Chapter 2
When Natalie stepped out the door in the shirt, she noticed the wide–eyed stares of half the Howard family, their expressions ranging from shock to disdain as they watched her bare feet carry her out from within.
The weight of their gazes felt like knives piercing through her, the pain so acute she thought her heart might split in two.
Sadie was quick to react. She grabbed a blanket and wrapped it around Natalie, ushering her back into the safety of her room.
Natalie’s mind was a whirlwind of confusion as she sat in her bedroom, the muffled voices from next door barely registering. “Everyone has seen it, and you’ve got to be responsible for her, right?”
“Responsible?” Brian snorted with derision. “Fine, I’ll give her what she wants!”
By the afternoon, the Wright family had sent people over. And Natalie’s belongings were tossed out like trash at the Howard mansion’s gate.
Sending Natalie back to her biological father was the Howard family’s final statement on the matter.
It was pouring rain, but Natalie didn’t bother with an umbrella. She looked at Brian with the cold. and hard expression standing under the portico, staring back at her.
Her lips trembling, nearly blinded by the downpour, she made one last plea to him.
She didn’t blame him, but how could Brian be so heartless as to have pushed her away and made her leave? She didn’t want to return to the Wright family, and he knew that too well!
But Brian was unmoved by her pleas. He turned his back and disappeared behind the door, the ornate iron gate closing with a loud clang in front of Natalie.
The scandal of Natalie and Brian’s affair had spread like wildfire through Streamville in just a few days.
The word on the street was that Natalie’s mother had run off with a fortune from the Howard family and a lover, leaving Natalie behind. Natalie had stooped to unspeakable acts to secure. her position and cling to the Howard name.
A month later, Natalie was sent abroad with little fanfare, and the Howard and Wright families quietly let the matter rest with no response. Given the Howard family’s status in Streamville, the incident faded from conversation.
Three and a half years later, at the Wright family, a servant whispered to Samuel Wright, “The chauffeur has gone to the airport to pick up Miss Natalie.”
