Cruel Destiny

Natasha POV (7 months pregnant)

If I'd been thinking that my life before this was bad, now, it's horrible.

Sometimes I wanted to run away from my problems instead of facing them.

But sadly I can't do that. I have to face my problems like a big girl.

Two weeks ago, I got the notice from the court that I would have to compensate Liam for defaming him.

My hands started to shiver when I had looked at the amount. It was too much for me.

The amount they have been asking was three fourth of my savings. I had been saving it for Scarlett.

I didn't have any choice other than compensating for the punishment.

If I didn't have paid it, they would have locked me into prison and I don't want that.

Now I have only some savings left which are inadequate to survive and on top of that, I have been working only in a diner.

I have to somehow adjust with these savings and have to find a second job or else I will be on the road after the delivery.

Kelly had called me every day but like a coward, I have been avoiding her calls.

I don't want to impose my problems on her anymore. I am now going to be a mother.

It's high time for me to woman up and face my problems without creating any chaos.

To be honest, I don't want to worry kelly. She has been a constant support for me and I love her for that.

I just can't be selfish and snatch her happiness. I don't want to give her any tension.

I have been dealing with constant nightmares. They are horrible and kept me awake all night.

Scott didn't contact me after that day and I am grateful for that.

I don't want him to jeopardize his happiness for someone like me.

But yeah I have been getting calls from Sophia (Scott's mother). She was missing me and I missed her too.

She had given me the love of a mother which I had been craving. She had shown me that I could be loved too.

But too bad I can't see her again as I had told her that I am leaving this city.

She was upset and had told me to consider it again but I told her that I am going to live with Kelly.

Now they are my past and I have to focus on my present and my future.

"Ughh, just because I am pregnant that doesn't mean you would treat me like a glass. I can carry this bag."

I heard someone's voice in front of me. I raised my gaze toward the source of the voice.

It was a woman who was probably in her mid-20s. She was pregnant and has a cute belly.

She might be in her 4 months. A man was standing beside her and from what I could see, he was her husband or boyfriend.

The man chuckled "I know love. Now move on. You are standing for too long. It's your time to take rest."
