My Heart only Beats for You

"Natalie, are you okay?" Hayden asked her, his eyes wide.

Natalie looked at Hayden's face in a daze.

There was no light in her eyes, only emptiness.

After a while, she cback to her senses.

She touched Hayden's face and said in a low voice, "I'm fine. Hayden, you have to eat more so you can grow taller." Hayden smiled at that. "I will. I'm going to grow tall, even taller than Daddy." There was a sense of despair in Natalie's eyes.

Simon's words from earlier in the day almost moved her.

But what happened after that made her determined.

She had to leave Tobias, and once she did, that would be the end of it.

This meant that she would have to do so even if she had leave Hayden.

Tobias was not well.

Everything would end only if she were to leave.

After dinner, Natalie excused herself and went to the bedroom, saying that she was tired.

Just as Tobias was about to enter her room, Cecilia stopped him.

She looked at Tobias with sconcern. "Tobias, Natalie seems to be strange today. Is she in a bad mood?" Tobias looked tired. "I will comfort her," he replied.

"Tobias, you always have a sense of propriety when doing things. I don't want you to lose your sense of propriety with Natalie." Tobias's breath hitched for a moment, and a flash of irony appeared in his eyes.

He had a sense of propriety.

He had always felt that this was the case.

But now he knew that he was wrong.

When faced with Natalie, he could not be rational. He would always be reduced to a mess.

He knew that he had hurt her earlier.

After entering the bedroom, Natalie was already in bed, her back towards Tobias.

Tobias got in bed and put his arms around her waist.

Natalie's body immediately trembled.

She was not asleep.

A hint of sorrow flashed in Tobias' eyes.

He could feel it, Natalie's fear of him.

He had never expected that one day, Natalie would be so terrified of him.

He had always wanted to spoil her, but he never thought that he would hurt her so badly.

Tobias was enveloped in endless regret. He was filled with guilt and exhaustion.

"Natalie," Tobias said, "I'm sorry." Hearing his apology, Natalie's lips curled with sarcasm and despair.

Tobias was apologising to her? After all the pain and suffering that he'd inflicted on her? Though he was apologising now, would he act the sway next time? Natalie already knew that each short burst of sweetness would only be followed by endless pain.

She and Tobias were destined to torture each other, and it would not end well.

It was best for both of them if she were to leave Tobias.

Natalie's eyes were filled with determination.

"I am tired," Natalie said. "Go to sleep." Tobias tightened his grip on Natalie's waist.

Tslowly passed, but Natalie's eyes remained wide open.

She was waiting for the darkest hour to arrive, waiting for Tobias to fall asleep.

After what felt like an eternity, Natalie finally felt Tobias' light breathing coming from behind her.

"Tobias," Natalie called out lightly.

There was no response.

Natalie carefully removed Tobias' grip on her waist.

She hurriedly got out of bed and put on her coat.

She had specially prepared this coat for this night.

There were two big pockets on the coat, one containing identification and a bank card, and another containing a sharp dagger.

Natalie knew how dangerous it was to run out in the middle of the night as a woman.

What's more, the villa was halfway up the mountain, so she'd specially prepared a dagger.

Once she was dressed, Natalie reached out to lightly open the door.

"Natalie," a man's deep voice rang out behind her.

That voice was like a thunder strike in Natalie's mind, making her stop in her tracks and widen her eyes.

"Natalie." Tobias got out of bed. "Go back to sleep. You have to be obedient." His voice gave Natalie a sense of eeriness in the darkness of the unlit room.

Through the light projected from the window, Natalie could see Tobias' silhouette. He was walking towards her.

Natalie's heart trembled with every step that he took.

"Don't cover!" Natalie suddenly shouted uncontrollably.

She subconsciously took the dagger she had prepared from the pocket of her coat.

In the darkness of the night, under the dim light coming from outside the window, the dagger seemed to be sharper than she remembered.

Natalie pointed the dagger at Tobias. "Don't cover. Letgo, I don't want to be with you." Tobias stopped short.

Natalie's actions made his mind go blank.

He was overcwith a wave of immense pain.

Tobias looked at Natalie and said in a hoarse voice, "Natalie, are you really so desperate to leave me?"

She wanted to leave him so much that she had aimed a dagger at him. S~a'h the (F)indef website of Google to access chapters of early and in the highest quality. Natalie's mind was a mess.

At this moment, she only had one thought in her mind. She had to leave. There was no alternative.

The situation with Tobias was unbearable. They would only be able to be free by her leaving him.

Otherwise, they would descend into the pits of h*ll together. "Don't cover, don't cover," Natalie kept repeating.

Her body trembled violently, and the hand holding the dagger kept trembling.

However, her threat was useless.

Tobias stopped momentarily but then continued to walk toward her.

In the dark night, his eyes were emitting a strange light.

Tobias walked up to her.

Natalie's dagger was almost pressed against Tobias' body.

Tobias grabbed Natalie's hand and put the dagger where his heart was, then released her hand.

His eyes were filled with despair and pain. "Natalie, if you want to escape, kill me. Stabhere, and then you can leave." Natalie's hands were shaking violently.

Her eyes were filled with tears. "Tobias, why are you pushinglike this? Why do you want to force me?"

"Natalie, I have never forced you." Tobias emphasized each word. "I just don't want you to leaveNatalie, I will spend the rest of my life making up for what I did to you before. I will love and protect you for the rest of my life. Why won't you givethis chance?" Despair flashed in Natalie's eyes.

That's right, why didn't she want to give Tobias this opportunity? At this point, it was all too late.

At this juncture, all she wanted was to leave.

Natalie looked at Tobias and sobbed, "Can you letgo? I beg you, letgo." "You can leave after you kill me." Tobias stared at Natalie.
