Chapter 700 - Seven Hundred : Tell The Truth (2/2)
”Isabella would not let her live,” Julie was sincere with Pedro.
”I know,” Pedro said, ”That was why I was trying to keep it buried forever after having the baby aborted. Unfortunately, the foolish gold digger didn't even realize I was trying to save her life,”
Pedro knew with Isabella's power and background, she could end Natasha and no one would even blink about her disappearance. She had the resources and the knowledge about that - that was how scary Isabella was.
”Have you told your parents?” Julie inquired.
”It would be much more problematic if my mother finds out about this. You know how much she wants a grandchild, she would take her in without blinking twice -”
”And your marriage to Isabella is over,” Julie figured it all out.
Isabella was too proud and would never marry Pedro as far as that woman would be there as the mother of his child.
”You should tell Niklaus then,” Julie suggested and Pedro looked at him as if he had finally gone crazy.
”Are you kidding me right now?” Pedro didn't believe he would come up with such a ridiculous idea.
”Niklaus loves his daughter too much and for sure would break one of your legs or one of them before finally listening to your side of your story. But then, if there's any man who can stop Isabella, it's her father,”
”But that would mean I no longer have a future with Isabella. He would never let me near her,” He glanced up at Julie, ”I'm sorry but I think I would keep this secret amongst us,”
”Pedro,” Julie called him, ”You're playing with fire here. Sometimes the truth can be more liberating than you think,”
Pedro ran his hand through his hair. He was stressed and had run out of options except one, ”Isabella would never tell Niklaus, thus buying time for me to solve this whole thing before it escalates. That is why I need your help. You have many eyes and ears in places I cannot reach,”,
”You can still tell the truth. Isabella loves you and she has more than enough reason not to leave you,” Julie still tried to change his mind.
Pedro threw his hands up, ”Reasons like what?”
”Like your child she's carrying!” Julie said of course in his mind. The Isabella he knew would never let the position of her child be occupied by another.
”You just have a little faith and come clean is all I'm saying,” He said instead.
”Are you helping me or not?” Pedro demanded.
”Fine, I'll help you out,” Julie agreed. Since he wanted this way, he had no choice but to help out a friend in distress.
”So what happens when you get your hands on her?” He added, ”Just so you know, I'm not into human trafficking,”
”She raped me,” Pedro informed him.
”Still no, I have my code of morals,” Julie stood his ground.
”I just want the child aborted and she sent to a faraway country where she would be unable to return,”
”Fine. Consider it then,” Julie said and then picked up his phone to make an important call.. Nor did any of them notice Annabelle behind them and was cupping her mouth so as not to make a noise.
