Cruel Destiny novel 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.
