Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 110

Chapter 110

Hamilton’s gaze was heavy as he looked at her. Natalia’s clean and pretty face still wore a smile.

He had once said he liked her smile. But now, that smile was painfully irksome.

He let out a mocking laugh. “So you can’t wait to leave me, huh?”

Natalia simply looked at him, offering no response. But the answer couldn’t have been clearer.

Hamilton’s grip on her chin suddenly tightened.

“Natalia, I’ve told you before, without my say–so, you’re not going anywhere. I hope you never forget that!”

With that, he released Natalia and strode out of the room.

Natalia let out a wry laugh and went to freshen up before heading to bed.

The next day.

Scarlett, worried about Natalia’s mood, had taken a day off, especially to keep her company.

Natalia felt okay, really, but she didn’t want to brush off Scarlett’s kind gesture.

They headed out early for a day of shopping. Though they called it shopping, Scarlett spent most of the time observing Natalia’s expressions.

Aware of her friend’s concern, Natalia laughed it off gently. “I’m fine, Scarlett. You don’t need to keep looking at me like that.”

Scarlett pouted. “That jerk, Hamilton, is blind as a bat. Otherwise, he wouldn’t take a gem like you for granted and go chasing after Eveleen, the so–called innocent flower.”

Natalia chuckled. “Scarlett, our arrangement was clear from the start. I have nothing to complain about. I can’t control falling for him, but as long as I remember what our relationship truly is, I’m okay. Whether he’s engaged or married to Eveleen, I don’t care..

If this conversation had happened before, Scarlett would have believed her words. But ever since she learned how long Natalia had harbored feelings for Hamilton, she found those words hard to trust.

How could she not care? It was just a facade of indifference. In reality, Natalia must be hurting like hell.

“Just wait, he’ll regret this.”

Natalia didn’t respond to that. She just smiled. “Scarlett, sooner or later, I’ll leave Hamilton.” She knew all too well that the man didn’t love her. So, even though her feelings were strong, she
