Cruel Destiny

Chapter 24

Natasha POV

It was dawn. But still, I was wide awake, lying on my side and watching outside the window.

I should be sleeping right now, but I am afraid. What if he again came with other men and let them rape

me.

I shuddered at that thought and sniffled. My nose was blocked due to constant crying.

I had soaked my pillow with my tears of grief and betrayal. But still, they aren't stopping.

I wanted someone to comfort me right now. I am feeling so alone.

I needed my mother to be here with me so that she could hide me in her arms.

If my father was here then he would have saved me. He might have killed Liam and that guy.

But that's a dream. I don't have anyone. I should have gotten used to it.

I winced when I felt a strong kick on my stomach and I touched my stomach and rubbed it.

This was the first time I had spent my night without sleeping. I could sleep anytime I want without any

problem.

I finally sat up when I couldn't fight sleep. If I slept then those nightmares would haunt me.

I got out of bed and walked toward the window. I sat on the window seat and stared outside.

It was very chilly so I grabbed my shawl and covered myself with it. I leaned my head toward the Ccontent © exclusive by Nô/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.

window.

And without my permission, tears again started to roll down my cheeks.

I covered my mouth with my palm to muffle the cries of my suffering.

Why did it happen to me? Had I done something wrong? Had I given a signal to Liam that it is okay for

him to do that with me?

I had never done anything with anyone. I haven't hurt anyone since my childhood.

I always had tried to be a good girl so that no one could question my character.

Then why did it happen with me? Maybe it was my mistake. I shouldn't have slept with him.

He must have thought that I am a slut who does that with everyone. It was my mistake.

I will stay away from every male from now on. I have to forget about this event somehow.

The last time when someone tried to force me, I had suffered from panic attacks.

And now that I'm pregnant, I couldn't take the risk. I have to listen to Liam because I know that he

would kill me and Scarlett.

I will stay away from everyone and will avoid Scott too.

With that thought, I dozed off.

I was cooking dinner when the doorbell rang. I froze for a few seconds and snapped out of it when I

heard another bell.

I wiped my hands from the cloth and straightened my clothes. I was wearing my PJs as I was at home.

My hair was tangled and was in a messy bun. There was no need for me to get ready now as I had left

that job.

I couldn't imagine going to that club and passed that alley where I was assaulted.

So a week ago, I called there and told them that I was resigning. Surprisingly, they accepted it without

any hesitation.

So now I am only working in that restaurant. It was okay for now as I had saved some money.

I would utilize the money I had saved for the college classes. I don't think I would be able to continue

my studies ever.

I snapped out of my thoughts when someone banged on the door instead of buzzing the bell.

I walked near the door and peeked through the peephole. I was indeed shocked when I saw that it was

Officer Seth.

I bit my lips and pondered about opening the door or not. I had to open it when I heard "Open the door,

Miss."

I took a deep breath and opened the door. I saw that it was only him and his partner was not there.

He arched his eyebrow and gestured to me to let him in. When I didn't let him, he said "I have to talk

about the case."

I sighed and stood at one side and let him enter the apartment.

I closed the door and saw that he had already taken a seat and his face had an excited expression.

I scrunched my eyebrow in dread and stepped slowly toward him. I sat on the opposite couch

nervously.

"What do you have to say?" I asked him straightforwardly.

He chuckled in amusement and I wondered what had I said that made him amused.

He muttered something under his breath which I couldn't catch.

With confusion, I asked, "What did you just say?"

He cleared his throat and said "Nothing. I just wanted to tell you that your allegations were wrong."

I gaped at him in shock and asked "What do you mean? I had given you all evidence."

He leaned forward and said "Miss, I had inquired about it and we have got to know that you had called

Mr. Liam Knights here. He didn't do anything wrong. You had falsely accused him to get more money

out of him."

"You are lying" I hissed while trying to be brave.

In reality, my hands were shivering and I was about to cry. But I won't give him this satisfaction.

He shook his head and further continued "I'm not lying Miss. I had talked to Mr. Knight and he had told

me that you were his whore. And when you get knocked up, you try to get more money out of him."

I licked my dry lips and blinked my eyes rapidly to avoid breaking in front of that corrupt cop.

He continued "Mr. Knights had filed a case against you but he knew that you are pregnant so he

doesn't want you to go to prison."

He stood up and stepped inside my personal space which made me uncomfortable.

He bent down in front of me and said "but according to the law you have to pay a fine as you had tried

to defame a famous person."

He moved his hand toward me and put his palm on my face and caressed my cheek.

"But you don't have to pay anything if you pleased me." He said with a hoarse voice.

I jerked his hand away from me and saw that his eyes were on looking at his crotch.

"Stay away," I shouted and pushed him away from me in disgust.

He laughed and said, "It shouldn't be difficult for you as you are a whore who could do anything for

money."

I grabbed my phone and yelled "I am dialing 911 if you didn't stop talking nonsense. Get out of my

house."

He looked like he wanted to kill me but then he may have decided to listen to my threat.

Because he took some steps back and walked toward the door not before saying

"I'll send the notice here. Pay it as soon as possible or you will be in prison."

With that, he left. I closed and locked the door as soon as he left. I slid down on the floor and shouted.

I clutched my hair and sobbed hard. I am tired of this. I am tired of him playing with my life.

Why won't he just leave me alone and let me live my life?

I am not a whore. I am not a whore that was what I was repeating in my head.

I knew that I was not a whore then why would he make me one in front of everyone?

.

I must have dozed off on the floor after my break down.

My neck was aching due to my uncomfortable position. I saw that I was lying on the floor in a fetus

position.

I frowned and rubbed my hands which were cold. I saw that it was still night time.

I sighed and tried to get up from the floor. It was a lot more difficult than I had thought.

I won't sit on the floor ever. Finally, I got up and went to the kitchen. It was a good thing that I had

turned off the flame.

I picked up my mobile and saw that it was 9 at night. I can't believe I had slept for 2 hours in that

awkward position.

I put the dish on the flame and again started to cook. It was done after 10 minutes.

I put it on a plate and ate it quickly. I washed it and was about to head toward my room when the

doorbell again rang.

I got scared when I thought that it could be Liam or that disgusting cop.

My hands were shivering when I sauntered toward the door.

Before I could peek through the peephole, I heard a voice that I didn't hear in one week or tried to avoid

it.

"Tasha, open the door. I won't go away from here."
