~ NATALIA~ “The fuck you did to her…” I heard a male voice but I couldn’t interpret whose voice it was, all I know, as I was struggling to breathe, I could hear my heart beating furiously in my eardrums, I could feel the cold sweats covering my body and something liquid was flowing out of my nose. I brought my shaking hand and touch my nose to see the blood. And it was the last thing that I remembered before it seems like gravity has left me. I saw my surroundings revolving in a swift blur and felt strong arms around me before I felt like I had died. It was all the darkness and some indistinct chatter that I was aware of. Someone was yelling that was obviously pleasing to my ears, it was like someone was arguing loud enough that it was forcing me to open my eyes but I couldn’t, my eyelids were too heavy to open them. I tried my hardest and eventually, my eyes fluttered open and the loud argument welcomed me to the daylight. My head was spinning and was splitting into pieces, I groan

~ NATALIA~ I was wrong for the thought that there might be something else Romeo want to tell me. He might be trying to give me a hint or something. But I was a fool to even think about it, indeed he was right I was a fool. I was being fooled by the fucking mate bond that never mattered to him. For him, I was just someone with whom he had a fling and then he dropped me. I gritted my teeth, I was angry, at him and on me, for still expecting something out of this stupid conversation. He definitely had tortured my dad till he died. He was the reason behind all the misery. I was miserable and I am miserable because I was still searching for a hope that we could be together, that he might be doing all this with a reason, but again I was wrong. There’s nothing but pure hate for me and lust toward my mother that he cannot deny and I have to swallow this harsh truth. “I was half doped up on fucking mate bond that we have, I wouldn’t say I fucked you with a sane mind, did I?"

CHAPTER 43 ~ ~ NATALIA~ Suddenly my body was feeling warm. Suddenly the coldness that I was feeling was gone. It was like I was floating in the air. It was like my body was weightless. All I could feel were warm ripples of water around my body, taking away all the pain and agony.“Ahh, this is it…” This is what I thought to myself. The darkness was comfortable as it was clawing its nails into my flesh. “Natalia…” The voice was muffled and I tried to follow the voice but all I could see was the darkness. I looked here and there, to find a source of that voice. I waited once again to be called. One, two, three, four… I counted my breath as I waite

~ ROMEO VELASQUEZ ~ A mistake. That’s what it should be. Every second from the moment she walked inside and I lost my fucking cool too when she detonated in my hold as if she’s waited her entire life for me to come along. But I didn't know if she was like this, I was forcing myself on her. I would have fucked her forcefully if Caspian didn't tear me away from her. When I looked down at her, she was watching me as if I was some kind of monster and Caspian was a god, who was fighting for her. Why wouldn't he! He was going to be her so-called fiance because her bitch mother decided to marry her off with that bastard. And it only calls for me to understand that bitch really does know something about me and Natalia. Maybe it's not all but she knows and that's why she planned the shit without caring that she would get on my nerves. And getting on my nerves is not for her to afford. Caspian picked her up and took her to his room. Did I mention HIS ROOM? The fucker took her to his room

~ NATALIA~ " Caspian." I start nervously turning my head to the side to look at him as he lay beside me smoking."Hm? He hummed without turning his attention.I get up straddling him, suddenly catching him off guard."Mhm." He grabbed my waist guiding me off of him. "I'm not fucking you, Natalia, if that's what this is, you have My brother for that.""I feel safe with you, that's it." I frown.He sighed getting off the bed and I realised I'd made it awkward."I'm gonna go."I quickly get up, almost stumbling over my feet."Why won't you stay...? I won't initiate anything again." I grabbed his hand pleading desperately. "Please?He looks at my hand holding his, before glancing up at me. "Alright." He pulls hishand away. "What do you wanna do?" Fuck."Uh, we can watch a movie or something?"I suggested.He got on my bed and I headed downstairs to get some snacks and a small smile on my face.I sat between his legs as we watched the After movie. It was quiet neither of us saying anythi
