When She Rose From the Ashes (Natalie and Jensen) novel Chapter 609

**TITLE: HereSelf 609**

**Chapter 609: The Truth Revealed**

As the weight of his thoughts pressed upon him, Jensen let out a low, guttural growl, a sound that echoed the turmoil within him.

“Natalie, there’s absolutely no reason to leave with him!” he shouted, his voice laced with desperation. “You drank my amnesia drug, and soon enough, you’ll forget all about Baron! You won’t even have a clue who you are! Even if I can’t have you, I swear Baron won’t get to keep you either!”

“What did you just say?” Natalie’s voice quivered with disbelief, her eyes wide as she processed his words.

Baron, fury igniting within him, spun around, his desire to eliminate Jensen burning like a wildfire. He could feel his heart racing, the adrenaline coursing through his veins.

Jensen erupted into a fit of hysterical laughter, yet tears streamed down his face, betraying the chaos of his emotions. Regret washed over him like a cold wave—he never wanted to see Natalie hurt, not in any way. But in this twisted reality, there was no such thing as a remedy for regret.

Natalie grasped Baron’s arm, which was taut with anger, and whispered urgently, “He did force me to drink a drug. I don’t want to forget you, Baron. If Jensen was merely a fleeting moment of youthful confusion, then you, I hope, will be my companion for the rest of my life.” Her sincerity hung in the air, a fragile promise that made Baron’s heart ache.

Baron had yearned to hear those very words for what felt like an eternity. Yet, hearing them now, in this chaotic moment, shattered his heart into a million pieces.

“Don’t worry, sweetheart,” he murmured, his voice steady despite the turmoil inside. “We will grow old together. Even if you forget me, I will find a way to make you remember.”

Without a moment’s hesitation, Baron scooped Natalie into his arms and bolted out of the basement, urgency propelling him forward.

Jensen’s threats rang hollow as he attempted to shout, but Shauna, fierce and protective, swiftly kicked him aside.

“Trash! Was it not enough that you almost burned the Madam alive last time? And now you try to assault her? Are you even a man?” Her voice dripped with contempt, her disdain for Jensen palpable.

“Don’t hit my son!” Loretta cried out, her voice shrill with panic as she witnessed Shauna’s aggression towards Jensen. She struggled against the guards who held her firmly in place, her desperation evident.

Shauna’s eyes narrowed, a cruel smile playing on her lips. “Since you care so much about your son, then you can join him in his punishment.” With a flick of her wrist, she commanded her people to unleash their fury on Loretta, the sound of violence echoing in the air.

Baron rushed Natalie out of the basement and sped towards the hospital, his mind racing with worry. He couldn’t trust anyone else with her surgery; he had to take charge of her emergency treatment himself.

When Waylon and Ruby received the news, they hurried to the hospital, panic etched on their faces. Ruby’s complexion was ghostly pale, her heart pounding in her chest.

“How did she get injured?” Ruby gasped, her voice barely above a whisper, fear gripping her.
