My Everlasting Love (Kleo Fanfic)

Chapter thirty

Kate's POV

I hate Leo, but I love him. I'm sure that makes sense.

My mind is set on getting Mia and Joe and Bear away from Ned's evil grasp. I want to get my babies and then never leave them again. I miss them more than I can describe.

Ned needs to get arrested, but we don't have any evidence that he was involved in Leo's kidnapping. Except we do, now anyway.

I pray this works, knowing deep down that it is kind of a long shot, but I can't loose faith. Ned will tear my house apart, and he will want custody of Bear. I can't let Bear near that monster. I also have no proof that he raped Mia.

But a mother's gotta do what a mother's gotta do. And I will fight, for my children. Jim and Sam, my two ex husbands, are absolutely angels in comparison to Ned, and let me tell you, those two aren't a piece of cake.

For Bear.

Sitting on Leo's comfortable velvet sofa, I held up the plastic bag, containing the finger.

"Yum!" Leo chirped as he flung himself next to me.

"Stop being a little kid. We need to be serious about this," I told him, while bursting out into snorts of laughter.

"Kate, get on with it. I know you're worried about Bear and Joe and especially Mia. I can see it on your face, I hope you're not forgetting I've known you forever," Leo said, his voice suddenly turning a serious tone.

I gulped and looked at the finger.

Gross.

For Bear.

I popped on the glove and reached for the finger, which felt utterly repulsive. I cleaned off the fingerprint scanner on the phone, and it unlocked.

"Success! Now I hope we still have a chance-"

"Don't loose faith," Leo coaxed. His voice was soothing and calmed me down instantly.

I opened her messages folder.

Bingo.

I smiled to myself. This is why you do not confirm secret plans over text. And I knew exactly what I had to do next.

My fingers paused as I thought of something clever and convincing to write.

"Done." I smiled at Leo. "Now its just a waiting game."

Leo leaned in and placed his delicate hands around my face gently. "I told you this would work out in the end. Ned will end up where he belongs," he assured, when he saw the concerned look on my face.

"But I loved him Leo. Of course, not like I loved you. But I still loved him and I can't believe he would do all those things. What happened to the man I used to know?"

Leo pressed his lips against mine. They were warm and comforting. I let the smell of his cologne whisk me away, to a place without worries. To a place where it was only me and him.

Very soon Ned will not be in our lives. Then maybe my children and Leo and I could finally live as a family in peace.

Our lips parted but they still felt like magnets, and I could still feel the force pulling my lips to his, even when they weren't together.

I lay in Leo's arms, and felt myself slowly drifting off into dreamland.

Leo's POV

Kate's rhythmic breathing on my chest eased away all the pain I was experiencing. Physically, from wounds. And mentally too.

All the deep cuts were taking their time to heal, and Kate had asked me many times what was wrong, but I really didn't want to worry her further. I cannot even imagine what she must be going through right now.

But there is really so much I can do to help her. I've never left so helpless in my life, especially with this situation she's having with Ned.

It angers me just to think about the bastard. And poor Mia. I have always seen her as a daughter, despite being called 'uncle Leo' and I can't bear to think of the pedophile doing anything so absurd to her.

I clench my fists and take deep breaths, trying to follow Kate's breathing pattern. The gunshot wound sent a sharp pain through my body.

I grunted and picked Kate up. It hurt like Kate's home (hell).

The joke kinda stuck too.

Never had a realised how much my life had changed in the last month. I got the love of my life, I had to pay the price for it, but Kate is worth every inch of the pain and sorrow.

Weak, thats what I was, after all the overload on my body. I could barely hold Kate. I prayed I didn't drop her, she looked so peaceful.

I carried her with great difficulty to the bedroom, because she would be more comfortable there than the sofa.

As I placed her down, I found she had clutched my collar.

I freed it from her grasp and kissed her forehead, walking out and closing the door behind me.

Ned's POV

I don't believe this.

Why the hell does Kelly want me to go meet her when the deed is done? It makes no sense?

And what the fuck could be so important that she doesn't want to tell me over text or even phone call? She hasn't been answering any of my calls. I must've called a thousand times.

She isn't replying to any texts either. Which means I should probably go.

I opened up my laptop and booked a plane ticket.

"Mia!" I yelled.

A scared girl came through the doorway.

"For heavens sake Mia, get yourself cleaned up, you're a mess. And before you go, put Vivian on the line. She will be looking after you and Joe and Bear, while I'm away on some...business," I instructed.

Mia nodded and quickly ran to get the phone.

"You don't have to always be so rude you know," Joe declared, as he popped his head round the corner.

"No one asked you! And aren't you supposed to be in your room? You are not allowed out till you learn to respect me!"

"You mean, be your slave!"

"Do you want me to take out that belt again?" I threatened.

Joe glared at me and walked out the front door, slamming it after him.

Hope he gets hit by a car.

Mia inched towards me and held out the phone. "I'm excited for tonight darling," I smirked.

She didn't waste another second standing there.

Just to add to my problems, Bear started wailing loudly from the other room.

"Shut up!" I shouted, really loudly, and he did. What a good kid.

I held the phone up to my ear and chatted with Vivian, the babysitter. Honestly, I can't stand that lady.

This better be important Kelly.
