...Natalie could not tell how much she had stayed on the ceiling. She could still remember the commotion in the house, as her dad and brother denied knowing where she was.She almost exposed herself when they took them away. But her dad's last words, telling her that they would be safe as long as they did not find her, made her stop.She knew she could not act recklessly, she wanted them to be fine.She had cried, and the whole of her body was numb. She wanted to look for help, but she did not know who to turn to.Ivan had betrayed her, he had played with her feelings. She did not want to imagine that she was just so stupid not to have seen him through. And they had just broken up with Luca. There was no way she would ask him or his family for help.She took her phone that she had put on silent to see if she could find someone else to help her.However, she was shocked when she found almost a hundred missed calls from 'Carter'.Wait! Was he looking for her so that he could force her

Ivan stormed out of the room, his anger boiling within him like a cauldron of fire. He knew that he was evil, he was bad.But he had not expected that it would be Natalie blaming him like that. Maybe he had so many expectations from her? He had not thought that she would believe all those things.He stormed down the stairs, taking them two at a time. As he descended, his mood worsened when he saw June in the dining room, eating as though she owned the place.The thought of June and his grandmother forcing him to marry June irritated him a lot. Seeing her around made him mad. And they chose to send her here just when Natalie was around. He hoped that she was clever enough not to cause any trouble.June waved at him, a broad grin plastered across her face. "Hey, Ivan!" she called out. "You look like you could need a meal. Want to join me?"Ivan briefly looked past her and shook his head. "I am not in the mood to eat," he said, and walked off.June pursed her lips as she watched him. The

It was because it was her, okay?But he did not want to say that to her. He smiled and proceeded with his movements, playing with her breasts."Because I want to do it and there is no one else to do it with," he said. He could not confess to her, right? What if she turned him down?Natalie felt a bit offended, but what he did to her next made her forget about who she was.The man dipped his hand into her shirt and held onto her left nipple. He held it in between his fingers and teased it, while he kissed her lips.He could feel her moan against his lips, and that drove him crazier. With less effort, he pulled off her shirt, leaving her exposed breasts and hardened nipples to himself."Look here baby," he said as his mouth watered at the sight of her pink nipple. "They got all hard because of me."He took

"Carter!" June called in fear. "What did you just say?"Carter looked at her in shock for a second before he shrugged his shoulders. "I don't know," he said. "But maybe daddy is marrying Natie! She is going to be my mommy..."June swallowed hard and took a step towards the child, her face full of anger. "Listen to me Carter," she said, making the child tremble in fear. "Only I can become your mommy!"Carter pouted. "No! My daddy loves Natie! He loves hugging her. I want her to be my mommy..."June smiled sarcastically. "I see that you love her a lot! But let me tell you... If you do not want her to get hurt, tell your daddy not to marry her!"Carter seemed scared, and she looked up at Bella with teary eyes. "Will Natie get hurt if she is married to daddy?" Bella sighed. "I don't know Carter..." She began speaking. But Carter had already begun running upstairs. "I am going to ask daddy that!" He said in a sad voice.Bella hurriedly stopped him. "You cannot go now. Give them some alone

Ivan was working on his computer, a satisfied look on his face. He could not wait for evening so that he could go back home to Natalie. He was really in a good mood.His phone on the desk vibrated, and seeing that it was from Trevor, his assistant, he immediately picked up.He had sent him earlier to check into Natalie's family issues and how things were."How is it?" He asked calmly, waiting for Trevor to explain. But Trevor's voice alarmed him. "Boss, things are not well. The police are on their way to your house...""What?" Ivan asked as he stood up. "What for?""That girl. It is said that that Gello thing she has is illegal. No one is allowed to be in possession of an AI right now. I think someone leaked information. Her brother and father were arrested earlier today..."Ivan felt the blood in his body freeze. Of course, he knew that it was illegal to own an AI in the country. But did that mean that whatever they were hiding was an AI?He stood up and did not even bother to take h
