"Natasha Harmon, you are shameless! Absolutely vile!" Jayla was so angry
she slammed her hands on the table and jumped up from her seat. With her
brother's status and prestige, he was never going to marry a woman who ha
d slept with someone else.
"Are you trying to provoke me?" Tyler's brow knitted together ever so sli
ghtly. A brief second later, he regained his composure and put on a facad
e of indifference. "I do not mind that you've lost your virginity."
"What?" Once again, everyone was shocked by what they heard, especially t
he Grants. It was like they did not
even know Tyler anymore.
"You do not mind that I'm no longer a
virgin? Well, what if I told you that I'm with child?" Natasha tossed him
another shocker. "Truth be told, I'm pregnant. I'm carrying Dustin's chil
d!"
The moment she said that, a commotion came over the room.
"Oh, you wretched child! How terrible!"
"Oh, Natasha! You've
brought disgrace upon the entire Harmon family!"
"How can you agree to a marriage alliance when you're already pregnant wi
th a brat? How utterly shameless!"
From the Harmons to the Grants, everyone was admonishing and chastising N
atasha for what she had done. Some of her close relatives were so furious
that they didn't even know what to say.
Even Dustin himself was surprised to hear that. Was this the trump card t
hat Natasha claimed to have? Wasn't it too much? It didn't seem like the
best idea out there. She had totally destroyed her reputation just to get
out of the marriage arrangement. He had to admit that he was impressed b
y this trick she pulled, but he couldn't help feeling bad for her. He cou
ld already imagine the mean words and criticism that would be thrown
her way from now on.
"Natasha Harmon! I've shown you enough patience and tolerance, but this i
s too much! You're pushing my boundaries!" Tyler slowly stood up with a d
ark expression. No matter how composed he usually was, he could
no longer stay calm now.
*The blame is on me, and for that, I am sorry. If you need any form of co
mpensation, just let me know."
Natasha said.
"Compensation?" Tyler scoffed. "Do you think you're being smart by pullin
g something like this? That everything will go your way because of what y
ou said?"
"What do you mean?" Uneasiness crept up over Natasha.
"If there's one thing I hate the most, Natasha, it's being lied to. You b
etter
pray that I don't ever find out that your pregnancy is a sham or who know
s what I'll do to you. Also, you won't be getting what you wished for. I
will not call off the marriage. I stand by what I said. You're mine, and
nobody's ever going to change that. It doesn't matter whether or not you'
re pregnant, and it doesn't matter if you're dead or alive. What's mine w
ill stay with me forever! I will be back for you in 10 days, and if you H
armons insist on rejecting the marriage. arrangement, I'll take it that y
ou choose to be enemies of the Grant
family. As for what will come of that, I'm sure you're more than aware. W
ith that, Tyler turned and left, but his words left Natasha in a state of
stupor,
She did not expect Tyler to be so persistent even when things had turned
out the way they had.
"Count yourself lucky that my brother is still willing to accept you, Nat
asha! But I have you know, people like you will never have an easy time i
n the Grant household!" Jayla followed in Tyler's footsteps after she his
sed
meanly.
"Oh, Natasha! What's gotten into you?" Jessica was so upset that she was
just short of pulling her hair out." You've just managed to ruin what was
supposed to be a perfect marriage! It was foolish of you to pull somethi
ng so absurd!"
"Natasha, Tyler isn't an average person. You'll never fool him with your
pregnancy deception. I'm afraid that you've gotten yourself into some dee
p trouble!" Hector sighed. The only reason he had gone along with the act
was because he bore hopes of freeing her from the marriage arrangement,
but who would have thought that Tyler didn't buy it at all? And not only
so, he did not seem to have any intention of calling off the marriage at
all!
*There must be some other way… Natasha's brow was deeply furrowed as she
cracked her head thinking of a way out of her predicament. The way things
had played out was beyond her expectations, and she was in a dilemma righ
t now.
"Dustin, hurry. You should get out of Millsburg pronto! Knowing Tyler, he
'd never let you off the hook!" Hector
was suddenly reminded of the danger Dustin was in.
"Don't you worry, Mr. Harmon. Tyler won't be able to mess with me so easi
ly." Dustin smiled and continued, Oh, and leave the matter of calling off
the marriage to me. If persuasion doesn't work on him, then we'll try
more aggressive means.
