Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 58

Natalia was utterly baffled by the man’s sudden attitude. Instinctively, she sensed his anger boiling beneath the surface. She didn’t approach him, just stood by the edge of the bed..

“We can talk like this,” she said.

Hamilton’s eyes narrowed sharply as he reached out and yanked Natalia’s wrist, pulling her towards him.

With hardly any strength to resist, Natalia stumbled and crashed onto his chest. Hamilton’s arms wrapped tightly around her waist, spinning her around and pinning her against the windowsill.

“Who did you see?” His voice was icy enough to frost over.

Pressed against the windowsill, Natalia winced in discomfort, struggling reflexively.

Hamilton’s expression darkened with her every move.

He tightened his grip, making Natalia feel as if her back was against the blunt edge of a knife.

“I’m asking you, which guy did you meet with?”

“It hurts, Hamilton!”

Hamilton let out a mocking laugh. “Sorry about that.”

But his grip didn’t loosen.

Tears welled up in Natalia’s eyes as her lips trembled slightly. “Hamilton, are you out of your mind?”

“I’m out of my mind? Or are you being ungrateful?” His words were clenched with frustration.

“I don’t know what you mean. I just had a meal with Lionel, that’s all! Am I not even allowed to have a meal with someone else now?”

Her relationship with Lionel was as transparent as day. Yet, Hamilton irrationally fumed over him time and time again.

As for his own dealings with Eveleen, their lack of innocence was common knowledge, yet he paraded her around Natalia without a care in the world.

Hamilton’s scoff was cut by a sudden release of his hold.

Natalia coughed violently, gasping for air.
