章節 27: Chapter 27

NATALIE'S P.O.V

I squirmed on my bed as I tried to find the best position to lie and be at peace with myself and maybe the world. Aside from the fact that I was getting married, I was scared of the life after marriage with Maverick. I was scared of dying of loneliness; I was going to leave my family and my only friend, Abby. I was scared of being tortured by Maverick. Come to think of it, he isn't bad of a man but having to take me in exchange for money was what gave me the hatred I have for him and also the suspicion in my heart. If he could do that, he was capable of even killing me, though that was the way I perceived it. Deep down in my heart, I earnestly wished he would come to our house and give me the good news of calling off the wedding. But I could only dream, and dreams mostly didn't come to actualization. And this was one of them.
