Chapter 693 - Six Hundred And Ninety-Three: The Confession (2/2)

Isabella's eyes snapped open the instant she sensed the change in her environment, someone was in her room. She didn't have to raise an alarm because a familiar cologne hit her nostrils and she knew it was Pedro instantly.

To be honest, after he had left, Isabella wondered if she had gone too far with her actions. But she thought it over, this was a case of cheating and her partner had hidden it from her. No punishment was sufficient.

She sat up saying, ”I thought I told you that I don't want to see you in my….”

Isabella trailed off because she was treated to the sight of Pedro getting down to his knees. Her jaw dropped while she stood still. The only time Pedro had ever used his knees on the floor was to propose to her, but now?

”What are you doing?” Isabella was dumbfounded by his move.

Yet Pedro didn't say a word, his face was lowered because he didn't dare to look her in the eyes.

”Get up,” she commanded him.

Yet he didn't move from his spot and that infuriated her.

Isabella got down from the bed and got down to her knees as well, grasping his face with her palm, ”If you're going to apologize to me for cheating, do it properly by looking me in the eyes. What kind of bastard does that?!” She yelled at his face.

Pedro did as she said, slowly lifting his eyes to reveal the pain in there and that made Isabella's breath hitch, her financé was hurting.

”H-hey,” Her hand cupping his face trembled. Even though she wasn't the one crying, Isabella felt as if someone was squeezing her chest from inside out. This was simply crazy. She was supposed to be the one yelling his head off for cheating on her, but then here she was feeling empathic.

”I'm so sorry,” Pedro apologized profusely, ”I didn't mean to hide it from you but I just didn't want to hurt you, Isabella,”

”I know,” Isabella nodded

Pedro grasped her face this time although his hands were shaking, ”You can't do anything you want to me, Isabella, hit me, slap me, but please don't leave me. I don't think I can do it without you,” He cried.

For the first time, Isabella was left with no words to say. She at once hugged him tight, ”It's okay, I'll punish you later”

Pedro pulled apart, ”Please believe me when I tell you that you're the only one I love in this life and would ever be with. Whatever happened between Natasha and me was all orchestrated by her. I don't know what happened but she -”

”I know, Pedro,” Isabella said.

”I would never cheat on you, Isabella,” Pedro hoped she saw through his sincerity.

”Yes, I know,”

”And the wedding...?”

”It would go on as planned,” Isabella was firm in her decision, ”There was never a time I was going to give you up to that woman. Pedro, we've come a long way to stop now,”

Pedro was so stunned, he asked, ”You're still going to go ahead with the marriage even when you know she's pregnant for me?”

”Of course, ” her head jerked up,”Wait - what?!”
