THE HUSBAND TRAP 66: I’m Back
After settling down and going back to work a few days later, Katherine told Taryn about everything that went down on the honeymoon. From the creep at the villa to the weird encounter at the souvenir shop. "Girl I would have freaked out. You know I hate those voodoo stuff," Taryn said as she handed Kat some paperwork. "I was scared as hell, but Aiden quickly got me out of there," she stated as she sat at her table and began browsing the documents. "I'm glad you and Aiden had a good time despite that.""Yeah it was really great," she remarked as she signed the papers that Taryn had given to her. "These are some of the orders we have coming up," Taryn stated as she handed Kat the tablet with the information. Katherine swiped the tablet screen as she observed the information. She suddenly rolled her eyes, and Taryn noticed."What's wrong?" "Oh, nothing really, it's just this one order," she said before showing Taryn the order. "The wedding cake?""Yeah, the violet themed wedding ca

Two Months LaterAfter receiving that text two months ago from that burner phone, Aiden knew it was from Violet. He did some digging and found out that she was indeed back in America and had visited Mrs. O'Hare to announce her engagement to her Jamaican lover, but Mrs. O'Hare was happy for her daughter and prayed that their love was genuine. Aiden also hoped that Violet would keep her distance, but he knew better. He told Katherine that she was back in the country, but he didn't tell her about the message that he got. He did not want her to worry, so he thought it was best not to tell her, hoping Violet would just stay away from them. In fact, Aiden realized that Katherine was becoming a little stressed out at work, and was feeling sick, so he didn't want to add to her problems. "I'm fine Aiden, it's just the flu," Katherine reassured before she began to down the bowl of chicken noodle soup Mrs. Lewis had made for her."I know, but I think it's best if you visit the doctor or at l

Aiden was over the moon about the news of him becoming a father. Katherine, however, was a bit worried. The drive home was a quiet one. Although Aiden was gleaming with joy and excitement, he sensed Katherine's anxiety. He decided he would try to ease whatever she was going through as soon as they got home. They entered the house and saw Mrs. Lewis sitting in the living room. "Oh, you're home early," Mrs. Lewis said when she noticed them. She was seated and watching the television. "Can I please have a bottle of water?”Katherine asked. "I'll be up in my room." "Yeah, sure. Is everything alright?” Mrs. Lewis inquired."Yes, I'm just a bit tired," Kat smiled at her before ascending the stairs. "I'll get the water. You finish watching your program," Aiden said as he began walking to the kitchen. He didn't notice that Mrs. Lewis began following him."Is she alright? What did the doctor say?" She asked. "She's fine. She just needs to rest and take things easy." "So how far along is

The next two weeks went well for Katherine. Her morning sickness was less, and she didn't feel tired all the time. She wanted to tell her parents and Taryn so badly about the pregnancy, but she refrained. She found a distraction in work and also helping Taryn plan a surprise masquerade themed birthday party for Dustin. She avoided doing anything that was too strenuous because of the Doctor's orders and also Aiden's, who took extra care in ensuring that she didn't overwork herself and was eating and taking her vitamins. Aiden secured a venue for the party and also offered to pay the bill. After leaving the Café, the ladies went over by the venue with a few of the persons who would be working that night to complete some last-minute tasks because Dustin's birthday was in two days."Did you order enough alcohol?" Taryn asked Kat as they went over the checklist. One of the men began pushing a trolley with liquor to the kitchen. "Trust me, there will be enough alcohol here to cater for

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

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

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

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

"Nathan, could you please pass me the peas?" Katherine asked as she laughed at something Nola said. "Here you go, mom," Nate said as he handed her the bowl with the peas. "So Nate, are you excited to start playing for one of the best college baseball teams in the entire US?" Dustin asked. "You know it, Uncle Dusty," Nate grinned as he chewed on his food. "We are so proud of you," Mrs. Riley announced as she cut into her baked chicken. "Thanks grandma," Nate nodded. "And your grandpa is proud of you too," Mr. Riley chimed in. "And don't forget grandma Debs, she's proud of you too.""Yes I am," Deborah answered as she wiped Kaden's cheeks with the napkin. Adeline laughed because she knew her brother didn't like being smothered. Deborah had been spending lots of time in the Windsor mansion ever since Violet took her life five years ago. When she realized Aiden was never coming back for her, something in her snapped and she just couldn't take it anymore.It was a sad time for Mrs. O
THE HUSBAND TRAP 95: Ten Years Later
TEN YEARS LATER Chaos was brewing in the Windsor mansion as an eighteen-year-old Nola struggled to style her hair. She tried tirelessly to get the curls just right, but her hair wasn't having it today. "Dammit!" she snapped, throwing the curling iron down on the floor. "I'm gonna tell mom and dad that you said a bad word." Nola turned on her chair and saw her little sister, Adeline, trying on one of her bras. "Addy, how many times have I asked you to stay outta my stuff?" Nola rolled her eyes. "Please put it down." Addy pouted and placed the bra back on the bed. "Nola, do you have to go away to college?" Nola's heart melted. "Hey, come here," she stretched her hands out for her little sister to come to her. The shiny, dark-haired little girl ran into the strawberry blonde-haired young woman's arms. "Come on, climb on my lap," Nola giggled as she helped her sister onto her lap. "I don't want you to be sad. I promise I will be back for summers, Christmases, and family holid
THE HUSBAND TRAP 94: Nile’s Grave
The drive to the cemetery where Nile was buried was about an hour and a half from Aiden's and Katherine's home. Katherine thought it was a better idea if her mom and Mrs. Lewis came with them so that they could watch the babies while they visited Nile's graveside. Mrs. Riley and Mrs. Lewis hung back while Katherine, Aiden, Nola and Nathan made their way to the graveside. Even though it was many years ago, Katherine still remembered where Nile was laid to rest. His black and white headstone stood out from the rest, since it was made to look like a praying angel with a golden halo on top of its head. She remembered that there was also a small oak tree close to the grave, which was now a towering beauty. "There it is," Katherine motioned, directing Nola and Nathan who were walking closely beside them. Nathan had his backpack with him and Nola had her little trinkets, while Katherine carried a small purse that held hers. "It's so beautiful," Nola remarked as they got closer to the gra
THE HUSBAND TRAP 93: The Letter
Aiden adjusted his position on the bed, took in a deep breath as he prepared to tell Kat everything. His heart thumped at an increased rate due to the fact that his nerves were getting the better of him. He was both anxious and nervous not knowing how Katherine would take the information he was about to lie on her. "Remember I told you about the accident I was in years ago?" He began. "Yes, I do, the one that gave you the scar." "It gave me more than just a scar," he began. "That accident changed my life in so many ways. It made me realized that life is short and that in the blink of an eye things can change for the worst.""Everything happens for a reason, my love." "I believe so too. Fate has a way of proving that," he stated as he took her hands into his."I believe so too." "My donor left me a letter than I've kept for so many years without opening, and when I finally did, fate intervened.""Yeah?” Katherine began, already knowing where this was headed. "Who would've thought
THE HUSBAND TRAP 92: You’re Pregnant?
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 HUSBAND TRAP 90: The Delivery
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,"
THE HUSBAND TRAP 88: Great News
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
