Mommy...Can you Win Daddy's Love again?

Chapter 223 - Luther's Ultimatum

Adrian 's mobile rang and the call was from  Thomas. He immediately attended the call as he was staying with Kathie. He wanted to know whether she was awake or not?

" Addy… Come fast.." he almost shouted over the call. He quickly ran towards the stairway and reached the sickroom. He found Thomas holding her tightly and she was wriggling to come out of his grip. The group of people were watching them.

  " Let me …. die…I am only a curse to my beloved ones…I dont want to live" she was crying and was struggling to come out of his grip. Then he understood why Thomas was tensed and held her tightly. He could not believe his eyes that Kathie was trying to kill herself. 

" Kathie…."  he called her name and quickly went to her taking a long strides.  Thomas instantly left her and gestured with his eyes to handle her. He hugged her tightly and said, " Are you gone mad? What will I tell to Sam if he asks me about you?" 

She raised her head and looked at him," Did he open his eyes? Did he talk with you?" Adrian cupped her tears and lied to her," He is out of danger. Just kept in icentive care for observation."

"Let's go and meet him…" she said.

"Kathie…He is in effect of the sedative. So we can talk with tomorrow" he lied again. Instantly her face turned to gloomy. After a few seconds, she pleaded to him, "let me see him for once"

He thought for a while and said, " I will take you there but you have to promise that you will not cry or do stupid things as you did a few minutes back…" She nodded her head and lowered her eyes.

He hugged her and asked, " How you think taking your life by jumping out of the window? Didnt you thought of me? Do you want me leave alone again?". She hid her face in his chest and sobbed, making her shirt wet.

" I thought if I die all the problems would be solved…" she cried.

" We have to face the problem but not ran away from it. I never thought my buttercup is weak. I thought she is so strong and independent woman…." he patted her back. She fisted his shirt and apologised him.

"Okay. Let go to see Sam …" he said, cupping her face. Both of them went to the floor in the elevator. When they were walking towards the incentive care, she noticed their friends outside the incentive unit. Adrian held her hand and took her inside to show their son. 

He held her closer to his body as he knew how difficult for a mother to see their child in that condition. Her heart sank when she looked at her son with sadness. She was not in position to feel anything but her son's face. Her body become numb.  Tears were the only sources to know anyone how much pain in her heart was.

As he knew her mental state, he took her out of the incentive unit. Eventhough she came out, tears from her eyes like a niagara falls. " Kathie… " Adrian called her name but there was no response from her. She blankly at his face and then all of sudden she cried louder hugging him as her sobbing were echoed in that floor. He felt so vulnerable on seeing her condition.

He patted her back to show her that he is there for her. "Kathie… stop crying. The same pain  is going in my heart but being a man, I cannot show it. But I promise you that I made that bastard to pay for his deed… " he said.

Immediately, she moved away from him and looked at his face with shock and fear.

" Buttercup… tell me, what happened without hiding anything from me? Atleast now? " He asked but it was like a plea. She looked at Ruby as still she is dilemma to tell the truth.

" Its already too late. Our Sam is in this position…" Ruby said.  Adrian looked at Steven and asked him to take from this place as she was pregnant and she was looking tired. Steven nodded his head.

" Don't allow stranger inside. Watch carefully. I will be back in twenty minutes" Steven warned before taking Ruby with him to feed some food.

" I will be take care …" Thomas said. Thomas stood at the entrance where as both Adrian and Katherine sat on the wooden bench opposite to the incentive unit so that he could easy to observe if someone enters inside. 

She leaned her head on his shoulder and entwined with his arms. " I am here with you. No need to worry about anything. I will protect you and our son " he said caressing her hair. She wanted the same words a few years when she was  catched in troubles but at that time , he was not with him.

"Adrian… all the problems were started after I returned completing my studies…" she started telling.

"Buttercup, trust me…I will never judge you. You can tell me anything…" he said, taking her hands ito his palms. For that she replied, " I knew it, Ad because till today you didnt force me to tell anything but today somehow I am reason for our Sam's condition". A single drop of tear fell from her eyes while she said the last words.

"Shh….you never be the reason of Sam's accident. I know you love him so much," he said.

" Ad, its your love for me which is making you to speak in that way but I know why he attacked our son " she said. He remained silent as he was so eager to know what happened to her and where is her family.

Katherine POV

My father selected a groom to me without my knowledge when I was studying at business university as he was obvious about our love. He announced about my engagement with his selected person on his birthday. I was shocked and surprised as the most decision of life was taken by my father without my knowledge.  I controlled myself as it was not right time to oppose him infront of everyone in the party. He was one of the renowned person and a business tycoon. I dont want to degrade him among the guests.

As soon as everyone left the party, I told him that I will marry one and only person, adrian whom I love. He was hurt by words as it was the first time I disagreed with his words. " Princess… Its just infatcuation but not love. I love you so much and whatever I do it is for your future," he said and went to his bedroom.

The next one week, he didn't talk with me then he started avoiding me. He didnt give chance to talk about the person, I want to marry. For past few days, I tried to talk with him but One day, he came to my bedroom to informed me about my engagement date.

" Dad… I already told you that I want to marry the person whom I love…" I told my decision.

" If you want him then you have to chose only one person in your life, me or him. Whom will you choose? " he asked me, making me startled. I never imagined that my father will be so rude with me.

" What if I choose him over you?" I questioned him back.

" So…this is the respect, you give for your father? " he shouted. To which I retorted, " then what about you? You didnt care about my feelings. I wanted to marry a person who loves me but not a rich man who can only give luxuries…"

"I never thought you are so stupid. The person who loved you trapped you for money. I knew about those low class people. More over, I don't believe in love," he said.

I got angry when he blamed as a person who trapped in love then said, " without meeting him, how can you decide that he is not a right person? Without seeing him nor talking to him, how could you talk about the person whom I loved?" I questioned.

" I am not interested to meet him. If I came to know that you are still in contact with that man, the consequences will be very bad. This is not threatening, but an ultimatum" he said his decision and locked me in my bedroom. My father didnt allow me to talk with anyone even Aunt Lisa. He took away from mobile so that I could not communicate with anyone. Only Servant maids used to come to give food. 

I cried alone in the room thinking of you. There was no one to help me to convey the messages. It was almost two weeks, he prisoned me in my own room. Just in that time, Martin returned to our Mansion to attend my engagement.
