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.

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.
