Natasha wasn’t ready for it and Scott respected her decision. He would wait for her forever.
She had started her studies as now she didn’t have any excuse to decline his help.
She slowly started to fall in love with him but still consummating their marriage was a big step for her.
It wasn’t until Kelly came to their first wedding anniversary, she decided to help her.
She tried to make Natasha understand that she was punishing the wrong person.
Scott had done nothing wrong and he shouldn’t deserve that punishment.
Her decision was clearly showing her mistrust for him. That’s she should forget her past and move on.
Natasha was now ready after her talk with Kelly. She told her to handle Scarlett for the night and she agreed.
That night they consummated their wedding and Scott had put his need aside and focused on hers.
It was better than her first time. She got pleasure in this but last time, he had only given her pain.
Scott laid beside her and pulled her in his arms. She placed her head on his chest.
Even though she was content, something had been roaming in her head and that made her weep.
He felt wetness on his chest and he peeked at her and saw that she was crying.
He sat up along with him, she too sat up and turned her face away from him.
He cupped her face and asked, “Natasha, did I hurt you?”
He was worried sick the whole time thinking that he might have hurt her even though he had been nothing but gentle.
She shook her head and asked the question which made him angry and confused.
“Did I satisfy you? If I didn’t, I am so sorry. I’ll learn everything. Please don’t be angry with me.”
He gaped at her. How could she say that? That’s when he remembered her talk when he went to her home.
‘He said that I didn’t satisfy him’
He remembered how broken she was. That bastard had broken her self esteem.
“Natasha, I don’t want to hear these words from your mouth again. I married you because I love you, not your body.”
He wiped her tears and kissed her forehead and said “To answer your question, you have satisfied me more than I ever was.”
This was the starting of their happy married life. He had taken on their second honeymoon.
They went to Las Vegas and this time Scarlett went with them who was now a toddler.
She had started to babble a lot of things but her first word was ‘Mumma’.
Natasha was over the moon that day. She had been waiting for this moment and now she got it.
They had decided that they would for sometime before planning a baby as Scarlett was young right now.
They roamed the beautiful city. Scarlett was in her stroller which Scott was dragging.
Both their happiness was short-lived because someone from their past had come.
Liam was at a business meeting and Linda decided to tag along as she had a photoshoot here.
Liam couldn’t believe his eyes when he saw Natasha and Scott together along with a baby, his baby.
She was looking so beautiful but how could she be alive. He was being told that she died during the delivery.
He was broken and the guilt was eating him alive. Everything was shattered when Linda told him that she was pregnant.
He wanted to rectify his mistake and he married her for the sake of his child.
Natasha stopped when she noticed him. Scott stopped too and wondered what happened to her suddenly.
But when he followed her gaze, he froze. And at that moment he had wanted nothing more than to beat him.
“Natasha,” Linda gasped when she saw her. Liam had told her everything about Natasha and him.
“Linda, how are you?” She asked her in a calm voice.
“Oh god, you are alive.” She blurted out
“I am,” she chuckled
“Meet my husband Scott. Scott, she is Linda, Liam’s wife. Right?” Natasha introduced them.
“She is your baby,” Linda asked her when she saw Scarlett’s angry face.
“Yes she is our baby,” Natasha said while linking her hand with Scott who was smiling at her gesture.
Linda was gazing at Scott with narrowed eyes, trying to match the puzzles in her mind and she finally did.
“You, I know you.” She said and turned toward Liam who was telling with his eyes to ‘shut up’ but she didn’t get that.
“Liam, remember I had told you that Miranda was cheating on you. He was the person.” She said and glared at Scott who was confused.
“I have seen them together many times. Remember when you told me that she was pregnant and that you were the father.”
“Wait hold on” Scott cut her in the middle and pulled out his mobile.
It took him some time to find the picture as his hands were continuously shivering.
He didn’t want it to be true. He just hoped to god that she might be talking about some other Miranda.
A hope which is going to be crushed brutally.
He showed her picture to Linda and the fire in her eyes confirmed that they were talking about his dead wife.
“Is this Miranda you are talking about?” He asked nervously
“Yes she was the bitch who had cheated on Liam with you even when she was pregnant with his baby,” Linda stated.
He felt like someone had snatched the ground under his feet. Suddenly he felt like he couldn’t breathe.
That’s when he heard “Dada”.
That was and the continuous soothing of Natasha was enough for him to be normal.
He bent down to kiss Scarlett’s cheeks. She somehow calmed down his anger.
He then gave a cold look to Linda and said ” She was my wife when she had been cheating on me with Liam.”
He then turned to Liam and said “You made a big mistake, Mr. Liam Knights.”
