Cruel Destiny

Chapter 18

Natasha POV

Dinner was amazing with Scott and Sophia. She had made sure to feed a lot so that I wouldn't be

hungry.

Well, it's a good thing. Now I dont have to make dinner for me and I could rest for some time.

I hugged Sophia and said goodbye to her. She pressed a kiss on my head and told me to take care of

myself.

Scott dropped me at my home and kissed the back of my head to say bye and told me to take care of

myself and baby.

I smiled at him and went inside my apartment and locked the door.

I straight went to my room and removed the jacket that I was wearing.

Then I laid down on the bed and when I was about to call my eyes, my phone rang.

My face lit up when I saw Kelly's name. I hadn't talked to her in weeks.

She was busy as her exams were going on and she wanted to pass it with good exams.

Of course, I didn't disturb her. I picked up the call and said "Hello"

"Hello, Naty. How are you?" She asked me in a whisper

From her voice, I could say that she was sad and disturbed about something.

"What happened Kelly? Are you okay?" I asked her in concern

"I am fine. Have you seen the news?" She asked me hesitantly.

Now I understand what she was trying to say and why she is hesitant.

I took a deep breath and said "Yes kelly. I have seen the news. I know that Liam is getting married."

"Naty. I am sorry." She said with a heavy sigh.

"Don't be. It was my destiny." I said sadly

"How are you feeling Naty?" She asked me skeptically.

After a few seconds, I said "I am sad and heartbroken again. I mean he had told me that he would

marry me"

A sad chuckle left my lips then I continued "have you seen her kelly. She is so beautiful and classy. Not

to mention she is rich. She is his type of girl."

I leaned against the bed and said "I don't know how could I dream that he would marry someone like

me. I am really naive and stupid to even think about that."

"But I just wish he will stay happy with her." I sighed.

"I can totally understand you Naty that you still love him and that's ok. You don't need to be ashamed of

it. It's very difficult to forget your first love. It has been a year and still, I couldn't forget him." She

sniffled.

"Anyways leave it. Tell me what are you going to name my niece." She tried to ask me with a fake

excited voice.

"I am thinking about Scarlett. What do you think?" I asked her

"Wow. That's what I wanted to name to my daug-" she stopped in mid-sentence.

I closed my eyes and now I could understand it from her POV.

"I am sorry," I said while biting my lips.

"No. You don't have to be sorry. You know I was 5 months pregnant when I lost her. They wanted to

dispose of her dead body but I had told them that I wanted to see her." She cried

"She was so small Natasha. So small. She wasn't developed fully at that time. But still, she was so

beautiful."

She was sobbing and my tears were falling too. It's like I could feel her pain and her emotion.

I wanted to be there for her so that I could comfort her. She is alone there and had no one with her.

We talked for a few minutes then after saying goodbye, I cut the phone.

Then I fell asleep for an hour and when I woke up, my head started to hurt like hell.

But still, I stood up and after washing my face get ready. I locked my house and started to walk toward

the club.

.

I wiped the counter clean and saw the time in the clock. It was 3 am in the morning.

My eyes were fighting sleep and all I wanted to do was sleep and forget everything about today.

I bid goodbye to Avery, a bartender, who was packing her stuff and walked out of the club.

The streets were empty and filled with darkness and fog and silence.

I zipped my jacket to my neck and caressed my stomach then I put my hands inside my jacket to keep

them warm.

And for the first time, I heard the footsteps from behind me. From its sound, I could say that I was from

2 or 3 people.

My heart started to beat wildly in my chest. Even I could hear the wild thumping of it.

'Oh god. Please keep us safe' I mumbled a prayer in my mind.

I turned to the opposite side of my direction as the alley was dark and empty.

I know that it would take extra time for me to reach my house but at least I would be safe.

Now I can at least ten people on the road. I sighed in relief. I turned to look back casually and saw that

indeed my doubt was correct.

It was three people who were following me and when our eyes met, I changed my direction.

I didn't let them show that I knew that they were following me. Now I have to be more careful.

I reached my house after making sure that they were still not following me

I locked my house quickly and checked it twice to make sure that I was safe.

Today was really a hectic day for me. I hope tomorrow will be good for me.

.

.

.

I wiped the sweat from my forehead and sat on the chair. Even in the month of November, I am

sweating.

It must be because of the incident that happened last week. A week passed since I had noticed that

someone was following me.

The next day there was no one. In fact, I haven't seen them for one week and I couldn't be happy more.

I heard whispering and giggling sounds from the girl who was looking outside at the table with dreamy

eyes.

I was curious but I didn't have any energy to ask them about the reason for their giggling.

They are good girls and not like those who love to flirt with the rich ones and seduce them.

Mr. Cameron came toward me and said "Sweetheart a couple came to our restaurant for the first time

and I want you to take their orders."

I stood up with little difficulty and said "of course I will."

I picked up the notepad and went outside to take their orders but I stopped in midway.

I can't believe that he would do something like this. He really wanted to saw me heartbroken.

It was none other than Liam and his fiancee Linda. They both were talking about something and it was

she who was talking.

He was just sitting and listening to her. He had a bored expression on his face but he was covering it

with a fake smile.

The smile which he had always given me and now he was doing this to her.

Well if he wanted to see my heart broken then I won't let him see my weak side again.

I put a professional smile on my face and walked toward them. They must have heard my footsteps

because they looked up toward me.

His expression was cold and I just couldn't put my finger on it. It was something between irritation and

anger.

"Hello, sir, and ma'am. I am Natasha your waitress for today. What would like to order?" I asked them

with a professional smile.
