Natasha was sitting in her room of her penthouse looking at her phone as if she was expecting a call.
She had sent her secretary Nancy home after she drove her here to her house. She didn't not want to break down in front of her,keeping her cool , but she knew Nancy had left her today and wouldn't relent in checking up on her tomorrow.
Growing up without her mom had made her into a hard nut that was hard to break, as her dad who had always been busy at work rary had her time.
She had acted as a spoiled brat,who literally caused problems for her dad so as to get his attention but as usual a dad's love could not be compared to that of a mother's.
Dialing Keith's number for like the fifteenth time with no response had made her really frustrated and angry at that moment because she desperately needed someone to talk to.
She had been expecting his calls,because he would have seen the news on the internet by now,she was the number one topic in the search list in Sherbrooke city.
She really needed his warm hug right now,she needed someone to assure her that everything was going to be fine.
His warm embrace and cool sweet nothings he always whispered in her ears before turking her to bed would have aided her broken state right now.
After much deliberation within herself,she took her car keys with tears dripping down her eyes,she walked to her car heading for Keith's house,her tears running nonstop.
Surprisingly,when she stopped in front of the gate,she found out that there were no guards at the entrance.
Unlike Keith,he had huge, scary looking guards with tattoos all over their bodies. They were always standing at the entrance of the house with their pistols.
She remembered asking Keith the reason for all these protection cautions and he simply replied in short words that he had enemies,at first she was suspicious of him thinking he was some undercover spy or some hardened criminal but after much thought she waved the idea aside.
Well,considering his line of business,this top notch security was needed,his company was an exchange company that deals on money exchange and blah blah.
She walked into his sitting room to find it silent but the sounds coming from his sound indicated that he was at home.
"Babe"she called in a loud voice as she strode towards his room,she stopped in her tracks when she saw a pair of female shoes outside of his door.
Then she heard the rift of laughter with Keith's voice which showed happiness with the way they were laughing.
"Take a deep breath Tasha it's not what you think"Natasha assured herself but her anger got the best of her when she heard the second rows of laughter.
She pushed the door open to find Keith with a woman who had her back turned to her so she was not able to figure out who she was.
"Ta..Sha"Keith's voice trembled when he noticed her presence pushing the lady off his body as she hit the floor, not without making a sound of pain with the way she was pushed.
Natasha didn't know what to feel at that moment,was this the reason he was not picking up her calls?
He has been cheating behind her back for some woman.
"We need to talk Tasha"Keith said, coming closer to her but she took the flower vase nearby and threw it at him,and this time her aim was correct,the flower vase hitting his forehead and leaving a cut before aiming for the floors.
"Look,what we got here,Natasha White"The lady who was in the embrace of Keith turned her face looking directly at her step sister.
"Kassidy"Natasha said, disbelief written over her face,it was Kassidy all along.
Wow,Kassidy you are such a sly fox!
She looked at Keith who had his face bowed down in shame,Tasha scoffed at her stupidity,she should have known the constant times he had excused himself to take a call has been to call Kassidy and not his so-called client as he claims.
"Yes sister,are you surprised?''Kassidy asked Tasha, who folded her palms. She noticed she was holding herself from bursting in front of them.
"How long has this been going on!?"
"we can talk things through Tash"Keith told her calling her pet name which he gave her,thinking it was going to help cool her temper"
"I said for how longgg!?"
"As long as you could imagine,do you think i would stand back and watch you take over the company and also take my love from me,you need to wake up sis,"Kassidy interrupted their discussion,deciding to break the news to her since Keith was still in short of words to explain it to her.
"I trusted you Keith,in the end you were just the same as them"
"How was last night by the way,I bet you are still sore"Kassidy asked pointing at her v card.She had always hated her for all reasons,she had the best dad who gave her everything,she was loved by everyone making her seem rejected.
"It was you,you drugged me Kassidy,you bitch!"Natasha said as she walked up to slap Kassidy but Keith held her hands stopping her midway.
"You see,my baby has been trying to break up with you,but i could not stand and see
you act all lovey dovey over my man,so i decided to do things my way, boom! I had him drugged your drinks,isn't that amazing?"Kassidy mocked her,laughing at her broken state,she was looking at Keith if looks could kill,Keith would have being a goner by now.
"You are going to regret doing this Keith,i.. promise you!''Natasha declared with blood shot eyes,she lost her virginity to a random stranger because of him and his crazy girlfriend and to make the matter worst,he was blaming her for it.
She remembered how he degraded her a slut when he was the one who was the master planner behind the happenings last night.
"Just admit it Natasha,you lose i win"Kassidy said gleefully clapping her hands as Keith left the two alone.
"You and your mom made a huge mistake coming into my life,and i promise you guys i will bring hell straight to you guys,mark my words!"Natasha said lastly turning her back leaving her step sister and her loser boyfriend but not before hearing the last words from her.
"I can't wait to see your comeback loser!"
~~~
Parking by the famous magog river which was one of the famous rivers in Sherbrooke,Natasha stood by the Riverside with tears Freely cascading down her pale skin.
She missed her dad,he was the one who would have consoled her right now,he would have helped in healing her weeping heart.
Coming back from Australia,with the news that her dad was seriously ill,was something she did not see coming soon,after a few weeks of her arrival back in Canada,he passed away.
She didn't know much about her mom other than the fact that she died while giving birth to her,she's just bad luck!
Her mom died while giving birth to her,cursed to live with a cruel step mom and sis who made her life a living hell,now she has nothing left at all.
No father,no company and no boyfriend.
"Father,I'm hurting!"she broke down in tears ,squatting down and hitting her chest as if she had breathing inefficiency.
She was a strong lady who was hardly broken,but after what she passed through today,no strong lady would be able to endure.
Skyler and Kassidy really got her this time.
Looking at the river,she felt drawn to it's peaceful nature,jealous of the fact it flowed without any obstacle,while her life was filled with ups and downs.
But she can end all these.
She stood up, deciding to free herself from this burden which was killing her,she chose to be free like the magog river.
Just as she was about to take a step into the river,she heard the dangerous voice of a man who stopped her previous actions
"I wouldn't do that if i were you,my love."
