Your story is very interesting. At least you repaid some of it.

You have more troubles than I can list here.

I strongly, STRONGLY suggest that you consult a criminal defense attorney immediately.

They can sue you, they can get a judgment against you, and they can attach your wages and levy against your house. Basically, they can do whatever they want. After all, you stole 45k from them--sounds like they are being pretty reasonable and you are dancing around paying them back.
