The Price of a Love

"Anthony is a wonderful man and a great man. I'm different from you, We really love each other!" Natalie still looked calm.

Nadia smoked her cigarette and spat out the smoke. "Really love each other? Your love is just an illusion. I will remind you one more time, you better stay away from him, or you will die. Everyone in the Stevano family is a pervert and a hypocrite. If you continue this struggle of yours, you will not end well! Well, I won't talk nonsense to you anymore. Give me my money and go! I can't stay here long. I have to leave soon."

Nadia has no patience.

"You may have this money, but you must tell the truth. Four years ago, on a ship, you unhesitatingly drugged him so you could fuck Anthony! I want to know the details of the process!"

The last time she had been on a cruise ship, Natalie had caught the faintest trace of memory.

She was also drugged and vaguely recalled the broken glass in her memory.

It was because of this bad memory that she accidentally met Nadia alone to find out the truth that year.

Nadia was confused when she heard those words, and her hand that was holding the cigarette trembled slightly.

"Did Anthony tell you that I drugged him? Hahaha, I knew he would say that. He lied to you, I didn't drug him at all..."

Natalie smiled twice. "Nadia, don't pretend! This is your son and Anthony's DNA test report. It is said that the two people are not related by blood at all!"

Natalie immediately took the document from her bag and threw it in Nadia's face.

That day, the boy lost his teeth. Natalie takes Anthony's teeth and hair and entrusts Harry to a DNA test.

The result was completely unexpected.

Nadia saw the medical report that fell on the ground and was stunned for a long time.

It seems the conspiracy has been exposed.

A trace of ferocity flashed across her eyes. Sh suddenly pushed Natalie with her hand and reached out for the black plastic bag.

Natalie reached out her hand calmly and removed the mask on Nadia's face.

Natalie was surprised to see this.

This face!!

She wanted to know what Nadia's face looked like. But she didn't expect to see a shattered face.

Her right face was burned by the sulfuric acid solution, leaving a tentacle-like scar that extended from her face to her ear.

Nadia was also taken aback. She stopped chasing the bag of money and covered her face tightly with her hands.

She crouched in the corner, held her face in her hands and breathed desperately.

"What's wrong with you?" It took Natalie a long time to recover.

Nadia suddenly burst into tears. Then she rolled up her long sleeves. Her arm was covered with razor scars. She continued to cry in despair.

"Yeah, you're right. I fell in love with Anthony. You can see that this is the price I paid for loving him. I almost killed myself for it, but he didn't care. This man had a heart of stone. Even when I was dying in hospital, he won't even come to see me..."

Nadia continued to wail, and her expression was painful and desperate. "Did you see my face? Do you think it's terrible? I used to be the same as you. My face is very beautiful. Otherwise, I won't be able to become the assistant to the president of Gratia. You're all the same, you, Joana, and the other young ladies all thought that Anthony would fall in love with you. Stop dreaming and wake up!

Mrs. Stevano won't let you go as she pleases. She crushed my face, that evil woman also imprisoned me in a foreign country, so I could never return. This is the price I paid, and it is the end of my life, at least I…"

After Nadia said this, she suddenly got up, hugged the black plastic bag, turned around and immediately rushed out.

When Natalie came out, Nadia was already standing on the side of the boat.

"Hate has no end and will never stop until one of the people stops breathing. Don't come to me after you die because I didn't want you to die."

Nadia then jumped out into the sea. Apparently, she didn't fall into the sea but got into the life raft beside the ship and quickly left.

Natalie grabbed the side of the boat and shouted at her. "What are you talking about? Who wants me to die?"

"There's a ticking time bomb on board, and it's about to explode. Don't look for me if you die, I didn't mean to hurt you! Someone else did it."

Nadia accelerated the oar in her hand, and the raft departed swiftly.

Natalie held onto the side of the boat and continued to watch it drift away. During the period of arguing with Nadia, the ship had left the dock quite a distance and drifted into the sea.

Time bomb?

Natalie was a little confused. What is Nadia doing?

The sky became overcast, the wind grew stronger, and the waves in the sea got higher. Natalie felt it when she got on the boat. Today's weather was terrible, but she didn't expect it to get worse so quickly.

She held the ship's side, her long skirt flew, and raindrops fell from time to time from the sky.

It looks like a storm is coming.

She quickly hid in the cabin.

The radio inside immediately played its warnings from time to time. "A hurricane warning was issued. The biggest typhoon of the season is imminent in a nearby ocean area. Please make sure to return to the harbour for shelter from the wind and waves..."

At this time, Natalie completely ignored the threat of the typhoon. She's looking for a ticking time bomb at the bottom of the ship.

The wind and waves shook the ship, she almost fell several times. Finally, she found a time bomb beside the ship's engine.

The countdown on it showed that there were twenty minutes left. At this moment, her mind was completely blank.

…

The whole of Surabaya has been drenched in heavy rain.

In the midst of regular meetings, Anthony could not sit still. His eyes kept jumping the whole time. A trace of inexplicable heartache flashed past. He stood up. "That's all for today. Meeting over!"

He turned to look at the pouring rain outside and thought of Natalie asking for a day off this afternoon. In the pouring rain, he didn't know whether the girl was carrying an umbrella or not.

Stepping out of the conference room, Joana came. "President, I received some documents from headquarters today. I feel there are some issues with this document. I want to talk to you in detail!"

"Okay!"

Joana followed Anthony to the president's office.

Joana immediately showed the document. "President, look..."

When he looked up, Anthony's deep eyes continued to look out the window.

The strong wind mixed with the rainstorm hit the window panes hard, and the whole city gradually seemed to blur in the glass.

When it rained last time, he remembered that that woman walked in the rain like a wandering soul.

There was also another rainy night, he waited stupidly under the bus stop alone.

This girl is stubborn. No matter how difficult things were, she would not ask for her help.

He took out his cell phone and texted Natalie. "Natalie, it's pouring rain right now. Have you brought an umbrella?"

Joana bit her lower lip and still made a soft sound. "President, take a look at this document..."

"Continue..."

Anthony answered subconsciously and looked at his phone every few seconds to see if Natalie had replied.
