Chapter 2
Click
The familiar sound of clicking high heels reverberated in the roen, accompanied by the pungent scent of perfume
It was Yvette Maddox, the woman who had not only taken Natalieâs retina but was also the love of Calvinâs life.
Natalie frowned in contempt, and before she could even consider calling for help, Yvette spoke up.
âDonât bother calling for help. Eve sent everyone away. The latterâs voice dripped with stugress.
Natalieâs response lacked any semblance of politeness, âWhy are you here?â
âThave nothing left to give. What more could she possibly want from me?â she pondered
Yvette remained unfazed by Natalieâs attitude, smiling as she replied in a lively tone. âOf course, Iâm here to deliver some good news and bad news.â
Natalie said nothing
âYouâre pregnant.â
âPregnant thought Natalie in horror.
In a trice, her face turned ashen.
Seeing that, Yvette grinned even more satisfactorily. âNeedless to say, Calvin has no plans to keep your baby, for Iâm pregnant too!â
âYvette is pregnant too?â Natalie mused
Her pupils constricted, and her calm facade crumbled,
âHow could Calvin do this?â she thought..
Her already pale face grew even whiter, and her b*dy that was seated in the wheelchair trembled violently
She clenched her fists in a death grip as she held back her rage, cognizant that Yvette was here to flaunt. As Natalie was already in a wretched state, she refused to lose her last shred of dignity.
Despite her trembling, she took a deep breath and did her best to remain composed. âIs that so? Iâve asked him for a divorce, but he hasnât agreed.â
The woman standing not far away stiffened upon hearing that.
Natalie could clearly sense Yvetteâs disconfort
The corner of the formerâs l*ps quirked up. âSo what if you have my retina and are pregnant? It seems like he isnât willing to give you the position of Mrs Jeffordsâ
Natalie was not saying this out of love for Calvin but rather to put an end to Yvetteâs continued humiliation of her
Although she had decided to end things with Calvin in the face of this woman who came to provoke her she remaned
âHa! Youâre just rambling so much to prove he loves you hul? But ask yourself this. Natalie. If he truly loves you, why would
he imast on giving
Yvetteâs eyes were relieved of lanternes, and hea voit tiger

Chapter 2
Yvetteâs laughter pierced Natalieâs heart, shattering the latterâs pretenses entirely.
VE
Undoubtedly, these words dealt Natalie a heavy blow, as what Yvette said was true
Natalie thought bitterly. If Calvin truly loved me, I wouldnât be in my current predicament
Our decade-long relationship ended in such a cruel way.
It was unknown when Yvette left, but Natalie continued sitting there for a long time.

Thick smoke soon enveloped her, choking her to the point where tears welled up in her eyes. Panic and fear crossed her small face when realization datened on her,
She started to move her wheelchair toward the door.
However, wherever she went, the sounds of objects crashing and falling surrounded her, and after numerous consecutive tumbles, she eventually lost all sense of direction.
Cough!
Natalieâs vacant eyes widened with helplessness as she sat on the ground and gripped her sore throat that burned from the
thick sincke
Terror was written all over her pallid face.
Alas, at this juncture, a particularly car-piercing voice resounded from ourside the door.
âHow could Mr. Jeffords do such a thing and try to burn Mrs. Jeffords alive? Quick, letâs call the fire department
âShut up. Just pretend we didnât see anythingâ
Those words sent a chilling shock through Natale
âCalvinâs the one who wants me dead?â she ruminated.
Despair wholly consumed her, extinguishing her resolve to escape. âSo be it, then Death will perlsaps be a relief for me, she reflected.
The smoke grew increasingly thicker, and Natalieâs breathing became even more labored. Not a single tear had fallen when she discovered the news of her husband having an affair with his secretary, nor had she cried when the fear of darkness overwhelmed her after she woke up blind in the hospital.
Yet now, tears ran down her cheeks as she learned of Yvetteâs pregnancy and Calvinâs willingness to burn her and their unborn child alive despite their decade-long relationship.
The waves of scalding fire advanced toward her, searching every inch of her skin. âAhh Natalieâs desperate, ghastly sereams of any echoed throughout the mansion.
As the roaring flames engulfed Natalie, her only wish was to turn back time and erase Cams from her world.
