Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 27

Natasha POV (7 months pregnant)

If I'd been thinking that my life before this was bad, now, it's horrible.

Sometimes I wanted to run away from my problems instead of facing them.

But sadly I can't do that. I have to face my problems like a big girl.

Two weeks ago, I got the notice from the court that I would have to compensate Liam for defaming him.

My hands started to shiver when I had looked at the amount. It was too much for me.

The amount they have been asking was three fourth of my savings. I had been saving it for Scarlett.

I didn't have any choice other than compensating for the punishment.

If I didn't have paid it, they would have locked me into prison and I don't want that.

Now I have only some savings left which are inadequate to survive and on top of that, I have been working only in a diner.

I have to somehow adjust with these savings and have to find a second job or else I will be on the road after the delivery.

Kelly had called me every day but like a coward, I have been avoiding her calls.

I don't want to impose my problems on her anymore. I am now going to be a mother.

It's high time for me to woman up and face my problems without creating any chaos.

To be honest, I don't want to worry kelly. She has been a constant support for me and I love her for that.

I just can't be selfish and snatch her happiness. I don't want to give her any tension.

I have been dealing with constant nightmares. They are horrible and kept me awake all night.

Scott didn't contact me after that day and I am grateful for that.

I don't want him to jeopardize his happiness for someone like me.

But yeah I have been getting calls from Sophia (Scott's mother). She was missing me and I missed her too.

She had given me the love of a mother which I had been craving. She had shown me that I could be loved too.

But too bad I can't see her again as I had told her that I am leaving this city.

She was upset and had told me to consider it again but I told her that I am going to live with Kelly.

Now they are my past and I have to focus on my present and my future.

"Ughh, just because I am pregnant that doesn't mean you would treat me like a glass. I can carry this bag."

I heard someone's voice in front of me. I raised my gaze toward the source of the voice.

It was a woman who was probably in her mid-20s. She was pregnant and has a cute belly.

She might be in her 4 months. A man was standing beside her and from what I could see, he was her husband or boyfriend.

The man chuckled "I know love. Now move on. You are standing for too long. It's your time to take rest."

The woman rolled her eyes and said whatever.

I looked at myself and thought that it must be nice to have someone beside you especially now as you are pregnant.

I shook my head to get rid of unwanted thoughts. They won't do any good for me.

I walked toward the checkout counter and paid for the groceries.

I had bought groceries which I wanted for two weeks so that I won't have to visit here again.

I took the bag, which was quite heavy for me, and walked out of the grocery store.

I got slammed by the chilly breeze of December as soon as I stepped out of the store.

I licked my lips to get them wet. I started to walk toward my apartment.

I winced when the string of the bag dug into my wrist. The bag was a lot heavy and it was getting difficult to carry it.

I have been getting these cramps since last week. But I didn't tell anyone about it.

I chuckled at those thoughts. It's not like I could tell these to anyone.

I didn't know any other doctor here and I couldn't tell them about it to Scott.

I was passing by a hospital when I stopped dead in my steps.

My nightmare was standing in front of me with another man looking at me with those evil eyes.

My hands started to shake wildly when he took some steps toward me and now he was standing in front of me.

My grip on the bags loosen and it dropped on the ground with a thud.

"I didn't tell anyone. Please don't kill me." Those words came out of my mouth before I could stop them.

He indeed looked shocked for a second. The person, who was with him, was observing me first but after hearing my words he got confused.

I was trembling thinking that he might have brought him here to get me raped again.

"Liam" the person shook Liam who was busy assessing my belly.

Liam shook his head and said, "Not now Adam."



[Thank you for suggesting him Ankita]

He was about to touch me but stopped when we all heard a loud and exciting voice calling my name.

"Natasha"

I looked toward the hospital and saw Linda coming out of it at a steady speed.

Something was different with her since the last time I saw her. She was glowing and seemed to gain some weight.
