Kathy Pov"Please can you not put too much makeup on me?"I said to the stylist doing my makeup, it's finally the engagement day and I am hella nervous, I woke up with a bad feeling and I couldn't shake it off, I silently prayed to God that all my plans go well today, it's almost six pm which means I have to be out of here Before seven when the party starts, a lot of people were already here, some that I know others that I dont, I meant a few of my relatives already, they were all gushing and ahaing, I tried to play along as much as I could but the more people came to see me the more anxious I become.The past few days have been hectic for me, I had to play along with my family, while at the same time trying to put the finishing touch to my and Louis plan, thankfully both turned out to come out well, but it left me exhausted, I barely slept through the past couple of day, I had to do a full-body massage and also hard manicure and pedicure. It wasn't easy at all."Are you guys almost d
Cross PovIt took quite a while to get to the hospital and thankfully when we got there, there were doctors to attend to the girl, Anna, she was able to tell me her name and via her phone, I called her patent, I currently stood at the waiting area with Dean, her parents were on their way and until they get here, we can't leave, the tike was already past seven pm, my phone would be probably ringing nonstop, but I left it in the car."You should go on ahead, Cross, don't keep everyone waiting, I will wait till her parents are here then I will come,"Dean said coming to stand beside him."You sure?"I asked, Dean, didn't know his way around Arizona so I was skeptical about leaving him here."Yes, bro, and you might wanna change your clothes, you have bloodstains over you,""I will ask them to get me some clothes when I get there, please don't forget to call me,"I said as I stood up to leave, he followed me down through the hallway to where we packed."Okay, later Dean,"I said as I got
Kathy PovI stood by the window looking out to see if Louis was coming but he wasn't and the time was way past nine pm, I called his cell again but it still wasn't going through, even when it did go through he didn't take his calls, I wondered where he was and why he didn't tell me he would be going out, my phone has been ringing nonstop, and at a point, I considered turning it off, but I needed to reach Louis so I couldn't turn it off, I didn't know where he would have gone too, I have been here for over one hour now and still no sight of him, neither is he picking his calls, I was beginning to worry, why didn't he tell me that he won't be at home, he should have at least notified me then I wouldn't have to be worried."No need to panic Katherine, just calm down,"I said to myself but I couldn't calm down, we have to leave town today or my parents are going to find me, I called his number again, silently praying that he picks up if not I am going to go into full panic mode, and thank
Cross PovShe hung up on me, the bitch fucking hung up on me, I stared at the phone in my hand in disbelief, I tried calling it again and the phone has been turned off, I turned to face her parents and mine in anger, I couldn't believe what just happened."So, y'all telling I came all the way from New York for this? To be humiliated? Mom? Dad?"I asked, trying but failing so hard at controlling my anger, I shouldn't direct it towards them but I was pained, I was beyond pained, not even in a million years did I imagine that this, something so embarrassing will come to my family, and here I was, I came all the way from New York and the bitch decided to ditch me, even if it takes moving heaven and earth I will find her and make her pay, the guests were already talking, the event was supposed to start by seven and it way passes nine pm still nothing, of course, they would start talking and before long they will find out what happened, that's if they don't already know."Son, calm down,"
Cross PovI knocked on the doctor's office and she told me to come in, the doctor was a petite pretty woman who would be around her late forties, I greeted her and she told me to sit down"You are the guy that brought Anna in?""Yes, Doc,"I said sitting down and looking around the office, it looked like the typical doctor's office, it looked very clean too."Well, I spoke to the other guy who was with you already, thankful, the impact of the accident wasn't that strong, but she needs extra care, because the baby is still at a stage where it can easily be miscarried, and Anna really doesn't want to give the kid up, because that's the first thing she asked when she woke up,""So, what do you advise that I do?""Are you the one responsible for her? I thought her parents are coming?""Don't think so, she is kind of like my responsibility now,"I said I didn't know why I felt the need to help Anna put, I didn't even know her but she looked so lonely and weak during our drive to the hospit
Kathy PovI woke up with a start, checked the wall clock on Louis's bedroom and it was some minutes past seven am, I quickly got up from the bed and looked around the house, but Louis was still not around, I couldn't turn my phone back on to avoid it getting tracked, I should have thought of it getting tracked last night but I was much too nervous, I went to where the house line was kept and dialed his number, it rang and rang but he didn't pick up, I took the house line with me to the living room sat there and called him again, but still no response, I even went as far as calling his cousin Pearl, she too didn't take her to call, worried could no longer be used to describe how I was feeling."Come on Louis,"I said biting down hard on my lips, I fought to keep the tears off my eyes but still a few found their way out, I walked into the kitchen and tried to distract myself by making us breakfast, maybe he will be back before it is ready, I thought.The minutes tickled into hours and s
Cross PovWe spent the night at the hospital, one I didn't want to leave Anna on her own, and also, I didn't want to be in the same space as my parent, I was still mad at what happened, and the media even got wind of it, by this morning it already blew up, I had to wear a face cap and mask as if I was some kind of celebrity, I hated it, hated to be the center of attention, that's why I preferred to stay away from my family, cuz my parents and brothers were almost always on the news, in New York I barely made TV appearances unless it is business-related, I keep my private life off the news as much as I can."You look like you wanna hit something,"Dean said walking up to me, the hospital finally decided to let us take Anna with us after making sure that we could take care of her, they had wanted her to go into child support but she didn't want that, and the fact that she was already eighteen had helped quicken the decision to let her go with us, still, we had to sign a hell lot of pape
Kathy PovI spent the whole of the week at Louis or whatever his real name was, at first, I couldn't bring myself to believe that what happened was true, but as the days went by, reality began to dawn on me, I still didn't know what to do, I had no money with me, for the first two days I didn't eat anything but I could only starve my self for just a short time, I had to eat and thankfully there was food in the fridge, I survived on them, but still the food available in the house was fast running out, every day I wake up and think of what I am going to do but nothing seemed to click, I ruined my life myself for believing and trusting a scammer, even when my friends and family told me to stay away, if only I had listened to Juliet, I wouldn't be in this mess, not like there is much I could do right now, I may be sturbborn but I knew I was spoilt, I didn't know how to do a lot of basic things, except cooking because my nanny made sure to teach me how to cook not to mention that I love ea
