Just then, there was the sound of approaching footsteps. Natalie immediately stepped back and clung to the wall, her legs and arms tied tightly.
"Hello?". Said Mr. Joseph, standing straight in front of Natalie with a terrible gaze and a deceptive smile.
"Mr. Joseph?". Natalie was surprised when she saw the middle-aged man standing in front of her. Instantly, Natalie shuddered with horror and stared at him with hatred.
"You still know me?". Asked Mr. Joseph, pointing at Natalie with the cane he always carried to help him walk well.
"How can I forget the person who killed my son". Natalie replied boldly.
"Your son died because he doesn't deserve to live, this is all because of your fault, if you didn't seduce my son, maybe I wouldn't make you like this". Mr Joseph said as he grabbed Natalie's hair roughly.
"Aaaa ...". Natalie moaned, clutching her aching hair.
"I followed your wishes, for five years I never contacted Nathan, other than that your secret is safe. Why are you doing this to me?". Natalie shouted, shedding tears.
"I should have eliminated you long ago, but I didn't do it because I thought you wouldn't be a problem for me. But, now my son is a rebel because of your actions. Today you don't have to worry because I won't make you die, you have to see my son happy after marrying a respectable woman whom I arranged for him". Mr Joseph said as he pushed his hand away from Natalie's hair.
Hearing that, Natalie's heart ached terribly. Not only physically but her heart was also in torment.
"What do I have to do with Nathan's marriage? Are you afraid I will fail him?". Natalie asked with a sharp gaze.
After that, she suddenly smiled.
"Why are you smiling?". Mr. Joseph asked in surprise.
"I smile because I feel grateful to you, because you know when I have to start to become a strong woman. I am not like Zio's mother who is very tough and not easily bullied. But, I can be more cruel than her. you should know, your proud family will soon collapse by your own hands". Natalie replied, gritting her teeth with a glowing gaze.
Kevin was already helping to light the fire inside Natalie so she wasn't as cowardly as she used to be.
Mr. Joseph shuddered at what Natalie had to say, the look in her eyes filled with deadly hatred.
Mr. Joseph's expression was also terrifying when he heard about Zio's mother, the woman who had left his son and grandson on his own plan by exploiting Virsen's hatred.
"Tell me where the girl is now!". Shouted Mr. Joseph with a sharp gaze.
"Hahaha ... I know everything, you think I'm stupid? What if Mr. Ju finds out that you also separate him from his wife? What do you want to do if you meet him?". Natalie replied with a bitter smile.
Mr. Joseph fell silent when he heard what Natalie had to say, of course Julian would have done the thing that would have broken him in one part if he had known. Because he knows very well how the character of his first son is.
Natalie finds out about the incident five years ago when she overheard Mr. Joseph's conversation with Virsen at the hospital when she gave birth to Axel. And that's where she found out that the person who kidnapped Axel was Mr. Joseph.
Unfortunately, her son came back to her when he had breathed his last before Natalie could see and hold the preborn-named baby.
"Say what you want to say, because today is your last day to breathe fresh air. One more thing, Nathan greets you, he said thank you for wanting to be with him, unfortunately he prefers a woman who deserves to be his wife". Mr. Joseph said, grinning at Natalie.
"I'm happy if he's happy. But, if he's not happy, I'll make sure you pay for everything you do, even though I've become a corpse!".
Mr. Joseph shuddered again with horror at Natalie's creepy words, but he must not show it to Natalie so as not to appear weak.
Without saying anything else, Mr. Joseph immediately left Natalie because he had a tea party that was more important than taking care of people who were considered trash.
"Why do I have to be tortured for mistakes that I have never done, if loving is a sin, then I don't want to feel it anymore. But, my heart and mind reject everything. Whoever helps me, I promise to do anything for him!". Natalie thought, looking down at her tears that kept flowing.
Villa JJ Group.
Prior to the tea party, Mr. Joseph went to meet Nathan who was locked up in one of the villas owned by JJ Group. But, it has long been abandoned.
Because the old building and the Villa were not so far apart, Mr. Joseph took the time to see his son, whom he had been confined to for several days without Julian and Jasmin's knowledge.
Because it was the Villa that was almost forgotten, Julian and Jasmin did not think that their father would have the heart to lock up their son in an empty villa with inadequate facilities.
This time, Mr. Joseph was not alone, as he was accompanied by Clara at his side. all Clara knew was that she would be taken to meet Nathan, but she did not know that her future in-laws had seen Natalie beforehand. She was only asked to wait in the car and not be able to ask many questions.
"Uncle, is Nathan here?". Clara asked when they reached the front of the Villa.
"Of course, he purposely stayed here for concentration". Mr. Joseph replied with a smile.
"Then let's go in, I can't wait to meet him. It's been five years since we got engaged. I've never seen him!". Clara said excitedly.
Mr. Joseph immediately nodded with a broad smile.
Not long after, they arrived at Nathan's room.
"Nathan, Papa came with Intan Clara Dewi ... who is none other than your future wife". Mr. Joseph said after opening the door to Nathan's room.
Clara felt nervous and embarrassed when she saw Nathan sitting on the chair reading, it felt like she wanted to run to hug Nathan.
