Chapter 534: 534

534 Run Away Together

Her mother didn’t question her whereabouts as usual. The fact that her mother was easily fooled wasn’t surprising to her, moreover, Natalie is an outdoor person and Daniel must have taken advantage of that excuse. As if that wasn’t enough, her mother and Daniel were literally best friends and she was confident that he was taking care of her daughter. Yeah, he was taking care of her very well – if only she knew.

It was kind of pathetic but Natalie broke up with Edward through a text message. It was for the best because it seems that she just made a huge mistake. Natale shouldn’t have told Daniel to do whatever she wanted, that had been said on a whim because she was tired of him bothering her. Sadly, Daniel was doing exactly whatever he wanted, and right now, he was posing as her boyfriend.

When did he officially ask her out? She had no idea, but that was the situation she found herself in. Hence, one could imagine what would happen if Daniel finds out that she has a boyfriend, well, ex-boyfriend. He would kill Edward out of jealousy and Natalie was not ready to attend his funeral.

However, Natalie must have some affinity with bad luck, because one day she got a call downstairs from her mother and according to her, a friend was there to see her.

Natalie came downstairs in a hurry to see the so-called friend and wasn’t prepared for the shock that grabbed her when she saw Edward in her house, in flesh and blood. Oh God, no, all blood drained from her face. At this rate, she would die from a heart attack.

She stood at that spot, her feet rooted to the ground as she tried to comprehend what was going on. Edward was here to see her? In her house overflowing with Daniel’s men? Natalie was about to have a panic attack. Why isn’t anyone listening to her nowadays? She told him strictly not to visit her!

Natalie looked around in panic wondering whether Daniel’s men were staring at them, but they seemed to be going about their business and Edward was smart enough not to initiate physical contact with her. Now she looked at Edward, he wasn’t his usual bubbly self, acting cautiously as if he knew what was going on. Natalie blanched as she made the connection, Penelope told him.

“Follow me, let’s talk in my room.” Natalie tried not to draw too much attention as they headed upstairs and as soon as they were inside, she locked the door with lightning speed and then whirled around on Edward.

“ARE YOU FUCKING OUT OF YOUR MIND!” She whisper-yelled at him in case someone was eavesdropping on their discussion – she wouldn’t be surprised by that since Daniel was literally the ruler of her place now. However, Edward simply pulled her into his arms, stunning her.

.....

He must be out of his mind, Natalie thought, yet she didn’t pull out of his hug. Strange enough, she was relieved that Edward knew what was going on and that she didn’t break up with him on a whim. Still, she feared for his life, Daniel was unstable and a threat to him.

She didn’t want anything happening to Edward, yet instead of pushing him away, Natalie greedily embraced him because this was the first time in so many days that she could finally breathe. She was a bad person, really.

By the time they pulled away, she began the interrogation, “What the hell are you doing here?! You must have no regard for your life!” She kept her voice on the low.

“Penelope told me everything,”

Just as she thought.

“We need to get out of here?”

“We?” She corrected him, “No, you need to get out of here before the news gets to him,” Natalie told him, wishing that he would just listen to her for once!

“We can run away together.” Edward suggested, “I don’t fucking care, where. All you have to do is pick a place and we would go there without looking back,”

“And you would ruin your future for me?” Natalie smiled bitterly, shaking her head in refusal, “No, that is not happening. I won’t be the reason for that because I will never forgive myself.”

“No, I love you, Natalie, I don’t care about the so-called future. Moreover, I have enough money that I would never get poor if that’s what you’re worried about,” He assured her.

However, Natalie still wasn’t convinced and wouldn’t look him in the eyes in case her heart betrayed her and she ended up running away with Edward. It was a terrible idea. A very terrible one.

“Have you seen the look in his eyes?” She referred to Daniel’s eyes. But of course, there was no way Edward could have seen such up close else he would be dead already.

She went on, “He has this glint in his eyes whenever I’m around. His eyes lit up like the stars in the sky whenever I come around as if I’m the only good thing that has ever happened to him. What do you think he would do when you take me away?” Natalie asked him and when he didn’t come up with an answer immediately, she continued.

“This is my battle, Edward. You can’t step in else you might end up being collateral damage and I don’t want that to happen to you,” Natalie told him sincerely.

“I don’t care, Natalie. This...” He gestured with his hands, “Whatever you’re in with him, it’s not normal and I’ll do anything in my power to get you out of it and I don’t care even if it costs me my life. I just want you to live a happy life, Natalie,” He told her, tears slipping down her eyes which he cleared away, baring her heart to him.

“Oh, Edward...” Natalie couldn’t stop the tears from falling. However, she shouldn’t have let down her guards because that was the moment the knock came on the door and she knew the harbinger of death has come for them.
