Lahat ng Kabanata ng Kindly Sign the Divorce Papers, Curt: Kabanata 551 - Kabanata 560

Gabriel believed he wielded control over Natalie using their child as leverage. He gestured toward the agreement on the coffee table, "Sign this, and I'll arrange for you to see your son." He aimed to secure his victory without pushing her too far.Natalie's gaze fixated on the document before her. It laid out stringent terms, binding her to a lifetime of celibacy and prohibiting any romantic or ambiguous relationships with other men. Should she violate this agreement, she would forfeit custody of her son, forever barred from seeing him.As she read, Natalie's fingers clenched the paper so tightly that her nails pierced through her skin, sending a wave of pain coursing through her. Memories flooded back, reminding her of the humiliations from her marriage to Gabriel and the terrible moment he imprisoned their son to harvest his bone marrow for another woman's child.How come Gabriel could have a daughter with another woman, yet she was denied her own freedom and love? Back then, she

After breakfast, Margot and Curtis left Lilac at the Crosby residence and went out together. Since Curtis's health was stable, they didn't need to visit the hospital that day. Instead, Margot treated Curtis to her pizzeria. However, on the way, they had to make a detour to Curtis' company to handle some urgent business, with plans to meet up with Margot later in the afternoon.Despite being busy at her pizzeria, Margot couldn't shake off thoughts about Natalie's predicament and decided to call her. Natalie answered with a weary voice, "Margot?""Natalie, have you managed to contact Gabriel? Is Benjamin alright?" she asked."I'm back in Amberville, currently discussing legal actions with my lawyer," Natalie replied."What? He won't return Benjamin to you? Where are you? I'll come to you."After getting the address of the law firm, Margot hurriedly left. Coincidentally, she bumped into Calvin. He approached her, hoping to mend fences. "Margot, are you busy? If not, can we talk?"He

Calvin was ecstatic when he heard Natalie call out his name in his arms. He knew that Natalie held him in her heart; she needed him. Embracing her even tighter, he assured, "I will, Natalie. Just give me one day. By tomorrow, I'll have your son back with us."Cupping her tear-stained face in his hands, Calvin gently added, "Don't worry, leave everything to me. I won't let him get away with it."Natalie couldn't help but feel somewhat incredulous about Calvin's confidence. She moved away from his embrace, her eyes brimming with tears as she looked at him.After all, Gabriel, much like Curtis, was a powerful figure in Amberville. Even though Calvin was impressive, he wasn't native to Amberville. Could he truly bring Benjamin back unscathed?"Do you trust me?" Calvin implored, holding Natalie's delicate face in his hands, gazing deeply into her eyes.Natalie finally relented when she saw the determination in Calvin's eyes. She didn't want to fight the battle with Gabriel on her own a

When confronted by Gabriel, Calvin smirked coldly, "Sorry, Mr. Sawyer. I'm here for Benjamin today. Just hand him over peacefully, and we can all walk away without any issues. "But if you insist on being stubborn, don't blame me for taking action." With those words, he signaled subtly with his eyes.His subordinates were determined to snatch Benjamin.Benjamin recognized Calvin.He had visited their home twice before to look for Natalie. He was her friend.If Benjamin went with him, he would definitely get to see Natalie.Thus, Benjamin struggled against the nanny holding him back, crying, "Save me, Uncle Calvin. I want my mom...""Benjamin, I am your dad." Gabriel was enraged when he saw Benjamin calling for help from an outsider.Gabriel moved faster than Calvin's subordinates, pulling Benjamin from the nanny's grasp and holding him tight.The subordinates backed off at this.Benjamin did not want Gabriel getting close to him. So, he bit down hard on Gabriel's arm that was

Natalie slept for a solid seven hours, the only time she had managed to do so in the past three days.It was strange, but Calvin's assurance that she would see Benjamin when she woke up actually worked, putting her to sleep.And surprisingly, she didn't have any dreams.But as soon as she woke up, her mind immediately went to Benjamin.Subconsciously, she sat up and called out, "Benjamin...""Mom, I'm here..." Benjamin, who had been waiting by her side, saw Natalie wake up and hurriedly rushed over.Natalie stared at Benjamin, who had suddenly appeared before her, completely stunned.She thought she was dreaming.So, she raised her hand and gave herself a light tap on the forehead, trying to snap out of it."Mom, why are you hitting yourself?" Benjamin hurriedly stopped her, concerned.Natalie gazed once more at the familiar face before her, lifting her hands to touch Benjamin's handsome face, finding it hard to believe her eyes."Benjamin, is that really you? You're back?"
