Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 153

Chapter 152

Natalia's face turned a pallid shade of fury. She spun on her heel, intent on leaving.

"I'll check out some other hotels."

Hamilton's eyes narrowed slightly as he reached out and grabbed her arm.

"Let go!" she yelled.

A dangerous gleam sparked in Hamilton's eyes. "You're that opposed to sharing a room with me?"

Natalia's expression soured. "Hamilton, considering what's between us, do you really think it's appropriate to share a room?" Hamilton scoffed. "Doesn't bother me."

"Well, it bothers me!"

With that, Natalia wrenched her arm free and stormed off.

Hamilton, unphased, caught up with her and steered her into the elevator.

Inside the elevator, surrounded by strangers, Natalia ceased her struggle, but her lips were pressed into a tight line.

Every nerve in her body screamed in resistance to the ambiguity that clouded her relationship with Hamilton.

However, this man was relentlessly unwilling to let her go.

Once out of the elevator, Hamilton pulled her swiftly into the room.

No sooner had they crossed the threshold than he pinned her against the door.

His overwhelming presence pressed down on her.

Just as he was about to lean in for a kiss, a sudden ring from his phone sliced through the silence of the room.

The unexpected sound was stark in the quiet space.

Hamilton paused, and at that moment, Natalia's high heel came crashing down on his foot without mercy.

Hamilton let out a muffled grunt.

She pushed him away and left the room in haste.

Hamilton watched her retreating figure with a grimace.

He pulled out his phone and answered the call with a growl.

"This better be a matter of life or death, Alden, or you're a dead man."

There was a pause before Alden spoke. "Bro, I've found something."

Hamilton's eyes narrowed as he lit a cigarette.
