Chapter 37

Caleb

When we rushed into her room,I almost fell down. She was in a corner of the room huddled up and screaming. I wanted to go to her.

“ Get the syringe ” ,

“ No , Wait “. Holly said, walking over to her.

“ Ari , It's me , Look at me it's okay ,it's me”.

The minute she saw Holly she grabbed onto her and started crying.

“ Everyone Leave. I'll take care of her. Caleb you too “. Holly said.

I didn't want to but one look at her and I knew only Holly would be able to help her at the moment. So I didn't say anything. I walked out of the room. I called Max over to me.

“ Boss ?”.

“ I don't care How you do it ,or how much it costs. Kidnap Catherine, Lacy and Anthony for me . If you don't or Can't do it , Get me someone that will”.

“ I'm on it boss”.

After saying That, he walked out of the emergency room.When I turned around Jason was standing behind me. He didn't say anything. Ryan came over to us.

“ Have them put her in a VIP room. Get someone here standing Guard. No one Goes into that room unless Holly says so”.

“ Okay . Caleb don't go doing anything Crazy “. Ryan said ,he already knew. I Didn't look at him.

“ What did you do Caleb?”.

“ Nothing “

“ Jesus Christ. You're lying Caleb. Shit shit shit. Jason watch him or I'll be bailing his ass out of Jail ''. He said walking back into the hospital.

He just stood there looking at me and not saying anything.

“ Stop Staring at me Campbell “.

I saw his father walking towards us. When he got to us he looked at me then his son.

“ Where is she, Jason?”.

“ In a private room with her friend. She was raped , She's traumatized and doesn't want any male around her”.

“ Jesus. Did the doctor do a rape kit?”.

“ Yes. The police Chief has it“

“ I'll speak to him and have someone work with him. I don't care what the fuck the two of you have to do but make sure this never happens again. Lock her ass away until this is settled or I'll never be able to forgive myself for this “. He said walking away.

I looked at Jason. What the fuck was really happening here.

“ Explain what just happened?”.

I listened as he told me what his father said. If Angela wasn't running for him then who was she running from?, why Did she show up here Beaten and bruised?.

I walked back into the hospital and up to her room. When I walked in Holly was with her, she was no longer crying. When she saw me she turned away. I walked over and stood at the foot of the bed. She wouldn't look at me.

“ Look at me Aria “.

“ Leave me alone”. Her voice was hoarse from crying and screaming. I looked at Holly.

“ Holly, give us a few minutes please “,

She didn't say anything,she stood up.

“ Holly if you walk out of this room I'll never forgive ”, she said,not looking at Holly.

“ You'll forgive me . But if I don't you'll never forgive yourself Ari”. Holly walked out without looking back. I stood there but she still wouldn't look at me.

“ Aria”

“ Leave me alone Caleb. We're getting Divorced. You don't have any right over anything I do. I'm tainted, I'm damaged, go find someone else “.

Hearing her say that pissed me off. I walked around the bed , and she turned the other way. I grabbed her face, forcing her to look at me.

“ YOU ARE MY WIFE AND YOU'LL BE MY FUCKING WIFE UNTIL YOU DIE”.

She just kept looking at me.

“ You're not going anywhere besides home with me. You can yell ?Curse, fight hell, you can hate me and call me names baby girl but you're not going anywhere and everyone will agree with me , even your brother and father. You'll never see a fucking divorce paper ever ,so Be quiet,try and get better and let me Deal with this ”.

I guess that's what she needed to hear because she grabbed onto me and started crying. I held her and let her cry.

“ I've got you baby. I'm sorry I didn't protect you. It won't happen again “. I said caressing her hair.

“ They raped me , Caleb,they wouldn't stopped. They…”

“ It's okay princess it's okay “.

The door opened and Jason walked in with his father. He looked at me and I Shook my head yes , letting him know she was okay.

“ I have ten minutes ”, she looked up when she heard the man's voice,she looked at me then Jason.

“ I don't know why your mother ran and she wouldn't tell me. I knew you existed but couldn't do anything about it. I Loved Cass. They'll explain it to you. You are going to do as your husband and brother says. You're not getting Divorced , that's not happening. If you don't listen to them so help me god I'll take your ass to an island and leave you there Aria. Your mother was stubborn and strong Headed, so are you. Listen to them. I'll speak to you soon “.

He walked out of the room.

“ Who was it ?” Jason asked her.

“ I don't know, They were wearing masks. They just asked if I was Aria Garcia and if I was married. They said they wanted to see if my husband would still want me after….” , she said on a sob.

“ Cross where are you taking her ?”.

“ New York, my place. Ryan will handle my business here and Holly will handle hers. If the problem continues then it was someone from here”.

“ Good. Pete Called, he's helping Max. They have what you asked them for”.

“ Okay, I'll deal with that. Send Holly back for me”.

I sat with her and waited for Holly. When she came in she looked at us.

“ Do not leave her side, do you understand me Holly. Someone is standing Guard. Only the doctors you trust comes in here. I'll be back soon then I'm taking her with me “.

“ Okay. I'm not leaving her “.


Diane

I know deep down that Amanda and Cassandra planned it all. I loved Michael,he was the most popular guy in College. I always tried to get his attention and as soon as she showed up he started following her around like a lost dog. Then Cassandra had an affair with Aaron.

Jason was a Lost cause now, he wouldn't do it. I wanted Cassandra dead. I was in the car When he came in. Taufik was my most trusted Security. Because of him ,I knew Aaron was having an Affair with Cassandra, I found out she was pregnant. I made sure Taufik taught her a lesson, I didn't expect her to disappear without a trace.

“ What do you have for me, Taufik?”.

“ Your son has been in contact with Cross and his family. I saw them earlier this evening at the hospital. I don't know why so I did some digging. I found out and From witnesses,Cross is Married to a local Girl”.

He handed me her picture. She was beautiful.Her eyes reminded me of someone.

“ Her name is Aria Garcia. Your son has been speaking to her too. She owns the cafe down in Payson, she's also one of the CEO's of Onyx Software company. I Did some digging on her and found out her mother passed away last year. Her name is Angela Garcia , she changed her name that's why we couldn't find her “.

He handed me another picture. I almost dropped it.

“ Cassandra Milton”.

“ Yes. The girl is The senator's Child. From my findings, He doesn't seem to know about her . However Your son does. She was kidnapped two days ago and is currently being guarded at the hospital by your son's security guards and Cross's men . There's no chance at the moment to get to her”.

I kept looking at the pictures. So she had the nerve to give birth to the bastard child.Hmm , Catherine Davidson wants Cross, I wonder if Catherine knows this little detail. Maybe Catherine Davidson would be stupid enough and get rid of her for me. If my son thought I was blind and trusting he was an idiot. Even though I asked him to do a job for me , I had Taufik keeping an eye on him. It was all going well until he came to Payson. I'm now guessing he changed after he met the little bitch.

I guess it's time to line the players up.. Cassandra was already dead ,that leaves her Daughter and Amanda and her family. I knew exactly how to get what I wanted. She was raped, maybe I could make use if that little information.

“ Thank you Taufik , I'll deal with this personally. Continue to keep an eye on the situation”.

“ Yes Mrs Campbell “.
