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
Cross Pov"Ma, there you go again, I am not listening to you this time,"I said moving away from my mom, she couldn't let this issue pass without interfering, I already told her I didn't want anything to the Stevenson family but my mom said and I quote, 'that I should meet up with her father, like why would I do that, if anyone is supposed to meet up with anybody then it should be them, they should be apologizing for the shame they caused my family, even after my dad gave an Iffical statement, the press and media still talked about it for the whole if last week, my mom being the peace maker she Is, She has been disturbing me about going to the Stevensons for the whole week and I refused but she wasn't relenting, I am scheduled to leave for New York tomorrow as I am taking Anna for a checkup today, she is doing well, she has gotten used to my family, not totally though but better than the day she first came in, I am going with my mom since I signed as her caregiver the day we left the
Kathy PovI stood in front of our mansion and for the first time I didn't know what to do, I didn't know if I should knock or just walk in, I felt like a total stranger, I gathered up my last drop of confidence and walked up to the gate, the giant gate looking so big and scary for the first time ever, I had on a plain T-shirt and faded pair of jeans that I got at a cheap price at the market, it would be the cheapest thing I have ever worn, I didn't bother to do my makeup and my hair was packed up in a messy bun, I looked miserable even to my eyes, I walked close to the gate and before I could knock, the security man came out, he looked shocked to see me, but quickly got over it and ushered me in, I guess he didn't know yet that I am no longer part of the family, I didn't remember his name as I wasn't good at remembering people's names."Are my parents home?"I asked in a rather tiny voice."Yes, your mom is home but the dad is not, he left for a meeting a while ago,"He disclosed and
Cross PovWhat the fuck?"I screamed as the car came to a sudden stop, making me hit my head against the car seat, I looked up wondering why the driver suddenly stopped."What happened?""Sir a lady, she.."He seemed to be in shock, I looked up as the said lady fell to the ground, I panicked that moment, fearing he might have hit her but I couldn't remember hearing the car hit something."Did you hit her?"I asked as I got out of the car, he followed, he didn't hit her though, she might have fainted from the shock, great now I have to cancel my flight again and land at the hospital for a second time within two weeks, remind me not to come back to Arizona, at least he didn't hit her, I helped carry her and told him to get on the car, a few people were watching us but no one came to help, as expected, I checked her pulse to make sure she was okay, she seemed to be normal but I wasn't a professional so I couldn't really tell."Please hurry up dude, I don't want someone to die on me,""Th
Kathy Pov"What did you say?"I asked even though I heard him perfectly the first time, I didn't trust him, was he going to make me come with him and then kill me? Or he was just mocking me, this wasn't the Cross that I remembered though, he has changed a lot in both appearance and the way he talks, the Cross I knew before would have told the driver to bring me to the hospital and maybe got on a taxi to get to the airport.'Well, he didn't know who you were,'My mind said and I agreed but still, he looked more approachable and was even talking to me."I said come with me to New York, on second thought don't, I don't need to deal with you anyway, you are not having the best time of your life right now so that's enough punishment,"He said."Why? Don't you want me to suffer more?""Well you are suffering right now, and it doesn't look like it will get better for you any time soon, do you even have a place to sleep?""None of your business, so can I go now?""Hmm, yeah, right after you c
Cross Pov"Anything?"I asked again."Yes, anything,"She replied, she looked like she was hopeless for real because that would be the only reason she is begging me to take her back, I thought about it hard, I didn't have anything to ask for now, but I think if I think hard enough I will figure it out."Well, I was going to marry you anyway even though I didn't want the marriage either, so I will think of something and you said anything right?"She seemed to be rethinking her options, I waited for her to go back on her words but she nodded in agreement."I wanna hear it again, I will record it just in case you decide to pull a fast one on me,"I said as I brought out my phone and tapped on the video record."Now say it again from the beginning while looking at the camera.""Do I have to? It looks childish though,""That's not up to you to decide little witch,""First of all I am not little, secondly I am not a witch,"She answered."How old are you?""Non..**""Okay, no need for the d
Kathy PovEven after Cross left, I still couldn't get over the shock of how fast things turned, like one moment I was sure he was gonna say, no, but the next moment he comes up with so weird reasons to why he will help me, I still didn't know what he wanted in return of helping me but what was even more shocking was how he defended me in front of my mom, I couldn't believe what I was hearing and that those things were coming from him, I still didn't like him or trust him but I was thankful."What did you say to him and how did you even meet him?"My mom asked bring me out of my thoughts, I looked over to her and she was watching me with curious eyes, she looked like a total stranger to me, I still can't believe it was so easy for her to cut me off."I just told him I was sorry and asked him to give me a second chance and he agreed,"I said, there was no need for her to know the rest part,that was between me and Cross."Just like that?""Yes, just like that, he knows I am human and tha
