""I played on my tablet most of the day," Nate answered without taking his eyes off the screen of the device. "Nate, can you please put the tablet aside," Aiden requested. "We have something important we want to discuss." "Okay," Nate said as he tucked the tablet in the corner beside him. "Thank you," Aiden said."Alright,
