The bad boy's a Kingpin

Chapter 18: Finally Free

                                                          Cassie's  Pov

I was beyond stressed and tired. I just wanted the sweet Chad back. I truly love him but if he continues to do this, I might have to pretend, me and Christian died to get away from him. Amy told me about a lady who had got in a car crash on purpose, then at the hospital, had fake staff report she was dead. It was my only hope. She said I would have to inject myself with some kind of needle. It would contain a drug that was strong enough to make it look like I was dead. Unfortunately, I will not do that to my son. So I will have to have the hospital say he did not arrive with me, in hopes he will think he somehow flew out of the car, and they have not found him. Due to the fact they thought it was only me, in the car.

This all sounds too stressful and complex. I would rather stay, if he would only change. I did my morning routine, got up, took a shower, put makeup on, got dressed, then got my son ready for the day. I love my son so much! He does remind me of Chad, just the good parts of him. Chad had already left for the day. He told me he wouldn't be back til late and I found that rather strange. Oh well more time for me and Christian to spend together. 

As I was bathing Christian there was a knock at the bathroom door. The door was already open so I turned around, and to my surprise it was John. "I hope I didn't startle you," John said. "N-no...," I said not sure of how he got in. "I wanted to see how you are doing. You looked sad on your honeymoon and I also saw bruises on your face and arms," John said. "I am ok John, why are you here," I said to him. No longer looking at him and continuing to give my son a bath." I want to take you and Christian away from here. Amy told me you wanted out and today is the best day to do so. Chad will be busy all day and I made an escuse to why I couldn't help him today."

"I don't know what to say. How will we get away? Won't he come looking for us," I said unsure if this would be a mistake? "Cassie you won't know til you try and this is no place to live. Let alone for Christian to grow up in. He hurts you Cass and oneday you son could end up being like him, since he may think it's normal. Or Chad possibly might teach him to be this way. Please Cass just come with me, trust me, I won't let him hurt you anymore," John said. I decided to take the risk and quickly got my son, out of the bath. Dressed him and packed his things. Luckily no one was here except chef Francesco and he was in the kitchen.

I only packed one weeks full of clothes, for myself. I went to the safe, since I watched Chad put the pin to the safe in millions of times I knew the passcode. He had alot of money in there and I am sure he will manage. I grabbed as much money that would fit in two duffel bags. Then John helped me, with Christian's carrier. I grabbed the duffel bags and luggage. When we left out of that front door today, it felt bittersweet. Chad actually made love to me this morning and who would have known it would be the last time. I wrote him a letter before leaving.

CASSIE'S LETTER TO CHAD:

Chad as you are reading this letter please try to remain calm. I truly do love you and will miss you dearly. You have been loving in many ways and for that I will always remeber you. I can't stay any longer and you know why. I fear for my life almost everyday when I am with you. You are too abusive. I can do everything you say and you will still hurt me. Why did you have to hurt me. We could have been together forever raising many kids and growing old together. I took many photos from you room, for Christian to remember you. I will always tell him about you, just know it will only be the loving side as one day he might want to find you. Please don't look for us...move on and don't let your angry make her leave too. 

I WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU! I will not be with another as you scarred me for life. My one and only love Chad Russo💋

I felt good writing him that letter but hope he does not go crazy and have a manhunt for me. John took me to some place where a guy made a new ID, birth certificate and ssn. My new name was Mia Grande and Christian also got a new birth certificate and ssn. His first and middle name stayed the same we only changed his last name to Grande. 

After that we drove to the next state over, then took a plane to Hawaii. I never lived on an Island before. 

It has been a week since we been here. I bought a condo for me and Christian. John left that same day we arrived. He made sure the area was safe and his aunt lives 20 minutes from me. She actually seems like family to me. I met her awhile ago when I stayed the night at Amy's house. She is very sweet and loves Christian like a nephew. I have a job interview today so Julie, John's aunt is watching Christian. 

I arrived to Maui West Hospital and went straight to the lobby. I asked the receptionist where to go for my interview and she directed me to the HR's office. Sammy the HR was really nice. I got the job as a nurse and I start tomorrow. I got a way better shift than I expected. I work from 7am-4pm Monday thru Friday. I am thankful that Julie doesn't work she just owns alot of real estate. I drove back to Julie's house and stayed for dinner.

"Cassie I am so proud of you. You have become such an amazing young lady and mom," Julie said. "Thank you! I really don't know what I would have done without you," I said giving her a hug. I started crying, just overjoyed I am starting a new life with my son and Julie.
