My Heart only Beats for You (Natalie Godfrey)

Natalie was twenty but she had never seen a face like that!

There were scars all over the woman's face and there was a huge word 'b*tch' craved on her right cheek.

The word was inflicted by a knife. It seemed like a deep wound but it was not new.

The woman noticed the frightened look on Natalie's face and she immediately covered her face. "I'm sorry that I scared you."

Her voice was surprisingly sweet. Natalie calmed down. There was nothing to be afraid of. Her bottom was

covered in scars too.

"It's okay. My butt is horrible too so we're in the same boat." Natalie forced a smile.

She was trying to comfort the woman but she realized that she might have said the wrong thing.

Who would compare their bottoms to someone's face?

The woman lowered her hands slowly.

Natalie stared at the woman and tried to control her emotions.

Natalie knew that woman would feel terrible because of her looks. If Natalie looked afraid, the woman would be sad. Moreover, she realized that the woman would be beautiful if there were no scars on her face.

"I'm here because I stabbed someone. What about you?" Natalie relaxed and started to chat with the woman casually.

It was two in the morning when Tobias returned to the Whitlock family's apartment.

He was very busy and he had just arrived home from work.

Other than his work, he asked someone to look into something as well.

The scars on Natalie's bottom.

He was involved in the business world for years, hence he was very sharp.

He had a nagging feeling that something was wrong with the incident revolving around Natalie. Therefore, after he went to the company, he sent someone to investigate the matter.

However, it happened a long time ago. Furthermore, the small house that Natalie used to live in was demolished, thus it would be tricky to find out.

After entering the apartment, Tobias strode to Natalie's door instinctively. He reached out for the doorknob when he suddenly caught himself.

What was he doing?

The previous day, he went into Natalie's room to help her put on some ointment. Yet, what was he doing?

They were just pretending to be married. It was late and it was not appropriate for him to enter a woman's room.

Tobias dropped his arm and a hint of gentleness appeared in his eyes.

He hoped that Natalie could have a good night's sleep.

Contrary to Tobias' wish, Natalie did not manage to sleep.

The whole night, she chatted with the woman in the cell.

The woman was Vannah Simpson. She was married and she was two years older than Natalie.

Vannah told Natalie that she was detained because she killed her husband.

Natalie was bewildered when Vannah mentioned that she murdered her husband.

She could not imagine that a woman with a pleasant voice was a murderer.

Natalie was shocked as Vannah told her the story slowly.

Natalie never expected that a b*stard like Vannah's husband existed.

Two years ago, Vannah married her husband. After her marriage, her husband treated her differently and he was like another person.

Following that, Vannah suffered from domestic abuse.

Her husband would often beat her up. There was an occasion where a man asked Vannah for directions. She showed the man the way and her husband carved the word 'b*tch' on her face with a knife.

Vannah wanted a divorce but her husband threatened to kill Vannah's family.

Her child's death set her off.

Her husband would force himself on Vannah every day and Vannah gave birth to a boy.

The boy was very adorable and he resembled Vannah.

Vannah's son was her only hope in her miserable life.

One night, her husband came back drunk and forced himself on Vannah but the commotion woke the baby.

The baby burst into tears.

Vannah's husband was furious because the baby disturbed him. Therefore, he got off the bed and grabbed the baby before smashing the baby onto the floor.

The baby died from the impact.

Vannah's red eyes were glowing as she spoke, "My baby was only two months old but that b*stard threw my baby on the floor. He's definitely a b*stard!"

Vannah's cry of despair echoed in the small, humid cell.

Natalie did not know how to comfort Vannah, hence she could only wipe Vannah's tears with some tissue paper. Finally, the long night was replaced by the warm sunshine.

Early that morning, Tobias did not depart to the company immediately because he suddenly wanted to have breakfast with Natalie.

He did not have an appetite but he would probably have some appetite if he ate with Natalie.

Yeah, that was it.

Natalie would make anything she ate look delicious. No matter what it was, she acted like she was eating the best food in the world. Every time he saw her eat, he would get hungry.

However, it was half-past seven in the morning and Natalie did not come out.

Natalie needed to go to class, therefore she should come out for breakfast.

Tobias asked Aunt Lee about it and she told Tobias about her phone call with Natalie the previous day.

"Miss Godfrey probably left early. She said that she has something to attend to." After that, Aunt Lee opened the refrigerator and added, "I prepared some breakfast for Miss Godfrey and I think she took it with her."

However, the food in the refrigerator was untouched and Aunt Lee was taken aback.

"Miss Godfrey probably left in a hurry and forgot to take it," Aunt Lee scratched her head and suggested.

She worked as a servant for years, hence she would not ponder about things. Nevertheless, Tobias noticed that something was wrong and he had a bad feeling about it.

Tobias immediately called his assistant, Benjamin, and asked the latter to check if Natalie was in Agaphen University.

Shortly after, Benjamin returned the phone call. He reported that Natalie was not in Agaphen University and she had been arrested by police officers the previous day.

Tobias's eyes flickered.

Natalie was taken away by the officers but he did not know about it.

Tobias immediately left the mansion and drove to the police station hurriedly. On the way, he instructed Benjamin to bring a few things.

Concurrently, two police officers approached Natalie's detention cell.

The police officers came to take Vannah away and they handcuffed her.

They handcuffed her and chatted, "She killed her own husband so I guess she'll get a death sentence."

Vannah was unfazed.

She knew that she would pay for what she did. Her son died and she no longer wanted to stay alive. Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Meanwhile, Natalie stiffened.

Death sentence! Vannah would be sentenced to death! Natalie rushed to Vannah and exclaimed, "You can't take her away. Why should she get sentenced to death?"

"It's not up to you to decide. It's up to the jury, so get out of the way," one of the officers urged impatiently.

Suddenly, a trace of fear grew in Natalie's heart.

She was worried that Vannah would never return if the officers took her away.
