Chapter 16 - Desperate Moments

last update Last Updated: 2024-06-11 00:44:20

My legs sprinted despite the throbbing pain in my head, not to avoid Nick's cold lips. On the contrary, my mind could never break away from Mattheo.

I couldn't bear the thought of the two of us crossing paths in that room, Mattheo with his arms around Natalia rather than me. More than that, I just didn't want him to find me at my worst.

The soles of my bare feet kept running, turning, stumbling a few times over exhaustion, bumping into other patients, and getting smacked around, yet kept running like my life depended on it.

*sound of collision*

My watery eyes could no longer see the road clearly, causing my body to once again bump into someone in a hospital corridor. The person fell in my place.

“Ah, I'm sorry.” I hurriedly said an apology before the person shouted angrily at me. “I didn't mean to—i mean, sorry for running around in the hospital.”

“Young Lady?” The person replied to my request with a strange greeting. The voice was familiar, my head reflexively searched for those eyes

    Opening my car door with a force that didn't wait for me to give her permission anymore.“Here. Have a drink.” His fingers thrust, or should I say crammed into my mouth, a black pill with a pungent odor.It tastes bitter too. Before I could protest, Luke Davis had forced me back to swallow the bottle of mineral water that had accompanied him here.I swallowed the pill, in a fit of confusion. Just as my throat was getting used to the bitter taste, I realized the medicine Luke Davis had given me instantly eased the pain in my head.That quickly.“What poison did you give me?” I asked, somewhat annoyed, of the grim reaper who had just saved my life.“Your medicine is horrible,” I said again as a testimony to how effective the black pill he gave me was. During my 10 years of sick company, I even needed to get four injections in the neck if I wanted the pain in my head to go away.And with Luke Davis, he

    The taxi did a good job of evading Luke Davis' pursuit until we lost track of him.I can finally breathe a sigh of relief. Oh no, wait a second. After this, I still have other things I need to take care of. 'Right. How could I ignore it? Mattheo... my business with him is getting worse thanks to Luke Davis' help. Oh my goodness. Should I just run away from home?'The driver sitting in front of me stared through the rearview mirror with both eyebrows raised. The only passenger he had was laughing to himself with a loud laugh with no one to talk to.A second later, my expression turned grim. Then it turned back to laughing like a madman. The driver thought of me as a mental hospital patient, made worse by the hospital patient uniform still on my body.“Where are you going, Miss?” The driver spoke.His tone of voice sounded unpleasant. Either he was unsure of my sanity, or he was afraid that this hospital patient would run away without pay

    "My daughter. I was talking to you." Ragen cornered me again with his words.The clinking sound of cutlery at this large table suddenly stopped in unison. Mattheo and Natalia who were sitting next to me, seemed to be deliberately silent to wait for me to answer.“I...” my words stopped mid-tongue, as Ragen's sharp eyes stared at me behind his golden glasses."I don't know, ma'am. I haven't been paying enough attention to the company lately. In the future, I will be more conscious,” I said. I pushed back my chair to welcome my body to stand, forming an apologetic posture in front of the cold old woman."There's no need to apologize. Sit down,” she ordered with a wave of her hand. "Are you sick? You shouldn't be neglecting your company like that. You know your company is affiliated with us, right?"I nodded my head with increasing heaviness. “I will try harder in the future.”Ragen shook her head before rele

    And why was I so afraid? Why did every drop of his gaze that fell on my body, contemptuously, looking at me like a prostitute, make me feel like I was afraid of getting caught?Is it because Mattheo doesn't know anything about Luke Davis? Is it because I've been hiding the arranged marriage my mother made with Luke Davis?Or... Because I was afraid he'd dump me?“O-of course ....” I replied, but my voice seemed to be sucked away by the coldness on my husband's face this time.I swallowed, hoping to ease the fear a little. But all to no avail. My hands remained trembling beside my body, which could have fallen at any moment due to the weakness of his dominance.Finally, I decided to tilt my face. If I continued to stare at that face, I don't think I would be able to answer anything. Fear dominated me more than anything else.“O-of course this is your baby,” I said, firmly but still unable to ease the trembling in my vo

    This expulsion was no joke at all.Their trust in me was as thin as the distance between my room and the two bodyguards standing in front of the stairs. They were watching me, even though I still had until tomorrow night to be expelled.I looked at the large suitcase beside me that was still empty. I had to fill it up now if I didn't want to meet another unpleasant expulsion."What should I do..." I said weakly. I stroked my head, which suddenly hurt again. I'm sure the pain in my head right now isn't because of my illness, it's because my desire to stay here is being blocked.'Mattheo... I haven't answered his questions about Luke Davis. And he hasn't gotten any clarity on my illness either. But why is he silent? With her emotional nature, it would make more sense if she locked me up now, and forced me to explain everything.'My thoughts were chaotic and erratic. My head hurt, and so did my stomach. Not done with Mattheo, now I had to dea

    Accompanied only by a suitcase that wasn't even full, I left for the first time with a jealous heart. Heartache, and disappointment hurt, I poured it all out in silent cries in this cab.The sun was starting to recede from its performance. The white car that I was riding in, crashed through a rain shower that came from the middle of nowhere.Looking at it was like watching a miniature of my own life. Even this city was touched by my heartbreaking life story.This rain accompanied my silent cries, curled up in a chair, hoping that no one would know how broken I was.At least, I'm grateful that the apartment I managed to buy has a long commute. Otherwise, I would have swallowed my shame when I got out of the cab car, crying my eyes out.I rubbed my flat belly. I talked to my baby who was sleeping there."I'm sorry," I said, softly. "I'm sorry I couldn't keep your father. Your mother fought. From now on, we'll live alone, okay?"The driv

    "Get out of my way." I brushed him off. My distaste for his presence showed in the furrowing of my brow, which I didn't try to cover up."You're not listening. I didn't follow you all the way here," he says. His hand was now on the door to my apartment, once he knew I intended to move from his presence."Take a look yourself." Luke Davis handed me his cell phone, a thin black object that had been the center of the man's attention.I look at it with one eye, then stifle my mocking laughter. "What do you want to show me with this phone? About you installing a GPS app to track my location?"The pride in me told me not to accept his cell phone. The man fell silent, his cold face turning slightly annoyed without my knowledge.On the thin cell phone screen, a report of the qualification payment for the apartment purchase was displayed. Which was none other than my trace history."You bought this apartment using the Black Card my family gave you, r

    I sharply poked the man beside me, with my eyes. "What else are you up to, Luke Davis?""Don't accuse me. I have nothing to do with your mother," he replied casually.I hated the calmness that flowed through him. Because I know he's been planning more horrible things than this.On the other hand, Luke Davis is the only person who knows my entire condition. Which even Mattheo doesn't know. In his hands, he has tons of options to bring me to my knees.Or conversely, make my life hell.He was still in the car when I got out and entered the house. I wish I could have met Angel before him. I searched for her face amidst the line of maids lined up in the living room when she saw me coming into the house.I called out her name, and only a shake of the head was received from them. I wanted to make sure in the little time I was not here, whether the wounds on Angel's body had increased or not."Young Lady." My mother's secretary called out to

It's only a matter of time until he finds the location of this hospital and my nightmare will come true.'

    Natalia’s POVI never expected to get a surprise like this, Mattheo's coming to the hospital and seeing me alone had managed to make my heart beat.I never imagined that Mattheo would even give me another surprise that was even more shocking than the previous one, not only did it make me do heart exercises, but it almost made my heart fall out of place because I was so surprised to see Mattheo in front of my eyes when I was just a few steps away from getting into the car.It was even more shocking that he was waiting for me there, like he already knew what I was going to do after this. Mattheo, he couldn't possibly know that I was going to leave and escape through the back door of the hospital and he couldn't possibly know that I kept a car in the backyard of this hospital either, right?''So, what are you going to say again this time? What are you going to explain about everything that has happened this time, where are you going and what made you decide to escape from this hospital?'

    Natalia’s POV''Mattheo, can I talk to you outside? There's something I want to talk to you about,'' Robert said which made me turn my head, wondering to myself what Robert was going to talk to Mattheo about?Was he going to say something very important that I shouldn't know so Robert asked Mattheo to leave?Shit, why can't my brain think properly? Even if Robert asked Mattheo to talk outside together, I was sure that Robert wouldn't tell the truth. Yes, he is also the one who has always helped me, if what I hid from Mattheo was revealed, it would also drag his name and Robert would not do that, I'm sure.Never mind, I should just trust him for now. Trying to convince myself that Robert will definitely not do anything wrong, he must have thought about it and considered it carefully before doing something.''Talking together? What do you want to tell me, is there something important?''Robert without hesitation immediately nodded to confirm what Mattheo had questioned, confirming that

With my nerves getting the better of me, I tried to act casual despite the fact that my heart was almost out of place.I'm afraid that Mattheo knows the truth about me, I'm afraid that he knows what I'm hiding from him, and I'm also afraid that Mattheo knows what makes me here now.This stress that I'm feeling, I'm sure it has something to do with Mommy Ragen's request that told and forced me to follow her will, assist her to seize custody of both M

    Natalia’s POVI never thought that things would never go as smoothly as Mommy Ragen wanted, the process of taking custody of the child that she wanted was not as easy as imagined.'There was too much drama to be done, too many lies that needed to be prepared in order to get everything that Mommy Ragen wanted.'However, the fire of desire that has been burning so big inside her makes she completely unadvised in any way, she still imposes her will and insists on doing everything possible so that her goal can be achieved immediately.Even I could only stay silent and pensive staring in disbelief at her in front of there who was still talking to the Lawyer to discuss what they would do next so that the custody of Belle's two children could fall into the hands of her grandmother who was none other than Ragen.I did not expect that her ambition to control all the assets inherited to the two babies would make her desperate to do anything, even to the point of trying to seize the custody of B

Mommy would immediately suspect me if what she is planning to do is leaked to others, you want to help me right?''Robert immediately nodded his head, agreeing to what Natalia said to hide everything he knew. To keep everyone's mouth shut so that what was happening here wouldn't leak out.''Of course, you don't have to worry about me leaking it. I will definitely keep my mouth shut with everything that has happened, just relax.'' he reassured Natalia and managed to make her smile with relief, at least Robert could be trusted for now.''That's good, for the time being, we should hide everything that happened from everyone, especially Mattheo, he shouldn't know what his mother is planning.

    Ragen’s POVFrom where I was sitting, I could see Natalia shaking her head, looking very distrustful of me who dared to go against the law to get what I wanted.Of course I dare because it's not the law that I will fight against that I have in mind, but the property that will belong to Belle's two children that will also belong to me if I manage to get custody of the two children.Whatever she thinks, I don't care what she thinks here either, I'm not asking for her opinion.

But Natalia must also comply with what I want, whatever I tell her, she must obey!''Why are you shaking your head like that, Natalia? What are you thinking?''

    Ragen’s POV''Natalia, I only asked you to accompany me to the legal counsel. Why are you so scared of being found out by Mattheo? After all as long as we keep quiet and don't tell anyone then it will all be safe right, or do you really want me to do something to you first so that you will listen to what I say and make you want to obey my orders?''I stared at Natalia's two eyeballs so intently, giving off an intimidating aura that was so strong as to pressure Natalia and make her give up on her initial decision to refuse my orders.“Please, I can’t do this,” She’s still rejecting me.“You certainly know what I mean, Natalia. It's not a difficult thing to influence Mattheo to hate you by bringing up his children's names, I can do that if you continue to refuse me. Ah, how about I tell Mattheo that you secretly want to harm his children?''Natalia looked surprised when I suddenly turned my head to look at her, I also saw her body jumped up when I suddenly turned my head and looked at h
