Kate's POV
It's been two weeks since I got hospitalized. My bruises are still healing but I feel better. I'm glad that Troy's gone. Now, baby blip here's gonna be safe.
Marc and I? Well he asked me to be his girlfriend the moment I came home. So, I said yes. He's overprotective. My due date's still faraway yet he takes care of me like I'm a freaking baby. He insisted me to move in with him but I told him not to rush things. He practically forced me since I'm the mother of his child. He said that he wanted to keep an eye on me. Such an ass.
My things were brought to his house a while ago. He hired movers to help out. I only have my necessities in my bag.I wanted to go back to work today but Marc insisted that I rest for the day. I had no choice since both the baby
One month later....Kate's POVI told my brother that I'm engaged and he's happy to know that I'm happy. Zara's already excited to see me in a white dress. Everybody's fussing about our wedding. The press went wild. They've been following us and asking us questions about the wedding date or how Marc proposed. Stella knew Marc was gonna propose. I guess everybody in the office found out too.Marc and I are going to the doctor today. My baby bump is already visible. We're finally gonna find out the gender. I'm nervous. I hope the baby's healthy after everything that has happened.I kept fidgeting."Baby, it's gonna be alright. Nothing's wrong with our baby. We've got good genes." I smiled at Marc. He's really sup
Kate's POVI got discharged from the hospital two weeks later. Marc insisted that I stay at home for a week. We practically argued the whole ride home. After a while, I gave up. I guess being stabbed and losing a baby made me lose energy."Hey...you okay?" I heard Marc ask before touching my hand."Yeah..I just didn't expect this would happen to us. Everything's going so well.""I know. Don't worry. We caught the man. Detective Hale will be asking you some questions tomorrow. We'll find out who the real culprit is." He said, reassuring me. I smiled and hugged him. We got out of the car and went inside. I went to the guest room and gasped. The room's empty. I went inside, opened my closet, and gasped.
"Mommy! Look! Daddy got me a toy car!" Xavier ran to me, holding his toy. Marc came back from his business trip to Canada. "Wanna open it with mommy?" He shook his head and ran to his playroom. I smiled and turned to Marc. "You're spoiling him, you know." Marc shrugged and gave me a kiss on the cheek. "I've got you something." He took out a small box. He opened it and there's a necklace with a maple leaf pendant. "You shouldn't have. I have a lot of necklaces, Marc." "Shh. Come on, let me put it on." I turned around for him to clasp it around my neck. I felt him encircle his arms around my waist.
I, Kate Andrea Jones, will never ever be weak. This day is my last day of college. Finally! I can run away from my worst nightmare. Today's my graduation. I'm finally free from hell. I snapped out from my thoughts when Zara called me. "You're zoning out again..." Zara said, pouting. "Sorry, Zara..I'm just imagining myself out of this place." I replied. "I know. Me too. Ok let's go, we're gonna be late!" Zara Williams, my best friend since my first year of college. She was my partner in crime and she was the one who's been with me during my hard times. She's like a sister to me. I grabbed my luggage and my bag before leaving our dorm.
Marc's POVMy father called me while I was having the time of my life. He told me to come to his office today and see him in person. My presence in the company has me completely irritated at this point. "Is my father in his office?" I inquired as I approached the secretary with a smile.Yes, he has been expecting you, Sir," she said softly. "He has been waiting for you, Sir," she added.I just walked into Dad's office with a smirk on my face and nodded. When I knocked, I was told to be patient. Come in,' I overheard him say."Dear Father...," says the speaker.If you could just sit down, Marc, that would be great."Can you tell me what you'd like to talk about, father?"My son, I'm stepping down as CEO of the company, and I want you to take over as CEO."My blood began to boil as soon as I heard that.
Kate, you've reached the end of the road. I'm on my way to New York! After several hours of driving, I got out of my car and walked around. I discovered a rental apartment in the vicinity of Collins Designs. I made the decision to apply there. I was able to see their designs. They were intricate and absolutely stunning. I dialed the company's phone number and requested an appointment.After a couple of days...Collins Designs is where I am right now. I'm hoping to be hired for the position. "Excuse me, uh...I have an appointment with Mr. Collins," I explained to the receptionist as I walked into the building's lobby."Take the elevator to the fifth floor, and someone will accompany you.""Thank you very much."I followed the instructions given to me. I was now completely taken aback. I saw some absolutely stunning dresses and gowns. It's as if I'm in a different world. I was jolted out of my reverie when someone cleared her throat in my direction.
I was woken up by the sunlight. I stretched my limbs and got up. I went to my bathroom and took a cold shower. After taking a shower, I wore my blue jeans and white blouse. I fixed my hair and put on some make-up. As soon as I knew I was ready, I got my things and went to start my car. This is it! I can do this! I'll make Josh proud. I arrived at Collins Designs exactly at 7:40 am. I entered the building and entered the elevator. The elevator was about to close when someone said "wait". I quickly press the open button and wait for the person to come in. "Oh good morning, Ms. Jones." Mr. Collins said. "Good morning, Mr. Collins." I said shyly.
Marc's POV "Kate! Kate!" I shouted when I saw her on the ground. She looked lifeless. I think she drank too much. I carried her and headed to my car. Greg, my driver, opened the car and Stella slid in. "Greg, I want you to ask Wes to bring Ms. Jones' car to her apartment. And can you buy some clothes for her tomorrow morning?" I told Greg. "Yes, sir. I'll call Wes now. Oh can I see Ms. Jones? I have to know what will fit her." I nodded and slightly helped Kate stand up. Greg estimated everything. "Stella, help Kate get in the car." She nodded and helped me get Kate in the car. "Ugghh...I feel...so..so weird...." Kate suddenly said in the middle of silence. We all just ignored her and
