Chapter 700 - Seven Hundred : Tell The Truth (1/2)
The third point of view:
For over a minute after Julie and Pedro made it outside, none of them said a word to each other. Bored by the taunt silence, Julie picked out a stick of cigarette from the pack and put one in his mouth before offering him, ”Want one?”
Pedro glanced down at the cigarette stick and turned away disinterested.
”Oh, I forget that you're a righteous man,” Julie taunted him.
Pedro said to him, ”Watch your liver and lungs, at this rate you would die before you get to marry Anabelle,”
Julie chuckled, ”Don't worry about me, buddy, you should be more concerned about your marriage that's crumbling before it even began,”
At that comment, Pedro snatched the light cigarette from Julie's mouth.
”Hey, you've never -!” Julie tried to stop him but the distraught Pedro had already taken a long puff of the cigar and then began to cough profusely.
”Oh God,” Julie groaned, he had not come here to comfort a broken-hearted friend, ”This is why you should not take substances you have no clue about,”
He tossed the cigarette away and squatted down as he began to rub Pedro who was still coughing on the back. His eyes were red and tears seemed like it was ready to gush out any moment.
”Please don't die on me else Isabella hunts me down, ”Julie was truly concerned for Pedro's well-being because it would determine his survival. He was not ready to take on the white witch.
”I'm not going to die,” Pedro said with effort and then to Julie's shock, began to cry.
”I'm damned,” Julie muttered as he watched his fellow male begin to cry like a baby. He said it, only Isabella had the great ability to turn a man into this. Crying for a woman was the last thing he would do, Julie was sure of that.
”Fine, it's alright,” He comforted Pedro.
”I messed up big time,”
”Just spill it. I'm sure it's something that we can solve,” Julie was sure.
”Not this one,” Pedro shook his head with a sad smile, ”I can't solve this one without hurting Isabella either way,”
”Hurt her either way?” Julie's brows furrowed, ”What are you talking about?”
Pedro sighed, ”I seem to have gotten a lady pregnant,”
”You got a lady preg.....” Julie trailed off when he realized what that meant, ”Oh my God,” He gasped.
For sure, he's dead.
Unable to take the shock, Julie picked another cigarette stick and smoked without as much as another word spoken to Pedro till he was done.
”You're doomed,” Julie said to him. He knew Isabella, she would never accept the thought of another woman having shared her husband to be. Not to think of the woman having their baby - especially not when she had one for Pedro as well.
God, this was crazy. Julie never knew a secret could be heavy until now. He wanted to tell Pedro but this was not his secret to tell and he had promised Anabelle as well. Moreover, Isabella would kill him - after killing the woman who slept with her fiancé.
