Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 141

Chapter 141

Hamilton let out a derisive snort as the call disconnected with a beep.

This woman, he mused, was really growing bolder by the minute. She had the gall to block his number even before they had finalized their split.

Stubbing out his cigarette, Hamilton shot off a text message.

[Call me back.]

After sending it, he couldn’t peel his eyes away from the phone, waiting for Natalia’s response.

But Natalia didn’t call back. His phone remained silent, the conversation frozen on the screen. A sense of suffocation gripped Hamilton. The anger within him simmered, impossible to quench. He had resolved not to insist, to let go. But thinking it and doing it were worlds apart.

His grip tightened on the phone.

He wanted to go see her.

But then what? Why cling to a lost cause?

Why demean himself, as if he couldn’t survive without her?

He picked up the phone, then set it down again, a restless cycle.

The silence of the phone grew heavy, oppressive. Frustrated, Hamilton scrolled through his sparse chat history with Natalia.

He realized that he rarely messaged her directly, usually going through Linda or simply having sex at home. They barely talked.

Looking at the few messages on his screen, discomfort churned within him.

Was she like this with everyone else?

Unlikely. At least with Scarlett, their chats seemed lively.

Suddenly, he remembered when they first got together, Natalia often sent him messages. She would text about a strangely shaped cloud, a new recipe she tried, her mood, or just trivial

things.

How did he respond to those messages?

Hamilton couldn’t recall, but knowing himself, he probably didn’t reply. He might have even found her annoying, telling her to stop bothering him.

Eventually, she did stop.

The more he thought about it, the more stifled he felt. Rubbing his temples, he got dressed and stormed out.
