Echoes Of a Forsaken Heart (Natalia and Hamilton)

Chapter 9

Chapter 9 

The morning sun had barely peeked over the horizon when Natalia’s doorbell chimed, rousing her from a restless sleep. Standing on her doorstep with a warm smile was the executive assistant from the office. 

“Good morning. Ms. Jenkins. Mr. Fowler has arranged for you to have a check–up today,” she said, her tone polite yet friendly. 

Natalia nodded, her voice still groggy, “Thanks, I appreciate it.” 

They arrived at the clinic, where the sight of Scarlett by the blood draw station eased Natalia’s nerves. After the blood work, the assistant suggested grabbing a bite to eat. 

“Mr. Fowler mentioned you could take today off,” she said, her eyes scanning Natalia for a 

reaction. 

“Sounds good to me,” Natalia agreed without hesitation, her mind already on the other matters she had to attend to. 

They parted ways, and Natalia made a beeline for the diner where she had agreed to meet Lionel. 

“What can I get ya?” Lionel asked as soon as Natalia slid into the booth opposite him. 

“Just water, thanks,” she replied, keeping it simple. 

Lionel flagged down the waitress and ordered a glass of ice water for Natalia. She took a sip and got straight to the point. 

“You mentioned you needed my help with something. What’s up?” Natalia asked, a playful smirk dancing on her lips. “I didn’t get the details before, but you weren’t about to ask me to go jewelry shopping with you, were you?” 

Lionel chuckled and shook his head. “No, it’s actually something serious.” He slid a document across the table to her. “Could you help me translate this?” 

Natalia paused, surprised, as she picked up the document and skimmed through the Italian legal jargon. 

“What’s this about?” she asked, her curiosity piqued.
