Cruel Destiny novel Chapter 37

Third Person POV

Linda screamed when the SUV hit their car. The force behind the crash was so much that their car turned over many times.

Even though she was wearing a seat belt, that couldn't save her from hitting her stomach on the end.

Liam on the other side had suffered the tremendous impact of the smash.

The windshield of the car broke and pierced the nerves of his hand. He could feel the agony in his entire body.

Something broke inside his body and he couldn't move his body. His legs were stuck and something heavy fell on them.

He let out a scream in anguish and the last thing he saw was a white light then everything was blank.

Someone, who had seen this accident, called paramedics. They reached the spot of the accident and rushed them to the hospital.

Linda was bleeding but still, her injury was not much visible other than the blood trickling down her legs.

Liam, on the other hand, was covered in blood as he was not wearing the seat belt.

He was so lost in his grief that he had forgotten to wear it and it made his injury severe.

They took both to the ER and after scanning their injury they shifted them to the ICU.

Liam opened his eyes and saw that he was alone. He was in a beautiful garden which couldn't be found on earth.

He was confused about his whereabouts. The last thing he remembered was getting into an accident.

He inspected his body and found that he wasn't injured. His body was in a good condition as he was before the accident.

He wandered a little and stopped when he heard a humming voice.

He followed the voice and found someone sitting under a Magnolia tree.

He went near that person and asked "Who are you?"

The person giggled and stood up and turned toward him. His breath stuck in his throat when he saw that it was none other than Natasha.

She was looking so beautiful in a white dress. She was always a nymph for him but now she was one in real life.

There was a glow and peace on her face which he had never seen. She was smiling and that was making her more alluring.

"Hello, Liam" she greeted him with her angelic voice

"Natasha" her name rolled off his tongue

"Am I dead?" He asked her the question which he had been waiting to ask.

"Right now, no. But you are in the middle. I just reached here last night." She told him with a smile.

A smile which he thought he would never see. A smile which he so badly wanted to watch on her face.

He went near her and said "I am so sorry. Please forgive me. Take me with you. I don't want to stay without you."

She just smiled and ignored his apology. Then started "God had asked me something when your accident happened."

"He wanted to know if I wanted you to die and stay with us. I denied him" she confessed.

With a smile on her beautiful face, she continued "I would have forgiven you if it was about me. But no, you killed our daughter too."

"I would have forgiven everyone who had wrong me. But for what they had done with my daughter, I won't forgive them."

He saw as she sighed and turned her back on him. She picked a baby out of the crib which he had not seen.

When she turned back toward him with Scarlett in her arms, he froze.

She was so beautiful and innocent just like her mother. But what he loved most was her eyes.

She had his eyes. Deep blue orbs that could hypnotize everyone. That's what she was doing with him.

He moved his hands to take her but Natasha moved back and with a smile said "No"

Tears filled in his eyes and he begged "Please let me hold her. Please I am begging you."

She just smiled and said "No liam. You do not deserve to touch her. She is angry with you. You humiliated her."

Still, the smile was plastered on her lips. She is now at peace and away from all the cruelty.

The tears started to fall from his eyes. He so badly wanted to touch his daughter who was staring at him with a pout.

"You have done wrong, Liam. And you will be punished for it." She told him with a peaceful look.

He looked at them with longing and said "Let me stay here with you all. I love you."

"Now the decision is not in my hand. We have already decided on your punishment." She replied to him while bouncing a laughing Scarlett in her arms.

"I didn't tell anyone to kill you, Nat. I haven't even told anyone to snatch your job and your house. I -"

He was cut off by a chuckle. She just stared at him for a few seconds and replied in her angelic voice.

"I know everything. Everything from starting and about your Miranda too. Let's just say, she had fooled you, Liam."

"You know I am wearing the dress which I had imagined when you said that you would marry me." She said with a sad chuckle.

"I had a lot of dreams. Dreams with you and Scarlett but you had crushed them with your hands."

She looked behind him and said "You have to leave. You are going back to get your punishment which you deserve."

She took a step toward him and stood so close to him that she was almost touching him.

"And when the right time comes, we will come to take you with us."

She touched his cheek which was wet with his tears and said "Till then, goodbye."

"Are you happy?" He asked her suddenly

She gave him a hearty smile and said "I am finally at peace."

With that, she disappeared within seconds. He looked around and called her over and over again.

"Natasha, please come back. Take me with you."

But all he heard was her giggles.

He suddenly gasped when his eyes opened. There was an immense pain in his body.

He was feeling dizzy and his legs were numb. He looked around and saw that he was in the hospital.

The room was white and he looked around and saw a nurse standing a little away from him.

'Where were Natasha and Scarlett.' He thought to himself

Then all memory hit him like a truck at high speed. The call, Natasha's death, the funeral, and the accident.

'Linda. Oh god, where was she? Is she ok? Is the baby ok?' These questions were roaming inside his head.

He observed that there were numerous wires attached to his body. There was an ugly looking thing covering his legs.

He cleared his throat to catch the attention of the nurse. She looked at him with surprise and called the doctor.

The doctor came inside the room and with a smile said "Welcome to the world, Mr. Liam."

"How long have I been out?" He asked in a hoarse voice

His throat was parched and it hurts while talking. He asked for water and the nurse gave it to him.

The doctor waited for a few seconds then said "It's been 2 months"

He let him digest the information for a couple of seconds then continued "To be honest, it's a miracle that you are even alive."

Liam was stunned when he heard the news regarding his situation. How does time pass so quickly?

He got into that accident yesterday. There must be something wrong.

"How's Linda? And my child? She is pregnant." He asked him in concern

The doctor sighed and said, "I am sorry to say Mr. Liam but she miscarried that child."

Liam shook his head, denying to believe the lie. Their child couldn't be dead.

He had already lost his two children and now he couldn't bear the thought of losing his other child.

He gave a cold stare to the doctor and seethed "you have been lying since I woke up. Stop lying"

He ended up coughing and the nurse again gave him a sip of water.

The doctor's face didn't falter. He just gave him a sad smile and said "I am not lying, Mr. Liam"

"The accident was fatal but it didn't affect Miss Jones that much. She had miscarried her child but there was no other injury surprisingly."

"If you want to know further then you have to talk to Dr. Allen. He was the one who had handled her case."

Liam cried when he heard that his third child had died too. Kelly was right.

He ruined everything he had touched. He wanted to accept their child but again Karma punished him.
