    Natalie didn't want to believe what she just heard. "Did Esmeralda tell you that? She finally got to you right? " she didn't wait for him to answer before continuing. "where do you expect me to go? To my uncle? Or out on the streets, so your psycho of a fiancee can kill me again? You succeeded in turning my life upside down and now you want to leave me alone!?

He means nothing to me anyways! " She cried vehem
