Cruel Destiny

Chapter 43: Alt. End. Chapter 31

Third Person POV

After the death of Miranda, Scott was broken. He had isolated himself in his apartment and didn't go

anywhere.

His heart was screaming in agony when he got to know that she was pregnant with his child.

He had lost all his happiness together. He could have saved them if he had decided to go with her.

Losing his wife along with his first child was eating him alive. As a result, he didn't continue his college

that year.

On the other side, Liam was silent. He hadn't spoken a single word to anyone.

His parents along with his friends were worried for him. No one but Linda knew what kind of bitch

Miranda was.

She had seen her with Scott more than twice. According to her, she was cheating on Liam with

someone.

She had been trying to tell him about him but alas he never listened to her.

Had he heard her, he would not be that broken. But his coping method was different from Scott's.

He started to sleep around with every girl not caring about their feelings and what they had wanted

from him.

He had to forget about her. He had done everything he could to forget about her and their child.

But he couldn't and he knew that he never would. At least he could try to take his mind off it.

A year had passed and now Scott again started his study as he wanted to keep himself busy.

A few years later he started to practice. He had got his bachelor's degree in both medicine and

business.

He told his father about his degree in medicine and he didn't expect his father to be that proud of him.

He hugged his father and his father told him to go for his dream job until he was alive.

After that, it's his wish if he wanted to take over the company. His father told him 'Always listen to your

heart.'

But again gloomy days came when his father died when he got 26. He was again heartbroken but not

more than his mother.

God had taken her husband who had given her nothing but happiness. She too wanted to die with him

but god didn't take her.

After his death, Scott decided that he doesn't want to live here. This place had snatched 3 precious

things from him.

His wife, his child, and his father.

He told his decision about his mother and she too decided to move with him. Now there was nothing for

her except her child.

And her child was moving too. They have already had a house in America so everything was

scheduled.

Scott called his father's younger brother and told him to take over the company as he couldn't do that.

It was then his uncle advised him to take some time off and then tell him his decision.

Until then he would handle it. Scott just nodded and said 'When it calls me, I will come."

PRESENT

Kelly was watching him in confusion as he started to call many people. What was he talking about

taking over?

"I want the plane ready within one hour. We are going back home. Call everyone and tell them to

prepare everything." She heard him talking on the phone.

As soon as he cut the call, she asked "Scott, What is this?"

He looked into her red eyes which were filled with concern for Natasha just like him.

"I am taking Natasha back to my country. She isn't safe here. We have to think about her and Scarlett's

safety" he explained softly

Kelly thought about it for a few and agreed as it was the only way they can save Natasha and her

daughter.

"Ok. I am coming with you too." She mumbled

He just nodded and went inside to prepare her for the journey. It would take them 9 hours to reach

there.

He went to check on Scarlett and surprisingly she was fine. He had a team of doctors for Scarlett on

the plane as he could handle Natasha.

Telling his mother was a different thing. He called her and just told her to pack her bags as they were

going back home.

His mother didn't ask him questions because she had noticed the urgency in his voice.

He knew that her mother would be hurt. They had met only 4 months ago but still, her mother always

had considered her to be a part of the family.

She knew about his love for Natasha. It was she who pointed this out for him.

She just wanted both of them to be happy in their life even if not together.

Now they all were standing outside the private plane and waiting for his mother who was stuck in traffic.

Natasha had been shifted to a bed and drips were attached to her body. She still didn't get her

consciousness back.

And it was quite okay as they had given her the anesthesia. Scarlett was lying beside her mother.

It had taken them almost three hours for Scarlett to be out of the incubator.

A team of doctors has been taking care of Scarlett. They had pumped out some milk to feed her with a

bottle.

"Who are you?" Kelly blurted out

Everything was confusing for her. She had thought that he was just an ordinary doctor.

But now after watching all of these, she was overwhelmed. Her mind has not been grasping this.

He chuckled and shrugged "I am Scott."

She rolled her eyes and asked "And"

He raised his hand in peace and said "I am Scott Allen. Son of Steve Allen"

She gasped when she recognized the name of his father. She had met him one time in all her life.

"I know your father. My ex-boyfriend has invested in your company." She sighed

Adam had taken her for a vacation in London. That's where she had met Steve Allen.

"I am taking over that company now. Knights are powerful and to protect both Natasha and Scarlett, I

have to be more powerful than them."

She could hear the anger, sadness, love, and possessiveness in his voice and then something clicked

in her mind.

"You love her" She stated instead of asking.

He just gave her a small smile and said "I do. With all my heart. But she doesn't and I respect it."

Kelly just sighed and said "She has been alone since her childhood. No one was her friend except me.

Liam had shown her his fake love and poor girl fell into his trap."

She took a breath and continued "You deserve her. She will come around, believe me. Just don't give

up on her."

"I won't," he promised.

Before they both could say, his mother came. She was looking panicked when she saw Kelly with

Scott.

Thinking that he might have chosen her instead of Natasha. It wasn't like she didn't like Kelly.

She adored Kelly as much as she did Natasha. But she had those mother instincts to protect the latter

one.

She stood in front of them and blurted out "You both aren't getting married. Right?"

Kelly chuckled loudly and made a face "Sophie he is like my brother."

Her nose was scrunched in revulsion while thinking about it. And about marriage, she wasn't ready for

one after Adam's betrayal

Sophie took a sigh of relief and a smile was back on her face "so what happened?"

"Mom I'll tell you everything but we have to leave," Scott said and they moved inside the plane.

They sat on their seat and waited for the plane to take off. When it was done, Scott got up and went

toward where both mother and daughter were.

He stepped inside the room and was welcomed by the cries of his little goddess.

Her whole face was red and he saw that the nurse was struggling to feed her.

He took some steps toward them and said "Give her to me."

The nurse gave him Scarlett who was still crying. He patted her back and cuddled her to his chest.

Her whimpers were slowly but surely subsidized. She opened her eyes and looked at him with those

big innocent blue eyes.

He was mesmerized when she hypnotized him with her deep blue orbs.

He touched her soft skin and she started to wriggle in his arms and cried again.

He rubbed circles on her back and said "Let me check your Mumma. Then I will feed you, goddess."

She just pouted and closed her eyes even though she wasn't sleepy. He chuckled and went toward

Natasha.

He checked her and everything was fine. Now they just have to wait for her to wake up on her own.

He leaned down to kiss her forehead and said "Wake up soon, Tasha."

He went outside praying to god that she woke up soon and everything will be alright after that.

He took Scarlett outside where his mother and Kelly were talking. His goddess's whimpers altered

them.

Her mother had a face full of emotions. Kelly had filled her quickly with all the necessary information.

Her eyes were glassy with teary when she saw the joy in Scott's eyes. He had wanted this for so long

but god had snatched that opportunity from him years ago.

"Isn't she beautiful, Mom?" He asked his mother.

"She is so gorgeous," Sophie mumbled slowly as she was still staring at her.

"Now let me feed her. Then you can take her." He said and sat on the couch.

He cuddled her to his chest and put the bottle in her mouth. Instantly, she latched on it and sucked it

slowly.

His focus was on her as she was lazily gulping it. He gave her his finger and she gripped it in her weak

fist.

She was underweight just like her mother. It would take both of them some time to gain weight.

He would take care of them and nurture them as long as Natasha wanted.

He wanted to do it for the rest of his life. He would love Natasha always no matter what happens.

If she denied his love, he would stay with them as friends but he won't leave them alone again.

A flash snapped him out of his dreams. He turned his face to the side and saw a mobile in Kelly's hand.

He furrowed his eyebrows at her and she just shrugged and said "I wanna capture all beautiful

moments and have to show it to Naty."

It took them almost 9 hours to reach London. The weather was cold and the sun was nowhere to be

seen.

There were a lot of cars which had come to pick them up. Natasha has been taken directly to his home

by Ambulance.

They all went by car and reached his house quickly. This place was bigger than the entire Knights

enterprises.

The house was built in the 1890s and with time they had refurbished it, making it more intriguing.

"You are loaded dude," Kelly whistled at the sight of the house, making both of them laugh.

"Come on dear. Let me show you your room." Sophie said to Kelly

Kelly nodded and said "Please show me next to Naty's. I want to be close to her."

"Sure dear," Sophie said with a smile

Kelly turned to look at Scott who had Scarlett in his arms and said "Let me take her now."

Scott just sighed and gave his goddess to Kelly even though he wanted nothing more than to keep her.

He has been attached to her the instant Natasha came into his cabin that time for the check-up.

But he had to share her with everyone. He kissed her cheek and gave her to Kelly who almost cried in

joy.

She had always been wanting to carry a child. She had thought that her child would be the one to fulfill

her wish.

But alas, god had taken her baby before she could come into this world.

A prayer left her lips which came from her heart.

'God, please make her destiny different from her mother.'

.

.

.

The house was silent at midnight. The snow had started to fall making the environment colder than

before.

But no one was sleeping. Scott was sitting on a chair in Natasha's room.

He wanted to be here when she wakes up so that if something went wrong, he would be there with her.

Kelly was yawning as she hadn't got any sleep in the past two days. She had Scarlett in her arms for

feed.

'She is just like Naty' she thought in her mind then her face turned into anger 'But she got that bastard's

eyes.'

The sweet girl blinked her eyes at her aunt then yawned and closed it, wanting to sleep. Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

She removed the bottle from her mouth and put it back on the table. She then kissed Scarlett's cheeks

and inhaled her baby smell.

"Your Momma will meet you soon." She whispered in her ear.

.

.

.

Natasha stirred in her sleep. She was having a nightmare where she died along with Scarlett.

Tears were rolling down her eyes and a painful whimper left her lips alerting Scott who was sitting

beside her.

He rushed toward her and said "Easy, Tasha"

He grabbed her hand gently and rubbed circles on it to soothe her. Her whimpers came to end and now

she was silent.

The stillness was only for a few seconds before she opened her eyes with a gasp.

She looked at her surroundings and the first thing she noticed was Scott who was smiling at her.

She blinked her eyes and saw that she was neither at her house nor in the hospital.

She was in a luxurious room but she doesn't know that it belonged to Scott.

She tried to sit up, that's when Scott stopped her and said "Don't sit, Tasha."

She frowned and her eyes went to her stomach where her bump was missing.

"My baby. Oh god, what happened to my Scarlett." She started to weep thinking that her nightmare was

true.

She had lost her baby and now she wanted to die too. Her cries weren't stopping thinking about the

death of her baby.

"Scarlett is here with Kelly. You had given birth to her." Scott's voice pulled her back from her inner

crying.

She stared at him in skepticism like she didn't believe whatever he said. Even though she knew that he

wouldn't lie.

"Really," she asked him softly

"Wait, I'll call her. Let me check your stitches." He said in a professional voice.

She just nodded, waiting for this to be over so that she could meet her daughter.

Her heart was thundering in her chest in prosperity. She was going to meet her daughter after all.

She closed her eyes and remembered what happened before she fell unconscious.

She shivered in fear. She had thought that would be her last time. But thank god Kelly was there.

It didn't take much time to check her. After that, he went out of the room to call Kelly.

Kelly came into the room with joy. Finally, her best friend was awake and now everything would be

alright.

Scott had taken Scarlett in his arms as she was in a hurry. His goddess was sleeping with a pout on

her face.

She was so light just like a feather. She was looking like a white cotton ball in his arms as she was so

tiny.

He waited for some and let them talk in peace. After ten minutes, he went inside and he heard Kelly

talking to Natasha.

"He loves you, Naty. Give him a chance."

It was time to let them know his presence. So he cleared his throat and moved inside.

The content smile on Natasha's face after watching her daughter was so precious that he wanted to

capture it.

He went toward her and placed pillows behind her so that she could sit.

She winced in pain but the joy to meet her daughter had overcome it.

He gently placed the baby on her lap and the tears again started to fall from her eyes but this time in

happiness.

She was scared to touch her daughter afraid that she would hurt her in some way.

She raised her with her shaky arms and kissed her whole face. A sob left her lips when her baby

opened her eyes.

"She is so pure" she whispered

"Just like you Naty," Kelly whispered

Natasha turned her face to Scott and with a worried expression asked "Is she alright? She is a

premature baby. And she is so light"

He chuckled after hearing her questions and said "she is good but a little underweight like you are

Tasha."

She cuddled the baby to her chest and pecked her cheek. Now it was time to ask the questions.

"Where am I? And what happened?" She asked nervously.

Scott sighed and said "You are at my house in London. We aren't in America anymore."

She shook her head and the panic took over her and she said "No you aren't understanding. Liam

would kill me if he gets to know that you are helping me."

A shaky breath left her lips and she continued "He tried to kill me before Kelly came and he was again

getting me raped."

A loud sob echoed in the room but she couldn't stop it. She was scared not for herself but for her

daughter and their future.

"Why didn't you tell me anything, Naty? I thought we were sisters." Kelly asked her sadly

Scott had told her about it. Kelly wanted nothing more than to kill Liam and his father.

Then she shook her head and said "It's okay we will talk about it later. Right now you just rest. I am

here with you."

"You also take some rest, kelly. You need it. I am here with them." Scott told her politely.

She nodded and kissed Natasha's cheek and went back to the room which has been allotted to her.

There was a pin drop silence which was not uncomfortable. It was Natasha who decided to break it.

"Thank you so much for helping me. I am so grateful for what you have been doing for us."

She bit her lips and began "I am sorry for that night too. I didn't have any right to behave like a bitch."

He took a step toward her and sat in front of her. Then he cupped her cheeks and said "stop, Tasha."

She stopped and looked at him with those grey orbs which were drawing him toward her.

She had a pink blush on her cheeks when she saw him looking at her in awe.

"I love you. Always have and always will. I won't give up on us again. Take your time then tell me your

decision. I will respect your decision."

His words did something to her heart. It skipped a beat when she saw the love in his eyes.

She gnawed on her lips and said "Okay"

She would give him one chance so that she won't regret it later. But right now is not the time.

It was her time to heal and put on some weight and take care of her child.

"Now sleep. I am here and no one will trouble you both again."

The last words she heard before she fell into a deep slumber.

.

.

.

Time had passed but this time it has brought only contentment for Natasha and her daughter.

She has been living in Scott's house for six months and she couldn't be happier.

Sophie had taken the role of her mother and she never forgot to feed her five times a day so that she

could gain healthy weight.

Kelly went back to Chicago after staying in London for 3 months. She had her exams as she couldn't

miss them.

She didn't want to leave Natasha alone here. But she knew that they would take care of her.

And most importantly she belonged here with her daughter and with Scott.

Scott had joined the company after making sure that Natasha was alright.

It had taken some time for him to adjust everything according to him but he was glad that his uncle was

there for him.

It was arduous work for him to bring down the Knights Enterprises. They had many connections with

the underworld.

Their business was legal and they had many cops under their pocket. But it's okay he could handle it.

His primary objective was to keep Natasha and Scarlett away from the devil James Knights.

He had heard from his man that Liam had gotten married to his childhood friend Linda.

He scoffed loudly, attracting the attention of Scarlett who was in his arms.

She smiled and started to clap. She thought that he had done it to play with her and she liked it.

It was Sunday and he decided to spend it with his family. For him, both Natasha and his goddess are

his family.

His mother had baked some cookies and now they were sitting outside in the garden.

"Sophie I am stuffed." Natasha pleaded to his mom.

"No, you are not. Eat this I have made it especially for you." Sophie said and fed her with her hands.

"You are amazing. I have never felt loved before." She spoke softly.

"You are different from Miranda. She didn't want to be fed by anyone, not even Scott." Sophie said not

knowing what she had done.

Scott froze in his seat. Why did his mother have to tell her about Miranda? He wanted to be the one to

tell her about it.

"Who is Miranda? I haven't seen her here." She questioned with confusion.

Sophie looked at Scott with furrowed eyebrows and asked "you didn't tell her about her?"

He groaned loudly and said, "Mom I was about to."

"Natasha I'll tell you everything tonight." He told her gently

She nodded her head and said "Okay"

It was night time and Scarlett was sleeping in her after her feed.

She had gained the right amount of weight in these six months and now she was a chubby one.

Scarlett wasn't the only one. Natasha had got her original figure back but now she has better curves

than before.

A knock on the door pulled her out of her thoughts and she said loudly "please come"

Scott entered the room and she gave him a smile filled with shyness. She has always been like that

with him.

But now it had gotten worse as she knew that he loved her. Did she deserve his pure love?

That's what she has always been thinking. According to her, no one would love her, especially not him.

Because he knew that she had got raped.

It was not her fault but somewhere in her mind, she believed that it was her who had provoked him

somehow.

But now she wanted to be loved. If he really loves her then she would give him a chance to prove it.

Scott was really nervous as he didn't know what her reaction would be.

He licked his dry lips and sat in front of her on the bed. He took a deep breath and without wasting any

moment, he started.

He had told her everything from their childhood to his wife's death. He again got sad when he

remembered his wife.

But now the sadness didn't break his heart like before. After meeting Natasha, he barely remembered

her and that was enough to make him guilty.

"............... then I met you and you know the rest." He finished with a sigh.

He didn't lift his head to gaze at her. He was scared that she would be angry with him as he didn't tell

her about it earlier.

Natasha was in a dilemma. The decision to not give him a chance was getting elevated.

Thinking that he might be using her as a rebound. Or he had been finding his dead wife inside her.

But a rational part of her was telling her that he would never do something like that.

She grabbed his hand and he got startled as this was the first time she had touched him freely.

She bit her lips and said, "do you still love your wife?"

"I will always love her as she was my best friend first. But now I am only in love with you. No one else."

He whispered.

She licked her dry lips and said "I am ready to give you the chance."

He blinked his eyes thrice before he could finally comprehend what she had just said.

His eyes glittered with tears and happiness and he said "You made me so happy, Tasha. I promise I

won't let you regret your decision."

"I hope you won't." She mumbled timidly

He embraced her tightly and she sighed in content. She was ready to let go of her inner demons.

She will start her new life where there is no despair.
