Cruel Destiny

Chapter 25

Natasha POV

I could hear the thundering of my heart. It was beating loudly and was making me anxious.

Why did Scott come here? He shouldn't have come here. What if Liam got to know about it?

"Please open the door, Tasha. I just want to talk." I could hear his sad voice behind the door.

I felt guilty for doing this. I never wanted to ignore him or make him feel sad.

I sighed and opened the door. As soon as I opened it, I was engulfed in a warm embrace.

I flinched from his touch but I think he didn't feel that. I wanted to push him away from me but I just

couldn't do that.

Surprisingly I felt safe in his embrace. Something I haven't felt ever. Not even with Liam.

"Tasha, are you okay? Is Scarlett okay? I was so worried. Why weren't you attending my calls?" He

fired all those questions at me

He pulled back and I just stayed silent and stared at him. Should I tell him or not?

I was confused and I didn't know what to do. He gently put his hands on my shoulder and shook me

gently.

"Tasha, why are you crying?" He asked me gently

He wiped my tears with his thumb which I didn't know was flowing.

"I. I am sorry" I sobbed

I am getting all hormonal due to pregnancy and I wanted to share my pain with someone.

I didn't call Kelly because she is busy with her studies and I don't want to distract her.

She had always supported me and in return, all I had given her was tension.

But now I don't want to do that. I should let her enjoy her life. I shouldn't disturb her anymore.

"Please stop crying, Tasha. You are scaring me. Come sit." He spoke gently

He led me toward the couch and made me sit then took a seat beside me.

"What happened to your face?" He gestured toward the bruise on my face which had almost faded.

When I didn't reply he questioned further "Did that man hurt you?"

I wiped my tears and raised my head to look at him and asked "Scott you had never asked me about

Scarlett's father?"

He licked his lips and opened his mouth to say something and then again closed it.

He then turned his head away from me and whispered "I never wanted you to feel uncomfortable

around me."

I chuckled sadly and said, "You are a nice guy."

He gazed at me with a smile and said "I am glad you think that."

"Scott, the person who was here that night is Scarlett's father," I confessed with a sigh.

He looked at me with a shocked look and then his face went blank. Now I couldn't tell what he was

thinking.

"I met him last year or most likely bumped into him. He was sweet at first and after that, we met almost

daily." I started with a bitter smile.

"After a few days, he asked me for a date and like a fool I was, I accepted. I said yes to him. After that,

he took me on a date for almost 6 months. He was the sweetest man and I fell for him."

My lips curled into a small smile when I thought about those days. They were the best day of my life.

"I mean how could I stop myself from falling for him. He was amazing. He had told me that he was an

orphan too and worked in Knights corporation."

I sighed when I thought about his lies and continued. All content is © N0velDrama.Org.

"He took me into a forest for a date where he gave me a promise ring and told me that he would marry

me in the future."

A sad chuckle left my lips when his words rang into my mind.

"There was a camp in the forest and he brought me there. He told me that he loved me and he wanted

to show it by making love with me."

Two big drops of tear fell from my eyes and I looked down to avoid looking at him.

"He had sex with me then we fell asleep. When I woke up, he was gone. Just like that leaving me in the

middle of nowhere. I didn't even know the location of that forest. I called him but he didn't pick up the

call. Somehow I walked more like limped to my home."

I sniffled and fiddled with the hem of my sweater. I don't have any courage to face him, so I kept my

face down.

"He never answered my calls and then I finally told everything to kelly. She told me that he must have

done all that to have sex with me."

"I was heartbroken. I couldn't believe that he did that with me. He played with me and my emotions."

I was sobbing now and I felt arms around me. He hugged me close to him and I put my head on his

chest.

After a few minutes, I finally stopped sobbing then I proceeded but didn't remove my head from his

chest.

"After 2 months, I found out that I was pregnant. I didn't have any clue and knowledge regarding this as

I have no one. But still, I never wanted to abort the baby. Kelly instructed me to talk about it to him."

"I went to his office and got to know that he was Liam Knights, CEO of Knights corporation. He had lied

to me. There he humiliated me in front of his entire staff by throwing a check on my face for the

payment of that night and told me that 'I didn't deserve more as I hadn't satisfied him enough.'"

He tightened his grip on me and I knew that he was angry. He might be thinking that I am a slut.

That thought saddened me but it's good for him. He should stay away from me as I am no good for

anyone.

"He called me a bastard child and said that my baby is also a bastard child. He called his child a

bastard. How could he do that Scott?"

I wondered this question many times and still, the answer is always a mystery for me.

"After that, he threatened me that I wouldn't like the consequences if I told anyone about this. I got

scared so I said yes."

I removed my head from his chest and looked at his face. His eyes were sad and he was looking.....

heartbroken.

"That was the first time I saw him in months. He was at the restaurant with his fiancee. He is now going

to be married but still, he isn't leaving me alone."

I put my hands on my hair and pulled it slightly. The next part is going to be quite difficult as I didn't tell

this to anyone.

I must be silent for some time, lost in my thoughts because he asked me "What happened next?"

I looked at him with painful eyes and whispered "Last week when I was raped."

His eyes widened and he was stunned. I knew he wanted me to continue but he didn't say anything.

"I was coming back when a man caught me and then he raped me. I pleaded and did everything in my

power to save me but I couldn't. And it was Liam who told that man to rape me. "

I finally confessed to him and told him about the incident. I am feeling lighter than before.

Now the heavy burden is off my shoulder and I could finally breathe.

"You never told me about this, Tasha." He asked in a sad whisper.

I turned toward him and saw the immense sadness in his eyes which matched mine.

"I am sorry Scott. I shouldn't tell you this. He had warned me to stay away from you. He threatened to

kill me and Scarlett and you also. I don't want anything to happen to you."

I sighed when I finally let it all out. He shook his head and said "I can save myself. You should complain

about it."

I shuddered when I remembered Officer Seth. I shook my head and said "No police"

He looked at me bewildered then I continued "he knew about the cop and that's why he gave me that

punishment. I don't want to complain about it anymore."

I mused about his warning then said "And that officer was unethical. He had said that all my allegations

were wrong and now I have to pay the fine for trying to defame him."

He cupped my cheeks and said "You don't have to worry, Tasha. I'll handle everything and the bastard

will pay. You aren't going to stay here anymore. You are staying with me and mom."

I shook my head and said "No I won't go anywhere. And I don't want you to meet me anymore."

I removed his hands from my face and stood up. I took some steps back, creating some distance

between us.

"Considered it as our last meeting. You should forget about me and it's not that difficult." I told him with

a serious voice.

He looked angry for some seconds and took some steps toward me and said "I can't stay away from

you, Tasha. Because I love you."

I gasped and gawked at him. I don't know how many minutes had passed but I found him leaning

toward me.

And in the next second, his soft lips were on mine, caressing it with love and affection.
