Natalie was Connor's secret lover and a replacement for his first love Vera for three years, until Vera returned and he ended their contract when she was diagnosed with terminal cancer. She left with dignity, endured Vera's escalating attacks, and rebuilt her life beside old classmate Zayden, while Connor wavered between protection and suspicion. After Vera's criminal schemes collapsed and Natalie suffered a miscarriage, Connor pursued her through treatment. They married, and she survived a final high-risk pregnancy, cancer-free.
