Chapter3
Kay surveyed the spacious apartment in awe. She felt as if she was wasting her time. She could never be able to afford the rent. But she stayed to admire it. This was the creme de la creme of higher living. Though Castleton was neighboring Harmony, she wasn't to familiar with which side of town was richer and which was poorer. But she had definitely came to the richer side.
"How much is rent?" She asked expecting to get a number way out her league.
"Well I have most of it all down packed, but I need a roommate, so I'll charge you $250 plus groceries" Fox said
Kays jaw dropped in surprise. She was expecting a number in the thousand almost, but $250 plus the do grocery shopping. That was below her limit. Not that she was complaining, in fact she was ecstatic, but there was something off about it. Why would he charge so low?
"I hope you don't take this the wrong way" She started. "I don't mean to be so forward but, something is off why are you charging so low? Especially for an apartment as extravagant as this one?" She asked.
Fox just shrugged his shoulders. "Well, money isn't problem for me. Like I told you I have everything taken care of. But as you can see I don't have maids to take care of me, at least anymore that is, and frankly Im not to keen on domesticity, so I was more or less looking for someone to help out with the domestic issues of owning a home."
Kay looked at him crossly. "What did you say your name was again?" she asked
"Fox, Fox Crane." He said with his hand in his pocket.
"YES!" She exclaimed
"Excuse me" Fox asked somewhat confused and startled
"Oh, Im sorry for my out burst, but I had been having this strange feeling of déjB vu ever since I saw you and I was trying to remember were I had seen you before and I got it now." She exclaimed happily.
"Huh?" Fox asked
"Your Ethan's brother, right?" Kay asked
"Yeah ." Fox said "You said your name was Bennett right?" Kay nodded "So you're my half brothers, half sister" Fox said
Kay nodded.
"So, its good to see we already know each other, sorta" Fox said chuckling. "So do you want the apartment?" He asked
" I'd be a fool to say no" Kay said smiling. " So when do I move in?" She asked
"Anytime your ready, tomorrow good?" He asked
"Its great"

One month later
Miguel walked into his lonely apartment sighing. He missed his old life. Kay and Maria. But Maria was dead and Kay was gone. He turned on the light switch, and gasped.
"Charity?" He question "What are you doing here, and how the hell did you get in?"
"I came here to see you silly" She said getting up to embrace him. But instead he pushed her aside.
"I mean it what do you want?' he asked staring at the woman who ruined his life
"I came to see if we could start new Miguel" she started "I miss you and I want you back, like how we were before everything"
"We will never be together after you cold bloodily killed my daughter!" He exclaimed. The nerve of her.
"You forget one thing Miguel, you helped. Your just as guilty as me" Charity said with a smirk and Miguel was tempted to slap the hell out of her but he was no woman hitter. He wasn't that much of a coward.
"I didn't know Charity."
"Well how many times have we heard that excuse" she taunted
"Get Out!" He demanded
"No, Miguel that's not what I came here to talk about. I still miss you I want you back" She started softly "What happened to us? Why cant we o back to the way we were before. Before everything got so mixed yup and complicated. I still love you Miguel."
Miguel stared blankly at her. HER. She was the cause of all his problems. "Because you've changed, and I don't love you anymore." He said coldly
A sob caught in charity's throat. It really hurt to hear him say that. 'He was her soul mate, wasn't he? "Well, who do you love?" She asked. She knew the answer but she wanted to ask anyway.
"The person that I've always loved, Kay," he said with a sad smile on his face.
"You know Miguel, at a time I would have thought that I was the one that you loved! Or was it just an act. Were you just going through the motions? Huh?" She said crying and screaming.Miguel just stared at the floor while she carried on her little tantrum. "Answer me. Dammit!" She screamed even louder. Again miguel said nothing. She gave him a bitter smile. "You know Miguel, it hurts to see the one you love with someone else. When you got Kay pregnant my heart broke in a million pieces, but when you proposed to her you killed me inside. I thought that you where just marrying her for Maria's sake and that it would be a loveless marriage. I broke my promise to death for you. I was saving you from a loveless marriage with Kay and A lifetime of pain for Maria. Cant you see, I DID IT FOR YOU! Can you think of what life would have been like for Maria knowing that her parents didn't love each other and that she was a mistake and having to hear them constantly bicker! Cant you see!" She said trying to get him to see it from her point of view
"Don't you Ever call my daughter a mistake!" Miguel warned. " And it looked like you where wrong. I did love Kay, I still do" Miguel said breaking down in tears.
This only infuriated Charity more. To see him love HER. KAY! She had destroyed there relationship with her lies and schemes and that bastard baby of hers. " Well then it must come as a comfort to you that Kay has moved on. She left you and doesn't love you anymore" she spat sarcastically
"What" Miguel looked at her confuse
"Kay invited uncle Sam and Noah to her new apartment, and she's doing great. In fact better than great. She lives with her rich new boyfriend in the upper east side of Castleton" She said viciously purposely pouring salt on his open wounds,
"LIAR!" He shouted
"Oh yeah, you don't believe me check it out for yourself, ask Luis. You know uncle Sam tells him everything" She said daring him
Miguel knew she was telling the truth. He just didn't want to except it and come to terms with it. Kay. His Kay, was moving on without looking back as if she was trying to forget everything. "I already told you I don't love you and I only love Kay so what more do you want?" He asked
"You loved me enough to sleep with me Miguel, and I didn't want to tell you this way. I wanted to tell you under happy circumstances, but im pregnant and the child is yours" She said hoping that would change his view
"Your're what?" he asked surprised.
"Im pregnant. Im going to be having your baby. Your going to be a father again, so forget about Maria and Kay and start focusing on us and our baby. I want us to do right by this baby. We loved each other once, we can do it again."
"I can never forget about them. Never! And I will stand by you and our baby but I will never marry you charity. There will never be a we." Miguel said point blank
"Never say never" She said exiting out of his apartment and leaving him to think.

Two months later
"Hi, honey, Im h-o-ome!"
It was the favorite part of Fox's evening. It was 8:00 PM. And he was finally out of the office and back home.
His apartment was no longer a house, but now a home that he looked forward to coming to, and there was one reason why.
Curled cozily in the corner of their living room sofa, Kay looked up from he book, Her vibrant blue orbs smiling welcome. Fox set his brief case on an empty chair and hung his coat in the coat rack by the door, then collapsed on the other end of the sofa.
He smiled as he waited for her to respond.
"Dinner's ready, dear," She said sweetly.
Fox laughed. It was their Leave It to Beaver ritual, and they'd both enjoy playing at it for the past three months. Fox knew that Kay would live up to her part of the housing agreement. But he didn't expect her to do other things, like cooking and cleaning for the both of them when she'd moved in. But she insisted on doing other things since he was letting her live there for basically nothing. She added a feminine accent to his house. It was more decorated and Fox liked it better. Home was now a place he looked forward to coming to. It was warm and loving. Kay was growing on him. She could be smart and sassy at times, but soft and sensitive at times. She was an interesting person and very complex.
"So how was work today, dear?" She asked
"The usual. Hectic and busy. Being at Crane Industries all day give me a headache"
"Aw, hope you feel better dear,"
Fox smiled "So what's for dinner?" he asked
"My special lasagna for two with white wine and a tiramusu for dessert. I felt like doing a themed dinner for this whole week. Today its little Italy. I figured you could use a break and take a mini vacation around the world"
Fox smiled even harder. Kay always knew how to take away all of his problems and make him feel better no matter what kind of a day he had had. " OK honey" He said as she took his hand leading him into the dinning room.~*~*~*~
Outside a man stared at the exchange between the two. They looked so 'loving' in there fifth floor apartment. Just like a married couple. He couldn't help to be resentful.
"Was she right?" He questioned himself , 'had the love of his life moved on with someone else?'
"I have to get her back!" He said to himself
