Cruel Destiny

Chapter 35

Third Person POV

Linda slowly descended the stairs with her 3 months pregnant bump.

Her eyes were filled with tears of betrayal and anger with a mix of sadness.

She couldn't believe what she had heard. Her Liam couldn't do something like that.

But he wasn't her Liam anymore. She never thought that she would get a shock like this when she told

the guard to allow Natasha inside the house.

Liam had wronged Natasha. That poor soul doesn't deserve something like this.

She stood in front of him and asked "Was Natasha telling the truth?"

She knew the answer as she had heard everything but still she wanted to listen to this from his mouth.

"Yes," he whispered with a broken sigh.

The force of the slap was enough for him to stumble. He gaped at her but didn't say anything.

He deserved that slap and many more things that she has to deliver.

She grabbed the collar of his shirt and asked "How could you do that to someone so innocent? How

could you ruin her life along with her child? You just didn't spoil her life. You have done the same with

me and our child."

She was sobbing after telling him her thoughts. He had no answer for that other than 'I am sorry'

"You should apologize to her, Liam. You have spoiled her whole life. Do you know who she was?" She

asked him

She didn't wait for the answer and said "She was the same girl whom we had rescued that night from

those men."

His eyes widened when he heard her. How could she be that girl whom he had saved?

He had saved her that night from getting raped but he was the one who got her raped this time.

Tears started to fall from his eyes and he fell on his knees. He was depressed and had no peace in his

life.

"You screamed her name when you came that night. I didn't know that it was her." She confessed to

him with a broken voice

Then she continued "I have done everyone you wanted. I have been just waiting for you to love me

back. Is that too much to ask?"

"Do you love me?" She asked him suddenly

He looked at her with guilt in his eyes. He was going to break her heart and he doesn't want to do that.

"I don't love you." He whispered with tears falling from his eyes.

She just nodded with a sob and said "I knew that."

"What about Natasha?" She questioned him softly

"I feel something for her but I only loved Miranda." He replied to her

Fury flashed into her eyes and she shouted "Don't take the name of that bitch in front of me. She had

used you, Liam."

She knew the real Miranda better than anyone else. She was nothing but a cheating bitch.

She had tried to tell him about her but he was so lost in his love that he forgot what is right and what is

wrong.

"I love Natasha." He mumbled slowly as if scared to voice out his words.

"You love Natasha." She asserted

"I love Natasha. Oh god, I love her. What have I done? Linda, she left me. What will I do now?" He

sobbed, covering his face with his hands

Her heart was breaking, watching him crying for someone who was not her.

She knelt on her knees and grabbed his face softly and said "Don't let her leave then. Stop her before

she could leave."

Kelly was crying loudly on the phone but she didn't get any response from the other side.

With trembling heart, she booked her flight but due to snowstorm tickets were not available.

She cursed loudly and with her another phone, she called Scott.

.

.

.

Scott was on the way to the hospital for the emergency. It was quite difficult to reach there as the snow

was falling heavily.

He turned his attention to the seat where his phone was kept. He was as usual waiting for her to call

like he has been doing for 1 month.

He remembered her words that she won't call him but still he had a hope inside him that someday she

will call him.

His phone rang and his eyes lit up thinking that it might be Natasha but he frowned when he saw that it

was from an unknown number.

He picked it up thinking that it might be some patient and replied "Hello. This is Dr. Scott Allen."

He heard a sobbing sound from the other end and the person replied "Scott it's me, Kelly. Please save

her. She is dying."

His heart stopped for a few seconds. It was the same words he had heard when his wife was dying.

"Who? Please tell me what happened?" He somehow let out

"She got into an accident and she isn't replying to anything. She was near the bus station. Due to a

snowstorm, the paramedics could not reach there. Please help her. I will be there too. It will take some

time. Please." She pleaded to him

"Kelly, don't cry. I'm reaching there." He said and cut the call.

He turned his car toward the bus station with a determination to reach there and save her before

anything happened to her.

[I have changed the cast of Adam cuz I'll use that character in my next story ]

Adam reached the destination after some time. He ran out of his car and shouted her name.

But he got no response. He groaned loudly and started to wander around the streets to find her.

It was a difficult task as the snow was falling heavily. He was frustrated and scared.

He doesn't want to lose his sister before even meeting her. She was all he thought after he got to know

from their mother.

He was passing by that alley when he saw a figure lying on the ground. She was pregnant.

He ran toward her and heard Kelly crying. He could hear that she was trying to talk to her but was

getting no response.

He sat on his knees and removed her hair from her face. His breath hitched when he saw that she was

the girl whom he had met last month.

She was so close to him yet he couldn't save her. With trembling hands, he shook her and let out her

name "Natasha."

"Adam are you there?" Kelly asked him immediately.

"It's me, Kelly" he voiced out

It was a strange thing to talk to her after a lot of time. She sounded the same as she always did.

"Please save her, Adam. She is not waking up. Take her to the hospital. I'll call her doctor." She replied

to him

She doesn't care that she was taking help from the person she hates. Her love for Natasha is more

than anyone else.

"Ok," he said and cut the call and put it in his pocket.

He checked her pulse which was not there. It couldn't happen. He picked her up and saw that her

clothes were drenched in blood and snow.

With tears falling down his eyes, he took her toward his car and laid her down in the back seat.

He covered her with the blanket he brought from his home. He looked at her dead body with teary eyes

and said "Please don't die."

He started the engine and drove to the hospital. He got a phone call and he picked it up and said

"Hello"

"This is Dr. Scott. I am Natasha's doctor. Her friend informed me that you are taking her to the hospital."

He heard from the other end.

"I'll take her there quickly." He whispered

He looked at her from the rear mirror and saw that she hadn't moved an inch since that time.

He wiped his tears with his free hand and just hoped he wasn't too late.

He got another phone and he picked it up without looking at the name and heard "Hello Adam. It's

urgent."

It was from Liam who was driving out in the snowstorm to reach and stop Natasha from leaving.

"It can't be as urgent as my sister, Liam. I have found her. She was the same girl we had seen last

month. Liam, she is dying." He cried on the phone.

Without knowing that, he was telling the same person who had ruined his sister's life.

"Natasha " Liam whispered lowly

"I am taking her to the nearby hospital. I'll call you later." He mumbled and cut the call.

He had never imagined meeting his sister in this condition. She wasn't breathing but he had hoped that

she would be alright.

A hope which couldn't do anything.

.

.

.

Everything was set up in the hospital for Natasha. They were just waiting for her to arrive.

Due to the unavailability of the plane, Kelly was driving the whole way through Chicago to Davenport.

She was shaking and her eyes were blurred with the tears which she was continuously shedding.

She doesn't want to lose Natasha. She was the only one in her life who loves her unconditionally.

She blamed herself because she didn't fight her to come with her when she left that city.

Had she known that this would happen, then she would have dragged Natasha with her.

She didn't know how this day turned worse. She had prepared everything to make Natasha

comfortable in her house.

She had even bought baby furniture and toys so that Scarlett would be alright.

She could just hope that Natasha and Scarlett were alright.

.

.

.

Adam reached the hospital, it took him at least one hour. He scooped Natasha in his arms and rushed

inside her.

They took her to the ICU where a lot of doctors were present excluding Scott.

They checked her heartbeat but found none. Her lips had turned blue due to hypothermia.

It was obvious to everyone that she was dead and many hours had passed.

They called Scott inside for the Cesarean. She might be dead but maybe her baby was alive.

When Scott came inside, he stumbled when he saw Natasha who was that time nothing but a dead

body.

Somehow controlling his tears, he moved toward the table for the Cesarean.

His hands were trembling but still, he did the surgery to save the precious thing which Natasha had left

behind.

Last time no doctor could save his wife and child but he just hoped that he could save Scarlett.

.

.

.

Adam was pacing the corridor in anxiety. He was shaking with fear of something unknown.

He had received a call from his mother. He didn't have any option other than telling her the truth.

She broke down in tears and told him that she was coming there. He wanted to deny her due to the

snowfall but decided against it.

He sat on the seat and closed his eyes and remembered the time when he got to know that he had a

sister.

FLASHBACK (Almost 3 years ago)

He had just started dating a new girl Kelly. He was about to knock on his mother's room but stopped

when he heard her crying.

The door was opened so he peeked inside and saw that his mom had some paper in her hand and she

was caressing it.

He slowly walked inside and saw that it was a picture. An ultrasound picture.

"Who is this mom?" He asked her curiously

She flinched hearing his voice and turned her teary eyes toward him.

She decided to tell him the truth about her life. She told him about Natasha.

FLASHBACK ENDS

From that day he didn't stop his search for her. He had gone through the whole state.

He sighed and opened his eyes and heard Liam's voice "Adam how is she?"

Adam furrowed his eyebrow in confusion when he saw a desperate Liam in front of him.

His eyes were bloodshot and he seemed to be in pain. He stood up and stopped him from moving

further.

"What happened? Why are you running?"

"Adam, how is Natasha? Why aren't you saying something?" He questioned his best friend

Adam sighed and said "She had stopped breathing when I found her. They have taken her to the ICU."

"I am scared. I have just found her and I don't want to lose her. She is my baby sister." He broke down

in front of him.

Liam was shaken up when he got to know that she was found in that condition and that she was

Adam's lost sister.

Adam will kill him when he gets to know that he was the reason behind her misery and her death.

His tears fell making Adam confused. He didn't know why his friend was behaving like this.

"Liam, why are you behaving like this?" He asked him in confusion

Before he could further question him, the door opened and Scott came outside with a dead look in his

eyes.

He had a small child in his hand which was not moving. They had cleaned her up and she was

wrapped in a pink blanket.

When his gaze fell on Liam, his dead look changed into a rage. Everyone could see the fire in his eyes.

"How is my sister?" Adam asked him to break the trance between him and Liam.

Scott looked into his eyes and uttered "Your sister is dead"

He then turned his gaze toward the little child in his arms and continued "and her child too"

"No, you are lying. She is not dead. She can't die. No." He fell on the chair and sobbed

His sister can't die. He had just met her. How could she leave him before meeting him?

It was his fault. He was late. He couldn't save her. He was never there for her.

It was his punishment. He had cheated on Kelly and Karma gave him his punishment.

But what was Natasha's fault? She was innocent in this and her baby too.

Liam on the other hand froze. Natasha was dead. His child died too. They both are dead and it was his

fault.

His hands moved without him noticing and took Scarlett from Scott gently and looked at her.

She was the most beautiful girl he had seen after her mother. Her eyes were closed and her lips were a

color of light blue.

She was pale and cold. She had a tiny nose and small lips. Her cheeks were wrinkly and white.

She was looking so tiny in his hands. But her chest was not moving indicating that she was no more.

He slid down on the wall with her still in his arms. His daughter was dead.

Then comes the tears which never stopped. He cried hard and loud, attracting some attention toward

him.

He held her in his arms and sobbed hard "Please come back. I am sorry please don't leave me too."

He leaned toward her and placed his lips on her cold forehead. He hugged her gently to his chest to

keep her warm.

"I am so sorry, Scarlett. Please come back. Forgive your father, baby. Please." He whimpered

Adam stilled when he heard his best friend's confession. He was Natasha's child's father.

They couldn't be lovers as he was about to marry Linda. And he never mentioned it to him as well.

Maybe Liam's father was forcing him to marry Linda without his wish. That's why that day, Natasha was

looking sad.

He felt bad for Liam too. He had lost his lover and his child too. He cried too for the loss of his sister

whom he had never met.
