A Life Beyond Us Chapter 17
At last, Kathleen was standing right in front of Greg.He had missed her for more nights than he could count. All those nights of longing hit him at once, and tears streamed down his face.Kathleen had been worried about him. But seeing him now, that worry faded into a quiet sadness.She knew they could never go back to the way they had once been.Maybe worrying about him had simply become a habit. Or maybe it came from whatever connection they had once had.Kathleen remained calm as she read the doctor's report. Greg watched her intently as she sent the results to Brian and asked him to pass them along to the Gilliams.Only then did she look at Greg again."Do you know about your condition?"Greg nodded. While drifting in and out of consciousness, he had heard enough of the doctor talking to Randy to know that his condition was serious.What upset him most was knowing he might not have much more time with Kathleen. There was still so much he wanted to tell her."Kat, I'm sor

Vincent had no choice but to make concessions of his own to calm the board down.Meanwhile, no matter how many times he tried calling Greg, he couldn't get through.Some time later, a message from Greg finally came in."I left to find Kathleen. I'll bring her back soon."Vincent was so furious he nearly passed out in front of everyone.He couldn't help remembering what Rita had said before she left. Looking back, her parting words felt almost like a curse.From then on, it seemed the Gilliam family would know no peace.Greg spent days waiting outside Kathleen's place, but she never came back. Just when he was beginning to lose all hope, he saw her on the local news and learned that she had won an award.In the past, Kathleen would have shared a moment like that with him. Now, all she wanted was to avoid him.His mood sank even further at the thought.Waiting there day and night for Kathleen had already taken a toll on him. His worsening mood pushed him closer to despair. His

Kathleen was already fast asleep in the back seat, her head resting on Randy's shoulder as the driver took them home.Almost no one knew that Randy had grown up with Kathleen and Greg. He had gone overseas for high school, and after that, he and the other two had gone their separate ways.The bad blood between Randy and Greg went back years.It had started with the business rivalry between their families. Later, when Randy returned home to run the company, Greg looked down on him.Greg saw Randy as nothing more than a playboy. Randy, meanwhile, thought Greg was nothing special and completely wrong for Kathleen.The two spent the next six or seven years going head-to-head, both openly and behind the scenes.Randy had wanted to be with Kathleen after she and Greg divorced the first time. But before he ever got the chance to tell her how he felt, Greg had already won her back.Randy hadn't taken it well. After that, he stopped paying attention to their relationship and tried to mov

Greg had already suspected Kathleen was behind the leak. What he hadn't expected was for her to hand everything over to Randy.She really must have hated him.After years of competing with Randy, this was the first time Greg had ever swallowed his pride and called him. If Kathleen had chosen to work with Randy, there was a chance he knew where she was.Randy sounded almost pleased, as if he'd been waiting for Greg to call."So, you finally got things settled with your other woman? Or did it really take you this long to figure out I was behind the leak?"Greg clenched his fist. "Tell me where Kathleen is. I'm willing to make a deal."Randy hadn't planned on telling him, but Greg had finally swallowed his pride enough to ask. He would just have to apologize to Kathleen later.After all, Randy had only teamed up with Kathleen because he wanted to bring down Gilliam Group, and now Greg was offering him a deal.Randy chuckled. "Well, in that case, I suppose I can tell you. Kathleen

Edward was silent for a long time on the other end of the line.Of course he knew where Kathleen was. But Greg had betrayed her, and she didn't want to see him. Edward couldn't force her, so he sidestepped the question."I don't know where Kathleen is either. But the story about you and that woman from the bar is all over the news, and it's hurting your family's company too. You should deal with that first.""Okay," Greg said, his voice catching.A moment later, Edward hung up.After everything that had happened with Rita, the Whelans clearly didn't want much to do with Greg anymore.Greg couldn't help regretting that he had gotten involved with Rita on impulse. But there was no point dwelling on it now.He left Whelan Manor and started looking for another way to find Kathleen.He reached out to every friend and business associate who had been in touch with her, asking each of them if they knew anything.They all claimed to know nothing about Kathleen, their voices edged with

Greg went silent, taking a long moment to process what Rita had blurted out.She had a point. Other than Gilliam Group's business rivals, Kathleen was the only person who might have had access to those photos and a reason to leak them.Why had it taken him this long to realize that?A pang of regret hit him.Greg had no attention to spare for Rita. He threw on his jacket and headed out of Gilliam Mansion.Rita called after him. "Where are you going?"Greg didn't answer. He didn't even look back.Rita sank to the floor and sobbed weakly.If she could do it all over again, she would never fall for Greg again.Once Greg left, Vincent and Michelle acted quickly.They had a lawyer draw up an agreement almost immediately, while Andrew watched as Emily packed up all of Rita's belongings."We'll give you a house in the suburbs, plus five million dollars. That's more than generous. But if you ever come back and interfere with Terry, Greg, or Kathleen's lives, I won't let you get away
