Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 105

After closing the recorder app, she casually pocketed her phone. Then, with a composed expression, she hailed a cab and returned home.

It wasn’t until she crossed the threshold that Natalia felt as if all the energy had been siphoned from her body.

She stood frozen by the door for what seemed like an eternity before pulling out her phone to listen to Giselle’s recording once more.

Only after the playback did a sharp, unrelenting pain surge through her chest.

She hadn’t expected this. Her child, gone just like that.

Natalia clutched her phone tightly, and after what felt like an age, she let out a laugh.

It was a laugh, yes, but it was laced with an overwhelming sense of agony.

In the darkness of the room, she just stood there, motionless by the door, as if she was desperately trying to suppress the fury welling up within her.

It was the sudden jingle of her phone that shattered this oppressive stillness.

Taking a deep breath to calm herself, Natalia finally answered the call.

Natalia forced a smile. “Sounds good.”

“Where do you wanna go? We should plan it out.”

Leaning against the door, Natalia took her time before responding, “Anywhere is fine, you pick.”

Scarlett paused, sensing something off in Natalia’s voice.

“What’s wrong? Something happen again? Is Hamilton giving you trouble? That jerk…”

“Scarlett.” Before Scarlett could finish, Natalia abruptly cut her off.
