Kate's POV:
~~~~~~

Yes, I may have lied to him about my name but, I can't have people thinking I'm alive. I'm doing well where I'm at and he's doing fine with the blonde woman. I just don't see myself ruining a relationship. I've only ever been in one. I went back to the table to receive their receipt they left me. I took it to the cash register and opened the small booklet. $500 was the first thing I saw when his bill was only $25.52. Is this all for tip? Why does he always see me as some charity. Then black ink caught my attention. He had written on the customers receipt. 'Kate, you have some explains to do' was all it said right above his phone number. I guess he expects me to give him a call? Of course he knew it was me, i look exactly how I did when I left high school, how could I be so foolish. I guess I just thought, he would forget. I was so wrong.

Ashley's POV(the blonde one that's married to Asher):
~~~~~~
For some reason, Asher was acting different. He was zoning out a lot and I kept trying to talk to him. Every time he looked at me, he turned away. But why? Does he know? Does he know the secret! There's no way! I was sure to keep it hidden, no one knows besides HIM. But of course HE understood why I couldn't be with him. HE understood that i had to keep it a secret. So there was no way Asher knew, but something was Definitely wrong. I couldn't help but feel worried. His distance from me kept growing and when we got home, he went straight to his office. Everything was a blur to me.

Mallory walked in from outside with her nanny. Her smile slipped when she saw me but somehow seemed to put it back. This little girl was to cute. So beautiful. I couldn't help but think that her mother looked the same. Maybe even more beautiful. Red hair never seemed to look good on anyone, use to be my thoughts. But this little girl proved me wrong. Sometimes I wish she was mine so then me and Asher would be happy together. All she was, was a reminder of his late lover. I couldn't even think about it. Even though Asher and i are married, it wouldn't change the fact he doesn't love me like he did her. If he found out my secret though, he would be disgusted with me. I know he would. And that's why it's going to stay a secret. I might even berry it with me.

Asher's POV
~~~~~~

She's alive. She's actually alive! But we didn't find her. We didn't even think about the possibility of her alive. But all I can think is why wouldn't she come back home? Why wouldn't she come back to me? Or at least Mallory. But that thought only made me sad. She can't keep leaving me. But now it's to late. I made the mistake again. I was so mad. I just wanted to forget Kate. I wanted to feel alive again. But I was empty just like the first time she left. So I had sex with Ashley. I don't understand. I just don't. I wore a condom, I swear. But sometimes they don't work. Sometimes one mistake can ruin you. But the thing is... It wasn't a mistake getting Kate pregnant. It was a blessing. She gave me something that no one else could. Mallory is everything I could ask for. She's already daddy's little girl. I just don't know what to do now. I'm stuck in a marriage with another baby on the way but Kate's alive. And she MINE. Just like she's always been. Mine.

So instead of writing a second book, I'm going to continue writing this one. This book is no longer 'Completed'. I will also go back through and edit the story. I'm also thinking about writing another book describing Asher and Kate's life before she got pregnant. I'm going to call it, 'Kate After'. So look for it coming soon! I like the title because it reminds me of 'Happily ever After'. Also if any of y'all make covers, I would absolutely love one! For both these stories! Email them to me at parish1955@gmail.com ! Keep reading and leaving me those amazing comment of yours! I love knowing your reading this! Thanks everyone! ~Parish;)
