Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 43

Third Person POV

After the death of Miranda, Scott was broken. He had isolated himself in his apartment and didn't go anywhere.

His heart was screaming in agony when he got to know that she was pregnant with his child.

He had lost all his happiness together. He could have saved them if he had decided to go with her.

Losing his wife along with his first child was eating him alive. As a result, he didn't continue his college that year.

On the other side, Liam was silent. He hadn't spoken a single word to anyone.

His parents along with his friends were worried for him. No one but Linda knew what kind of bitch Miranda was.

She had seen her with Scott more than twice. According to her, she was cheating on Liam with someone.

She had been trying to tell him about him but alas he never listened to her.

Had he heard her, he would not be that broken. But his coping method was different from Scott's.

He started to sleep around with every girl not caring about their feelings and what they had wanted from him.

He had to forget about her. He had done everything he could to forget about her and their child.

But he couldn't and he knew that he never would. At least he could try to take his mind off it.

A year had passed and now Scott again started his study as he wanted to keep himself busy.

A few years later he started to practice. He had got his bachelor's degree in both medicine and business.

He told his father about his degree in medicine and he didn't expect his father to be that proud of him.

He hugged his father and his father told him to go for his dream job until he was alive.

After that, it's his wish if he wanted to take over the company. His father told him 'Always listen to your heart.'

But again gloomy days came when his father died when he got 26. He was again heartbroken but not more than his mother.

God had taken her husband who had given her nothing but happiness. She too wanted to die with him but god didn't take her.

After his death, Scott decided that he doesn't want to live here. This place had snatched 3 precious things from him.

His wife, his child, and his father.

He told his decision about his mother and she too decided to move with him. Now there was nothing for her except her child.

And her child was moving too. They have already had a house in America so everything was scheduled.

Scott called his father's younger brother and told him to take over the company as he couldn't do that.

It was then his uncle advised him to take some time off and then tell him his decision.

Until then he would handle it. Scott just nodded and said 'When it calls me, I will come."

PRESENT

Kelly was watching him in confusion as he started to call many people. What was he talking about taking over?

"I want the plane ready within one hour. We are going back home. Call everyone and tell them to prepare everything." She heard him talking on the phone.

As soon as he cut the call, she asked "Scott, What is this?"

He looked into her red eyes which were filled with concern for Natasha just like him.

"I am taking Natasha back to my country. She isn't safe here. We have to think about her and Scarlett's safety" he explained softly

Kelly thought about it for a few and agreed as it was the only way they can save Natasha and her daughter.

"Ok. I am coming with you too." She mumbled

He just nodded and went inside to prepare her for the journey. It would take them 9 hours to reach there.

He went to check on Scarlett and surprisingly she was fine. He had a team of doctors for Scarlett on the plane as he could handle Natasha.

Telling his mother was a different thing. He called her and just told her to pack her bags as they were going back home.

His mother didn't ask him questions because she had noticed the urgency in his voice.

He knew that her mother would be hurt. They had met only 4 months ago but still, her mother always had considered her to be a part of the family.

She knew about his love for Natasha. It was she who pointed this out for him.

She just wanted both of them to be happy in their life even if not together.

Now they all were standing outside the private plane and waiting for his mother who was stuck in traffic.

Natasha had been shifted to a bed and drips were attached to her body. She still didn't get her consciousness back.

And it was quite okay as they had given her the anesthesia. Scarlett was lying beside her mother.

It had taken them almost three hours for Scarlett to be out of the incubator.

A team of doctors has been taking care of Scarlett. They had pumped out some milk to feed her with a bottle.

"Who are you?" Kelly blurted out

Everything was confusing for her. She had thought that he was just an ordinary doctor.

But now after watching all of these, she was overwhelmed. Her mind has not been grasping this.

He chuckled and shrugged "I am Scott."

She rolled her eyes and asked "And"

He raised his hand in peace and said "I am Scott Allen. Son of Steve Allen"

She gasped when she recognized the name of his father. She had met him one time in all her life.

"I know your father. My ex-boyfriend has invested in your company." She sighed

Adam had taken her for a vacation in London. That's where she had met Steve Allen.

"I am taking over that company now. Knights are powerful and to protect both Natasha and Scarlett, I have to be more powerful than them."

She could hear the anger, sadness, love, and possessiveness in his voice and then something clicked in her mind.

"You love her" She stated instead of asking.

He just gave her a small smile and said "I do. With all my heart. But she doesn't and I respect it."

Kelly just sighed and said "She has been alone since her childhood. No one was her friend except me. Liam had shown her his fake love and poor girl fell into his trap."

She took a breath and continued "You deserve her. She will come around, believe me. Just don't give up on her."

"I won't," he promised.

Before they both could say, his mother came. She was looking panicked when she saw Kelly with Scott.

Thinking that he might have chosen her instead of Natasha. It wasn't like she didn't like Kelly.

She adored Kelly as much as she did Natasha. But she had those mother instincts to protect the latter one.

She stood in front of them and blurted out "You both aren't getting married. Right?"

Kelly chuckled loudly and made a face "Sophie he is like my brother."

Her nose was scrunched in revulsion while thinking about it. And about marriage, she wasn't ready for one after Adam's betrayal

Sophie took a sigh of relief and a smile was back on her face "so what happened?"

"Mom I'll tell you everything but we have to leave," Scott said and they moved inside the plane.

They sat on their seat and waited for the plane to take off. When it was done, Scott got up and went toward where both mother and daughter were.

He stepped inside the room and was welcomed by the cries of his little goddess.

Her whole face was red and he saw that the nurse was struggling to feed her.

He took some steps toward them and said "Give her to me."

The nurse gave him Scarlett who was still crying. He patted her back and cuddled her to his chest.

Her whimpers were slowly but surely subsidized. She opened her eyes and looked at him with those big innocent blue eyes.

He was mesmerized when she hypnotized him with her deep blue orbs.

He touched her soft skin and she started to wriggle in his arms and cried again.

He rubbed circles on her back and said "Let me check your Mumma. Then I will feed you, goddess."

She just pouted and closed her eyes even though she wasn't sleepy. He chuckled and went toward Natasha.

He checked her and everything was fine. Now they just have to wait for her to wake up on her own.

He leaned down to kiss her forehead and said "Wake up soon, Tasha."

He went outside praying to god that she woke up soon and everything will be alright after that.

He took Scarlett outside where his mother and Kelly were talking. His goddess's whimpers altered them.

Her mother had a face full of emotions. Kelly had filled her quickly with all the necessary information.

Her eyes were glassy with teary when she saw the joy in Scott's eyes. He had wanted this for so long but god had snatched that opportunity from him years ago.

"Isn't she beautiful, Mom?" He asked his mother.

"She is so gorgeous," Sophie mumbled slowly as she was still staring at her.

"Now let me feed her. Then you can take her." He said and sat on the couch.

He cuddled her to his chest and put the bottle in her mouth. Instantly, she latched on it and sucked it slowly.

His focus was on her as she was lazily gulping it. He gave her his finger and she gripped it in her weak fist.

She was underweight just like her mother. It would take both of them some time to gain weight.

He would take care of them and nurture them as long as Natasha wanted.

He wanted to do it for the rest of his life. He would love Natasha always no matter what happens.

If she denied his love, he would stay with them as friends but he won't leave them alone again.

A flash snapped him out of his dreams. He turned his face to the side and saw a mobile in Kelly's hand.

He furrowed his eyebrows at her and she just shrugged and said "I wanna capture all beautiful moments and have to show it to Naty."

It took them almost 9 hours to reach London. The weather was cold and the sun was nowhere to be seen.

There were a lot of cars which had come to pick them up. Natasha has been taken directly to his home by Ambulance.

They all went by car and reached his house quickly. This place was bigger than the entire Knights enterprises.

The house was built in the 1890s and with time they had refurbished it, making it more intriguing.



"You are loaded dude," Kelly whistled at the sight of the house, making both of them laugh.

"Come on dear. Let me show you your room." Sophie said to Kelly

Kelly nodded and said "Please show me next to Naty's. I want to be close to her."

"Sure dear," Sophie said with a smile

Kelly turned to look at Scott who had Scarlett in his arms and said "Let me take her now."

Scott just sighed and gave his goddess to Kelly even though he wanted nothing more than to keep her.

He has been attached to her the instant Natasha came into his cabin that time for the check-up.

But he had to share her with everyone. He kissed her cheek and gave her to Kelly who almost cried in joy.

She had always been wanting to carry a child. She had thought that her child would be the one to fulfill her wish.

But alas, god had taken her baby before she could come into this world.

A prayer left her lips which came from her heart.

'God, please make her destiny different from her mother.'

.

The house was silent at midnight. The snow had started to fall making the environment colder than before.

But no one was sleeping. Scott was sitting on a chair in Natasha's room.

He wanted to be here when she wakes up so that if something went wrong, he would be there with her.

Kelly was yawning as she hadn't got any sleep in the past two days. She had Scarlett in her arms for feed.

'She is just like Naty' she thought in her mind then her face turned into anger 'But she got that bastard's eyes.'

The sweet girl blinked her eyes at her aunt then yawned and closed it, wanting to sleep.

She removed the bottle from her mouth and put it back on the table. She then kissed Scarlett's cheeks and inhaled her baby smell.

"Your Momma will meet you soon." She whispered in her ear.
