Anyway I hope you guys enjoy this current story that I'm writing on Wattpad called Redemption!

It's a Season 8 AU because oh my gosh the ending of castle was so disappointing! Still love my babies tho!

SUMMARY: He had enough, he was tired of being the world's funniest kid; She left him and in doing so she broke that final straw!

CHARACTERS- Rick Castle, Kate Beckett, Alexis will be in a few chapters and the gang of course! I moved the ages a bit so Alexis is 10, Rick is around 29 and Kate is 25.

She storms into the loft with a scowl on her face, determination gleaming in her eyes, she looks around the living room and his office first, finally figuring out he's in the bedroom. Her hunch was right as she finds her husband in their room, packing a suitcase full of clothes.

She walks to the other side of the bed and throws the papers that were currently burning a hole in her hands on the bed, "Rick, what are these?"

Rick sighs as he folds his shirts, "What do you think Kate? They're divorce papers."

Kate glares at him and lets out a shaky breath, "Yes I know that but why are you serving me with them!?" She demands, hurt and anger rising in her tone.

Rick snorted, she had no right to get angry, she was the one who left him.

She was the one who went on some secret crusade mission and left him like a sick puppy.

Rick turns to her and folds his arms, "You can be free now Kate, have fun, go do whatever mission you're on or..whatever person you're doing it with." He gave a tired smile and turned back to his suitcase.

Kate shakes her head and steps around the bed, tugging her husband's arm violently so that he couldn't easily escape.

She was wrong, he easily ripped her hand off his bicep and threw it away, "Stop Kate, you don't get to do this! Now that you lost me you're going to go on with the speech that you never meant to hurt me and expect me to take you back, but I'm not, I'm not taking you back because you left me for something I don't even know."

His shoulders shrugged and then slumped down in defeat.

He was so done with being taken like a clumsy, doofus.

He strides out of his bedroom where Kate was currently in the middle of silently crying.

What had she done! Stupid stupid fool Kate.

"Rick." She pleads, she knew he wasn't listening but she couldn't just let go, not after everything they've been through. Castle was throwing some snacks into a go bag, not paying attention to her pleas. "Lucy when's my flight time?" he questions the CPU. The perfect, electronic voice responded, "In exactly 3.5 Hours Rick."

"Thanks lucy."

"Anytime Rick."

Kate bit her lip, if she had been here she would have been able to see how much fun he was having with lucy, she was not going to let him get away. She would purchase a plane ticket if she had too. "I'll have Paula draw up a check with the correct amount for the royalties of Nikki's books, it should be around 10 million, and if you think that cleans me out don't worry, that's barely anything for me."

Kate growls and steps in front of the kitchen entrance to block him from moving, she didn't want money! She wanted him.

"No Castle, I don't want the money, I want.."

"What Kate? What do you want." He asked tiredly, not wanting to fight her.

"You, I want you." Rick snorted, a wryly graced his lips, "Why does that sound familiar?"

Kate bit her lip, "I know you probably didn't cheat on me Kate but you did cheat our partnership, you cheated out of our marriage and cheating is a huge deal breaker for me Kate Now-"

"Richard Castle I would never cheat on you ever." she pointed her finger in his face, a flake of anger pooling in her hazel eyes.

Castle rolls his eyes and steps passed her, "Excuse me if I don't exactly believe you." He answers with a scoff.

"I was investigating Locksat, not secretly dating anyone, if you're leaving you deserve to know." She murmurs, her head dipping.

Rick stops in his tracks, "Locksat? As in the Allison Hyde case?"

Kate sighed and lifted her head, "Yes, he has ties to Bracken and I felt so guilty about my old FBI team getting killed, I needed to get justice." She was no good at words, that was his strong suit but she would try anything at this point. Rick still had his defenses up as high as he could and his anger was still flaring in the cerulean blue of his eyes but he defeated a bit to show a hint of compassion,"It's who you are, you want justice for people but..you also hurt those in your life."

At the she suppressed a sob, would she ever fix things?! "I know you think I'm the one throwing away the marriage, but I'm afraid I'm just the one leaving before it falls to complete pieces..although I think it's already in shambles." He pressed a kiss to her forehead, one last scent of her, one last memory.

"Goodbye Kate, I hope you find someone who loves you, guess he needs to be stronger than me." He squeezes her shoulder.

Kate was about to respond but was only answered by the slam of the front door.

He felt lighter, freer almost, he didn't want to leave could never NOT love her but she stepped over the line that threaded his heart together. Stomped all over it and dragged it to the curb. He had two ex-wives, he didn't want a third but contrary to what the public thought all the divorces were the other half's thought Kate was different, he thought she knew how to deal with his fragile was wrong, out of his three marriages this one hurt the most, not even Meredith cheating on him and Gina marrying him only for his money hurt as bad as this. Kate was his true love, or he thought.

"No more games." he growls to himself. Castle quickly hails himself a cab, if he's going to make it to London in time he needs to get to the airport within the next hour.

Rick pays the cabbie a large tip as he exits the car, not even bothering to check how much he handed him, it was probably more than there should of been but money was the last thing on his mind right now.

"Mr. Castle?"

Rick looks up at the flight attendant with a tired smile, "Yes?"

The blonde gives him a flirtatious smile as well as a girly giggle, "Can I get you anything? water, wine, Whiskey?"

He smiles a friendly smile, he was used to this, She was sweet and kind and obviously a gold digger.

He takes out a 5 dollar bill, presses it into her hands, "Whiskey, no ice; would be great, thanks."

She smiles and tucks the bill in her pocket, "No problem, I'll get that right away." She informs, patting his shoulder as she walks away to deal with other passengers.

The person he's sitting next to has a stat struck gaze, he was being recongnized! No no no no, he wanted to be left alone. The young girl simply asks for his autograph and then promises not to bother him. He flashes a friendly smile, she was simply a fan who wanted his autograph so he writes some kind words on t he inside cover and gently hands the book back. Hopefully he could have a restful and peaceful flight for the next 7 hours.

Kate was paralyzed, she couldn't move, she didn't no how long it had been since her husband stormed out of their loft not even saying where he was going. Maybe he had a book tour? No he packed way to many clothes for just a week or two. Kate made her way into his office, maybe he left his computer?

No luck, his computer was gone, only his smart board was left. Kate gave a long groan of irritation, how could he just leave her!?

You left him Kate! A voice whispered into her ear.

"Yea but why'd he have to leave? He always fights for us, what changed!?" She yelled to know one.

you broke his heart to many times, maybe this time you need to go get him.

Kate sucked in a breath, her legs moved her to the couch somehow.

Go get him, if you still love him and want him, go get him.

Beckett lifted her head, she wasn't giving up without a fight. Her bag was packet minutes later, "Lucy..where's rick? Did he tell you?" She pleads with the computer."No he didn't tell me, but if he had I wouldn't give it to you." A sarcastic comment replied, Kate gasped, how did a computer sound like that!? Surely he didn't program her like that.

"Lucy please, he had to mention something."

"Go away Kate, you don't belong here, you don't deserve him." Another cold reply came, Kate sucked in a breath. Surely a computer..nah.

Kate walked out of the loft with determination, she would find Rick if it was the last thing she did. If she had to beg, plead and roll over she would make him realize what a mistake she made.

"Mr. Castle, welcome to England, may I take your bags?" A older African man offered, Rick smiled and nodded.

"Thanks."

"My pleasure, and may I say I love your books, I'm so happy your here, we're so excited you've agreed to take our offer on the new book deal." He smiled.

Rick offered a friendly smile, if this was any other day he would have been excited to talk about a certain British agent book series but at this moment he just wanted to get rid of the memory of Nikki heat and Kate Beckett.
