Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 42

Chapter 42

Natalia had barely stepped out of the police precinct when her phone rang with Scarlett’s voice on the other end.

“Did you get hurt last night?”

Natalia chuckled. “Yeah, but it’s nothing serious. Don’t worry about it.”

“Jesus, Natalia, you scared the hell out of me, you know? I just saw the news online. Some crazed fan of Eveleen?”

“That’s right.” Natalia replied, her laugh tinged with irony. “Apparently, I’m the homewrecker who ruined Eveleen and Hamilton’s picture–perfect romance, so she was out to teach me a lesson.”

“Bullshit! Who’s wrecking what here? Does Eveleen have anything to do with Hamilton now? Didn’t Hamilton himself admit it’s all in the past? Eveleen’s got nothing to do with him anymore. so what’s there to wreck? And you, for heaven’s sake, you’ve been with Hamilton for three years and now you’re carrying his child. Who’s the real other woman here?”

The bitterness in Natalia’s heart deepened.

“What can I do when I’m the one without the ring on my finger?”

Scarlett choked up. “And Eveleen’s got the right? She’s in the same boat, with no official title. How’s she any better than you? No one has the right to point fingers!”

Natalia’s laughter broke through her somber mood. “Don’t worry, I’m alright.”

“And the baby? Why don’t you come over, and I’ll do an ultrasound for you?”

The corners of Natalia’s lips curved slightly. “I already had one at the hospital last night. The doc said everything’s fine.”

Scarlett exhaled a sigh of relief. “Thank God the baby’s okay. If anything had happened, I’d have gone after Eveleen myself!”

“Relax, the little one’s fine, snug as a bug in my belly.” Natalia paused, then, added, “And besides, this thing isn’t Eveleen’s fault.”

“Ha! You think I believe that?” Scarlett scoffed. “If this isn’t Eveleen’s doing, I’ll eat my hat!”

Natalia smiled without comment. She knew all too well that Eveleen was involved somehow. “But without proof, what can I do? I’ve just left the station, and it seems the case is closed.”

And Hamilton’s intentions were crystal clear. Despite her protests that Eveleen owed her no apology, that man had still offered her compensation.
