her future.
Maybe – maybe not.
Chapter Sixteen
N
atasha knew she couldn’t do much more than she had.
She had laid her mind games to rest for a bit to exact the miscarriage story,
and so far she was grateful for being such a good liar. She had Tyler signed
off from work with compassionate leave and her family and Tyler’s were all
there for the grieving mother-to-be. Even Austin’s mother had given condolences
and even spent a moment to speak about how she was completely done with her
daughter. Natasha had to withhold from smiling at how everything was now
falling into place.
There was just one person that didn’t seem to be reacting to all of this
– Austin. She had made no signs of leaving town and Natasha knew she wouldn’t
be done until she saw the back of Austin as she left this place once and for
all.
After claiming she needed fresh air, Natasha took off towards Tyler and
Austin’s little creation. Right now she was going to sabotage the house
and take away the one thing that kept Tyler and Austin bound together. She knew
if there was no house then there was no need for the pair to be together at any
time. He barely spoke about her now, didn’t even make it seem like he wanted to
go to her. No, Tyler was void of anything now when it came to Austin, Natasha
knew she had won, but she wanted to secure this for good. She peeled away a bit
more of the wallpaper to the dining room, cracked a window to create a new
draft, left paint drops on the newly varnished flooring and then kicked the
rest of the can over. She loosened the faucets so they dripped, she smashed
several of the windows, turned the heating up, took down curtains and just
because she could, she made a few dents in the walls. She did petty and
damaging things. Anything to reverse the effort that was complete already in
the house and it was working as Tyler became more and more frustrated with the
house.
Walking into what would obviously be the master bedroom; she looked
around and saw the work that still had to be done. She was more or less
tallying up ways in which she could end this little hobby of Tyler and Austin’s
once and for all, and right now she had a long list of ways to stop that.
Natasha knew she could begin losing Tyler from her life. The presence of
Austin could well suck him back in and she knew it was do or die now. Even though
he was looking after her during this difficult time, Natasha could feel the
distance gathering between her and Tyler. He might not show any cares for
Austin and what was going on with her, but that didn’t mean he was doting on
her. He was just there . If there was one thing Natasha knew about
herself, it was that she was a sore loser and by sore, she meant she never lost
to anyone and never to Austin.
Today was not going to start that.
She knew that Tyler had now fallen for her lies, she knew it wouldn’t be hard to finally push him over the edge and watch as
Austin’s hopes for repentance with Tyler – and to add to the enjoyment her
family - were finally dashed. The wheels were already sent in motion, the
final result was vastly coming towards them all and by the end of it, Austin Pearson would be public enemy number one in this
town.
Now she had to go and fix the last little bit of her plan publicly.
Mission ‘ Get Austin out of town ’ was very nearly complete – and
if it wasn’t, well she had to fix that.
Chapter Seventeen
WHEN the Pearson siblings
thought of how their life would pan out, this was not what any of them had
thought it would be like. Here they were reunited with their sister, closer
with their father, and almost forgotten by their mother. They had watched their
mother battle with her emotions and her restraint. They had seen her almost
cave to accept Austin back, and now they had seen her cut all ties and all
because of Natasha Truman.
They knew they could follow the status quo and agree with the town, that
because one person had said it,
Maybe – maybe not.
