Semua Bab Wrong Key to My Heart: Bab 1 - Bab 9

Natasha became visibly irritated. Her fingers tapped impatiently against the nightstand as she snapped, "Stop being sarcastic. My parents have been nagging me about getting married lately."Since there are already rumors that Connor and I are together, I decided to just let him help me out to placate them. What's the big deal? Must you make life harder for me at a time like this?"Sneering, I got out of bed and grabbed a pillow."Did you need him to help placate your parents? Couldn't you have just let your parents meet me instead? It's been seven years, and you're not even willing to tell them about me," I reminded her.My words completely infuriated Natasha. She grabbed my arm forcefully, her nails digging into my skin. "You want me to officially introduce you as my boyfriend? Who do you even think you are?"She exploded, coming up with all sorts of excuses to defend her actions and attacking me with all manner of accusations. Soon, she'd raised her voice so high that she was pr

"You're the investor?" Connor's face went pale, his voice shaky.Natasha stared at me as if she'd just seen a ghost. "Simon… all of the funding and production support… came from you?"Just as I was about to answer, an excruciating pain washed over me. My vision turned dark, and I blacked out.When I regained consciousness, the sharp smell of disinfectant hit me. I realized I was in a hospital."You're finally awake!" Natasha clutched my hand, her eyes red. "I'm sorry… I didn't know…"Her apology sounded so hollow to me.The beating and the humiliation had wiped out the love I'd felt for her throughout the last seven years."Let's break up," I said as I pulled my hand away."No!" Natasha panicked. "I know I was wrong. Give me a chance…"Ignoring her pleas, I got out of the hospital bed and approached the nurse's station. "I want to be discharged from the hospital."Natasha ran after me and grabbed the edge of my shirt. "You can't just leave like this. We've been together for s

"Just let me borrow it for a few days. I'll return it to you as soon as the showcase ends," Natasha had pleaded back then. "This showcase is really important to me."I hadn't even paused for a second before I lent the emerald pendant to her."Be careful," I reminded her. "That was the only thing my maternal grandpa left to me.""Don't worry. I'll cherish it as much as I cherish my own eyes," she swore confidently.The emerald pendant never did return to my hands.Later, I found out she had given it to Connor. Not long after that, he claimed the emerald pendant had fallen by accident during the showcase and shattered into pieces."It really was just an accident," he said innocently. "I didn't expect the display stand to be that wobbly."That night, Natasha came to me in tears and apologized."I'm sorry. I didn't mean for this to happen," she sobbed. "I shouldn't have lent it to Connor."Seeing how upset she was made my heart ache. I quickly assured her that it was fine."Don't

Connor dodged the glass, his eyes flashing with fury. But soon, he put on an appeasing expression and said, "Don't be mad, Natasha. I just don't want to see you like this…""I hate all of you!" Natasha jerked around for a bit before abruptly pulling out a small pair of scissors from her bag and pointing them at her wrist. "If you don't come back to me, Simon, I'll kill myself right in front of you!"Following a tense silence, I swiftly dashed forward and grabbed the scissors from her. "You need to calm down, Natasha!""Give it back!" she screamed. "You can't treat me like this, Simon!"Connor stood to the side, his expression constantly shifting. His eyes were full of jealousy and hatred when he looked at me, but there was an obsessive look in them when he gazed at Natasha."Leave with me, Natasha," he said softly. "Stop humiliating yourself.""I don't need your pity!" Natasha pushed him away. "Tell me the truth, Simon. Do you really not feel even the slightest hint of love for m
