Cruel Destiny

Chapter 19

Natasha POV

My heart was beating wildly in my chest and I just hope they both couldn't hear it.

Liam was staring at me without any emotions and suddenly his lips curled into an evil smile.

On the other hand, Miss Jones was gawking at me hard. She was looking very confused then her eyes

went to my bump.

Her eyes lit up and she gave me a big smile and said "hello. I am Linda and this is my fiance Liam."

Her last words had hurt me but I still gave her a smile that had easily covered my pain.

"So what do you want to order, ma'am," I asked her with a smile.

"I have heard many good things about this restaurant. I would like to order today's special." She replied

I turned my face toward Liam and with a smile asked "What about you, Sir."

"I would order the same." He said

"I'll come back with your order. Till then do you want something to drink?" I asked them

"Just water please," Linda said with a smile.

"Sure, ma'am," I said and turned around and started walking.

"Liam she is pregnant." I heard Linda speaking to him.

"I can see that Linda. It is pretty much apparent to me." He replied to her in a bored tone.

"Do you think she will let me touch her baby bump. I haven't touched the baby bump ever." She asked

him with an excited tone.

"I don't know. And why do you want to touch it? She is looking like a bitch to me." He said

I felt the stinging in my eyes and I could bet that he was telling her this because he wanted me to hear

this.

"Nope. I don't think so. She is looking really sweet and she didn't stare at you like other people. She

was attending you like any other customer." Linda explained to him.

"But she is pregnant and she ain't married. She must be a slut who doesn't know how to keep her legs

close." He said venomously

I blinked my eyes quickly to remove the traitor tears which were about to flow.

"Don't say that Liam. Maybe it was her boyfriend's child. And even if she was single, still we don't have

any right to comment anything about her character." She said with a sigh.

I was touched that someone had defended me ever in my life. I mean everyone just wanted to blame

me about anything.

I went inside and told them to ready their order. After a few minutes, their order was ready so I took

them out and served it to them.

"If you need anything, please call me," I said politely

I walked quickly as much as I could with my 6 months pregnant belly. I have to get away from his eyes.

I sat on the empty chair where I was sitting and took some deep breaths.

No matter how much I tell myself that his words are not hurting me but the result is the opposite.

I know if I tell someone then they will call me stupid and whatnot for not getting over him.

But they didn't know that no one had ever shown me that kind of affection and fake love before.

My heart just fell for him without my mind's permission. Oh god please give me the strength to bear

this.

And I think I should start to ignore him again and behave like we didn't meet ever.

I saw that almost half an hour had passed which I had spent while thinking about my life.

I got up slowly and walked toward them and with a fake smile said "do you want anything else?"

"No sweety. It was delicious." She grinned.

"I am glad you liked it," I spoke with a smile.

Liam paid the bill and they both stood up. He put his hands on her waist and gave me a small smirk.

I ignored him and his actions. He then said "Come on Linda. We have to leave."

She removed his hand from her waist and said "Babe why don't you go and wait. I have to talk to

Natasha about something."

He gave me a look which said 'Don't you dare say anything to her'. I ignored him again.

He left, then she turned to me, and with a smile said "please sit sweety."

With a nervous feeling, I sat down on the chair and she sat in front of me with a soft expression.

"I remember you. You have grown into a beautiful young woman." She blurted out.

I looked at her with confusion and wondered how she knew me and where she met me.

She must have noticed my confused expression and continued "it was 2 or 3 years ago. Remember

some guys were misbehaving with you."

My eyes widened when I heard this from her mouth. I couldn't forget that night when I was about to get

raped.

There were 2 men and 1 woman who had saved me that night but I didn't get to see their faces.

"Ah. I can see that you remembered that night. It was me, Liam and Adam, my friend. They didn't see

your face as they were busy threatening the boys. But I had seen your face, you were looking shaken

up." She explained softly.

So it was her, Liam and Kelly's ex. I couldn't believe that it was they who had saved me.

"I wanted to thank the person who had saved me but I was panicking that time. Thank you for saving

me that time." I told her with a grateful smile.

She shook her head and said "there is no need for thanking me, sweety. I would have done that for

anyone. But I was glad that I could save a sweet girl like you."

"Now I have a wish. Would you fulfill that?" She asked me with a hopeful expression.

"I will," I said

"I want to touch your bump and feel the baby. I have never felt it. Would you let me?" She asked me

with a pout.

I smiled and stood up from the chair and moved in front of her. Scarlett was overactive today.

"Give me your hand," I said and put her hand on the lower part of my stomach.

She jumped when she felt Scarlett kick on her hand. I giggled and she looked at me with a delighted

face.

"Baby likes me." She said ecstatically.

"She does," I said, and then she stood up.

She put her hand on my face and said "Take care of yourself and baby girl.

We will meet again if god wants us to."

She leaned forward and kissed my cheek and pulled back and said "I should get going otherwise my

fiance will get worried."

"Bye," she said and I waved my hand to say bye.

She is really a sweetheart and I can't believe that she is friends with Liam and that Adam guy.

I shook my head and walked toward the other customers to take their orders.

My day passed in a blur after that and now it's time for me to leave.

I bid goodbye to my companions here and took my jacket and walked out of the restaurant.

I stuffed my hands in my jacket's pocket and started to walk toward my house.

Today was really chilly and my hands are literally freezing and all I wanted to do was drink hot coffee.

But due to pregnancy, I couldn't do that. Scott had warned me that it may affect the growth of the baby.

And I don't want to do anything which will affect the health of my baby girl.

I felt a hand on my shoulder and I jumped and my heart started to beat fast.

I turned back and saw that it was Scott who was looking at me with a concerned look.

"Are you okay, Tasha? I am sorry. I didn't mean to scare you but I have been calling your name from

the past 5 minutes." He stated.

He stepped close to me and rubbed my shoulder for me to relax. I took some deep breaths and said

"You just scared me."

"I am sorry, Tasha." He said with a guilty expression.

"It's okay. But what are you doing here." I asked him. Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

His hands were now on my waist and surprisingly I didn't flinch or felt uncomfortable in his embrace.

"I was leaving for the clinic but then I saw you and thought about dropping you at home." He said

I was about to reply but then I felt someone's eyes on me and I turned my face and saw that it was

none other than.

"Liam"
