Natalie looked at the child pitifully. “What is wrong, Carter? You have to be treated. This is serious,” she said.

Tears fell from her eyes when she imagined the kind of pain that the child was going through. He had really failed.

Carter still shook his head. “I want mommy to treat my wounds. I don't want to go to the hospital… please, mommy?“ He begged.

Seeing the child looked like he wanted to cry, Natalie sighed. She wiped away the tears in her eyes and held Carter's hand.

“I will try to disinfect them,” she said. “But if they don't get better, we shall have to go to the hospital, okay?“

Carter nodded obediently. He was scared of going to the hospital. So, he let Natalie wash him, clean his wounds and treat them.

Later, when they had calmed down from their crying, they had dinner. “Tomorrow, you won't go to school. You have to get well first,okay?“

“Okay, mommy,” Carter said immediately. He also wanted to stay home and accompany his mommy. And… what if he went to school and June ca

    After Carter went to sleep while hugging Natalie, Natalie opened her eyes and she looked at the child in her embrace. She could not help but shed tears again.She was not sure why she was getting that emotional! Carter was just Ivan's child, she was not supposed to have those kind of emotions towards him.But she just felt so bad when she saw just how much the kid had been hurt. How could any human being be that heartless?Carter was such a cute child! Why did June have to do all that for him? Her tears fell even more. She felt like her heart had just been pulled out.She caressed the injuries that she had treated and swallowed hard. “I wish I would always be there for you, Carter! I don't want to see you hurt anymore…”Suddenly, she felt her hair stand. And in her head, an image appeared. No! It was actually a scene.Her emotions changed all of a sudden and a surge of sadness filled her. There was a girl, who was obviously herself.She held her belly, which was hugely protudred as so

    Even as she prepared breakfast in the morning, the man's words kept ringing in her head. She did not understand why he was not mad at her. Wasn't he supposed to curse at her or something?They were not on any good terms from that day. And she had refused to go talk to him when he asked her to. Instead, she had escaped and come back to take the man's son, without his permission…Suddenly, she heard some noises outside which were accompanied by some knocking on the door.“This is the house! You have to arrest her for this!“ She heard someone speak, and she froze!She stopped what she was doing and peeped through the window. And she creased her brows when she saw police officers with a few other people.But she seemed to understand what was happening when she saw June in the front. She was the one pointing at her door.There came another knock on the door, and Natalie switched off the oven. She was not even done making breakfast.“Mommy! I am hungry!“ Carter ran towards Natalie. He had j

    Trevor came back to his senses and shook his head. He would think about that later on. “Boss, she was taken to the police station. I was not allowed in. I heard that a verdict has already been passed on her. Her case does not need any hearing.The old lady must have interfered. She has not even been taken to court but they are judging her…”“What verdict without going to court? It was just her being with the kid, right? Didn't Carter say anything?“ Ivan asked in shock. Who would pass a verdict on such a thing, without even listening to the person's side of the story?Trevor sighed. It seemed like the man did not know the severity of the situation. “Carter cried for so long, refusing to go back… but he was taken to the hospital. He had so many injuries to his body. They are all blamed on Natalie. I guess Natalie could not prove that she had not done that to the kid. She does not have any lawyers either. You know how these people are…“Ivan was stunned. “Injuries? What happened to him?“

    The man looked at her with some interest. He could not understand why President Dione would personally call to ask him to take good care of her until he came.She had hurt his child! She had kidnapped his kid! Wasn't he supposed to get rid of her immediately? Everyone knew that the man did not show interest in any woman. What about this one then?“What is the relationship between the child and you?“ The chief general asked. This case was a bit complicated. The old Lady Dione wanted this girl as far away as possible from her family. She wanted her to be jailed for life.Natalie pursed her lips. She was not sure how to answer the question. “Um… his dad and I used to be friends…” she said. That was the explanation, right?The chief general was a bit shocked. “Used to be? What about now?“ He asked. This girl seemed to be a bit different. He was sure any other person would have tried to make their relationship with Ivan so great even if they had just talked for a day.Natalie felt frustrat

    Ivan reached on time and held her hand, holding her back. And Natalie looked at him in shock. “What is wrong?“ “Carter is fine,” Ivan said seriously, looking at her face. “Tell me, what happened to him?“Natalie shivered. “He said that June did that to him. He had told me on the phone that he was being beaten, but you did not believe it when I told you…” she said and looked at him angrily. She felt like everything was his fault!If he had heard her and come to see Carter, she, Natalie, would not be here now. “I had to find my own means to come back. And he was hurt everywhere. His wounds were not even treated…” As she spoke up, she broke into tears and cried. Whenever the image of Carter's body appeared in her head, she felt so sad.Ivan held her and took her to take a seat. “Why didn't you take him to the hospital?“ He asked. “And why didn't you tell me about it yesterday?“Natalie fell silent, only tears continued falling from her eyes. How could she have told him about that over

    Ivan held her face once again. “It is time we both put our pride away. I wouldn't force you to marry me if you didn't want to. But we have no choice. You have to be his real mom for all these things to make sense…”He paused and used his thumb to wipe away her tears. “You can sign it if you want. The document is dated five years ago, before Carter was born. This is to show that we have been legally married since then…”He stopped and looked at her to see her reaction. “Natalie… I really hope that you understand this. You cannot leave the place without proving that you are his mom, and that you can't hurt him. Carter needs you… but if you still can't consider it, I will have to wash my hands. I would have tried my best to help…”He looked at her and swallowed hard. “I know it is hard for you, but this is not a permanent thing. It is just a paper contract. You can just sign this and undo everything once you get out…”Natalie was silent, only tears continued falling from her eyes. She lo

    But coming to her senses, she tried pushing him away. She did not want to be this close to him again. She did not want to be the one to suffer again.Ivan stared at her silently, a bit tense that she was not comfortable. A few days ago, they had reached a point where they were so comfortable with each other that she was used to being kissed by him.“What is wrong?“ He asked and held her hands, refusing to let go. He did not want her to be so distant from him.Natalie stopped struggling and looked back at him. She was silent for a while before shaking her head.Maybe she could just let the kiss go? She could treat it as payment for him helping her out. She froze more when she remembered that she had just signed the marriage certificates with him.Her face turned blank, but once again, she shook it. She knew that she did not have to speak about it right away. She had to wait until things had completely settled down.Ivan saw the changes of emotions on her face and sighed. He held her ch

But his first aim was Ivan, and that was the reason why he sent Natalie to kill him. His family, back in the country, were out for a night.

    The old lady chuckled. “I was so stupid! How could I not differentiate between someone with a good heart like you from those full of bad intentions? Instead of protecting him, I exposed all of us to danger. Please forgive me…”Natalie, who had never had any experience of an elderly person apologizing, did not know what she was supposed to say. She pursed her lips in fear.The old lady sighed. “I am not saying all this because you saved my life. I just think I was too blind in the past not to see the good in you. Please, take good care of my grandson, and my great grandchildren!“Natalie was just so shocked. She had not expected that things would be this easy after so much struggle. That meant that the old lady was blessing her marriage with Ivan, right?She lifted her eyes to look at Ivan, and seeing the broad smile on his face, Natalie relaxed. Everything was fine. They were finally going to be together without any difficulties.Ivan winked at her, and Natalie could not help but roll

    The doctor sighed with disappointment. “You don't know it? That thing that healed you!“ He was not sure if the girl was just pretending or she really knew nothing about it.Natalie shook her head. “Wait… I think I was wounded! What happened? What is that Gello you are talking about?“ She asked.The doctor sighed. “When you were brought here, we all thought you were going to die! You had wounds, you had lost a lot of blood and you were almost losing your child. But… that thing they gave you… it healed you in less than ten minutes…”Even though Natalie was pretending not to know anything about Gello, she was shocked to hear that she was healed like that. “Doctor, are you sure about what you are talking about?“ “Yes… it happened… He just wrapped it around your hand…” The doctor had begun speaking when the door was pulled open and two men walked in. Trevor went directly to the doctor and held his hand. “Doctor, would you mind us having a small talk?“ He asked while pulling him out, not

    Natalie froze up. She waited for the excruciating pain, then maybe, death. She had been so sure that June had shot her straight in the chest. She would be dead in just a few seconds.However, after a few seconds, nothing happened. She did not get any pain either. Confused, she opened her eyes.“Natalie…” Someone called her. All she could hear and see were the movements of people here and there.But her eyes caught one person who was running towards her direction. “Natalie… are you okay?“ Ivan asked as he pulled her into his arms.Due to the pressure he applied, Natalie winced in pain. Her body was covered in several wounds due to the torture that these people had inflicted on her. She saw June lying on the ground, her gun some distance away from her.“You are hurt! Quickly, call an ambulance!“ Ivan ordered as he tried to untie her. Trevor and a few other men were checking up on the old lady.“Ivan… you came…” Natalie said in shock. She had not expected him to be back that quickly. But

His mommy was finally there to save him.Natalie hurriedly untied him and pulled him into his hands. “You are fine now…”“Mommy…. Save great grandma. She is in the backyard. Auntie June has a gun…” Carter said the moment he remembered what had happened.Natalie shook. “It's okay,” she said and carried Carter to the room where she had locked Melan. “She will protect you,” Natalie whispered to Carter.She handed Carter to Melan. “Melan, don't open the door until I come back. Don't make any noise,” she said while trembling.“Sister… will you be safe?“ Melan asked in fear. Natalie hurriedly nodded and locked the door behind her, leaving.She ran upstairs to Ivan's room and took out her phone. Luckily, Ivan hurriedly picked him up when she called him.“Natalie…” Ivan called. “Did something happen? I am done here. I am taking the plane soon…”“Ivan… hurry up! Grandma is in danger!“ Natal

    When Black came back to the room, Natalie wanted to keep her distance from him. If this man could send his wife away without blinking, what was he not capable of?Black sighed seeing her action. “Daughter, I sent her away to make up for what we caused you to go through in the past,” he spoke up. “Please, forgive me…”Still, Natalie could not fully understand if the man had changed or he was just pretending. “Why did you bring me back?“ She asked at last. She wanted to end things as fast as possible. She wanted to go back to Ivan and Carter.Black took a seat beside her. “I heard about your break up with Ivan… that man has wronged you. I am your father. I had to come for you. I will help you carry out revenge if you want to…”Natalie pretended to be really heartbroken. “But… why are you two fighting?“ She asked. She was still mad that the man had pretended that the break up had nothing to do with him.Black was silent for a while. “ We were fighting in the past, not anymore. I won't li

    …Natalie's eyes widened when she woke up on an unfamiliar bed, her mind finally connecting the dots. The room she found herself in was lavish and spacious, a real contrast to the small, cramped space she had been forced to inhabit in the past in this house. The memories of the mistreatment she endured flooded her mind, making her feel annoyed and anger about those two people that called themselves parents.She moved, and her body ached. She could not help but wince in pain. She had expected to be taken away by Black, but the fact that they had sedated her before bringing her here spoke volumes about their intentions. It was as if they didn't even want to give her the chance to fight back or escape.Her thoughts were interrupted as the door was pushed open, and a woman around forty years old stepped inside the room. The woman's eyes widened in disbelief as they landed on Natalie, and she let out a horrified scream."Aaaah!" the woman shrieked, her hands flying to her mouth as if to st

    Natalie tried to sit up, her concern immediately shifting to the boy who had accidentally knocked her off her feet. "The boy who just knocked me off... Is he okay?" she asked, showing her compassionate nature even in her own moment of distress.Ivan scanned the crowd and locked eyes with the worried boy. He noticed the blood on the boy's hand and pursed his lips. "Someone check up on the boy," he instructed, and the people around quickly rushed to help him.Still feeling disoriented, Natalie held onto Ivan's hand. "Can you help me up?" she asked, her voice trembling slightly."Of course," Ivan replied hurriedly, carefully assisting her to her feet. He guided her away from the gathering crowd and led her towards the car, where they could have some privacy.As they distanced themselves from the scene, Ivan noticed Natalie's expression changing. Her eyes turned red, and sadness enveloped her face. He gently helped her into the car, his heart aching for her."Are you feeling hurt anywhere?

    Ivan woke up with Natalie in his hands, a broad smile appearing on his face as he looked at her sleeping face. He brought his hands to her face and gently caressed her, feeling the sense of peace that he had missed for days.Natalie's eyes fluttered when something kept moving on her face. Slowly, she opened her eyes and met a man's warm gaze. She snuggled closer to him, a smile on her face. "Good morning, beast," she greeted him jokingly.Ivan smiled and pinched her nose. "You look so happy today. Did that mean that I satisfied you well last night?" He joked back.Natalie buried her face into his chest to hide away her embarrassment. "Can't you just talk like a normal person?" She asked and pinched his waist playfully.Ivan hurriedly held her hand. "Stop messing around unless you want to awaken the beast again," he said, and kissed her lips lovingly.Natalie smiled, her cheeks flushed. She seemed to have thought of something and sat up. "Um...
