The Otherside Of Love || Sadistic Billionaire

Natalie’s POV

My cells were still trembling from what happened in the apartment when I got out of Rafael’s car and headed inside the villa. A wave of pain was cutting through my abdomen.

I was scared and shocked to the core when I saw Rafael standing in front of the apartment door. Could this affect my babies?

I shook my head to erase these thoughts as my mind was full of overlapping ideas. I inserted my key into the lock, turned it, and opened the door. Once I entered, I heard voices coming from the living room.

I thought it was Grandma and Tobi, so I headed there, craving Grandma’s tender embrace. Even though my lower abdomen was killing me, I wanted to hug her a little before going to sleep.

But once I stepped inside the living room, three heads turned towards me, and none of them were Grandma or Tobi.

“Wow, see who’s home!” said Nicol.

I ignored her, fixing my gaze on one face; Debbie. She succeeded in framing me. Rage rose inside me as I headed straight towards her and snapped, “You dare to come here? Leave, now!”

She didn’t even flinch. She stared at the two other women, Nicol and Melissa, as if asking them for backup.

She hissed, “If anyone is going to leave, it will be you, bitch!”

Without hesitation, I raised my hand to slap her, fueled by all the frustration in my heart caused by her evilness. But just before my hand landed on her face, my wrist was grabbed and held back.

I stared back at the person holding my hand and wasn’t too surprised to see that it was Nicol, Rafael’s mother.

She exclaimed, “How dare you try to slap our precious Debbie?”

“How dare she talk to her like that and try to kick her out of the house?” Melissa intervened, walking towards me with an ugly expression on her face. “Don’t you know your place here? Debbie is going to be the lady of this house soon, and you…” She laughed mockingly, sizing me up from head to toe, and added with disdain, “You’re nothing! Once Debbie and Rafael get married in a few days, you’ll be kicked out of here.”

I furiously pulled my hand out of Nicol’s grip and retorted through gritted teeth, “In your dreams!” Then, looking at Debbie, I added, “I’ve figured out your scheme. Believe me, you will be exposed soon.”

Debbie stared at the two women with watery eyes and stammered, “I don’t know why… why Natalie hates me. I… I considered her a sister from the first day, and here she is, trying to scheme against me!”

I was stunned. How could she act like that? If I didn’t know the truth about her, I would have believed her.

Nicol said, “She’s just like her mother. Like mother, like daughter-evil and vicious.”

“You’re not worth my time and energy,” I said to them, turning to leave.

Before I reached the stairs, Nicol shouted, “Leave my son’s life! You’re making him remember his miserable childhood with his father.”

“Leave our family,” Melissa assured.

Upon reaching the upstairs, I was met by the pitiful gazes of the domestic staff.

“I’m sorry, dear. I couldn’t defend you, but Grandma and Tobi will be home soon,” Laura said.

I waved my hand as the pain in my lower abdomen increased. I couldn’t focus on anything; I just headed to my bedroom. I was relieved when I didn’t find any blood. The pain made me fear I would lose my kids.

I placed my hand on my flat stomach. “I’ll call Fello to come and take me to see my doctor. Everything will be okay, my babies,” I reassured myself, trying to find comfort.

Once I got out of the bathroom, I found Debbie standing in the middle of my room with an ugly smile on her face.

“Get out of my room!” I roared.

She laughed. “You’re the one who will be kicked out of here very soon, so leave with your dignity, bitch.”

I laughed back confidently and said, “You! You’ll never marry Rafael, I promise you that.”© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

She approached me with steady steps and said, “Why? Because you’re carrying his child? That’s not a problem. We can get rid of this little bastard Illegitimate child easily while you’re in prison. For example, a drunk guard could rape you after you seduce him, slut.”

I was taken aback. How did she know about my pregnancy? No one knows!!

“No one would believe you. Rafael would never let down his flesh and blood,” I hissed.

She handed me her phone and said, “Watch, he will never want this child after he sees this.”

It was a short film cuts of a girl having sex with a different man every time, she was exactly like me. Her hair, body, but her facial features weren’t clear. The location was the same apartment where Rafael found me this morning.

“You’re the devil himself,” I said, barely able to breathe.

She bowed and said, “Thank you. You haven’t seen anything yet. Did you think you can take what’s mine so easily?.”

Then she snatched her phone from between my hands and said, “Let me make you hear something else.”

She called a number and put it on speaker. After a few rings, Rafael’s voice came over the phone, “Yes?”

My heartbeat quickened.

“Hey, Rafael!” Debbie said, and a grip tightened on my heart.

“What’s up?” he asked nonchalantly.

“You were going to announce the date of our marriage today, right?” she asked, fixing her gaze on me.

“Yes,” he replied without hesitation.

My heart shattered into a million pieces. How could he? Was he playing with my feelings? I told him that I loved him. And what did he do?

“Good, just like I told Natalie, and she didn’t believe me. I guess after she heard it from you with her own ears, she’ll start preparing herself for our wedding party.”

Rafael paused for a moment, then said, “I’m busy.” He then hung up the call.

I stood frozen in place. He promised he would announce our marriage soon after he called off his engagement. But now, was he going to do the opposite-divorce me and marry Debbie? After what happened in the apartment, did Rafael no longer want me? Did he believe I was behind that suspicious shipment?

The shock left me unaware of what was happening around me until a vicious hit landed on my stomach, making me curl up in pain.

I lost my balance and staggered a few steps back. I felt dizzy, as if the whole room was spinning. When I raised my gaze, I met Debbie’s hateful eyes. She said, “Let’s get rid of this child now.”

Did she just hit me in the stomach? Was she trying to harm my babies?

Before I could react, she pushed me to the ground and hit me in the stomach again, this time with her high heels. I protected my stomach with my arms, but her heels left bruises and scratches all over them.

“Debbie, stop, please. If you want Rafael, take him. I don’t care. This is an innocent child; he has no fault in what’s happening,” I begged her.

“NO!” she growled. “I must eliminate the point of contact between you and him for good.”
