Cruel Destiny

Natasha POV

My breath stuck in my throat when I listened to the dangerous voice that I had ever heard.

It was filled with authority and darkness which was ordering me to comply with his orders or the consequence would be worse.

With trembling hands, I closed the door and kept the bag down at the side of the door.

I took some steps toward the living area and switched on the lights. Instantly, the room got filled with lights instead of cold darkness. The man didn't turn his face toward me. He just kept smoking like he hadn't just broken into my house.

"Who are you?" I asked with a slightly raised voice.

I didn't show him that he was scaring me or making me feel like anything. I had enough experience regarding this situation.

That man threw the cigar on the floor making me scrunch my nose at his action.

He stood up from the couch and turned toward me. He was probably in his late 40s.

But he was not looking that much old. I had seen that man somewhere.

His face was familiar to me. I tried very hard to focus on my memory.

The memory hit me like a truck. Now I knew why he looked familiar to me and where I had seen him.

He is James Knights, Liam's father. I had got a glimpse of him when I saw the news regarding Liam's marriage.

Now I am frightened. What was he doing here? Is that a kind of game for his family?

First son and now his father. I took a step back when he stood in front of me.

I looked at his eyes with fear while he just stared at me blankly. I licked my dry lips and asked "what are you doing here?"

He raised his hand toward me and I flinched thinking that he would hit me.

He just caresses my hair which made me cringe. I hate his touch. I wanted him to take his hand away.

I jerked back and his hand fell. I sighed in relief and told him "Get out of my house before I call the cops."

As soon as I said cops, he chuckled. It sent shivers down my spine. I shuddered when I heard his words. "Go ahead and call the cops. Let's see what happens."

The smirk on his face was telling me everything I needed to know. He must have known about that corrupt officer. "Now if you are done being a child, let's move on. I don't have any time to waste on you." He spoke nonchalantly He is saying these words as if I had invited him to my house to ask for some favors from him.

"I am James Knights." He said while looking into my eyes then continued "Liam's father."

I gulped in frustration. I am helpless here. Everyone comes to my house without my permission and does whatever they like.

I can't do anything about it. I can't complain about it to cops as they all are corrupted and Liam would get to know about it.

I can't tell Kelly as I don't want to disturb her or put her into some problems.

I can't tell Scott as I had broken my friendship with him and had lied to his mother that I have left the state.

As a result, I am all alone. I am right now in a vulnerable condition where I can't do anything.

If I wanted to save myself from Liam then I have to listen to all of them.

"Liam had told me about his little whore. He had told me that he knocked you up." He smirked

I didn't say anything. I was silent. It's not like I didn't hear it from someone else.

They all had addressed me as his whore and even Liam had done that too.

And to be honest, I am tired of explaining myself to everyone. I am now just ignoring their nonsense.

"Stay away from my son. I don't want to see you anywhere near him. He is now going to get married to his love and his fiance is pregnant. The least he wanted in his life is a headache." He asserted. "Maybe he didn't pay you enough. I am ready to pay you more if you want. But stay away from their life or I will ruin you." He threatened me.

"You are an orphan and have no one. No one would find you if you die. They won't even get to know about it. Do a favor for yourself and your child. Don't interfere in his life." He remarked with a raised eyebrow.

I did what I thought that I would never do. I laughed at him. Loudly and sarcastically.

The cold look that he had masked fell for a few seconds but he composed himself quickly.

"Why does he think that everything revolves around him and his family. You guys aren't that special. You are humans too but you never considered the person standing in front of you a living being." I said courageously.

"I was not the one who was running behind him. He was the one who was behind me and still is." I informed him.

"Silence. You are crossing your limit, girl. You have created a lot of chaos in my family and I won't tolerate it anymore." He seethed

I took a step back in fear when he stepped into my private place.

"Leave from my house. You and your son are not welcomed here." I warned him.

"You are nothing in front of me, you whore. If I want, I can get you killed and no one would blame me." He hissed

But after that, he took a step back and with a smirk said "But I won't do that. Live your life till you can."

"I will ruin everyone who dares to mess with my family. Liam is my only son so I could do everything for him." He said with a poker face.

Without saying anything, he walked toward the door and opened it.

"Live till you can Natasha." He said and went outside.

I walked toward the door and closed it. I made sure to lock it even though they all had keys to my house.

I sighed and walked toward my room without making my dinner. I am tired right now and the food is the last thing in my mind.

I laid down on my bed and started to think about the day. It was another rollercoaster ride for me.

I got to know that Linda is pregnant with Liam's child. I sighed and stared ahead of me.

There is a lot of difference between Linda and me. First is she is rich and I am not.

She is so beautiful and gorgeous and I am average. I barely got any time to rest so I didn't pamper myself.

She has everything I wanted and craved. A family, friends, and a loving fiance.

She has a nice job and she is educated while I am just a waitress as Liam had addressed and only a high school graduate.

She is getting all the rest she wanted to in her pregnancy whereas I have to do a hardworking job.

So that I and my daughter won't end up on the streets after delivery.

Whatever money I had stored went into the drain. Liam had snatched whatever I had.

I didn't know when my tears started to fall. All I did in my life was cry.

Pregnancy should be a nice period in a woman's life. But it seems like I am not included in that category.

I have been crying throughout my pregnancy and I am tired of it.

I wanted it to end so that I could enjoy this period with a smile.

I want to be loved. But it looks like I am asking for something which is not in my destiny.

In Cruel Destiny.
