Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 32

Natasha POV

I booked a cab and reached the bus station. It was silent. I was glad that I was wearing a hooded Jacket.

I covered my head and inspected the streets which were covered with snow.

I will never come back to this city that has ruined me. No matter what happens.

I have been only hurt and nothing more. I went toward the ticket counter where only one person was sitting.

I bought a bus ticket and waited for it to arrive. It was around 8 pm and the snow was falling furiously.

He told me that the bus would be delayed as there is an alert of a snowstorm.

I shuddered in the cold and told him that I'll be around.

I wandered further in the hope to find a safe place where I could keep myself warm.

The streets were deserted. No one was there. I haven't seen anyone in the bus station too.

I felt alone and scared as I couldn't find a single soul here.

They might be in their home enjoying the warmness of the house. And here I am standing alone in a snowstorm.

I took my phone out to call Kelly so that I won't feel alone. Fortunately, She picked it up within seconds.

"You okay, Naty" was the first thing she asked me.

"I am fine. I was alone so I thought to talk to you." I told her

I could hear her sighing in relief then she said "You just scared me."

I saw a garden which was only 10 minutes away from the station. I decided to wait there.

"Kelly, I have a family." I blurted out

"What?" I heard her stunning voice.

"Mother Angela came and told me that a man was looking for me. He had told her that I am his sister. And also gave a letter to her."

"I read it and it was from my mother. She doesn't want to leave me, Kelly. Her parents forced her. She got pregnant but just like Liam that person also betrayed her."

I sniffled and continued "She loves me. Her family loves me too. Kelly her name is Andrea Thomas."

She confirmed my worst fear when she gasped and whispered "That's Adam's mother."

"You are Adam's sister." She stated

I just hope she won't hate me cuz the last thing I want to do was bear her anger for me.

But there was no bitterness in her voice. Instead, there was happiness in it.

"Oh Naty, you have a family who loves you. You should go to them, sweety. Trust me, Andrea loves you so much." She told me

"I have heard a lot about that mysterious child from Adam and his mother." She confessed in a soft voice.

"Go to them, Naty. I am so happy for you." She said

"But he betrayed you." I retorted

"I know babe. But my love for you is more than my anger for him." She chuckled sadly

I sighed and thought about her words. Maybe I should go back and give them a chance.

I should watch it with my eyes if they were lying to me about loving me.

I didn't want to accept them as my family just because they have done wrong with Kelly.

But if Kelly is happy for me then maybe I could go to them. I will have a family.

I and my Scarlett won't be alone anymore. I wiped my tears and said, "Kelly I will-"

Before I could complete the sentence, a shriek left my mouth when a car bumped into me, pushing me into the ground.

My body was crying in pain but the anguish in my abdomen was unbearable when I hit the ground.

I felt what seemed like a more painful cramp in my womb. The blood was oozing out of my forehead, tricking down on my face.

I clenched my teeth to control my pain. I heard footsteps coming toward my direction

There were more than 2 people and they seemed to be in a hurry.

Maybe they are coming back to me. Thank God because I think I'm going into labor.

But it's early as I am only 8 months pregnant and I am underweight too.

I snapped out of my frightened thoughts when I heard someone saying "Sir your work is done."

I held my breath when the mind paid attention to the meaning of the words.

It was not an accident. It was a full planned murder. They are going to kill me.

I didn't move any muscles in terror when someone shook me. They will kill me if I even stir.

"Mr knights, she is dead." I heard him talking to someone.

I bit my lips to control the agony which was spreading all over my body including my heart.

Liam told them to kill me. Why? I have told him that I am leaving then this town then why.

I thought that he would leave me alone as I had told him that I would leave.

I always knew that this day would come when I have to accept my death. I was ready but that was before Scarlett.

Scarlett, my baby. I hope nothing happens to her. But I knew that it was impossible.

Because I could feel something seeping out of my vagina. I didn't make any attempt to wipe my tears.

When I heard the noise of the engine, I froze. After 5 minutes of agony when I was sure that they left, I moved and turned on my back.

I put my hand on my stomach and sobbed loudly, anything to lessen the amount of pain I was feeling.

I touched my leggings and my worst fear came true, I was indeed bleeding.

I saw that my phone was near, with all my energy, I moved my hand a little and grabbed it.

I put it on speaker and heard the screaming of Kelly. She was shouting my name over and over.

"Kelly" somehow I let out her name.

"Natasha. What was that voice? Are you okay? Why does that bastard want to kill you?" She sobbed

"Call 911" I gritted my teeth to control the scream when I felt another contraction.

"On it," she said and started to call someone.

I was near the alley so I dragged myself toward it to save myself from those monsters.

What if they come back to kill me? I can't let them kill us. Oh God, please save my baby.

I rested my back on the wall and looked down to see that the color of the snow beneath me had changed.

The white snow has turned red. I couldn't control the howl which came out of my mouth.

I clutched the jacket which I was wearing with my hands while whimpering.

I put the phone on the ground and put my hands on my stomach.

"Scarlett are you okay?" I whimpered softly

"Naty. I am sorry the paramedics will take some time due to the snowstorm." She wept.

After hearing her, I could feel the energy draining out of my body leaving it cold and weak.

"My baby" I cried out.
