Kate just looked at the other woman as she waved the pistol in the air. The security guards came running towards them.

“Stay away or I will blow her brains out” Stella said as she yanked Kate by her hair. Stella was 5ft 9 and easily towered over Kate she kicked Kate behind her knees, making her buckle down in front of Stella.

Kate yelled out in pain.

“Keep your filthy trap shut you whore” Stella growled at her as she kicked Kate in her back.

A crowd had gathered outside and there were sirens in the distance as NYPD made their way to the museum but that was not going to stop Stella.

“You thought you had Jayson didn’t you? JAYSON REYNOLDS IS MINE AND ONLY MINE”

Kate looked up at Stella with a confused expression. Kate was so dazed. Her brain couldn’t even comprehend the situation.

The guards moved the crowd back and five of them stepped up with their weapons pointed.

“Drop the weapons or I won’t hesitate before killing this bitch. She is going to die anyway but I want my answers before I put a bullet through her head.”

The head guard signaled the others to lower their weapon. He recognized a mentally unstable person when he saw one. This woman was a tool.

A lady came and whispered in the head’s ear “NYPD is downstairs”.

“Keep her occupied” The head guard, Mike Dawson said to the man on his left and retreated.

Stella was too busy cursing Kate to notice that exchange.

“What do you want from Ms. Anderson?” The guard asked as he stepped forward.

“Step back asshole” Stella sneered.

“Why don’t you ask this man stealing whore. Jayson Reynolds is mine. I knew him first. He is my first love and she thinks she cane waltz right in with her whoring and take him away?”

“You listen to me” Stella looked down and jerked Kate by her hair. “I gave you so many chances but you didn’t back down so I am going to make sure you no longer stay on our lives but I will make sure that JJ sees me finishing you off so that he knows who is his real woman. I am better suited to be by his side.”

“Call up Jayson Reynolds and ask him to come down, his true love is waiting” Stella said to the guard. The guard looked to his partner who nodded and he retreated back.

“What the fuck is happening? I just got damn call saying that a woman walked in here with a gun and just held another woman hostage” Jack Stinson asked, a cop with NYPD.

“That woman is a nutcase. She is waving that revolver around like crazy. She can shoot anyone.” The head guard Mike said.

“You had the area cleared?”

“Yes. Four members of my team are there.”

"Okay look. We could go barging in there but I could have done that 10 minutes ago. I have seen these loose ends. She will blow up the other woman. You were able to talk to the woman?”

“She is rambling at the moment”

“BOSS!” The guard came running toward them.

“What is it Johnson?” Mike asked.

“This is completely crazy. That psycho woman is holding Kate Anderson hostage. She is asking for Jayson Reynolds.”

“What the fuck is going on here?! This is turning into a bloody circus. So you are telling me that woman is waving guns over a man?” Jack spit out.

Great, he had just walked out an interrogation which was finally turning out in his favor to come solve out a love triangle. What was this world coming to?

The younger guard nodded his head and Mike pinched the bridge of his nose.

“Johnson, go back up there and tell that psycho that Mr. Reynolds is on the way. I need you to buy us time.” Mike said as Johnson nodded and ran back up.

“What is the scene?” Jack asked after he asked one of his team members to get in contact with Jayson Reynolds.

“Kate Anderson’s office is on the first floor. It is the last room at the end of the corridor. The corridor is right up those stairs” Mike said pointing to the stairs behind Jack.

“So the room is open towards the corridor.” Jack said

Mike nodded.

“Any windows?

“Yes one. On the central wall” Jack nodded as he thought it over.

“Sir we got in contact with Reynolds. He will be here any minute” Jack's team member said.

“Okay good. Look Mike, we have to work around Reynolds. That woman wants Reynolds and we have to make him lure her away from the hostage”

“Okay got it.”

Jack called out to his team as they started coordinating

Jayson's car screeched to a halt outside the museum and he saw police cars parked outside.

He was in a meeting when he got a call that Kate was being held hostage at the museum. He had sprinted out of there that very second. His brain was going to explode. Kate and hostage?

He ran up the stairs, his security right behind him.

“Officer what the hell is going on?” Jayson asked.

“I am still trying to figure it out” Jack said as he took in the billionaire. These ultra rich people always attracted useless trouble.

“What do you mean? I just got a fucking call that my fiancée is being held as hostage!”

“Yes by one of you ex lovers.”

Jayson clenched his jaw.

“Does a name Stella Campbell ring any bells?” Jack asked.

“We need to move fast. That woman is getting restless” Mike interrupted them.

“Stella?” Jayson pulled at his hair. This situation was getting bizarre by the minute.

“She is not my ex lover. She is the friend of my kid sister” Jayson growled at the officer.

“Look we are running out of time so here is what you have to do” Jack said.

----------------------------------------------------

“Where is my Jayson!? He is not here yet!!!” Stella yelled.

Why was her JJ taking so long? Maybe he really didn’t care about this woman?

“Wake up you bitch!” Stella kicked Kate who had passed out from shock and also the blow that Stella gave to her head with the butt of the gun.

“He will be here” Johnson said as he noticed every little movement that psycho woman made. She had butted Katherine’s head pretty hard and Johnson was worried about a concussion.

He had relayed to Mike that they were running out of time. Just as Johnson reached for his transmitter, he heard footsteps behind him.

Jack, Mike and Jayson came down the corridor.

Jayson took in the scene in front of him. Four guards stood to the side and then at the enterance of the office stood Stella with a revolver in her hand, Kate lay at her feet.

“Kate!” Jayson yelled as soon as he saw her unmoving and crumpled on the ground.

“Don’t move JJ” Stella said as she pointed the gun towards Kate’s head.

“She has passed out from shock. Do as I told you.” Jack whispered to him.

Jayson gulped and nodded.

What the hell happened to the little girl he saw play around with his sister? How did she end up obsessed with him to such an extent?

“Okay…” Jayson said as he held his hands up and watched as Stella pulled the gun back.

“JJ…You don’t love her right?”

“No I don’t”

“You love me right?”

“Yes.”

“She was just a time pass right till I was in Milan?” Stella asked

“Yes”

“Why did you propose to her?”

“I…” Jayson didn’t know what to say.

“WHY DID YOU PROPOSE TO HER!? YOU STILL PROPOSED DESPITE ME HURTING MYSELF SO MUCH AND STAGING THOSE STUPID ACCIDENTS” Stella screeched

“Fuck” Jayson thought.

“Look Stella…I made a mistake, I thought you were happy with someone else.”

“Really?” Stella smiled a crazy smile and blushed.

“She is seriously deranged” Jayson heard Jake mutter behind him.

“Yes, now come to me Stella, I want to hold you and promise you, I won’t let you go”

“Yes but first I am going to kill this bitch so she won’t come back into our lives.”

“No don’t do that Stella…you will end up in jail…we won’t be able to be together” Jayson winced. He could still see this girl running around with his sister in their backyard.

“Hmmm” Stella said with a thoughtful look.

“Yes…leave her Stella, she is no one important. Come to me” Jayson opened his arms.

Stella took a step towards him but then paused and looked at Kate.

“You sure? I can shoot her and she will be gone forever…”

“No Stella…Come to me now please.”

“Oh JJ. I knew you would come back to me in the end. We are meant to be” Stella said as she ran towards Jayson. She came and threw her arms around him.

“Give me this first” Jayson said as he tried to pry the gun from her hand.

Stella tightened her grip.

“Let go sweetheart. I am here now. You don’t need this.” Jayson said

Stella dropped it between them but kept her foot on it and placed her hand on either side of Jayson’s face.

Jayson tried not to flinch at the contact. She then smashed her lips against his.

Jayson reached for his jacket pocket and with one swift movement, injected the concentrated dose of sedative in her arm on her deltoid muscle bulk.

“OW !!!” Stella screamed but within a second crumpled to the floor.

Jayson dropped the needle and jumped over her body and ran towards Kate.

Three Days Later.

“We will be going back home today” Jayson smiled as he sat down next to Kate’s bed. Kate took the glass of water from Jayson.

It had been three days since that crazy incident at the museum. Police had taken Stella in custody. The revolver belonged to her father. She was undergoing psychiatric evaluation.

Jayson still couldn’t believe her behavior that how she could become obsessed with him to such extent. He always took her as his little sister. He guessed it was because he never looked at her in that sense that he failed to notice the slight changes in her behavior over the time.

Kate was rushed to the hospital and the doctors had given an all clear. She had very mild concussion but due to her previous health condition they wanted to run some tests. The result had come in this morning and the doctor had given them an all clear for discharge.

Jayson had filled in Kate of that day’s event and just like him she had a hard time believing it despite her being smack in the middle of it and a bump on her head as proof.

There was a knock on the door and Jay’s parents came in.

“Kate you feeling better?” Marcus asked as he led Rabia in. Kate smiled and nodded.

Rabia sat on the other side of the bed and grabbed Kate’s hand.

“Doctor gave us the go ahead for the discharge.” Jayson informed his dad. Marcus had been all over this case from the past three days while Jayson was at Kate’s bedside.

“Yes, I just met the doctor outside.”

“What is the news on Stella?” Jayson asked.

“The court gave her a minimum of one year in a psychiatric facility. She is being transferred to one just outside Rochester as we speak. The court said a minimum of one but the doctor who evaluated her said she would need at least two years.”

“I just don’t understand how? We practically grew up as siblings” Jayson ran a hand through his hand.

“I would love to explain it to you but even I didn’t get half of what the doctor was trying to explain. Too much medical gibberish but he explained it in simple words that it was basically a childhood crush turned into an adulthood obsession fuelled by other negative aspects of her life.”

Jayson nodded and turned to face Kate who had tears in her eyes.

“Hey don’t cry love. It is all behind us. She is getting treated now and is no longer part of our lives.”

“He is right Kate. Stella is gone and you shouldn’t think about this now. Let this just be a bad memory in the past. You have so many wonderful things to look forward to, an entire lifetime together” Rabia said as she squeezed Kate’s hand.

“Come on Rabia.” Marc said as he helped up Rabia. “We will see you later alright?” Marc said to Jay and Kate and they both left the room.

“This is crazy” Kate said once his parents left. Her own cousin had gone loco over her fiancée.

“Well we do have a lifetime together. Don’t you think it would be boring without a 'little crazy'?” Jayson said as Kate laughed.

Yup, that laugh right there, always made him fall in love all over again. He would do anything to hear it for a lifetime.

“Time to head home beautiful” Jayson said and Kate couldn’t have agreed more.
