Chapter 741 - Seven Hundred And Fourty-one: The Escape (2/2)

The sniper was no other than Jean who was ordered to eliminate Natasha by Isabella. Just as Isabella guessed, Pedro had gone to Julie for help and his men were competent enough to track down Natasha where she was hiding all this while. All Jean did was to follow Julie's men, waiting patiently like a panther, and after they had done the work, he was ready to steal the prey.

Truth be told, Jean was a straight shot and was capable enough to shoot down Natasha even when one of Julie's men had her. But he wanted to give Natasha a fighting chance, the woman might be in the wrong for forcing herself on Pedro but the child wasn't - he was innocent.

Hence, her survival tonight depended on her luck and the capability of Julie's men to protect her. He promised to never harm innocent children and although he couldn't back down from the order, he could at least give her a chance.

He saw her escaping and shot at her several times but Natasha was desperate to live and successfully evaded him until she vanished from his line of focus. Isabella would not be happy with him, however, she shouldn't have forced his hands. Perhaps, she knew he wouldn't be able to do it in the first place - she just wanted to see where his allegiance lied.

Natasha ran without looking back. She took advantage of the shortcuts and alleyways. Now, she was finally away from Mrs. D and Pedro's people altogether, she had to escape. This was the perfect opportunity to seek the freedom she wanted and as well protect her child from those evil people.

She finally came out into the main road and as luck would have it, spotted a police patrol car.

Oh, thank God, Natasha was relieved. Tears of joy filled her eyes and she hurriedly waved her hands crazily trying to flag them down. The police would protect her.

As soon as the police car stopped in front of her, one of them lowered the window and she shouted immediately.

”Officer, I need help!”

”Hey, calm down,” He gestured at her, ”What's going on? Speak slowly and try to catch your breath,”

Natasha took a deep breath, ”My name is Natasha and I was abducted from my home. Some bad people are after me and I only managed to escape here when a fight broke out. Please, I need your help, I can't let them find me! I'm pregnant!” She cried out and was ready to kneel if that would move their heart.

The officer who lowered the window finally came down and placed both hands on her shoulders assuredly,

”Don't worry, you're safe now and we wouldn't let anything happen to you,”

”Thank you,” she was grateful. For the first time in a long time, Natasha finally saw the light at the end of the tunnel.

”You should ride with us,” He gestured to their car,” Since it's late already, you should spend the night at the station where we would keep watch over you - your safety matters first. When the morning comes, we'll launch an investigation into your case. Are you good with that? ”

”Yes, it's perfect,” Natasha nodded, not that she had a choice anyway. But it was much safer to be with the police than those gangsters who had no regard for the law.

The officer opened the door for her and she went into the back seat where she stayed all by herself while the officer returned to the front seat where his partner was the driver.

Natasha finally let down her guard, she was safe now.

They drove for a while and exhaustion swept over Natasha because the adrenaline that kept her running had expired plus the fact it was late and a pregnant woman like her was supposed to be asleep, not running away from her abductors.

Natasha was about to doze off when she felt the car suddenly stop and she looked out only to realize that it wasn't the station.

”Huh?” She was curious about the reason for the sudden stop when the door was opened from outside and an all too familiar face climbed into the car causing all blood to drain off her face.

Oh no, they all were in cahoots, it dawned on her.

”Had fun running away, Natasha,” Mrs. D smiled darkly at her.

Natasha gulped.
