My Heart only Beats for You

Selina grabbed the opportunity and quickly untied the rope on her ankles.

Before she left, she stomped on Brayden's foot and spat, "This is what you get for trying to take advantage of me. You will never be able to get it up for the rest of your life now." Then, she fled the room.

Although Brayden was hurt, he might recover soon. She needed to seize the opportunity and run as far away as possible.

She stopped running abruptly when she reached the exit, landing a slap on her forehead.

She almost forgot about Natalie.

She quickly turned back to save Natalie.

Natalie was drowning.

This was the worst torture she had ever endured.

She lost count of the amount of times Queenie forced her head under before lifting it up again for just enough air to enter her lungs to keep her alive.

Every ther head got dunked into the bathtub, she wished she was dead instead.

Finally, Queenie let Natalie's head stay above water for a longer tthis round.

She let Natalie catch her breaths.

"How do you feel, little one? Are you enjoying it? I'll let you rest now, because next time, I won't be lifting your head up anymore. Say goodbye to this beautiful world," she said as she gave Natalie a cold, devilish smile.

Natalie's teeth chattered.

After gasping for a few breaths, she finally regained ssemblance of strength to speak.

"Why...why are you doing this to me? I have nothing against you. Why are you doing this to me? You wicked woman!" Queenie did not seem to be angered by Natalie's words. Instead, she just laughed.

She cackled smugly.

Then, she said slowly, "Why am I doing this to you? Lettell you, Natalie. You are supposed to be a slave in our family. You are supposed to serve me, but I would never have thought-" She paused and raised her tone. "I would never have thought that you managed to seduce Tobias. Why would he choose a woman like you over me? Why? You're only a b*tch, how could you have such good luck? I will only rest when I see you dead!" After she finished her words, she dunked Natalie's head into the bathtub again.

Natalie struggled once more to break free, but her efforts were in vain.

Every breath she took filled her lungs with water. Natalie was about to drown to death.

As Natalie tipped between the scale of life and death, she suddenly felt her soul splitting into two. One part of her soul remained in her body, whereas the other one had floated into the air.

Her thoughts had never been so clear. Memories flashed through her mind one after another like a movie playing in her head.

Natalie's eyes suddenly widened.

She remembered everything. She finally remembered everything about her past.

All the good memories, as well as the painful ones, rushed back to her in an instant.

"Go to hell, Natalie!" Queenie said as she submerged Natalie's head deeper into the water.

"You're the one who's going to hell!" Suddenly, Natalie felt Queenie's grip on her head loosen. Then, she heard a huge plop. Queenie collapsed beside her.

Queenie knocked a bucket when she fell, and the bucket landed right onto her head, making her look ridiculous. Selina quickly helped Natalie out of the tub.

Natalie's pupils were dilated, and she seemed confused.

Her dark hair clung onto her face, and drops of water trickled down her cheeks and nose.

"Thank God, Natalie. You're not dead." Selina's voice was shaking, as if she was about to cry. She grabbed Natalie's hand and said, "Run." When they reached the staircase, they heard the sounds of hurried footsteps behind them. Selina held onto Natalie's hand tightly and said, "Natalie, run. They are coming after us." Natalie finally regained her senses. She didn't have the tto sort her memories out. Staying alive was her topmost priority right now.

Outside, the sky had turned completely dark. They lost their sense of direction as they stumbled into an alley. There was no one around the area. Selina and Natalie couldn't find anyone to ask for help from. They could only keep running with Queenie and Brayden trailing close behind.

Selina was almost out of breath.

She heaved, "I can't make it. I really can't." "Hurry up, Selina. If you're caught, then you're screwed." Selina sucked in a deep breath and ran with all her might.

However, no matter how fast they ran, they could never outrun Brayden. Fear overwhelmed them as he slowly caught up with them.

If Brayden captured them again, they would be doomed.

At that moment, a car suddenly sped towards them from afar. Search The FindNøvelWebsite on Gøøgle to access chapters of early and in the highest quality.

The blinding headlights made Natalie squint.

Hope rose in Natalie and Selina's hearts, and they immediately screamed for help.

"Help!" They yelled at the top of their lungs.

The car was coming at them fast. When the driver noticed them, he stopped the car abruptly. The sound of tires screeching against the street made everyone's ear hurt. Dust filled the air. The car door swung open, and the driver got down from the vehicle.

The driver was wearing a black suit and matching trousers, and his tall figure seemed to blend into the darkness. He carried an intimidating air around him.

Natalie's entire body froze.

It felt like a lifethad passed since she last saw him.

Although she had just seen Tobias not long ago, she felt as if they had been separated for a lifetime.

It was as though they had not seen each other for hundreds of years.

When Selina realized the driver was Tobias, she threw herself into his arms.

Her eyes were red, and she cried, "Brother, you must avenge us. That b*stard, he... he almost took advantage of me!" Tobias snapped his head and shot a glance at Brayden and Queenie.

Brayden and Queenie recognized Tobias as soon as they saw him getting down from the car. They immediately started running frantically in the other direction. Tobias's eyes burned in fury as if Hades had possessed him.

He patted Selina's shoulder gently, then shifted his gaze to Natalie's face.

Natalie stared back at him.

Her entire body was drenched, and her black hair clung to her scalp and face.

Tobias let go of Selina and approached Natalie.

He pulled her into an embrace and murmured, "Are you okay, Natalie?" His voice cracked as he tried to hold back his tears.

He was late.

Natalie had suddenly disappeared, leaving no clues for him to locate her.

Fortunately, Tobias thought of the Godfrey family.

Although he was the person holding Madison captive, he had suspected that the Godfrey family may have thought Natalie to be the culprit. And he was right.

Tobias immediately drove to the Godfrey family's has soon as he e.

thought of them. He was grateful that although he was late, nothing bad had happened to Natalie.

Natalie took in his familiar scent.

Her muscles froze.

After a moment, she regained her senses and shoved Tobias away from her.

Tobias frowned. "Natalie, I hope you won't feel guilty about Remington anymore." Natalie glared at Tobias and spat, "Do you think I'm doing this for Remington? Don't you feel bad for what you've done instead?" Tobias's body stiffened.

His mouth gaped as he stared at Natalie in shock.

He noticed that Natalie's attitude changed.

Her tone was no longer as gentle as the evening breeze.

She was now defensive and unapproachable, like a hedgehogn baring its thoìhs to scare away its predator. "Natalie, are your memories back?" He asked when their eyes met.
