Chapter 587

“You think you can tell me what to do? Who the hell do you think you are?”
Marico was the ultimate degenerate—no morals, no humanity, no ethics. He’d cross anyone, fear no one. If things got ugly, he’d pull a knife or a gun, and whoever died was just unlucky.
Hamilton was a scoundrel, but compared to Marico, he was practically a saint.
After his outburst, Marico stuck his hands in his pockets and sauntered over to Natalie and her daughter.
“I saved her for you. How are you going to repay me?”
Natalie had managed to sit up, but her heart was still pounding. She hugged her daughter tightly to calm herself, then looked up at Marico. After a moment, she asked, “How do you want me to repay you?”
Marico knelt on one knee, his eyes still devouring Natalie’s face.
“Originally, I wanted to sleep with you.”
Natalie’s expression hardened. “I won’t agree to that.”
“You said just now that if I saved your daughter, you’d do anything I asked.”
Natalie remembered her words. “Anything but that.”
Marico’s eyes narrowed. “I also said ‘originally.’ I don’t want to anymore.”
He glanced back at Hamilton. “You’re his woman, right? I hate him, and I hate women he’s slept with. I can’t stand the reek of his leftovers.”
Marico had a way of speaking that made you want to punch him.
Natalie felt it too, but she couldn’t move.
“Take me to the hospital first.”
Marico laughed. “You really are crazy. You won’t let your man take you, but you’re
asking me? What are we to each other that you can be so demanding?”
“I’ll tell you later,” Natalie said, gritting her teeth against the pain.
“Tell me what?”
“I’ll tell you what our relationship is.”
“Are you playing me for a fool?”
Natalie pressed her lips together. She didn’t want to beg Marico, but she could see Hamilton approaching. She’d sooner ask a dog for help than him, so she kept her eyes fixed on Marico.
“You have a mole on your ass.”
Marico raised an eyebrow. “You think making up some random
“It’s red. Shaped like a flame.”
That wiped the smirk off Marico’s face. “How do you know that?”
“Take me to the hospital first.”
“Tell me first!”
Hamilton had reached them. He glanced at Natalie’s leg, then at the child in her arms, and a flicker of remorse crossed his angry face.
“I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Natalie ignored him, her gaze still locked on Marico.
“If you want to know, take me to the hospital first!”
Marico wasn’t used to being backed into a corner, and he pursed his lips in annoyance.
“You’re the one in pain, not me. And I’ve got all day.”
“Natalie!” Hamilton said, his frustration growing. “It was my grandfather who had your daughter brought here. He wanted me to do a paternity test with her I agreed but was planting to send her back after the party. I told the bodyguards to watch her, but she ran off, so
“So it’s not your fault!” Natalie glared at Hamilton. “That’s what you think, isn’t it?”
“I said I’ll take you to the hospital. You should take the offer while you can.”
“I don’t need it,” Natalie sneered. “I will get you back for this. I’ll make you and Maria pay!”
“Natalie, don’t be so full of yourself!”
“You’re the one who’s full of himself!”
Just as Natalie finished speaking, she was swept up into someone’s arms. It was Marico.
“You
“I’ve decided to do a good deed today.”
He lifted Natalie effortlessly and
tapped Kristin on the forehead, signaling for her to follow. Andğust
like that he walked away, right under Hamilton’s furious gaze.
“Natalie, I’m giving you one chance! Tell him to put you down!” Hamilton roared from behind.
Natalie just stared back at him, her eyes cold and devoid of any warmth.
“Natalie!”
Hamilton couldn’t believe she would dare to leave with another man right in front of him. He furiously kicked over everything in his path, but as the rooftop door swung shut, it felt as if he and Natalie were now in different worlds.
