Dumping Him for His Uncle (Natasha and Zachary) novel Chapter 87

After Natasha did everything he asked, Zachary finally left contentedly.

Natasha couldn't help but feel that their entire conversation had been absurd. He had helped her so much, yet in the end, all he asked was to be unblocked from her social feed.

For half an hour after he left, Natasha stayed seated, trying to figure out where things had gone wrong.

…

As the night deepened, the sea breeze rushed in from an open window.

Natasha had just showered, and her hair was still wet. She figured she'd apply the ointment before dealing with the hair dryer.

The room was quiet as she completely focused on tending to her injury. Suddenly, a noise came from the direction of the bathroom.

From the noise, Natasha guessed it was the sound of a mirror breaking. For a moment, she stood frozen in place.

She then cautiously reached out to feel for her phone. However, before she could even touch it, the power in the room suddenly went out. Left in total darkness, Natasha had to fumble faster to find her phone.

Just as she was about to unlock her phone, a dark shadow darted past her. She felt something cold press against her.

Natasha realized too late that someone was right behind her. And the terrifying part was that Natasha hadn't sensed a thing. It was as if the person had materialized out of thin air.

"W-Who are you?" Natasha gulped nervously, not daring to turn around.

"Cut the crap. Find me a place to hide." The man's voice came from behind her.

It was strangely calm and quiet.

With her life in his hands, Natasha had no choice but to comply. She said, "There's a cabinet in the bedroom. It's big enough for someone to fit in."
