Chapter 548

She didn’t hide it from Hamilton. He waited, seething, until a paternity test was possible, then dragged her to get one the first chance he got.
The baby wasn’t his.
He wanted to kill her all over again, but this time, she was afraid. Her life wasn’t just her own anymore; it belonged to her child. She wanted to have this baby.
Hamilton demanded she get an abortion. She agreed to his face, but then went and deliberately provoked Maria.
Unable to stand the drama, Maria told Hamilton to divorce Natalie.
For Maria’s sake, he actually agreed.
The moment the divorce papers were in her hand, she fled with Penelope.
“I can let you two go, on one condition: tell me who the man you slept with was!”
Hamilton’s angry voice pulled Natalie from her memories.
Though Hamilton had caught her in bed with another man, the man had covered his face and escaped before Hamilton could catch him.
He would never forgive the woman who had cheated on him, and he would certainly never forgive the man who had slept with his wife.
Natalie was silent for a moment. “I honestly don’t know who he was. I can’t even remember what he looked like.”
“You’re still protecting him, you bitch!”
“I told you, I was drunk at a bar that night. I just grabbed a random guy
“Natalie!”
“You can ask me a hundred times, and the answer will be the same.”
“Natalie, you’ve got some nerve! No one has ever played me for a fool like this. You’re the goddamn first!”
Natalie knew Hamilton was unhinged and capable of anything. She didn’t want to provoke him, but this was the only way she could ever be free of him.
Her answer sent him into a rage. He slammed his foot on the accelerator, and the car shot onto the elevated highway. The road was crowded, but he wrenched the steering wheel left and right, weaving through traffic like a madman.
Natalie was terrified. She clutched her daughter, trying to brace herself, but her head still slammed against the window.
“Hamilton, don’t-ah!”
She screamed as he swerved violently, nearly scraping the guardrail to overtake another car.
But he was doing it on purpose. He didn’t slow down; he went faster.
“Mommy! I’m scared!”
Kristin shrieked, her arms wrapped tightly around Natalie’s waist.
All Natalie could do was hold her daughter and beg Hamilton to calm down.
“I’m not afraid of dying, so what the hell are you two afraid of!”
“You’re scaring my daughter!”
“That bastard child of yours? I’ve wanted to kill her for a long time!”
“Hamilton!”
“I thought you were so brave! What are you scared of now? All these furious. Maybe t
years and I’m still a
should just say screw it and drag
you both to hell with me!”
“No! I don’t want to! We have a good life now, we don’t want to die!” Natalie pleaded
over and over.
“You have a good life, but I don’t!”
“Hamilton, please, let us go!”
“See that concrete pillar up ahead? We’re about to fly right into it! Ha, exciting, isn’t
it?”
“No, no!”
Kristin was so scared she couldn’t
even cry anymore. Her eyes were et
wide and vacant her whole body
content belongs to.

As the pillar loomed closer, Natalie
forced
her
erself to calm down. Once
I was clear, she quicklet
dialed Penelope,
On the other end, Penelope, having heard what happened from Hubert, was just about to call Natalie.
When she heard Natalie’s desperate plea for help, her mind raced, and an idea clicked into place.
She ran up to Theodore. “You-you need to call Hamilton right now! Tell him to stop the car!”
Theodore frowned. “Are you ordering me around?”
“Cut the crap and just call him!”
