Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 22

Natasha POV

My eyes opened as soon as I heard the alarm going on. I wanted to close my eyes and sleep again as I am hell tired.

My eyes were burning due to the lack of sleep. But I can't as I have to earn money for my baby.

I lazily got out of the bed and placed my hand on my bump. It was growing well which means my Scarlett is healthy.

I heard growling from my stomach and decided to make my dinner as I have to take off to the club.

I didn't have anything before I was so tired after coming back from the restaurant. So I went straight to bed and slept.

I rubbed my temples which were aching and headed to the kitchen. I made a simple sandwich for myself and had it quickly while standing.

After that, I changed into a hoodie and leggings. I wore a Jacket too as it was cold today.

After wearing my shoes, I moved toward the door and closed it. I made sure to check the lock twice.

I walked out of the building and started to walk. I put my hands in my pocket and covered my head with its hood.

A week passed but still, I didn't get any information from the cops. They didn't call me and I also didn't call back.

Maybe they are still working on it. But the good news was that Liam wasn't sneaking inside my house.

That's a really big relief for me. I think he got the signal that now he won't be able to break me.

Or maybe his fiance caught him or something. I don't care about it now.

I have to think about my child. I am not a free girl anymore. I am now a woman and will be a mother soon.

I have heard that a mother sacrifices everything for her child and I will do that too.

And I also had made a promise with myself that I would never associate with other men.

I had enough for a lifetime. Now my only aim is to be with my daughter and give her everything which I couldn't have.

I reached the place and went inside not knowing that this night will haunt me forever.

Hours passed and finally, it's time for me to leave. I was happy that I could go home and sleep for some time.

My eyes were dropping and I could tell that my eyes were bloodshot. I sniffled and walked outside of the club.

Two men were standing out of the door and were smoking and drinking while laughing loudly.

I clutched my Jacket together and hung my head low and stared at the floor.

I didn't want them to notice me. So I ignored it completely when I heard a catcall from them and pretended as nothing happened.

This was nothing new to me. It had happened to me all the time.

People are really shameless; they don't even care if they are hitting on a pregnant girl.

There was an uncomfortable silence on the road which was eating me alive.

The only sound which I could hear was the loud noise of wind which was blowing at a rapid pace.

I don't know why I am having a feeling that something is going to happen tonight.

Something which will change my life. I rubbed my chest to ease the anxiety which was building inside me.

I am going to leave this job next month. I have been thinking about it for a month.

I will find another job after delivery. But that's going to be a problem too as I will have my baby girl with me too.

I sighed and closed my eyes for a second then opened it.

I was about 15 minutes away from my house when something happened.

It was the same sound of footsteps that I had heard weeks ago. I saw that there was not a single soul present on this road.

My heart rate started to spike and I fastened my pace. I didn't dare to look behind me, afraid that I would become numb.

I could hear the footsteps loudly now which means they are very near me.

I could feel myself trembling from the fear. I was praying to god to save me and my child.

I don't want to die before giving birth to my child and I also don't want to die after that because I don't want my child to be alone like me.

But it looks like I was out of luck. Well, luck was never on my side then why would this time.

I was about to cross the alley when I felt a hand on my waist which pulled me toward a body.

I was about to scream but that person clamped his hand on my mouth to muffle my scream.

I squirmed in his hold and started to thrash in his arms when he pulled me into a dark and deserted alley.

I tried to push his hand away from me and scratched his arms. He groaned and banged my head on the wall.

My head started to spin and I saw stars. I couldn't scream as his palm was still covering my mouth.

I could feel something wet on my forehead which was trickling down on my cheek.

My tears started to roll down my cheeks when I saw that the person was not leaving me.

He turned me around so that he could push me on the road. I fell with a thud and covered my stomach quickly.

I winced in agony when I felt some pain in my midriff. I looked at the intruder.

There were two people. Both were looking young but were muscular.

There were lust and darkness in their eyes. They were filled with cruelty and malice.

I started to crawl away when I saw them coming toward me. But one of them was quick, he yanked me by my ankle.
