Chapter 441: Natalie’s Truth

By age fourteen, Natalie had fallen in love with Kate. Or so she believed in her twisted head. She was a loyal puppy who would do anything she wanted as long as she got rewarded in the end. She became highly protective of Kate, craved Kate’s attention like a drug, and couldn’t do without her.

By age fifteen, Natalie had begun to resent her father. David had no right to Kate—she, Natalie, was the one who she loved. So the quarrels with her father started.

David could not understand where all the attitude was coming from. Of course he couldn’t. Not when Natalie kept a tight lip on what the problem was. So one night, Natalie’s jealousy got to a fever point. She took a knife and attempted to stab David while he was asleep with Kate.

Natalie wasn’t scared of Kate finding out what she did. She did it for her. Because she loved her.

Unfortunately, the wound was shallow, and David had been quick to wake and overpower her, thus saving his life. The incident was kept under wraps, but the damage had been done.

David sent her to Lunaris Academy. Yes, the school was her punishment and prison. Her father could only feel safe knowing she would be back only on holidays.

Being away from Kate was hell, and like a junkie, she suffered withdrawals. It got so bad that she escaped from school one day just to see Kate, but the woman had sent security who bundled her back to school and ensured she couldn’t escape again.

Natalie felt betrayed. She could have done anything for Kate. And yet, she treated her like that.

Settling down in Lunaris Academy, she got to hear about the Counselor that made one’s problems go away. Natalie was in a bad place, and she just wanted everything to go away, even if it was for a second.

So Natalie booked a "session" with him. Mid-passion, unknown to her, Micah stole her memories. However, it was so twisted that Micah blurted, "You fuck your stepmother?"

Just like that, the truth was out.
