It's been almost 3 weeks since Ana was released from the hospital and things have slowly gotten back to normal. She still isn't allowed to walk on her leg for at least another 4 weeks, which is driving her crazy. Both her arm and leg have a pink cast on them due to Mia and Mel pouting and whining about how ugly a plain white cast would be. The girls spent one morning decorating her cast while also having a 'mani and pedi day'. The cast have flowers, hearts and a bunch a squiggly lines, that Mia claims are elegant but to me the look like a two year old drew them.
My sisters and Mel were really shock up by Ana's wreck and they have been at our apartment almost every waking hour. I'm about to kidnap my girl and Charlie away to Aspen just to have peace and quiet.
Ana's family left last night but Carla plans on coming back every other weekend until Ana is completely healed. It took everything in my to not laugh when Ana tried to talk her mother out of making so many trips when she was fine except for a few broken limbs. Carla nagged her for almost two days about it being a mother right and why would Ana take that away from a mother, finally Ana just gave in.
Sawyer is still in the hospital but he finally woke up yesterday. The doctors were worried that since he had brain swelling the first few days and also the impact location that he might suffer memory loss, but at 11:30 pm last night Taylor informed us that Sawyer had woken up and his memory seems fine. The doctors want to do more test now that he's awake so he may be in the hospital for while.
I told Ros I was taking an indefinite leave of absence from my CEO position. She was shocked but understood that right now my focus needs to be on my family. I want to focus on getting Ana better and also we need to deal the media frenzy. The media had a love/hate relationship before but now with Connor and Kate trying to kill Ana the media is like a dog looking for a bone trying to figure out why they wanted to hurt her. They have stories that I was having an affair with Kate or that Ana was with Connor but each story end with a scorned lover going to far.
Speaking of Kate, her father Eamon and wicked witch stepmother had the nerve to show up at my parents house asking for my dad to represent Kate. Carrick just laughed in their faces before telling them in a menacing voice that not only will he not represent Kate but he was helping the DA gather information to put her away for life. He told me later that he really wanted to punch Eamon when he say "as my best friend, you should really want to help my princess. I mean why should she go to jail because your son's car got in here way?" That man is a nutcase. The sad thing about this is that Kate's birth mom was amazing and her and Kate were best friends but when Kate was her mother passed away. They ruled her death "normal" but what 32 year old without any health problems just goes to sleep and never wakes up. Within 2 months Eamon was married to Elena and Kate slowly became a introvert but when she turned 18 she started acting just like Elena. When my dad told me about Kate's mom, I always thought something suspicious happened but the case is closed.
"Sir, I have a letter from Ms. Kavanagh. Do you want to read it or throw it away?" I look up at Taylor, then look to Ana for her input.
"Taylor, we should read it." She says before holding out her hand for the envelope and opening it.
"Dearest Christian,
Why couldn't you love me? Why did you pick someone else? Why couldn't you rescue me from the hell that my dad and Elena put me through? All I ever wanted was for you to fall in love with me and then marry me, after we were married I was gonna use all that power to destroy Elena and my father and get justice for my mom. Shocked to hear me say that? Well, let me tell you what I figured out at 18 years old. I overheard my father telling Elena that 'the best thing he ever did was get rid of his bagage' Now I was confused but then I slowly realized what he meant. That asshole is the reason my mom is dead. So I did what I had to over the last 4 years. I befriended Elena, acted like I liked her and slowly she trusted me enough to spill some of her secrets but nothing about my mom. That was until you got serious with little Miss Steele.
She came to my house drunk talking about how her and my father took care of my mother so I could "catch" a rich guy. Her words were that my mother was "She wanted me to find real love and she said my mother was to loving and sweet" to allow me to pimp myself out to rich men like my dad wanted. I was to get a rich man to fall in love with me then get pregnant and force him into marrying me before leaving him without anything. That way I could take care of my only parent. He was deranged enough to think I loved him and would take care of him after the way he treated me. He would lock me in the linen closet for two days before letting me out and telling me that I would get it worse if I told. He is not the man everyone thinks he is.
That night I pumped her with drinks and she finally admitted that they were slowly feeding my mother rat poisoning over the course of a month. That was what she died from not natural causes. The best part is she never remembered she told me so I kept my mouth shut and acted like the loving step daughter. I will make them pay.
Now how do Connor come into the plan?
Hmmm... What you don't know is that he had been watching you for almost a year before finally coming up with the plan to hurt your family. It took him being truly broke and his family cutting him off to snap. I met him at a dance club a 5 months back, we had amazing sex and decided to stay in contact. It was Christmas time when I was eating lunch with Elena and your mother that he realized I had a connection to you. He asked what it was and I told him that you threw me away for your brunette tart. He offered me up something to calm my nerves and that was it. I was hooked on him and his calming pill. I know it was stupid of me to talk a pill without knowing what it was but man did it work.
I was on the fence on hurting you which was his end goal but that was until we saw you come out of Neil Lang. I was intrigued so I paid off a sales girl and what she told me shocked me to my core, she told me you designed an engagement ring and wanted it days before Valentine's Day. That was the day I agreed with Connor. The only way to make you want me was to take her away from you forever. Now even though I'm in jail at least I can live with that fact because you are without your love.
Goodbye.. I love you forever!
Kate
I look up at Ana and she has tears in her eye.
"Baby"
"Poor Kate.. She had the most important person taken away from her because her father was a selfish prick." She leans her head on my shoulder and sighs before her head snaps up.
"Were you really gonna propose?" As much as I want to lie and keep the suspense for my future proposal, the love I see in her eyes make me confess
Yes, Ana, I had planned to drop down on one knee and ask the love of my life to marry me. I know right now isn't very romantic but" I get up and stand in front of her before dropping on one knee.
Ana, the moment I meet you it was like my life become worth living. It took us a while to admit that our souls are connected but we finally did and now I can't imagine my life without you in it. Will you grant me the amazing honor of being your husband? Will you marry me, Ana?"
YES, I'll marry you." My girl said YES! I will plan another more romantic proposal soon. My girl deserves the best.
I grab Ana and give a kiss to show her how I love her.
"We're ENGAGED!!" She yells to no one in particular and I just nod while giving her butterfly kisses all over her face
"I love you so much." We say
"Let's deal with the Kate and Connor shit later. I really just want to relax with my fiance and my CHARLIE." She yells our puppies name who jumps from her dog bed and jump into our laps
A week ago, I didn't know if my girl would survive and now I'm sitting here snuggling my two favorite girls.
