Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart

Chapter 166

Natalia's frown deepened as she stepped outside, only to see Graham had made yet another appearance.

This time, he wasn't alone; a crew trailed behind him.

Trouble was brewing.

A shadow crossed Natalia's face as she quickly gestured for Debby to call security.

Graham, heedless of those around him, was determined to barge in.

"Natalia, get out here!" he bellowed.

The two bouncers blocked his path, unresponsive to his bluster.

"Do you know who the hell I am? I'm that woman's husband! What right do you have to stop me from seeing my wife?" Graham sneered at them.

The bouncers' faces remained stone-cold, ignoring his rant.

Graham continued to shout. "Natalia, come out, or I swear I'll wreck this hospital!"

Natalia's expression turned grim.

She didn't keep hiding, though.

Graham was here for her, and she knew he wouldn't back down until she faced him.

"Graham, this isn't your playground! Go ahead, make a move. I dare you!"

If her memory served her right, this hospital belonged to the Lehner family.

Graham could make a fuss looking for her, and she might not have a way out.

But if he dared to cause a scene, to damage property, the Lehner family wouldn't let him off the hook. That, however, was something Graham didn't realize.

He had come with a posse today, intending to escalate things until Natalia was forced to capitulate.

It was all because of the debt he owed, which was due, and he was banking on Lucinda's payout.

Of course, if Natalia could cough up five hundred thousand, he wouldn't be at a loss.

In the end, whoever paid him was on his side.

Graham smirked maliciously. "Natalia, who are you trying to scare? You think I don't know you're cut off from Hamilton now? Do you really think he'd come to your rescue?" With that, he gave a signal, and one of his cronies swung a baseball bat at a decorative planter in the hallway, shattering it. Passersby screamed in terror.

Graham's cold laughter echoed.

"See? I told you I'd do it!"

Natalia ignored him, her eyes fixed on the elevator.

Graham mistook her silence for fear and motioned for his goons to continue their rampage.
