Cruel Destiny
Chapter 39: Epilogue

Third Person POV

When there is a good time, it passes quickly. But when it gives nothing but pain and misery, it doesn't end.

That's what Liam was feeling when he stopped telling his story to the woman who was working as his physiotherapist.

He didn't need that but that was his mother's last wish. Not that he had heard it from her.

His sister had informed him about it. It had been a long time since he talked to them.

"Then what happened," Tanya asked him curiously.

She sympathized with him. She knew that he had made a mistake and he has been paying for it.

But now years have passed. He should get relief and peace from this life.

When her senior had informed her about his case, she wanted to deny it because there was no hope for him.

'He would never be able to walk 'that's what she had replied to her senior.

But still, he insisted and she wanted to ask so many questions.

'Why does his sister insist that she wanted him to walk? He could never do that' she questioned him

Her senior just sighed and said 'He is my father's friend. My father had hated him but now he forgave him. Please, Tanya.'

She just sighed at that time and accepted it. She remembered the first time she met him.

Even at the age of 66, he was good looking. He was a man of few words until he came out of his shell.

She had seen him talking with a picture and when she asked him about it, he became silent.

He didn't tell her anything about it until recently. When she first heard his deed, she thought that he deserved it.

He had ruined that innocent girl's life but she pitied him after knowing his past with Miranda.

When she heard him coughing, she snapped out of her thoughts. She rushed toward him and gave him some water.

[No corona in the story ]

He had been doing it for some time. She looked at his aged face and saw nothing but misery.

"Thank you, Tanya," he said with a smile on his wrinkled face.

"After that, I didn't let my father meet me. I stopped talking to him and when Adam informed my sister and mother about it, they stopped talking to me as well." He continued

"It was not a good time for me. I had no one. And at that moment, I got to know Natasha had been feeling all along"

"With no support of family or friends, it had gotten hard."

He coughed again. He has not been feeling good lately. He removed his hand and saw blood again.

He took the handkerchief with his shaky hands and wiped it clean. He didn't need a nurse for this, that's why he didn't call her.

"Again?" She asked him with a worried expression.

He just chuckled and said "Don't worry, dear. I am fine. For now,"

"What did the doctor say?" She asked him again.

He just shrugged a little. It was his age of death anyway. Death, which he has been waiting for eagerly.

Maybe it was the time Natasha was talking about. Maybe he will see them soon.

That thought brought a smile to his face. He had waited for this moment for 43 years.

[His age is 70]

He will see his daughter and his love after so many years. He didn't know he was crying until Tanya handed him a tissue. "You are thinking about them again." She stated.

She had known him for 4 years. Now she knew about whenever he cried which means he was thinking about them.

"I always am." He replied to her.

"I am feeling tired, dear. It's my time to sleep." He replied even though he wasn't feeling that sleepy.

He wanted some moments to think. Tanya nodded and said, "I'll meet you tomorrow then."

"I won't be so sure about it." He replied and she gave him a confused stare.

He just shook his head and said "nothing. Goodbye, Tanya."

Still confused, she turned back and went back to her house.

Not knowing that this would be the last time she has ever got to see him.

It was nighttime when the sun descended and the moon took its place instead.

Liam was staring at the ceiling and was coughing badly. The doctor came and took the sample for examination. The results of that will come tomorrow. His life had turned drastically.

All because he had ruined an innocent life. Had he known this would happen, he would have never done that.

But it was his Karma. The last 43 years were the worst years of his life.

No one was there for him. When his family got to know about his deeds, they stopped talking to him.

Her mother asked for a divorce from his father, but his father didn't give her.

She left the house with his sister and never came back until her husband's funeral.

James knights, who could do anything or he thought, was induced with a deadly skin disease.

His father had Pemphigus Vulgaris. The chances of his survival were minimum.

He had died within one year but in that, he had died daily with the pain.

[Pemphigus vulgaris is a rare autoimmune disease that causes painful blistering on the skin and mucous membranes. If you have an autoimmune disease, your immune system mistakenly attacks your healthy tissues.]

He had gone to his funeral as he was his father. But the main reason was to visit Natasha's grave again.

He also met his sister and mother but they behaved like they didn't know him.

He had met Adam 1 year back. He was very happy to see him after so many years.

Adam had finally forgiven him and now he was feeling good. Finally, all was fine between them.

But now they don't have what they really needed. Time. The time which he doesn't have.

His eyes were now feeling heavy. Before sleeping, he whispered the words which he has been mumbling daily.

"I love you, Natasha. Take me with you."

He heard the giggles which he had heard before. He opened his eyes when he felt someone touching his hair.

He woke up and saw that it was

sitting on his bed. She

his hair with her slender

"Hello, Liam."

SWO

With a stunned expression, he just stared at her. He couldn't believe that she was finally here.

The moment he had been waiting for had come. She was still wearing that Angel dress.

"Natasha," he whispered.

She just hummed and said, "You have aged."

"What are you doing here?" He blurted out

She gave him a beautiful smile which made him fall for her all over again.

"I had promised you that I would come to take you with me when your time comes."

She caressed his cheek and whispered, "It's your time."

She S and stretched her

hand to him. Instantly, he her hand afraid that she him.

He couldn't believe that he was using his right hand after so many years.

He stood up on those legs which were broken before. But now they were perfectly fine.

He looked at their joined hand and saw that there were no wrinkles.

She must have noticed his surprised look and took him and made him stand in front of a Mirror.

He couldn't believe what he saw in the mirror. He was just like he was 43 years ago when he was 27.

"Come on, Liam." She said with a smile.

When he turned back, he startled. The old Liam was lying on the bed with a peaceful smile on his face.

She took him to the steps which lead to the place where they would be staying.

She opened the door and entered

and

in told him to wait here. She went

I came back with Scarlett

in her arms.

His lips curled into a smile when he saw his daughter who was in her mother's arms with a beautiful smile.

She was smiling at him. He forwarded his hands to take her but stopped in the middle.

Natasha came forward and handed her to him. He almost cried when his daughter rested her head on his chest.

"She forgave you a long time ago," Natasha told him

"And I forgave you too." She continued with a beautiful smile.

"I am so sorry, Natasha. No matter how many I have said that. I am still sorry." He told her

She just giggled and said, "I have been hearing that too every night."

She forwarded her hand and he grabbed it quickly which made her chuckle.

"Let's start again." She told him.

He just hugged her and now he was happy that he had got what he had been wanting.

His family.

"I love you Natasha and I love you too Scarlett." He whispered and kissed their head.

"We love you too." She replied

Scarlett just yawned and again put her head on his chest, cuddling to him.

They chuckled and went toward their destination where no one could separate them again.

Where no Cruel Destiny exists.
