Chapter 20: Chapter 20
Something big was happening, someone was crying violently. Kate narrowed her eyes and it hit her that she was standing in a graveyard. She looked around and saw her friend Naomi leading someone away then stopped by her side.
' I'm so sorry for your loss" she wanted to ask who she lost then her brother hugged her too sniffling.
" I'm so sorry sis" she didn't care to know who died but seeing Louis weep broke her as she burst into tears holding him tight then saw Alvin in the crowds staring dead at her then she looked at the stone to see who died. It obvious it was someone dear to her. The name was boldly written: Simon Reagan aged nothing then it started to rain.
She looked to her right again and found him gone, everyone was gone. She was alone mourning Simon. She touched the stone and saw the date, he died in a period of seven months. She and Alvin's son but why was he staring dead at her. Is he blaming her? Heck, how did she get pregnant for him?
The whimpering intensified as Lisa and Annette pressed a towel to her head. Bianca was worried for her. They've been trying to wake her for hours after hearing a thunderous scream in the middle of the night.
Bianca had to send for her son cos she knew he'll accuse her should anything bad happens to her.
Meanwhile, Kate's weeping intensified now holding a dead baby in her hands, blood dripping from his head. It seems someone killed him. She heard someone cackling then held her son to her chest.
A hooded figure moved. She noticed it and chased after it. Lost in grief, she trailed after the intruder. It was blurry, she couldn't make out the face then she hit a hard chest and looked up seeing a weeping Alvin looking at the body of their dead son. She looked at him feeling the need to console him then felt something wrong.
His eyes were crimson red, his gaze was murderous. He turned to her and spoke
" You killed him! He accused in a condescending tone sending shivers down her spine. She didn't know what to do so she reached for her son but he pushed her off yelling
" Don't touch my son. He's dead because of you. You. murdered your own blood. Kate! Her breathing increased. She tried moving away from him but couldn't as she started wheezing from the shock.
Beads of sweat were dripping from her body despite the air condition in the room. Her nightwear was drenched. Tears were rolling from her eyes as Lisa and Annette panicked wondering what was happening to her.
" Mrs. Kang, she's crying. What do we do? Bianca was clueless. She hasn't witnessed such a thing before. So she decided to get a doctor. Maybe he can wake her up from dying in her sleep.
They proceeded to warm her up then changed their mind placing icepacks on her hoping she'll Wake up upon the impact while waiting for the doctor.
The wheezing escalated as Alvin moved slowly towards her holding their bleeding dead baby. She choked crumbling to the ground crawling looking at him expecting him to hurt her then she was back to their house in Jamaica. She looked around, everyone was wearing black giving her pitiful glances then she heard Loui's voice wailing in agony then ran inside.
The sight of her mother in a coffin was what appeared. She lost balance staggering towards her coffin then screamed her lungs out awakened weeping Lisa hugged her calming her down.
Bianca heaved a sigh of relief muttering thanks to the doctor.
Kate wept for the next fifteen minutes.
" You're safe now. No one will hurt you here. Kate? Lisa cooed as she opened her eyes hiccuping then Annette handed her a cup of water
' I saw deaths, Lisa. My mother? My wonderful mother and my son. Someone killed him " she stated. Bianca tensed up as soon as she heard about the child and faced her
" You had a son for Alvin? She asked for the details as Kate narrated everything.
Bianca wasn't ready to jeopardize the life of her future grandchildren. So she decided to put her plan at Bay.
" It was so real Lisa. I held him in my arms. I'm glad it was a dream. " She spoke after calming down.
Bianca left her room in deep thought wondering if there was such a thing. Whatever it was she was suddenly scared for her grandchildren. Kate was trapped in that dream. It meant something. She was going to be extra careful when the time comes. Her grandson wasn't going to get killed in her watch.
Scared to go back to sleep, Kate opted for the next option reading books though Lisa and Annette offered to sleep over she didn't want to deprive them of sleep more than she already has. So she bid them good night then the door was pushed open revealing a worried Alvin in a chaotic state.
Lisa and Annette regarded him then narrated the ordeal
" Are you sure my mom didn't put something in her food? He inquired but they shook their head.
He sighed trailing to her bed then dropped a pack of Chinese herbs on the table checking for damages.
Kate sat still watching him check her body, the feeling of De Ja Vu creeping in. he seemed he was worried about her.
" The doctor checked me already. It was just a bad Dream' she tells him but Alvin didn't think so.
" I see. What was so scary that had you crying? He asked taking his shoes off then his shirt leading her to the bed
" Well, seeing my mom in a coffin did " she stated withdrawing the rest information not that she was going to give him children. She fiddled with her arms then sat up scared to lie down
" Your mom is alive Kate. She might have diabetes but she's not dying soon. I assure you. Now come to bed. I rushed here to check on you" he informed as she shook her head in defiance
" I'm not sleeping. I almost died in my sleep Alvin. I'm not going to sleep ever" she said as a matter of fact then he smiled
" Well, if that's what you want who am I to refuse? The smirk on his face scared her as she could make do with his words wiggling her fingers
" No then come to bed. Let me hold you. No harm will befall you in my arms. Don't you trust me? I'll never let anything hurt you. That's why I've all these bulging muscles. To protect you" he coaxed just like he did two years ago. She blinked crawling into his arms resting on his chest.
Alvin smiled rubbing her back with fervor with his hands on her waist.
" Your mom is safe. " He cooed drawing circles on her back then she sighed relieved holding him then spoke
" Alvin? He hummed giving his permission
" Do you... I mean do you... I'm sorry I'm just sleepy" she stuttered feeling her ass been squeezed then looked up at him shaking her head
" It' won't hurt. I just need a quick release. Kate" she disengaged from him wondering if he was a sex maniac. He had her twenty-four hours ago. What's with the release? She pushed him off rolling on her back to stop him from trapping her.
" Kate c'mon. Fine, if you don't want it I'll just go to Cynthia. Come let me hold you to sleep" he threatened as she scoffed. Ever scheming Alvin. Here she thought he was worried about her but it seemed he was there for a release. Pervert.
" No thanks. I'm fine now. You can go back to work. I thought you were out of the country? She asked he scoffed reaching for her but she moved to another part of the bed giving him the mocking Stare
" I don't need a release anymore. C'mon, good girl " he cooed as she rolled her eyes. What's she sixteen?
" Nope. I'm sure your mother wants to speak with you" she suggested as he nods reaching for his shoes and shirt, put them on, and made for the door while she crossed her arms across her chest with a victorious smirk
" I bet Cynthia will be welcoming" he muttered which she heard but sneered. It wasn't the first time he cheated but it did wipe the smirk off her face. She turned around to continue her book perhaps get some sleep later.
