Love after Betrayal (Casper and Natalie) novel Chapter 21

--- Chapter 21 I Didn’t Say So

Natalie held her tattered dress close, her heart racing with fear.

Tears fell down her cheeks.

Alexis had arranged the meeting, and he bought the dress for her too.

Harold did want her to have a few drinks with him.

He said he would approve her loan if she slept with him, but she refused without hesitation.

She was pregnant, so alcohol was off limits for her, and she splashed Harold’s face with the wine due to his insults.

That crossed him, and he said he would never approve her loan.

She wanted to save her company, but not like this.

“I don’t care about marrying you, Casper! We’re getting a divorce tomorrow.

This is not a negotiation.

It’s a statement.

You disgust me,”

she said coldly as she got up.

Casper’s face fell.

She hated him.

Even if she didn’t say it, he could see that she thought of him as something worse than a demon.

His rage finally erupted, and he couldn’t hold it back anymore.

He clenched his fists and roared, “We’re not getting a divorce unless I say so!”

He finally broke down.

He had waited for her the whole day, thinking she would come to him, but she didn’t.

She went to another man instead.

Even if she didn’t spend the night with him, meeting up with someone else while wearing something so revealing was wrong.

At least to him it was.

Natalie was furious as well.

Then, she roared back, “Why do you get to call all the shots? You don’t get to control me, Casper! Over my dead body!”

He looked at her darkly and she shivered.

If looks could kill, she would have been dead a hundred times over by now.

Terrified, Natalie took a few steps back.

“Guards, lock her up and take her phone away.

Don’t give her any food or water.”

… Tyler took a few important documents to Casper the next day since he didn’t go to work.

“Where’s the madam?”

Tyler was surprised Natalie wasn’t around.

“Conrad and I ran into her last night at the bar.

She was really brazen.

Splashed her wine at Mr. Quinton.

The guy was so mad that he said he would make sure the madam gets no loan.

I texted you last night.

Didn’t you see it?”

Casper had been too busy to look at his texts.
