Chapter 466 by Marina Vittori
An Understated Dominance
The Harmons couldnât help but shudder when Tylerâs gaze swept over them. An uncontrollable fear seemed to come over them. Though he spoke calmly without any emotions, his gaze alone was enough to instill fear in them. For a moment, they felt like they were all prey to a monstrous beast.
âDo not be mistaken, Tyler. She doesnât mean that.â As Hector said that, he shot Nataha a glare. âStop
messing around. Go back to your room right this instant!â
âNatasha, this marriage alliance is an arrangement between two families! This isnât childâs play! You mustnât act recklessly!â Frightened, Jessica stepped forward to warn Natasha. It was one thing for her to speak. impulsively in front of Jayla. But now that Tyler was here, things would get out of hand if she still insisted on saying such things.
âIâm not messing around, nor am I acting recklessly.â Natasha stood her ground. âI know youâre an exceptional person, Tyler, but matters of the heart cannot be forced. Nothing good will come of this. I hope that you can cancel the arrangement.â The Harmons were in no position to annul the marriage arrangement, but the same could not be said for the Grants.
âYou want me to cancel the marriage arrangement? And why should I do that?â Tyler asked, aloof.
âAs I said, weâre not compatible. It will not bring us any good if we get married just for the sake of getting married,â Natasha said with certainty.
âI donât care.â Tyler took another sip of his tea before he continued indifferently, âSince we had an arrangement, then youâre going to follow through with it, or youâre going back on your words.â
âCan you please be reasonable?* Natasha frowned. âI already have someone that I like. You and I, itâs not going to work out for us!â
âOh? And who is that person that you like?â Tyler demanded.
âItâs him!â Natasha dragged Dustin out from behind her.
âYou?â Jaylaâs brows furrowed when she had a good look at Dustin. She never expected to bump into that annoying person here.
âWhat? Do you know hirn?â Tyler shot Jayla a sideâlong glance.
âTyler, heâs the one who fought with me over the flower of Crimson Gem!â Jayla hissed.
âOh.â Tyler wasnât too fazed.
âDo you see now, Tyler? This is the man I like. We have mutual feelings for each other, so I hope youâll give us your blessings,â Natasha said.
âMutual feelings? Tyler chuckled menacingly. âYouâre mine, Natasha. Nobody can take you away from me. If you refuse to marry me, Iâll kill him. You get me?â His words were straight to the point, and he did not even bother to mask his threats.
âHow dare you!â Natasha was furious.

âThereâs nothing much I darenât do,â Tyler stated matterâofâfactly.
âTyler, if itâs an alliance with the Harmons that youâre after, you have a myriad of other options! Why are you so intent on marrying me when there are so many other eligible young ladies in the Harmon family?â Natasha drew a deep breath and announced gravely, âSince this is what things have come to. Iâll come clean. I am no longer a virgin. I have slept with Dustin.â
âWhat? You ve slept with him?â Chaos broke out when they heard what Natasha said. The Harmons all stared at her wideâeyed in disbelief. The Grants, on the other hand, were equal parts horrified and infuriated.
âNatasha! What nonsense are you spouting? Are you out of your mind?â Jessica was so shocked she broke out in cold sweat. It was a disgrace to the Harmonsâ reputation for Natasha to lose her virginity before marriage. Besides, it was also blatant humiliation toward the Grants.
âYou wretched girl! What nerves youâve got!â Hector was beside himself with fury. The Harmons had strict rules, especially toward their daughters, who were expected to preserve their innocence until the day they were married.
