Echoes of a Forsaken Heart novel Chapter 249

After splitting from Natalia, Hamilton made his way straight to the Chamber Nightclub. He parked his car but didn't head inside. Instead, he rolled down the window and lit a cigarette. It wasn't long before he saw Mr. Martinez emerge with a group of staff, escorting a handful of people out of the club, Orpheus among them.

Hamilton caught a glimpse of Orpheus, but quickly looked away, remaining nonchalant as he took another drag of his cigarette. Orpheus, noticing Hamilton, began to struggle violently.

"It's you, Hamilton! You're the reason for this mess! My old man won't let this slide! He said the Fowler family's future was in my hands, you just wait, Hamilton!"

The staff, seeing the commotion, pinned Orpheus to the ground and handcuffed him. That's when Hamilton stepped out of his car, approached Orpheus, and ruthlessly stepped on his hand, eliciting a scream of agony. He then pressed his cigarette onto Orpheus's arm.

"Hamilton, you bastard, let me go! What right do you have?"

With a sinister smile, Hamilton ground his heel into Orpheus's hand before turning to Mr. Martinez, "Caught him red-handed then?"

Mr. Martinez replied, "Indeed, but I suspect your grandfather will hear of this soon enough. Either way, it's a win for us."

Hamilton nodded his thanks before instructing Alden, "Break his limbs, then take him to the old man."

Alden hesitated, "But what about grandpa?"

Hamilton's response was cold, "Let him think the drugs did it."

As Hamilton threatened further violence, Orpheus's screams filled the air once more. Hamilton then casually returned to his car and drove off.

Meanwhile, Natalia had just been dropped off by Killian at her apartment. She inquired about when Hamilton might arrive, to which Killian suggested she could call Mr. Fowler himself. Their brief exchange revealed the substantial pay gap between Natalia and Killian, leaving Natalia somewhat embarrassed.

Soon after, Hamilton arrived, and without rushing, cleaned his hands with a wet wipe before greeting Natalia warmly, a stark contrast to the cold figure he'd just been. He invited her up for dinner, prepared by the housekeeper with all of Natalia's favorites, a gesture of warmth amidst their complicated relationship.

During dinner, Hamilton barely ate, instead focusing on Natalia, filling her plate with food, and expressing concern for her upcoming trip to Ylandia, ensuring she was well-prepared for the cooler climate there. Despite her protests, Hamilton's care was evident, his gaze filled with an undeniable warmth.

As they headed to the airport, Hamilton's phone incessantly rang with calls from "Grandfather," but he ignored them, choosing instead to focus on Natalia, ensuring her comfort until the very last moment before her departure.

Hamilton smoothly parked the car and without a second thought, locked the doors.

Natalia was taken aback.
