Cruel Destiny

Chapter 41: Alt. End. Chapter 29

The first half or part of the chapter is the same as the original one.

Natasha POV [7 and half months Pregnant]

Have you ever felt like God hates you so much that he wanted you to suffer?

I am feeling like this right now. It's like every door is closed for me and I have nowhere to go.

Last night after Liam's father's visit, I didn't know that the next morning would be torture for me.

I went to the restaurant as always but this time something felt wrong.

My stomach clenched in nervousness but still, I went inside and saw the owner and his wife arguing.

I stepped toward them and asked "What happened? Is everything alright?"

For the first time, I have seen hate and anger in Mr. Cameron's wife (Owner's wife).

I was taken aback when I saw it. She has always been good to me. So what happened now?

She just clenched her jaw and turned toward her husband and said "Do it otherwise we will be

homeless."

She then glared at me and said "You are fired."

My jaw was on the floor when I heard those from her mouth. She has just fired me but why?

"But why?" I asked her bewildered

"It's nothing, Natasha. You go inside. No one is firing you." Mr. Cameron said

"No" His wife shouted "You are not thinking clearly. Just fired her or I will leave you."

"Would you mind telling me what happened?" I asked them wearily

"Mr. Knights called and told us to fire you or else he would take over our restaurant." His wife sighed.

I was shocked because I didn't know that Liam would do something like that.

I thought that maybe he would leave me alone after that night if I fulfilled his wishes.

But no he still isn't leaving me. I looked at Mr. Cameron's face. He was looking tense and I caught the

glimpse of fear in it.

He had done a lot for me. He had sheltered me in his home when I was homeless and was on the

roads.

He is very old and this restaurant is the only source of his and his family's income.

Even though it's mine too but maybe I can find another job. I have to repay their gratitude.

"Ok. I'll leave. Tell Mr. Knights that I won't come here again." I whispered in a heavy voice

I turned my back and took a step toward the door when I heard Mr. Cameron's voice.

"You are not leaving Natasha. It's the only job you have."

I wiped the lone tear which fell from my eyes and turned back to face them.

I gave them a small smile and said "I know but I'll be alright. I don't want to be selfish here. You have

done a lot for me. It's time for me to pay you back."

"But how will you manage as you are pregnant?" He questioned me with concern.

I opened my mouth but I was cut off by his wife "the father of her child will take care of them."

I wanted to laugh as well as cry after hearing her words. Liam would take care of me and my baby?

He won't do shit. He just knows how to mess with someone's life.

I really don't know what happened to her. The reason behind her behavior is a mystery to me

She has changed a lot. She was not like this. She had been polite with me but that stopped when I got

pregnant.

Maybe she thinks that I had become a whore. Or worse. I just shrugged and said, "I'll take care of

myself."

I turned back and walked outside. I took a deep breath and shuddered when the cold breeze hit me.

I only had this job but not anymore. I sat on the bench in the park and stared at the children who were

enjoying the snow.

The snow has been falling since morning making the surroundings colder than before.

I have never thought that I would see this day. I looked above at the sky and sighed when a snowflake

fell on my red cheek.

Had it been some other time, I would probably be enjoying it as I love snowfall.

But now I can't. I am now jobless and I have to find a job quickly or it will be very bad.

I wish I could call Kelly and share with her my problems. But I just can't.

Why are you doing this with me, Liam? Why?

.

.

.

I have been trying to find a job in this city but no one is ready to take me.

As days were passing, my hope to find a job has been diminishing. I really need a job or I will be on the

streets.

After a day of wandering around the city for the job, I was exhausted. My legs were aching along with

my body.

I looked down and forwarded my swollen feet and saw that they were demanding some rest.

I laid down on the bed and a whimpered left my lips when it touched my throbbing back.

It was hurting. My belly is now prominent as I have been losing weight.

I should have gained it but due to the limited amount of money, I couldn't buy the right food for myself.

I have been eating once a day which I know is not good for my health but I am helpless here.

I turned on my side as tears started to fall from my eyes. Why does my destiny have to be cruel?

I didn't know when I fell asleep while crying. I was in a deep sleep but I still could hear the voice of

someone.

I woke up with a jerk when I heard the noise of something falling on the floor.

The sweat beads started to form on my forehead. Who might be here?

I pressed my trembling lips together. I was so scared. I got out of bed slowly without making any

noises.

I looked around the room to find something to save myself from the intruder.

A tear fell from my eyes when I saw nothing that could attack that intruder.

I wiped it and saw a pair of heels on the floor which I had never touched after my date with him.

It might not do something enormous to them but it's better to have something rather than nothing.

I put my hand on my belly and staggered toward them. I bent a little down to pick them up.

"Stop where you are?"

I froze when I heard the cold voice of someone. I had heard this voice somewhere.

I stood straight and looked at them. My blood froze in my veins when I gazed at the person who had

raped me.

Why did he come here? Will he rape me again? I don't think this time I could survive it.

"What are you doing here?" I asked him even though it sounded stupid.

There was a different man with him this time who was gazing at the door from time to time. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

The person, who had raped me, just smirked and looked at me from head to toe making me tremble in

fear.

I don't know what his intention was but it was not good that I could say the way he was gawking at me.

"You know I always had a thing for pregnant women. That's why Mr. Liam had chosen me." He laughed

His laugh was so scary. It had a lot of malice hidden behind it, making it more terrifying.

I took a step back when he stepped toward me. I looked behind it and saw that the other person was

still gazing at the main door.

He caressed my cheek and I flinched hard. I don't want him to touch me. I don't want to be touched by

anyone.

"Still so beautiful." He said

The lust was dripping from his words. Now I do not have any doubt about the intention with which he

came here.

"Don't touch me," I whispered and shoved his hand away.

I felt a strong contraction and I screamed in pain. My legs were giving up and I was about to fall but that

person pushed me to the bed.

He hovered over me and leaned toward my lips. I pushed him with all my strength and he fell.

I won't be raped this time. I won't let him touch me. It's my body and no one else.

"Alex, stop" the other person shouted with a loud voice as if he wanted to wake the whole world up and

for that I am grateful.

Maybe after his voice, someone can come to save me. That's what I was hoping for.

The person, Alex, who was molesting me, glared at his partner and whispered yelled "Don't shout"

"Mr. Knights told us not to touch her. Don't do that man" his partner again yelled.

"Would you stop fucking shouting? She is going to die anyway. Then why not taste that pussy last

time." Alex shrugged

My heart came into my mouth when I heard him talking about killing me. He would kill me.

I felt something trickling down my legs. Oh god. Am I going into labor?

It's so early as I was only 7 and a half months pregnant. I am so scared right now.

Tears started to fall from my eyes when he again loomed over me and started to pull on my shirt.

I screamed and felt a sting on my face. He slapped me again and grabbed my jaw in his big hands.

"Stop moving and take it like you did last time." He seethed

He pulled back a little and smirked "or you need a little motivation."

He pulled a knife out of his pocket and grinned "Just like last time."

I sobbed loudly and shouted "Help"

I didn't stop shouting until I felt a strong punch on my cheek making me scream in agony.

"Shut up bitch." He sneered and pulled my t-shirt over my head now I was bare as I wasn't wearing a

bra.

I wriggled again and he put the knife on the side of my stomach, just like he did last time.

"Now stop moving." He whispered yelled at me.

I stopped moving just like last time. I closed my eyes tightly when I felt his hands on my lower.

Just as he was about to pull it down, we all heard a soft but scared voice with a knock on the door.

"Naty where are you?"

Kelly is here. Oh god, my soul sister is here. But what if they would hurt her too.

"Shit, Alex we have to leave." The second person yelled.

"How did that person come here? Didn't I tell you to shut the door?" Alex asked that person.

The person just shrugged and said "I forgot"

He just glared at him and turned to me. He pulled back the knife and stabbed me on the side of my

stomach, making me howl in pain.

[Like in Annabelle movie :-(]

"Naty. Where are you?" I could hear Kelly scared voice and her hurried footsteps

He then put his hands on my neck and started to strangle me. I choked on my breath and moved my

hands.

The other person grabbed him and pulled him away from me and yelled "We have to leave."

Alex groaned and ran toward the window. The person looked at me in concern and whispered "You will

get help soon."

He too ran and I saw them with blurring eyes running from the window.

The last I heard before losing was consciousness was the sound of the opening of the door and Kelly's

scared voice.

"NATASHA"

Third Person POV

Kelly was pacing the store where she was working part-time. It's not like she had to work.

She just wanted to keep herself sane. She didn't make any friends here so to keep herself busy she

started to work here.

She has a lot of money which her grandparents had left for her. She doesn't want to use her parent's

money.

She hadn't talked to her mother in the past year since she came here.

Her mother had never liked Natasha. She didn't like what her mother had done with Natasha in the

past.

After that day, Natasha never came to her house and she too didn't force her.

"What happened Kelly? Why are you pacing the floor?" The store manager came and asked her

She stopped and looked at her with irritation. Why did she have to interfere with her thoughts?

She just faked a smile and replied "Nothing, Mrs.Smith. I wanted to ask for leave."

She just sighed and said "I can't do that Kelly. If you left today then never come back."

Kelly looked at her with narrow eyes and finally tired of her shitty attitude.

"Ok, then I am leaving this job."

With that, she ran out not hearing anything her former boss was saying.

Her priority is Natasha right now. She didn't attend her calls for almost 2 months.

And now she was worried. It had never happened to them. They both had always attended each

other's call.

She ran to her house and packed some clothes in a duffle bag. She picked up her car keys not

bothering to change her clothes.

After locking the door of her apartment, she hurried toward her car.

She was having a bad feeling since last night when she had a nightmare.

She had seen Natasha's blood in her hand and her friend was not waking up.

She has been calling her since morning but she got no answer.

Now she didn't even wait to book the flight as it would take time. So she decided to drive instead.

It took her at least 3 hours to reach the front of her apartment. She grabbed her bag and walked toward

her building.

She would stay with her for a few days and would make sure that she was alright.

Or she could drag Natasha with her to her house so that she could take care of her till Scarlett's birth.

Or she could convince Natasha to stay with her so that she won't have to worry about her safety.

She shook her hand and walked inside the building. She passed the receptionist who nodded at her.

She greeted her and went toward Natasha's apartment. She tried to ring the bell but it wasn't working.

She frowned and again tried but nothing happened. She knocked on the door and with a scary voice

asked

"Naty, where are you?"

She again knocked but Natasha didn't answer her. She was now scared and that turned into dread

when she heard the most painful sound.

It was Natasha's scream of pain.

She tried to open the door and saw that it was unlocked. She walked inside and grabbed the saucepan

from the kitchen.

Her heart was thundering in her chest. She rushed toward the bedroom and opened the door.

Her blood turned cold when she saw Natasha lying on the bed. Her upper body was bare and blood

was soaking the sheets.

She shouted her name and turned her face to the side when she heard the voice.

She saw two people rushing out of her window. She ran toward them and saw them running.

Rage boiled inside her and she threw the saucepan with a force and it hit Alex.

He screamed in pain and fell on his knees. The blood started to gush from his head which was split

open.

The person beside him, Elliot, ran leaving him alone. Now her friend could save that pregnant girl.

He didn't want to harm her and he tried his best to save her. He left her door open even after Alex

telling him to close it.

He made a noise by dropping a vase on the floor so that she could wake up.

He shouted while talking to Alex so that someone could hear it. This was the first time Mr. Knights had

sent him with someone to kill a person.

He had never killed anyone. He just sells drugs to feed his pregnant wife.

Kelly ran toward Natasha and saw that there was a big gash in the side of her belly.

The blood wasn't stopping. She grabbed Natasha's phone with shaky hands and dialed 911.

She told them the condition of Natasha and they said that they would be there in a few minutes.

She wiped her tears and picked up the blanket and pressed to her side to control the blood which was

oozing out of her wound.

She grabbed the t-shirt and made her wear it with difficulty. She mentally thanked god that she came

here within time.

She called Scott and he picked it up within minutes and said "Hello Natasha"

There was desperation and happiness in his voice which made her confused for a few seconds.

Then she shook her head and said "Scott, it's me, Kelly."

"Oh" he whispered, disappointed

"Scott someone broke into Natasha's house and he stabbed her belly with a knife." She sobbed.

Then she continued "I have called 911. It will be here within minutes. I am scared."

"Kelly, don't worry. Take her to the hospital. I'll be there. I won't let anything happen to both of them." He

assured her.

The paramedics came and took her to the hospital. They rushed her to the ICU with Kelly standing

outside the room.

Scott came to the hospital as they had called him for the emergency which he knew what was.

He saw Kelly standing outside the ICU with tears running down her cheeks.

She saw him coming and said "Scott, she is inside. I don't know what is happening."

She was overwhelmed with so many emotions. She was scared, angry, and sad for Natasha.

"Hey, it's okay. I'll handle it." He said, tried to be brave.

But from inside he was scared. He didn't know what would greet him after stepping inside.

He was dreading it but he knew that he had to save both Natasha and her baby.

When he entered inside, he saw her on the hospital bed lying there without any movement.

He shook his head and moved toward the bed where many doctors and nurses were working on her.

"Thank god you are here Dr. Scott. Someone attacked her with a knife on her stomach. And I have

checked, her water broke too." A fellow doctor told him.

"Some blood was flowing out of her vagina. The patient's relative had informed us that you were

handling her case." He continued

Scott just hummed and nodded his head. He didn't know what to say. He was numbed and his hands

were trembling.

The woman he loved was lying on the hospital bed. He couldn't lose her. He had already lost his child

and his wife before.

According to the tests, they have to perform Cesarean Section right now or they could lose both mother

and child.

A nurse went outside to inform Kelly about it and she agreed to it. Anything to save her best friend.

It took almost one hour to complete the surgery. They had delivered Scarlett easily.

Scott felt immense happiness when he heard her soft cry. It was barely there as she was a premature

baby.

He wanted to cry in joy when he saw her. She was the beautiful baby he had delivered.

Or maybe he was being partial as she was his love's baby. But she was so beautiful just like Natasha.

He stitched Natasha up carefully and after being done with her, he sent Scarlett with a nurse to NICU.

She would have to stay there for a few days as she was one month early.

He sighed and turned toward Natasha to deliver the placenta then the bleeding started.

"She is hemorrhaging." He announced.

It took a lot of time to control the bleeding and he had almost lost her. But now she was stable.

He sighed in relief and sat on the chair. He removed his gloves and after disinfecting his hands, he

covered his face with them.

Now it is over. He took a sigh of relief and went outside after making sure that Natasha was alright.

When he went outside, he saw Kelly talking with three men and she was looking angry and scared.

.

.

.

Kelly was waiting for any news regarding Natasha. Her legs were drumming on the floor in

nervousness.

She prayed to god to save her friend and her child. She had lost her baby but she doesn't want

Natasha to ever feel that loss.

She was lost in her thoughts when someone shook her. She looked up and saw that it was three men.

One's head was bleeding and he had a handkerchief pressed on it. And the other two were looking

here and there.

"We are looking for Natasha. Do you know her?" The one whose head was bleeding asked her.

"Who are you?" She asked him

Her gut feeling was telling her to be beware of them. They are dangerous people.

"Mr. Knights sent us to give her the money. We went to her house but didn't find her. They told us that

she was here. Do you know her?" He said with irritation.

She knew him. She had heard his voice before. Her mind went toward the incident that happened a few

hours ago.

She asked internally when she remembered that person who was standing before her.

She stood up and wanted to kill him right there but knew that she couldn't do that.

She was scared for Naty. What if they harmed her again? She took a deep breath and said "No I don't

know her."

Before the person could say anything, he noticed Scott who was standing with confusion on his face.

Kelly walked over to Scott with a smile and said "Oh honey. You are here. Come on we have to go. The

kids are waiting for us."

Scott was stunned when he heard her reply. What happened to her?

She just gestured to him with his eyes to play along. He did and said, "Oh sorry darling, I got late."

"Is she dead? Your patient. She was almost dead right." She asked and gestured with her eyes to say

'yes'.

He fake signed and said "Yeah. She is dead along with her baby. Poor girl."

The men who were standing there listened to this and left from there.

They believed that she died and they couldn't wait to get rewards from their boss.

Kelly watched them leaving then sighed in relief. She turned toward Scott and said, "I am sorry but I

had to do that."

Then she explained to him everything. Scott was fuming mad in rage. He just wanted to kill someone.

"What did Liam want from her?" Scott mumbled

"It's not Liam," Kelly stated, making him look at her in shock.

"No one calls Liam Mr knights. Mr. Knights is his father. And trust me he won't stop until he kills her."

She asserted with tears in her eyes.

There was a storm of emotions swirling inside him. He knew what he had to do to save Natasha.

He took his phone out of his pocket and called someone who could help him.

"What a pleasant surprise, Scott." The person answered from the other side.

"Uncle we are coming back to England and I am ready to take over."
