Natasha’s Pov“You are finally awake” Sidney saidI was currently in my room in our family’s house.“How are you feeling?” I turned and saw my mum“Mum” I said with teary eyes, it felt like forever since I had last seen her.“I’m here pumpkin, your dad and brother are outside” she said patting my head.“What was wrong?” I asked“You were drugged, they found traces of different drugs, though they were in small amount” Sidney said as my dad and brother with our family doctor walked in.“How are you feeling?” Mike, my elder brother asked.“Like jelly” I replied.“Well the drugs when administered separately do not cause harm to the human body, but when the drugs are combined they can cause serious damage” the doctor said.“The amount was very small just enough to knock you out, so you don’t need to worry” he added“Thank you Will” my dad said to the doctor.“Call me if anything happens” he said as he left.“How could Liam let this happen” my mum said“He said he had no idea when I asked h

Natasha’s PovThe annual party was today and I had no choice to attend as a representative for my family, since my parents and brother were overseas for business. Sidney had a prior meeting, so she would arrive later. My makeup was done and I put on a black silk gown that showed off my curves. My hair packed in a tight bun, diamonds on my ears and neck. As I stepped into the room, the air shifted, eyes followed me, whispering. I had been dubbed as the heartless fiancée who brought bad luck all thanks to Ashley. Liam's family was in charge of hosting the party this year. Liam walked up to me, putting on his million-dollar smile.He hugged me kissing my cheek like everything was alright.“I haven’t seen you in a while” he said being extra touchy.“Yeah, I’ve been busy” I said. My eyes roamed around searching for Noah, I spotted him with a group of people.“Let’s go somewhere quiet and discuss” he said dragging me to a quiet corner, away from the public.“What?” I asked“What about the

My phone buzzed, it was a text from Noah. I smiled.“Are you free? Let’s meet up,” the text said.“Okay” I replied back to him.I arrive at the café we were meeting up. Noah was already inside.“Hi Noah” I said as I hugged him“How have things been?” He asked“Fine” “I heard things aren’t going well,” he said gently “With Liam and the company” he addedI met his gaze “You could say that”He exhales. “He’s not handling it well, he has been blowing up my phone asking what was up with you, why you had changed”I almost laughed.“You warned me not to get involved with him” I said looking at him, I needed his help to take down Liam, if there was anyone who knew all of Liam’s secret, it was going to be Noah and I knew he was going to help me.His jaw tightened. “He is my best friend but I told you he is not someone who you can date”I sighed “I know and I should have listened to you” I said“So you guys are not getting married?” he asked“I don’t think so”“Why, what did he do?”I laughed

Natasha’s PovI arrived with Sidney. His family gathered inside. Liam stood when he saw us, relief crossed his face.“You came late” anger hidden behind his voice as he gave me a peck on my cheek.I smiled. “Sorry I was swarmed with work”He nodded at Sidney. His mother watched us from the table with displeasure. She hated Liam, as the mistress son, he had always been treated as the outcast. In her eyes he was an embarrassment, a stain to their family name.Her gaze softened when she looked at me. I smiled at her.“Welcome Natasha and Sidney” Ashley said smiling as she hugged us.I smiled, “It’s nice seeing you” I said“I’m sorry, I’ve been keeping her soon to be husband from you, work has been hectic” she said smiling like the devil she was. I smile before I turned and sat at the table. I was not going to give her the reaction she needed.Dinner began. The conversation was mostly about politics, business, firms good for investment. I answered when spoken to and kept my hands folded n

Consciousness returned, surrounded by bright lights, the distant hum of traffic. Natasha inhaled sharply, her hand moving to her stomach, she didn’t feel pain. Her eyes opened, white ceiling, pale curtains moving, the smell of jasmine, not antiseptic, not blood or river water.The memories came rushing in, the bedroom, the bed, Ashley and Liam tangled together, the chase, the impact, her baby, she was alive, which meant that the baby survived. She wondered why she was in this rom instead of a hospital. The room felt familiar like she had lived here before.The door opened, her sister walked in, she looked younger.“Is everything alright?” Sidney asked. “You look like you just saw a ghost”She looks around“Where am I?”“What do you mean where are you” Sidney said laughing. Natasha still looked around confused.“Are you okay?” Sidney asked touching her forehead. “You are burning up” she said getting up.“I was in a car crash…. the baby, Liam and Ashley on a bed……. how did I end up here

The room was quiet, only her quiet cries could be heard. The sound of his shoes against the marble floor as he got closer.“Stand” She stood by the window, hands curled around the edge of the curtain, her body covered with bruises.“I built you,” He said. “Everything you are, everything you own, it exists because I allow it” he said calmly.His hand caught her wrist careful not to leave a mark where people could see. “Look at me” he demanded. She looked up. His face was handsome in a way the public adored. A man who smiles for the camera but was a monster behind closed doors. They had been married for five years’ now, no children, three miscarriages as a result of the abuse she faced. “Do you know what happens to women who forget their place?” he asked. She didn’t answer.The slap came without warning. Her head snapped to the side, her vision blurry, she didn’t cry out, it only made things worse.“You should be grateful I still keep you” He sneered.He only kept her because she was
