Chapter 5

Charity's Delight

Charity couldn't believe that Miguel had walked out on her to go find Kay. After all that she had put them through. How dare he? Well that was fine, let Kay have her moment because Miguel would be hers again. They were meant to be together. It was fate. Who cares if she cheated with Fox? Fate wouldn't change because of that.

A few hours later Charity saw Miguel walking dejectedly back to his house. Maybe he didn't find Kay. Or maybe she had rejected him. Either way it didn't matter. Miguel had gone home alone.

"Hey Charity, how are you honey?"

"Oh I am fine Aunt Grace, how are you?"

"I am good. Look do you know where Kay is? I need her to help me make dinner."

"No but I can help you."

Grace smiled at her niece. She was such a sweet and considerate young woman, unlike Kay. Kay used to be like that, but not anymore. Just today Sam had accused Grace of loving Charity more. But she didn't did she?

"NO thanks Charity. I'll just go see if she is up in her room."

Just as Grace started to climb the stairs Jessica and Sam came home. They were sitting in the living room when Grace came running down the stairs.

"Sam thank God you are home." She exclaimed. "I think Kay has run away!"

"What? Are you sure?" Sam asked unbelieving.

"Some of her clothes are missing and her savings are gone. Every penny; I found her bank on the bed!"

Sam glared at his wife. "This is all your fault you know."

"My fault?" Grace asked puzzled.

"Yes your fault." Sam said picking up the phone. "You're too hard on her. You haven't been a mother to her through out any of this."

Grace was outraged. Was it her fault that Kay was the way she was? Jessica had not turned out that way, neither had Noah, so she didn't see how Sam could blame this on her.

"Who are you calling Dad?" Jessica asked. Even though she and Kay rarely got along, Jessica still loved her and was worried about her.

"I'm calling the guys at the station to have someone on the look out for her. Then I am going to call Luis and try to find her."

After Sam had made the calls, he took a quick shower and dressed extra warm. He headed for the door, stopping only once to look at Grace. "If I don't find her, I'll never forgive you Grace."

Charity smiled to herself. This was even better than she thought. If Kay had run away she would never have to worry about Miguel again. He would run back to her arms and they would live happily ever after.

"Is there anything that I can do Aunt Grace?"

"No Charity. Kay is...well I don't know what has gotten into her lately. I know that this has been hard on you. I am sure or at least I am hoping she will go back to being the Kay I used to know."

"I can't help but feel like this is all my fault." Charity said. "If I hadn't come along this would have never happened." She might as well as play on Grace's sympathy too.

Up until a few days ago she had every thing in life. She had never been a bitter person until now. But Kay had left her no choice and neither had Miguel.

I can't believe Kay is gone! This makes it so much easier for me to get what I want. I mean I have already replaced her in her mother's heart, and Miguel's. Now it is time to work on dear old "daddy".

Charity snickered to herself as she headed up the stairs to her bedroom. She couldn't believe her luck!
