Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 20

Natasha POV

What was he doing here? Didn't he just leave a few hours ago with his fiance?

He was looking at us with his cold expression and fury was evident in his eyes.

His eyes turned red when he saw Scott's arm on my waist and I removed it slowly.

He was silent for a moment then he spoke "Natasha"

He took a few steps toward us and looked at Scott with narrowed eyes.

Scott looked at him with a raised eyebrow and said "Do we know you?"

Liam scoffed and said "No you don't but she does. Don't you, Natasha."

I looked toward Scott who was looking at me with a curious expression and I knew that he wanted me to explain to him.

I took a deep breath and said "No I don't know you personally. I just met you today when you came to the restaurant."

If he wanted me to ignore him then I will ignore him with all my power.

I don't want him to think that he could play with my heart whenever he wants.

He looked at me in pure shock. He would be thinking that I would introduce him as my baby's father.

"What?" He whispered yelled

He was about to take a few steps toward me but Scott stood in front of me and shielded me from his view.

"Back off dude. If she is telling you that she doesn't know you then leave her." He told Liam

He then grabbed my hand and took me toward his car. He opened the door for me and I sat inside it.

The whole time Liam's gaze was on me. He was clenching his fist and was promising me something.

'I'll teach you a lesson.'

And that promise of him scared me. It looks like no one has ever insulted him or refused to recognize him.

Scott drove the car and I looked at Liam for the last time and saw an evil and dark smile on his face.

He is going to do something bad. I don't know why I am having that feeling.

"Tasha are you alright?" Scott asked me.

I wiped the cold sweat from my forehead and said "I am fine."

He nodded his head but I could tell that he wasn't convinced by my reply.

He looked at his phone and said "Well the person has canceled his appointment so I am free for 2 hours."

He looked at me and said "How about we take a walk in the Park or something. It would be good for the baby."

I was about to say no but after watching his face I couldn't. He was looking so hopeful.

With a smile, I said "I would love to take a walk in the park"

He grinned and turned the car and parked in front of the park. It was the same park where I used to visit.

But due to my tight schedule, I just couldn't take a walk or sit on a bench and watched kids playing.

But after 3 months or so, I will not be alone. I will have my baby girl Scarlett with me.

She will not let me feel alone ever. I know that and as soon as I thought about her, I felt a kick on my stomach.

I smiled and caressed my belly while walking toward the gate of the park.

He looked at my hand on my stomach and said "She is kicking."

I nodded my head and said, "Yes she is overactive today and has been like this for a few days."

He licked his lips and looked at me nervously and asked "May I"

What with people and their fascination with touching pregnant ladies' belly is beyond me.

"Sure," I said with a nervous smile.

It is a very intimate gesture. But he is my doctor and he has seen many things in my body.

It was kind of embarrassing when he did the internal ultrasound when I was 5 months pregnant.

I clearly remembered the day. I was coming back from my work when I felt pain in my stomach.

I ignored it and went to the washroom. That's when I had noticed the blood in my panties.

I was so scared that I had lost Scarlett and I literally booked a cab and went to the clinic.

Thank God Scott was there. Then he did an internal ultrasound and we had found that there is a slight tear in the placenta.

I was trembling from the fear that somehow I had harmed my baby but he told me that it's not my fault.

He had just told me I have to be careful and avoid taking the stress and have to eat nutritional food.
