so so chapter im glad she told him the truth though. can't wait for the next read.

I do not like Jameson. They have only been dating for four months and nothing Nat has done has shown him that she loves him or is ready for that step. Who would propose to someone who has not said I love you once. Did he even tell her that he loved her in the time they were dating before he proposed? Because if not, it makes it seem like Nat is some sort of big fish/unicorn that he can feel slipping away and what's to wrangle her in and not let her go. I honestly feel like Nat unfortunately and unknowingly surrounds herself with people who think they know better than her in terms of Nat's personal and love lives and think that their interference is ok. Taking Barbara's word for Natalia's feelings with out ever talking about those feelings or the topic of marriage with Natalia before hand is just preposterous. And my poor boo Nat keeps falling for the okey doke because Jamison is good on paper but the chemistry doesn't seem to be there and the lack of tact and true concern for if she is emotionally ready for such a step seem to be second hand concerns to his wants for keeping his ring on her finger.

Keep these updates coming because I do want Natalia to win, she doesn't have to be with Anthony and I damn sure hope she doesn't end up with Barbara's man in waiting, but I want her to go for what she wants unapologetically and without feeling that she has to explain her choice or make a choice to please others.

I want to feel some sympathy for Natalia or like her at least a little bit, but I can't. This is proof that no matter the age, some people will just never get it right. They will continue to be pathetic, stupid and keep making the same mistake over and over again. The people around Natalia will continue to think that she needs to be led through life because that is the impression that she give people, and she also allows it. This stunt of Jamison of proposing to her after only dating a couple of months and clearly also knowing that she is not ready for something as serious as marriage, should be a warning for her. He may be nice and seems perfect, but its also obvious that he manipulative. Being nice and sweet is what he use and will continue to use to gain Natalia's sympathy and do exactly what he wants. And Natalie being a little dense and slow falls in to it. I'm glad that she was at least honest with him about not wanting to marry him, but in a way she is leading him on. She deserves to be happy with someone, but he is clearly not ready for that. In my opinion she needs to be single for a while instead of jumping in to a relationship.

As for her sister, Natalia needs to confront her and cutting her of off her life after this. Her sister clearly did not get the message the first time. If after months of not being on speaking terms with her after what she had done, didn't change her, then she will never change. I know that Barb is her sister and that she love her. But its also obvious that Barb has no respect for her and will continue to but in to her life. Natalia needs to mature and learn to stand up for herself and get rid of people who constantly insist in running her life.

So happy she told him the truth. And I'm even happier he's so understanding. That line about him being bad in bed had me looking at Jamison a little different *wags eyebrows suggestively*. And Barbara’s finna get these hands if she doesn’t learn how to stay in her own lane. This was short and sweet. Loved it.

Oh Lord, Nat! She REALLY should not lead him on. Jamison seems like a cool dude. Well, she did turn down the proposal after the fact which is good, but Jamison deserves better. He seems to be really in love with Nat and I think Nat likes him and even loves him, but as you would love a friend not someone you want to settle with or marry. Why does Nat keep going from one man to another. I mean hey, she is a grown woman and deserves to be happy. That being said she needs to get her head screwed on right and herself together. Is being alone for a little while so bad when you clearly have a problem? Nat needs to fly solo for a while. Jamison deserves someone who loves him in return. Not just a friendly love either. Anyway, great update!

if there was any doubt before know that i DEEETEST Barf *cough* i mean Barb - i just cant! i have no words. the way she lied straight to Natalia's face simly irks me to the MAX. Jamison is a phony! patient and loving my ass...!  he knew exactly where Natalia stood and yet he ambushed her - in front of their families

to me he's like everyone else who seem to think that Natalia needs to be led through life - as if she's a child that doesnt know any better. i would get that if she had been deadly sick as a baby or something but she's not. Talia is stronger then most think. she has been riped apart time and time again - these people dont know anything...!

so out of the blue - i was wondering if you're going to introduce us to Barf's *coughs* i mean Barb's hubby kline? i know he was mentioned briefly previous and that he's sick or something?

other than that - thank you for another brilliant brillant read! :D

You know what Jamison was already getting on my nerves earlier but now this.  This was a complete set up and he is a low down, sneaky, snake in the grass as my grandma would've said.   Dude is not genuine and is a slick mofo.  If he was a true person he would've waited more than freakin' 2 mos to propose.  You know darn good and well she is not ready to marry anyone right now.  Her sister still a biatch and conniving ass hoe.  Why do I still think Jamison and her sister have something going on.  Idk why?!  I hope she gives him back his ring as soon as they return to her house and curse his ass out for this bullshit.  Great story and I'm here til the end.  

I think Natalia has good instincts, and she should have listened to them. I also think she should disown her lying sister Barbara who is no sister at all.  You know, Jamison seems a wonderful man who has just about everything, but he bulldozed her into this engagement, over her EXPRESS objections.  In other words he is VERY Controlling now and will be in the future.  Unless she wants this type of relationship in her future, I hope she breaks off this forced "engagement."  I think Anthony is her man and I hope that they can find their way back to each other. 

Nyeesha

This is exactly what I meant when I said that Natalia needs to grow up and that she allows everyone to run roughshod over. She had no interest in meeting the good doctor's parents yet there she was. She let it go when Jamison surprised her with his whole clan. Then she did not say a word to him about her parents being there. Natalia needs to communicate better. 

I think she should be alone, rather than messing with Jamieson's heart. He's not the bad guy, never was, but she's coming across as sociopathic to me. I feel her heart is so damaged. Maybe she needs therapy. 

*clutches pearls*Just when I thought it couldn't get any angstier....

and with that said I am tucked in!lol Great update Joelle.

OMG!!! She knew it and that damn sister is so stupid!! Natalia doesn't need to be married again yet. She's still recovering, confused, and not in love with Jamison yet! Doesn't he understand that?! Ugh. Now she feels trapped. Poor Natalia I mean how do you say no in front of all his family and hers? I can't wait until the next chapter.  I'm glad you pushed it out 7 months. I gives us a chance to see what's happened since the breakup and I'm glad you did that!!! Update soon!! :)
