She didn't hide it from Hamilton. He waited, seething, until a paternity test was possible, then dragged her to get one the first chance he got.
The baby wasn't his.
He wanted to kill her all over again, but this time, she was afraid. Her life wasn't just her own anymore; it belonged to her child. She wanted to have this baby.
Hamilton demanded she get an abortion. She agreed to his face, but then went and deliberately provoked Maria.
Unable to stand the drama, Maria told Hamilton to divorce Natalie.
For Maria's sake, he actually agreed.
The moment the divorce papers were in her hand, she fled with Penelope.
“I can let you two go, on one condition: tell me who the man you slept with was!”
Hamilton’s angry voice pulled Natalie from her memories.
Though Hamilton had caught her in bed with another man, the man had covered his face and escaped before Hamilton could catch him.
He would never forgive the woman who had cheated on him, and he would certainly never forgive the man who had slept with his wife.
Natalie was silent for a moment. “I honestly don’t know who he was. I can’t even remember what he looked like.”
“You’re still protecting him, you bitch!”
“I told you, I was drunk at a bar that night. I just grabbed a random guy…”
“Natalie!”
“You can ask me a hundred times, and the answer will be the same.”
“Natalie, you’ve got some nerve! No one has ever played me for a fool like this. You’re the goddamn first!”
Natalie knew Hamilton was unhinged and capable of anything. She didn’t want to provoke him, but this was the only way she could ever be free of him.
Her answer sent him into a rage. He slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the car shot onto the elevated highway. The road was crowded, but he wrenched the steering wheel left and right, weaving through traffic like a madman.
Natalie was terrified. She clutched her daughter, trying to brace herself, but her head still slammed against the window.
“Hamilton, don’t—ah!”
