Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 50

Hamilton’s legal team was a force to be reckoned with.

If Hamilton refused to let her go, his lawyers could probably strip her down to the bone.

Natalia’s heart was steeped in bitterness as she confronted him. “Hamilton, what on earth do you want from me?” she asked.

She simply couldn’t fathom why Hamilton was so insistent on keeping her by his side.

Hamilton sat at the dining table, his expression unreadable in the dim light. “Don’t I always say I don’t take kindly to defiance, Ms. Jenkins? Have you forgotten?”

Natalia’s lips were a tight line. Of course, she hadn’t forgotten.

Hamilton was a domineering man, who never cared for anyone else’s feelings. He hated defiance, which was why he forced her to stay when she wanted to leave.

And that was also why he dismissed her resignation without a second thought. Right?

So that was it. Natalia realized the truth with a wry smile.

“Alright, I understand.”

“Good, Ms. Jenkins. As long as you do.”

After Hamilton finished speaking, he motioned to her, “Come on, have some more to eat.”

Natalia had no appetite, but she knew all too well that refusal was futile with this man. She forced herself to sit back at the table and managed to eat a bowl of apple cinnamon oatmeal.

Hamilton sat silently beside her, waiting until she was done before he spoke again.

“If

you feel like the break was too short, I can extend it. Get your health back up. We can talk about everything else later.”

Natalia nodded indifferently. By now, she was beyond caring.

Hamilton regarded her silently for a moment before he added, “The father of that fan has been detained. Do you have any demands, or shall I have the lawyers come over to discuss with you?”

“No need, you handle it,” Natalia responded.

Hamilton nodded once more, then fell silent.

Natalia had expected Hamilton to leave soon after, but surprisingly, he showed no sign of departing. She had no desire to share the same space with him.
