Chapter 230 - My Biggest Regret

Katherine's POV continues...

He made a call to his father for the first time in his life even though he hated him so much for betraying his mom. 

Mr. Brown attended the Call as Steven made a call from my father's mobile. 

" Hello. It's me. Steven Lawrence," Steven introduced himself and narrated the situation at our home. He asked to help us by sheltering us for a few days till everything settled at our place. My father wanted to change the place. 

After ending the call, Steven said that Mr. Brown agreed to help us and send his private jet for us in two days. My father was relieved to know that Steven's father agreed to help. 

...

We started packing for belongings as per our father's instructions. When I was packing my father's luggage, he told the three of us to leave the Mansion as he had a responsibility to take care of the company. I requested him to come to us but he refused my plea. 

Martin heard our conversation and said, " I will stay with Uncle Luther. From my childhood, he sheltered me, made me study, and gave me a good family. This is the time to pay back. I respect him and adore him as my God. So, I will be with him. You and Ruby go to Mr. Brown's place "

I wanted to stay with them but I don't want to risk my baby's life. So I agreed with him unwillingly. I failed as a daughter on that day. On the other hand, Grayson was not arrested by the police as they didn't get strong evidence against him in Lisa's death.

….

We were waiting for Mr. Brown's call after two days but to our surprise, he either called us or sent the private plane. The same evening, my father made a call as he was anxious about me. When we made a call to him, his wife Clara attended the call and informed us that they were at a charity event. 

" We can't risk our lives by helping you because the enemies of yours are befriended by the Mafia. So, don't make a call to us " she informed.

" I want to speak with your husband, " my father said.

" He doesn't want to talk with you, that's the reason, he gave me his mobile to convey the information. And remember an important thing, don't call us and disturb us " she said and disconnected the call.

" I had a small hope in Mr. Brown. But…." My father said with disappointment.

" Uncle Luther… From now on, Kathie and Ruby's security is my responsibility. Don't stress yourself and disturb your health…" Martin promised my father.

….

Three days passed like that. I started doing my work from home. My father didn't allow me to leave the house. Literally, I was prisoned in my own house because of that bastard. 

When I was doing my work on my laptop, I felt uncomfortable in my stomach. I was so scared of my baby. Immediately I informed Martin and we both went to the hospital without my father's knowledge. 

After the check-up, the doctor told me to not stress out during pregnancy as the growth of the fetal is not well and warned me, " if you are negligent about your health, then you have to lose hope in the baby growing in your womb " 

I started worrying about my health and my baby. I just wanted my Adrian with me at that moment and started crying, placing my palm on my stomach. 

" I will take care of her health…." Martin informed the doctor and we walked out of her cabin together.

" Don't worry. I am there for you. Nothing will happen to you or your baby… " Martin said, wiping my tears.

While we were returning to our Mansion, we got a call from our home. I attended the call.

" Madam...Grayson is at our Mansion. Please don't come here…" that voice was of one of our maids.

" What about my father? " I asked her anxiously and my heart was racing in fear.

" He locked the Master and Ruby in the bedroom. I am giving this information to you hiding from him. He killed all the maids in our mansion. Luckily I escaped from him and hid in the kitchen" she said in a shivering voice.

Martin took my mobile as he heard our conversation. When he asked her another question, there was no response. We heard the gun firing sound. Martin ordered the driver to drive fast. In fifteen minutes we reached our Mansion. 

The scene we witnessed made us terrified. All the security guards were dead and were lying in the blood. My body started shivering with fear and closed my eyes in fear. Martin held my hand and we walked together inside the Mansion. All the furniture was misshelved and was lying on the floor. We could see a few maids dead while walking towards my father's bedroom. 

" Welcome….my love. I expect that you will come for your father as you love him so much…`` We heard Grayson's voice as soon as we stepped inside his bedroom. We found two of his men along with him. He pointed a gun at my father's head and strangled my father's throat with his other hand. And he also tied Ruby with rope to one of the chairs.

" Please… leave my father and Ruby. I can't see someone die because of me " I begged, kneeling on the floor.

" If you agree to stay with me as a sex slave all your life, I will leave your father and that girl. Are you okay with my proposal? " he asked, looking at me with lust.

I sobbed, closing my face with my palms. I felt death is the easiest punishment better than staying as….

" Let him kill me but don't agree with him, Princess. Just go away from here…" my father shouted. But I looked at Ruby who was crying silently. Already Aunt Lisa died because of me. I didn't want Ruby to die because of me as I promised her mother to take care of her.

" What are you thinking? Don't you want to be my mistress? Huh? " Grayson laughed wickedly.

I sobbed at his words without replying to his question. Then he said to me, " then marry me and accept me as your husband. Before I change my mood, tell me the answer" 

I took a long breath, lowered my eyes. I apologized to the person in my heart and replied, " I will marry you…" 

" Wow…. if I knew that you love your father so much, I would have tried to convince you in this way. By this time, we would be married…" he said with a smirk. 

I raised my head and looked at him with disgust. 

" Kathie...are you crazy. He is a psycho. Don't marry him…" Martin advised me.

" You shut your mouth, bastard. Or else I will kill you…" he warned Martin. 

" As I agreed to marry you, leave my father and Ruby…." I said. He laughed at me and said, " Am I looking like a fool to you to leave your father?"

" At least….leave Ruby. She already lost her mother. Let her go. She has nothing to do with you, " my father said to Grayson.

Then Grayson instructed his men to untie Ruby and they did as per his orders. Ruby quickly ran towards us while crying. I hugged her tightly and patted her head.

" Martin…" My father called his name. While hugging Ruby, I looked at my father with tears. The next thing he did made us startled. He gripped Grayson's wrist tightly with both hands and said, " Three of you get away from this place. I don't want my daughter to get married to this psycho. Don't think about me…"

" Dad...please...don't talk like that…" I pleaded.

" Kathie…. I want you to be happy with the person you love, not with this bastard. If you love your father, the three of you will escape from here, " he said. 

" I can't leave you like this, dad " I cried.

The next second, he held Grayson's wrist with one hand and took his gun. He fired the gun on his body. Grayson ordered his men to catch us whereas Martin was trying to stop them.

" Princess, I love you… please leave " he noted and asked Martin to take us from our mansion. When I was still in shock, Martin dragged us out of the room and locked the door from outside.

" Dad…." I cried but Martin asked me to think of the baby and forcefully took me and Ruby with him. We started in our car aimlessly. Then he made a call to Mr. Joseph for help.

Mr. Joseph helped to escape from that city. But in the accident, Martin's legs were injured. We started our new life in the new city. As we have no certificates with us, I used to work as a waitress in restaurants. But I always regret leaving my father in that condition.

Her past end….

PRESENT….

Just then Adrian got a call from his house. 

" Master….someone kidnapped your mother " a maid informed him.

" What? " Adrian stood up from the chair in shock.
