Free Taken Love by KC Royale

was moved to a nursing facility and could no longer care for him.
    But none of that seemed to matter, and it didn’t stop the bashing, that was a real horror to witness. I had never seen my parents this riled up, and I think I was in shock, as I sat there, while JP held my hand under the table. Of course my parents thought we were rushing things, and making irrational choices that we would later regret. But JP’s aunt and uncle supported us one hundred percent in our marriage plans, and our plans to defer college for a year.  So, regardless of the arguing and disappointment I would cause my parents with my decision, we married that next day and I couldn’t have been happier. I was now Kathleen Toth-Chamberlin Pierce, but I decided to drop my maiden names, and just go with, Kathleen Pierce.
     

Chapter 9
     
    WE EXCHANGED GOLD wedding bands and made it official. I was excited, but a little nervous about being a wife so young. I knew I wanted this, and that to me was more than enough. I would be the best wife I could be to my husband. Our futures were bright and full of promise. Blair would be off to Boston in a few weeks for Harvard, and JP and I decided to delay college for a year and stay in town. We would wait and get settled in our new arrangement of living together, and being husband and wife, then next year we’d both head to our prospective universities. I only hoped that Columbia University would still have me, but I was sure they would. A year break wasn't the end of the world, but yet my parents made it sound like it was. Telling them our plans was like setting off a handmade tornado, and resulted in them not talking to me for approximately six days. But I was eighteen, and I could do what I wanted to do, and what I decided was now my law. JP immediately had access to his trust fund, a week after graduating high school, and he was so excited.
    I was happy for him, he was more than financially secured, to the tune of a twenty million dollar trust. I was in utter shock at that number, but apparently he could gain access to half now, and the other half at twenty five. When his lawyer presented us with papers to sign, I nearly screamed out at seeing a ten million dollar cashier’s check presented to us both. It was like winning the lottery, when you’d never even bought a ticket. We signed papers, and I had no clue what I was signing, but I knew he set up a will and some insurance policies for us both. He also set up an account for me, and deposited a million dollars inside, even though I told him I didn’t need that much. We were in his lawyer’s office preparing to receive a check of millions, and all I could think of was how much I loved him. Having him as my husband was the lottery for me. I was so lucky.
    “Baby, what’s mine is yours. We have no pre- nup, so I want you to relax and have whatever it is you want.”
    “I already have what I want, and his name is JP.” I blushed.
    “I second that, KP.” He smiled. “KP?” I repeated.
    “Yeah, do you mind?” He smirked.
    “Not at all... KP, baby, Kathleen, my wife… your choice. I love you.” I kissed his lips softly.
    “Love you , to pieces.” He stated, while gazing lovingly at me.
    “I know, me too.” I muttered, and he leaned forward and quickly kissed my lips, as we finished with the paperwork. Soon after, we bought a two bedroom condo, and moved in immediately. I picked out the furnishings, and took a few cooking classes. I became a real housewife, and I loved it. I began to write more, to pass the time, and it became more infinite to me with each passing day. Meanwhile, JP had meetings with his lawyer, and a few business men, a few times a week. He wanted to invest, and start his own business in financing. I supported his dream, and his drive. He was very passionate. The man had a plan, and now that he had his own financial backing, he was unstoppable in his pursuits. He always wanted to go to college for business and finance anyways,
