Chapter 441: Natalie's Truth
By age fourteen, Natalie had fallen in love with Kate. Or so she believed in her twisted head. She was a loyal
puppy who would do anything she wanted as long as she got rewarded in the end. She bechighly protective
of Kate, craved Kate's attention like a drug, and couldn't do without her.
By age fifteen, Natalie had begun to resent her father. David had no right to Kate—she, Natalie, was the one who
she loved. So the quarrels with her father started.
David could not understand where all the attitude was coming from. Of course he couldn't. Not when Natalie
kept a tight lip on what the problem was. So one night, Natalie's jealousy got to a fever point. She took a knife
and attempted to stab David while he was asleep with Kate.
Natalie wasn’t scared of Kate finding out what she did. She did it for her. Because she loved her.
Unfortunately, the wound was shallow, and David had been quick to wake and overpower her, thus saving his
life. The incident was kept under wraps, but the damage had been done.
David sent her to Lunaris Academy. Yes, the school was her punishment and prison. Her father could only feel
safe knowing she would be back only on holidays.
Being away from Kate was hell, and like a junkie, she suffered withdrawals. It got so bad that she escaped from
school one day just to see Kate, but the woman had sent security who bundled her back to school and ensured
she couldn't escape again.
Natalie felt betrayed. She could have done anything for Kate. And yet, she treated her like that.
Settling down in Lunaris Academy, she got to hear about the Counselor that made one’s problems go away.
Natalie was in a bad place, and she just wanted everything to go away, even if it was for a second.
So Natalie booked a "session" with him. Mid-passion, unknown to her, Micah stole her memories. However, it was
so twisted that Micah blurted, "You fuck your stepmother?"
Just like that, the truth was out.
He knew what she did.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAnd she knew what he could do.
Unknown to most people, Micah was a real counselor, even though he had a "side" job. He was the one who
helped her realize the wrong path she was on.
Not once did he ever judge her. Perhaps an incubus with a thirst for sex and a human in a forbidden relationship
with her stepmother had too many similarities, and made the best friendship after all.
For the first two years at Lunaris, her relationship with Kate was "on" and "off" during the holidays. Kate resented
her for trying to kill her husband—yet she still couldn't keep her hands off her. Micah tried to help, but the urge
was stronger. No matter how hard Natalie fought it, she kept giving in.
So Micah gave her a strategy: stay away from temptation, aka home. Aka Kate.
It was hard. Natalie had been entangled with Kate for a long time. Letting go of that kind of bond wasn’t easy.
But Micah stayed by her side. And she was winning, until now.
Kate's voice turned into a purr, soft and coaxing. "I know the past years have been tough on us, and you resent
much."
While Kate spoke, her hand was already sliding along Natalie's thigh. Natalie stiffened, goosebumps breaking out
across her skin.
"Stop this!" She roared, but it was only in her head. Why couldn't she just say it out loud? What was wrong with
her? Why couldn't she just stop her?
"And | know you missedtoo, beneath all that tough exterior," Kate whispered, her palm now sneaking
underneath. She tugged Natalie's panties aside and ran a finger through her slit.
Natalie's breath hitched in her throat.
It wasn’t just repulsion that hit her. It was the memories. All of them. Everything they'd done, everything she'd
allowed. Everything Kate had made her think was love. She was caught in the sensation again.
The passion was rising until a sharp and jarring knock ripped through the moment.
Natalie jerked back to herself.
She shoved Kate away, scrambled for the door and opened it to Jameson's expectant face.
"What's keeping you—"
But Natalie brushed past her without a word.
She didn’t return to lunch. Natalie didn’t even look back. She took off so fast that no one even realized she was
gone until they'd waited long enough.

Then she grabbed her toothbrush, smeared it with paste immediately, and began to scrub hard.
Natalie brushed and brushed until her gums bled and her mouth burned. And that’s when Micah found her.
Of course, he found out.
"Natalie!" Micah shouted, rushing to her. He grabbed the brush from her hand and flung it away. His arms went
around her just as she broke down.
"| feel so dirty!" she cried, her whole body shaking. "I feel so dirty!"
"Shh," he whispered, holding her tight. "You're not dirty. She's the dirty one. It's high tyou told the truth,
Natalie."
"I don’t know, Micah..." she sobbed. "I'm so scared. I'm so scared."
