My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

"You promised me that you wouldn't touch me," Natalie said with a quivering voice.

Her remark made Tobias pause for a moment and then he let Natalie go.

"I didn't touch you because I pitied you, but this time, I find you dirty," Tobias said coldly.

He left without mercy upon finishing his words.

Natalie held back her tears. She felt like she was an idiot.

Why did she even think that Tobias was a good man?

Would a good man treat her like that?

"I didn't touch you because I pitied you, but this time, I find you dirty."

His words lingered in her mind.

She recalled the contemptuous look on Tobias' face when spotted her in the red wig and terrible attire.

Tobias was probably very disgusted with her. He only agreed to be her nominal husband because his mother wanted him to get married.

He bought her an apartment, gave her chocolate and stood up for her but it was all lies.

He was not being nice to her. He did it because he had to. He did it because they were pretending to be a married couple. Natalie staggered back to her bedroom and wrapped herself with the quilt.

Her clothes were still wet but she couldn't care less as tears streamed down her cheeks.

She had not shed tears ever since she turned sixteen. It had been a long time.

Back then, Madison would often hit and scold her while Brayden would also punch her. Queenie did not harm her physically but Queenie would insult her ceaselessly.

She would curl up in her quilt whenever the pain and insult overwhelmed her.

She would cry herself to sleep and the pillow would be wet when she woke up.

However, she did not cry after she turned sixteen. The scolding and beatings continued but she told herself that she was already sixteen and no longer a child. She could not be a crybaby and turn herself into a joke.

Since then, Natalie would endure everything and told herself repeatedly not to cry.

However, she shed tears again that night.

"What a spineless thing you are!" Natalie scolded herself.

She should stop crying and just go to sleep. No one cared about her poor sad life and no one cared about her. Why was she even crying when she knew about it from the start?

She sniffed and closed her eyes.

A large area of the pillow was wet when she woke up the next day.

"Natalie, this is the last time you cry. Do you hear me?" Natalie exclaimed to herself.

She got up and went to have breakfast. Food was the most important thing to her in the world.

Madison often starved her. If she did not arrive at the dining table during meal time, Madison would keep all the food away. Natalie was always hungry when she was a child.

After being starved for a long time, she felt that eating was a crucial thing in her life. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org: ©.

However, she ended up not having any breakfast that morning. After taking a few steps, Natalie blacked out and she collapsed on the floor.

"Mr. Whitlock, there's a call. It's Miss Godfrey..." Benjamin stopped Tobias, who was about to enter the meeting room to prepare for a meeting.

"Can't you see that I'm going to have a meeting?" Tobias interrupted Benjamin swiftly.

"But Miss Godfrey..." Benjamin tried to speak.

"I don't want to know anything about Natalie for the time being," Tobias replied placidly.

His temples throbbed when he thought of Natalie. He immediately came back to his senses after returning to his room the previous night.

Why was he so angry? He and Natalie were just pretending to be married. He and Natalie should not interfere with each other's life and that was the correct way to go about being a nominal couple. Benjamin paused. After thinking for a moment, he decided to break it to Tobias. He said, "But Miss Godfrey fainted this morning and she was sent to the hospital."
