He wouldn’t have left Natalie alone in his room and came down if it wasn’t Ana who came here.She was close to Nat so he was sure that she might know something about her past if not everything. Also she coming here now, when Natalie is in that condition which tells him that something horrible has happened to her confirmed his doubt that Ana knew something.“What is it that you wanted to tell me?” Cyrus asked hoping to get the answers to his questions.“I will tell you everything but first can you please let me know how is she doing? I mean.. is she beaten up… is she talking or has silenced herself?” Ana had so many more questions but she didn’t know how to ask them.Cyrus could see concern in her eyes. “She is not well.

Author’s POVCyrus was waiting outside the door with a heart beating anxiously. His one foot is tapping on the floor continuously. His eyes are staring at the closed doors where his wife was taken hours ago.“She will be fine son, don’t worry” he heard Curtis, his father say. He looked at his father and forced a small smile but no words can out of his mouth. So he just nodded his head in yes and once again looked at the closed door, with a heavy heart.He is worried for his wife and his unborn baby who will enter this world in some time.He doesn’t know whether it is going to be a boy or a girl.

Author’s POVSeven years later...Sun rays fell into the silent room stirring Cyrus from his sleep. Without knowing what he is doing, his hand moved beside him on the bed, searching for someone but when he felt the coldness on the bed and absence of his wife, he eyes fluttered open.He looked around himself but she was not in the room. He didn’t hear sound of water running, which told him that she is not in the bathroom as well.'maybe she is in the kitchen' he thought and sat up on the bed. He was about to get down from the bed when the door of the room opened and a big smile appeared on his handsome face.“Happy birthday to you”“Happy birthday to you”He heard the song with a smile on his face as his eyes were focused on the three people who walked inside the room. Natalie was holding a cake in her hands.“Happy birthday dear Dad, happy birthday to you” the song was completed with the sound of clapping.“Happy birthday Dad” his little princess wished and placed a soft kiss
Natalie I am standing behind the closed door, wearing this beautiful ivory wedding gown. This gown is reaching the floor and is designed very beautifully by one of the well known fashion designer in the country. My erratically beating heart is reminding me that it’s time. The door opened and I was greeted with a big round of applause by everyone present in this beautifully decorated hall. This place looks like a heaven on earth. A lot of money has been spent on this, I can tell. Everyone was standing on their feet to welcome me. Not many people are invited today as both the families wanted this event to be simple. Only few close friends and relatives of both families are present. I came out of my thoughts when I heard the voice of my father. “Let’s go Nat” he said while reaching his hand out for me to take. I looked down to stare at his hand and without saying a single word I put my hand in his. He started walking me down the aisle. Isn’t it the most beautiful moment in ever
NatalieOne week ago“Natalie, What are you doing here in kitchen? Why didn’t you get ready for the party?” Ana asked with concern in her eyes. She is the head maid of the Miller familyI frowned at her words as I replied, “I am not attending that party Ana. I wasn’t instructed to get ready. About being in kitchen, Amanda told me to prepare her favourite pasta for her”“That is why I am here in…” I couldn’t complete my sentence when I heard my name being screamed out from living room and my heart dropped in the pit of my stomach.The amount of anger and venom I can hear in the voice of Edwin who shouted my name from outside, is the proof that I am in trouble.I gulped down the lump in my throat. Ana squeezed my shoulder with a look of pity in her eyes and this is not something new for me.After inhaling a deep breath, I came out of kitchen. As soon as I was in the living room I heard Edwin asking in anger, “Why the f**k are you coming out of kitchen? Didn’t I tell you to get ready bef
Natalie“Do you want to dance with me?” The infamous playboy Cyrus Knight asked me and my eyes widened in shock.I instantly looked to my right where Amanda was standing earlier. And as I had expected she was shooting daggers in my direction with those eyes of hers.I shifted my gaze back to the man standing in front of me. His eyes stared me up and down with his ocean blue eyes, making me a little anxious.He held his hand out for me and asked, “Shall we?” I forced a small smile and replied, “I don’t know how to dance, I am sorry. Please excuse me” I turned him down politely and again made a move to walk pass by him.But he came in front of me to block my way. I looked up at his face to find him staring down at me with a small smirk on his lips. “Now that is the worst excuse ever, don’t you think? It’s just one dance beautiful” he said with a playful smile as he once again held his hand out for me. The way his gaze is fixed on me is making me want to run away from him. He is screa
