Cruel Destiny

Chapter 30

Natasha POV

"Naty"

Her word was laced in concern for me. The way she called my name had proved that she was indeed

worried for me.

"I am sorry" I whispered

"Oh God, Naty. Are you okay? You haven't called me in ages. I was so worried about you. Do you have

any idea how much I have wanted to come there and scold you?" She fired all her questions at me.

And in the end, she started to cry. My tears, which has never stopped since I met Liam, also started to

fall.

"I am so sorry Kelly. Please forgive me. I have never wanted you to get worried about me. You have

your life that's why I have not been disturbing you." I apologized to her.

I could hear her sigh from the other end. She sniffled "It's okay. Tell me how you are."

I took a deep breath and blurted out "Kelly, I am not fine. I was raped last month."

"Naty" she whispered in surprise.

"I was coming back from the club. But someone grabbed me from behind. I was pleading to him but he

didn't stop Kelly. He never did no matter how many times I had pleaded."

"It was not the worst part. Wanna know who was behind it. Liam. He is the one who had ordered that

man to rape me."

"What? Why would that bastard do that? I will kill him." She roared in anger

A sad smile curled on my lips despite the tears which have been falling.

"He punished me because I had complained about him to the authorities. He had been coming into my

apartment without my permission and always threatening me. "

"He had ordered me to stay away from Scott or else he would kill him. And if I ever told this to anyone

then he would kill me and Scarlett."

I was now sobbing quietly. I was not in the confinement of my apartment anymore.

"Why didn't you tell me, Naty? I would have helped. It's my fault that I didn't check on you. I am really a

bad friend. I am sorry." She cried.

I shook my head as if she could see me and said "Don't blame yourself. It's not your fault."

Then I continued "Kelly he told Mr. Cameron to kick me out of that job or else he would take their

restaurant from them."

"Not only this he had told everyone to not give me any job. I have been jobless since that time."

"Kelly today he bought the apartment where I was staying. They kicked me out of there."

I put my hand on my mouth to stifle my sobs. I am embarrassed because I have to ask for her help.

Everyone blames me that I have befriended her because of her money.

Even her parents think that. That's the reason I have never asked for her help till now.

Now I don't care about my dignity because the life of my child is my priority.

I would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to my Scarlett because of me.

And now I have no one here. I will not get any job here because of Liam.

So it's better to leave this city and start a fresh life with my daughter.

"Will you help me, Kelly? I have nowhere to go and I don't have any job right now. Can I come and stay

with you?" I asked her with shame.

I was feeling very ashamed to ask for somebody's help. I have never done that before

"I promise that I will pay your money as soon as I find a job and I will pay you the rent too. I..."

I was cut off by a very angry voice which was filled with betrayal and sadness.

"How could you do that Naty? How could you think that I won't help you? I had asked you to come and

stay with me before we even become friends."

I wanted to say something but she didn't let me. I wanted to apologize as I had hurt her.

"You are coming here as soon as possible. And don't even think about paying me something. You are

not a friend. You are my sister. I just can't believe that you are thinking that I would take any money

from you."

I was so glad to have her as my best friend. I wiped my tears suddenly feeling lightweight.

"I am sorry. I never wanted you to feel like that." I answered.

"It's okay hun. Wipe your tears you shouldn't cry anymore. I'll kill that bastard when I see him." She

chuckled sadly.

"Kelly, Linda is pregnant with his child. " I confessed the thing which was making me sad.

"What was my fault? I have only given him my unconditional love. I know I might not have satisfied him

that night but I have never thought that sex is the footing of a relationship."

"My child is going to be born without a father while her baby will have one. Was it my mistake that I was

born poor?" I questioned.

I have been trying to find all the answers but I have no answers.

"Naty, don't you dare blame yourself. You are not at fault. It's his mistake that he couldn't keep his dick

in his pants."

"What if Scarlet will have no father? I will become the best aunt and you will become the best and

strong mother she could ever have."

She then took a deep breath and said "do you want me to book a ticket for you?"

"No, don't do that. I'll take the bus. I am near the bus station anyway." I lied

I was far away from the bus station. I have taken enough help. I can cover the distance by walking.

"Naty" she started but I cut her off and said "Please. You can find a job for me instead."

"You are not going to work. You are staying with me. I'll cover it for you." She said

I bit my lips and said, "I don't want you to waste your parents money."

I shuddered when I remembered the last time I saw her parents. Her mom is dangerous and what she

did was a nightmare for me.

"It's not their money, don't worry. I have not been in their contact since last year. I am earning my own

money." She told me.

I nodded and said "Okay. I'll reach there by tomorrow morning. Bye, Kelly. I love you."

"I love you too babe. Take care and come soon." She nodded then I cut the call.

I wiped my face clean and my phone beeped. I opened the inbox and found a message from Mr.

Cameron.

He wanted me to come and collect some bonus which he is paying to all his staff including the ex one.

I smiled widely and mentally thanked God for this. Now I will have some money to eat and for a bus

ticket.

I started to walk toward the restaurant slowly. It was almost dusk.

I was feeling dizzy due to the starvation. But I have to wait for sometime after that I could eat

something.

It took me 1 hour to reach the restaurant as I had to sit in between my walk.

I opened the door and the aroma of the delicious food hit my nostril making my stomach grumble.

My face turned red in embarrassment but thank God no one had noticed it.

I walked inside and a new girl told me to go inside the cabin. I thanked her and went inside.

I knocked on the door and heard him saying 'come in'. I opened the door and saw him sitting on the

chair.

But my smile faltered when I saw his wife sitting beside him. I used to be happy whenever I saw her but

now it's changed.

I bit my lips and took some steps toward them. He gave me a kind smile and asked "How are you,

Natasha?"

I managed to put a smile on my face and said "I am good, sir"

"You are looking skinnier than before. Have you found a job?" He asked me in concern.

I sighed and said "No I haven't found any job. No one is ready to give me any job in this city."

He gave a surprised and sad look then asked "Then how are you managing?"

I shrugged "I had some savings but now I don't have so I am going to leave this city tonight."

I should have lied but I just couldn't. I have never lied to him because he is the closest person I had as

a father figure.

"Natasha I am -" I cut him off and said "Please don't say sorry. You have done enough for me. It was

not your mistake. It was destiny's fault."

"Have you had any food?" Mrs. Cameron, who was silent till now, asked me.

"I... I had" I lied to her.

I don't want anyone to know that I haven't eaten anything in 3 days.

She just went outside without saying anything for which I am glad.

Mr. Cameron just sighed and said "I am sorry Natasha. Because of me, you are suffering. I promised

you when I met you that I won't disappoint you."

"It's okay. It was in the past. Actually, I have to leave quickly." I told him quickly.

"Oh yeah. Here it is." He handed me an envelope.

I took it from his hand and lifted my head to say thank you.

I felt some happiness that I could have food with this money which will be left after paying for the bus

ticket.

"I should get going. I'll see you again, Sir, if I ever come here. Goodbye." I said and left the room.

I was about to leave the restaurant when I heard "Wait Natasha."

I looked back in shock when I saw that it was Mrs. Cameron who had called me.

I covered my surprised face with a smile and said "Yes Ma'am"

She has a plate in her hand which was covered with amazing food which made my stomach rumble.

"I am sorry," I said ashamed. NôvelDrama.Org: text © owner.

"No need to be. Come and eat this." She told me and placed the dish on the table.

I shook my head because I don't know how much I had money in that envelope.

And if I ate it then how will I be able to purchase the ticket. Reaching Kelly's place is necessary right

now.

"It's on the house." She said when she saw my hesitation.

I gnawed on my lips and finally surrendered when I thought about Scarlett.

She might be hungry and wanted some nutrition which I have not been giving her lately.

I sat at the table and swallowed my pride. Nothing is more important than my baby.

I took one bite of the food and almost moaned when my tastebuds savored the taste of the food.

I quickly ate it and extinguished my hunger. I ate it quickly and almost felt sad when the plates became

empty.

But got again happy when one full plate of food was set on my table.

I gave her a 'thank you' smile and ate the food but this time slowly savoring the taste of it.

When I finished it, I sighed in contentment and got up slowly while placing a hand on my belly.

I looked at Mrs. Cameron and said "Thank you, Ma'am, for the food. I should leave now. Goodbye."

She just nodded with no emotions and I walked out of the restaurant, leaving behind the place where I

had been working for 4 years.

I sighed walking toward my last destination before leaving this city. I just needed some unanswered

explanations.

It wasn't long before I was standing in front of my destination. I have got this address from Linda.

I was standing in front of his house.
