Taken By The Mafia Lord

611 A Stubborn Cockroach To Kill

Damn it!

Natalie had lost count of the number of times she had cursed over and over again. Daniel was hot on her chase and as desperate as she was to get away from him, the more desperate he was to get to her.

It reminded her of that night in the past when she had been close to losing him forever, the night she had chosen to give up on her own life instead. The memories prompted her to push herself faster even when her lungs were on fire and her body protested against any further movement.

She didn’t give up on the past, she can’t give up now.

“Natalie! I know it’s you!” Daniel shouted after her, making her wince inwardly. It was no longer a secret, he knew she was alive.

But then, even if he knows her alive status, then what? It was high time he knew about her resurrection, anyway – She wanted to rub it all over his face. She had successfully fooled him over the years. He wasn’t so smart now, was he?

Moreover, It’s not like she was the same Natalie he knew in the past. Times have changed and so has she. While Daniel had invoked nothing but fear in her during their time together, Eric had brought her to the light and taught her to be brave above all things. She was not going to let the past repeat itself all over again.

Natalie could see the fence now, all she had to do was successfully jump over it and Jason would be waiting at the other side to take her away from her. Jason was right, she should have listened to him. However, if she hadn’t done this, she wouldn’t have known about her daughter and the horrible things the people who were supposed to be her family had done to her.

Freedom was so near and Natalie reached out her hand as if to touch it, only for someone to tackle her to the ground.

.....

Not someone, but Daniel.

“No!” Natalie screeched so loudly that his ears almost burst from the intensity, however, Daniel grabbed onto her legs and pulled her to him. But Natalie twisted around in his grip and kicked him in the guts with her free leg.

It was a good thing she learned how to defend herself while being in Draven’s Clan protection over the years. So when Daniel groaned and fell back, Natalie crawled on her belly, desperate to get on her feet and get away from him.

However, she had forgotten that Daniel was as stubborn as a bull and grabbed her ankle once more and this time pulling her to him with brute force that she yelped while being dragged along. On the floor, Daniel pinned her with his weight, but Natalie was not a quitter.

With all of her strength, Natalie managed to roll him over and began to throw punches at his face, but Daniel held her waist and flipped her over, having her beneath him once again.

“Natalie, stop!” Daniel shouted at her. He just wanted to talk. He was still trying to wrap his head around the fact that she was still alive. How was that possible? The fact that he had her in his arms right now, fresh and blood could only be described as a miracle.

But Natalie was beyond reasoning. She managed to roll him over again and the scene would have looked romantic if she wasn’t trying so hard to kill him.

“Die, you monster!” Natalie grabbed his throat with her hands, attempting to strangle him and that was when Daniel realized that she wasn’t joking at all.

He quickly knocked her arms away and flipped her over so she was beneath him and grabbed her hands, pinning them above her before she could retaliate. Daniel straddled her and stopped her from moving as Natalie struggled and grunted beneath him all to no avail.

“Calm down,” He told her.

“I would only calm down when you’re dead,” She hissed at him and Daniel was taken aback at the ferocity in her eyes. Natalie looked like she could murder him right now if she had a gun.

However, Daniel looked past her aggressiveness and traced her face with his hand while she tried to shy away from his touch as much as she could. This was not exactly how Natalie imagined their reunion would look like and neither did she like her helpless state. This was not like the past; Natalie refused to be his captive once again.

“It’s really you... ” Daniel whispered with a longing in his eyes. If Natalie wasn’t mistaken, she would have dared say it was affection she saw in those eyes.

“Yes, it’s me, the one and only Natalie,” She affirmed for him with a taunting tone.

“How is this possible? I thought you were dead?”

Natalie chuckled dryly, “Oh, I’m so much alive and you don’t know how much I’ve counted down to the day I would meet you so I would end your pathetic life!”

And with those words being said, Natalie reared forward and headbutted him, the both of them groaning in pain, however, Natalie was a lady on a mission and there was no going back.

She scrambled away from him, but, Shockingly, the both of them got up on their feet at the same time. But enough was enough and Natalie pulled out the gun from her waistband and aimed it at him with determination

Daniel’s brows raised at the scene and he halted his steps, raising his hands in surrender. However, a slow smirk curled his lips as he said, “Oh come on, Natalie, we both know that you can’t -”

Bam!

It felt like a film to Daniel when a sharp pain coursed through him and he slowly looked down to discover he was bleeding from the side, he then lifted his face at her in shock.

Did she just shoot him?

Daniel staggered back.

Natalie sneered coldly, “This is what I should have done years back,”

She lifted her gun to finish him off when a bullet whizzed past her, missing her by mere inches and Natalie discovered his people were here for him.

Without a second thought, Natalie fired a warning shot to cover her while she ran and like a skilled assassin, found the weakest spot on the wall and jumped over it before they could get to her. She only hoped that shot was enough to kill Daniel.

But even Natalie knew inwardly that Daniel was a stubborn cockroach to kill.
