Nia saw Natasha in the dining area. She clutched her wine glass and approached her. But she stopped in her tracks when she saw Easton handing her a bowl of fruit salad.The smile on Easton’s face and his caring expression spiked her anger. She couldn’t figure out what kind of spell Natasha had cast on Easton that he couldn’t stay away from her.How could Natasha take control over him in just a few days?She gripped the glass even tighter, her teeth clenching together. She had no choice but to swallow her rage and walk away.Natasha looked at the fruit bowl in her hand and then glanced at the goblet of chocolate mousse, her mouth watered. She wanted to pick that one, but Easton stopped her.Easton smiled, looking at her helpless look. "I know you want that. But you can’t eat it. You have a little fat around your tummy. You need to get rid of it. For that, you have to cut sweets and do exercise. I will appoint a fitness trainer for you.""Fat…" She looked down at herself and instinctive
Easton wanted to go and check on Natasha when he saw her dress getting ruined. However, Mr. Lee didn’t allow him to leave. He kept asking this and that question. He also expressed his desire to talk about a movie script he had with him.Easton had to continue the conversation as it was a huge opportunity for his career. But he was impatient to go find Natasha. After conversing with him for a few minutes, he came up with an excuse to escape.As he proceeded towards the restroom, he saw Nia talking on the phone. Looking at her delightful expression, he became angry.What a vicious woman she was. Instead of helping her cousin, she was chatting with someone happily.He suspected that Nia deliberately splashed the wine on Natasha. His face darkened at the thought. He walked over to her with dangerous momentum."You are having fun here after troubling your cousin. Are you this shameless?"Nia immediately ended the call. She shuddered at the sight of his murderous expression. She assumed he
"Natasha…" Easton cried out, pulling his hair. He was worried, thinking something awful had happened to her.The worry soon turned into rage when he saw Sean approaching him.Sean had a smirk on his lips as if he had triumphed over him. He was curious how Easton would react when he found out Natasha was with him."Why are you yelling?" he asked, standing arrogantly in front of him, his hands in his pockets. "Have you forgotten that this is a banquet hall and a party is going on? This is not a film set.""I can do whatever I want. I don’t need your permission." Easton walked past him and called out, "Natasha.""She is changing."Easton paused and looked back at him with a scowl.Sean also turned to him. He was satisfied at the sight of his unsettled look. "You heard me right. She was with me all the time. I wanted her to give the dress I had purchased earlier this day.""What?" Easton exclaimed, taken aback.He was the one who selected the dress for her. He had been buying it. Sean did
"Easton, I have been looking for a moment to talk to you." A man of Easton’s age approached him. The bright smile he was flashing indicated that he was quite close to Easton."Paul." Easton grinned and hugged him. "Glad to see you here." He glanced at Natasha and said, "She is Natasha.""Hello, Natasha. It is a pleasure to meet you." Paul stretched his hand to her."The pleasure is mine." She took his hand, her grip firm."You are beautiful. I’d like to work with you." Paul gave her a reassuring smile."Thank you." Natasha was excited, yet, she acted modestly.Paul drew his hand back and turned his focus to Easton. "Can I have a moment with you?""I am all yours." Easton leaned toward Natasha and murmured, "Stay here. Don’t disappear on me. I will be back soon."Natasha nodded, assuring him.Easton walked away with Paul. Natasha was left alone amidst the crowd.She didn't want to get into any more trouble this evening. She took a look around and moved to a less crowded area. There she
The brightness of the room disturbed Natasha’s sleep. It was so bright that it appeared like the roof had split open, and the sun was shining down on her.She creased her brow and squeezed her eyes, feeling discomfort. She wanted to sleep some more, but the bright light was not allowing her to do so."Mm…" She rolled to the other side and covered her head with the pillow.It didn’t work either. The room felt hot as if the air conditioning was not working.She was sweating. It prompted her to push the pillow away and open her eyes.The heavy brown curtains were pushed aside, letting the sunlight in through the glass wall. Natasha squinted as she looked around her. The room seemed familiar, and yet again, not so familiar.‘Where am I?’It didn’t take long for her to realize that she was in Sean’s house. To her surprise, she found herself in pink silk pajamas, which unexpectedly fitted her.Again…‘He forced me here again!’She puffed in anger and rolled out of bed, intending to chastise
Sean left the room after sharing passionate moments with her, allowing her to rest for a while.Natasha lay on her side, covering her naked form with a blanket, ashamed and frustrated. She was surprised as she found herself longing for him. Her body reacted instinctively to his touch and kiss as if it had been craving him for ages. Her aching back and soreness down there were reminders of the wild moments a few minutes ago.She accused him of being shameless. In the end, she also turned out to be the one."Um…" She buried her face in the pillow.Amber, on the other hand, visited the infertility clinic where she was receiving treatment. She bit her nails as she impatiently waited for the results of the test.She was taken aback when she discovered two dark red lines on the pregnancy test stick early this morning. She couldn't believe what she was seeing. She assumed the pregnancy test kit had produced an incorrect result. So, she came here to confirm it.Her hands were shaking due to n
Natasha took a step back, increasing the gap between them. She was uneasy in the face of her hostile demeanor. She was naive to believe Caroline, who had nothing but loathing in her mind, was here to look after Jack.The fact that she wanted to pay for Nia's treatment surprised her. It made her wonder what had happened to her cousin.She had seen her fit and fine the night before at the party. What had transpired overnight that required her to rush to the hospital? Was she also drugged?'Parties have been becoming increasingly dangerous lately. I should be careful next time.'Natasha shook her head. She didn’t want to waste time thinking about trivial matters or arguing with Caroline. She walked past her towards the general ward."Where are you going?" Caroline tugged at her arm and pulled her back. "Are you deaf? I asked you to pay." She glared at her, baring her teeth.Natasha glared back at her, squaring her shoulders and rising to her full height. "I won’t pay," she said, her voic
Natasha hurried into the general ward and found Jack lying on a sickbed, the middle-aged principal sitting on the stool beside him.Jack stretched a grin from ear to ear as he spotted his mother. He had been upset with her since last night and pretended to be sick. He knew his mother would rush to him."Mommy," he squealed and sat up.The principal also peeled his eyes off his phone and looked in the direction where Jack was looking. He got to his feet and said courteously, "Hello, Miss Moore.""Hello, Sir. Thank you so much for bringing him here." Natasha's gaze was full of gratitude and guilt. "And I apologize for not being able to attend your calls. I accidentally broke my phone.""No problem." The principal smiled, his tone as forgiving as his gentle gaze. "The doctor has already checked him. There are only some minor issues. He suggested keeping him here for a few hours for observation.""Oh…" She secretly exhaled a sigh of relief and looked at Jack with pained eyes, mouthing, ‘s
