Natalie’s POV I heard the sound of Rafael’s keys turning in the door lock, and anticipation fluttered through me. I took a deep breath as he opened the mansion door, and a wave of applause and joyful laughter greeted him. The room was filled with friends and family, their faces glowing with happiness. But the one thing that captured his attention—the one sight that filled his heart and eyes with overwhelming joy—was me. I stood in the center of the room, holding Matt in my arms and wearing a stunning white dress—a wedding dress. Rafael’s eyes widened in shock and disbelief, and then tears of happiness welled up in them. His expression mirrored my own overwhelming emotions. I remembered the days when I had loved him secretly, the painful nights I had spent yearning for his touch, and the jealousy that had broken my heart back then. Then I thought about how much he had changed for me, how he had shed his sadistic tendencies and embraced a love that was tender and true. Our love had
Natalie’s POV The location led me to a rundown part of town, a place I never would have thought to visit under normal circumstances. The taxi stopped a few blocks away, and I paid the driver, telling him to wait. I couldn’t risk Debbie spotting the car. I walked the rest of the way, my senses on high alert. Every sound and every shadow made my heart race. Finally, I reached the address Debbie had sent. It was an old, abandoned warehouse, the kind of place that sent shivers down your spine just by looking at it. I wiped away a tear that ran down my cheek, took a deep breath, and stepped inside. The air was musty, and the only light came through the gaps in the boarded-up windows. My footsteps echoed eerily as I walked farther into the building. My heart pounded with anticipation. Finally, I would see my little boy. How had she managed to feed him? He wouldn’t take formula. “Natalie.” Debbie’s voice rang out from the darkness, sending a chill down my spine. She stepped out from the
Natalie’s POV As the door swung open, my breath caught in my throat. Standing on the doorstep was my family—the Rowsons. Maya, Daniel, Lucas, their mother and father, and even Granny. They all looked worried, their presence both comforting and overwhelming. As I stared at them, I was shocked. But it was the last person to step forward who shocked me the most. My real father. He stood there looking healthier and stronger than I remembered, with a softness in his eyes that I hadn’t seen the last time I visited him. For a moment, I couldn’t move or speak. It was as if time had stopped, and all I could do was stare at him. “Hey, guys. You came!” Rafael broke the silence, his voice filled with surprise. “Nat,” Maya said softly, stepping forward and wrapping her arms around me. “We’re here for you.” Everyone stepped inside and started hugging me, except one person—my father. He stood there, looking puzzled for a moment, then said softly, almost in a whisper, “Natalie.” His voice was th
Natalie’s POV The long night passed in a haze of dread and exhaustion. I couldn’t sleep. Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Matt’s face and heard his cries. The darkness outside the window mirrored the darkness inside me, a suffocating blanket that left me gasping for breath. I paced the room, my steps slow and heavy, my mind replaying the events of the day over and over again. Rafael had been gone for hours, desperately searching for any clue that might lead us to our son. The silence of the house was oppressive, broken only by the occasional creak of the floorboards or the distant hum of traffic outside. The waiting was unbearable, each minute stretching into an eternity. I could feel panic rising within me, threatening to consume me whole. I moved from room to room, my body restless and my mind tormented by the unknown. I went into Matt’s room and sat on his bed, clutching his favorite stuffed animal and inhaling the faint scent of him still lingering in the fabric. Memories of h
Natalie’s POV Six hours had passed, and there was still no news about Matt. My heart tightened with every minute that dragged by, constricting so painfully that I could barely breathe. The silence was suffocating, every second stretching into an eternity. I couldn’t imagine what Debbie might be doing to my little boy. Rafael had been updating me frequently with whatever scraps of information he could gather, but the constant fear continued to gnaw at me, an ever-present shadow that made me feel as though I could crumble at any moment. ”No news?” Tobi asked gently as she handed me a cup of coffee. Her voice was soft, but the concern in her eyes was palpable. I shook my head, unable to find words that could convey the depth of my fear. Nothing was clear. Debbie was careful—she had even managed to avoid the street cameras. The waiting was unbearable. My mind began to spiral, conjuring horrific images of my son screaming, each one playing in my head like an endless loop of terror. It
Rafael's POVI couldn't sleep well last night; my body was on alert knowing that Natalie was half-naked just a door away.I put my hands under my head while I was leaning on my back on the sofa, staring at the white ceiling. Memories of Natalie as a kid flashed through my mind, and I smiled. She had b
Rafael's POV My heart tightened and became full of guilt when I saw the misery and disappointment on Natalie's face, although she tried to hide them. I knew I was the one who created this situation and generated this ado. I knew that she felt the same I felt, and wanted the thing I wanted. I sensed
Natalie's POV I felt awkward as both men stared at me blankly. What did they expect me to say?Rafael broke the short silence, his gaze furious as he stared at Jack. With gritted teeth, he demanded, "Why did you tell her that I'm here?""I didn't. She thinks maybe you're cheating on her. I swore you'r
Natalie's POVI lazily tossed and turned in bed, eventually opening my eyes to check the time. Seeing a black bed sheet covering my body made me tense up and become fully awake—I had never chosen black for my room. I stared at the unfamiliar bedroom for a moment before realizing it was Rafael's apart
