Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 19

Natasha POV

My heart was beating wildly in my chest and I just hope they both couldn't hear it.

Liam was staring at me without any emotions and suddenly his lips curled into an evil smile.

On the other hand, Miss Jones was gawking at me hard. She was looking very confused then her eyes went to my bump.

Her eyes lit up and she gave me a big smile and said "hello. I am Linda and this is my fiance Liam."

Her last words had hurt me but I still gave her a smile that had easily covered my pain.

"So what do you want to order, ma'am," I asked her with a smile.

"I have heard many good things about this restaurant. I would like to order today's special." She replied

I turned my face toward Liam and with a smile asked "What about you, Sir."

"I would order the same." He said

"I'll come back with your order. Till then do you want something to drink?" I asked them

"Just water please," Linda said with a smile.

"Sure, ma'am," I said and turned around and started walking.

"Liam she is pregnant." I heard Linda speaking to him.

"I can see that Linda. It is pretty much apparent to me." He replied to her in a bored tone.

"Do you think she will let me touch her baby bump. I haven't touched the baby bump ever." She asked him with an excited tone.

"I don't know. And why do you want to touch it? She is looking like a bitch to me." He said

I felt the stinging in my eyes and I could bet that he was telling her this because he wanted me to hear this.

"Nope. I don't think so. She is looking really sweet and she didn't stare at you like other people. She was attending you like any other customer." Linda explained to him.

"But she is pregnant and she ain't married. She must be a slut who doesn't know how to keep her legs close." He said venomously

I blinked my eyes quickly to remove the traitor tears which were about to flow.

"Don't say that Liam. Maybe it was her boyfriend's child. And even if she was single, still we don't have any right to comment anything about her character." She said with a sigh.

I was touched that someone had defended me ever in my life. I mean everyone just wanted to blame me about anything.

I went inside and told them to ready their order. After a few minutes, their order was ready so I took them out and served it to them.

"If you need anything, please call me," I said politely

I walked quickly as much as I could with my 6 months pregnant belly. I have to get away from his eyes.

I sat on the empty chair where I was sitting and took some deep breaths.

No matter how much I tell myself that his words are not hurting me but the result is the opposite.

I know if I tell someone then they will call me stupid and whatnot for not getting over him.

But they didn't know that no one had ever shown me that kind of affection and fake love before.

My heart just fell for him without my mind's permission. Oh god please give me the strength to bear this.

And I think I should start to ignore him again and behave like we didn't meet ever.

I saw that almost half an hour had passed which I had spent while thinking about my life.

I got up slowly and walked toward them and with a fake smile said "do you want anything else?"

"No sweety. It was delicious." She grinned.

"I am glad you liked it," I spoke with a smile.

Liam paid the bill and they both stood up. He put his hands on her waist and gave me a small smirk.

I ignored him and his actions. He then said "Come on Linda. We have to leave."

She removed his hand from her waist and said "Babe why don't you go and wait. I have to talk to Natasha about something."

He gave me a look which said 'Don't you dare say anything to her'. I ignored him again.

He left, then she turned to me, and with a smile said "please sit sweety."

With a nervous feeling, I sat down on the chair and she sat in front of me with a soft expression.

"I remember you. You have grown into a beautiful young woman." She blurted out.

I looked at her with confusion and wondered how she knew me and where she met me.

She must have noticed my confused expression and continued "it was 2 or 3 years ago. Remember some guys were misbehaving with you."

My eyes widened when I heard this from her mouth. I couldn't forget that night when I was about to get raped.
