Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 123

Chapter 123

Natalia didn’t answer Hamilton’s question. All she wanted to do was wriggle out of his grip and take a cold shower to clear her head.

But Hamilton wasn’t about to let her go.

“Let me go, Hamilton. You have to let me go!”

Natalia felt like a fish out of water, desperate for the soothing embrace of the sea. She was inexplicably drawn to the man before her, yet her mind was in turmoil, fighting the impulse.

“I need to take a shower, Hamilton; let me go.”

Hamilton’s brow furrowed deeply. It was then he realized that the red mark on her face wasn’t the only thing off about her.

Her temperature and overall state were far from normal. The thought of what might be afflicting her turned his face as cold as a slab of ice. Suddenly, he gripped her wrist, trapping her in his

arms.

“Natalia, where have you been? Who did you meet? What did you eat?”

Natalia could barely make out what Hamilton was saying, fighting against her own instincts.

She wanted him, this man.

But deep down, she didn’t want to beg him for anything.

She bit down on her lip so hard the taste of iron spread in her mouth, but she didn’t loosen her grip.

Hamilton held her even tighter. Seeing her lips were already bleeding, he pinched her chin, forcing her to release the bite.

His voice was chilling, his eyes blazing with an almost tangible fire. “Who did you meet? What did you eat? Answer me!”

Natalia’s eyes reddened, her voice trembling with the agony of the drug coursing through her. But the pain Hamilton inflicted by squeezing her chin brought back a sliver of clarity.

She clutched at his shirt, knuckles white. “Gideon Chappelle, he wanted to see the villa.”

Hamilton’s eyes narrowed dangerously.

“Did he drug you? Did he touch you?”

“No! I told him… I belong to you, and he stopped.”

Hamilton’s expression didn’t soften.

She whispered, “Can you let me go now? Hamilton, I really need that shower.”

Hearing her plead, a wave of awkwardness washed over Hamilton. Even now, she was pushing
