Chapter 744 - Seven Hundred And Fourty-four: Who Has Her? (2/2)

”Okay, I'm lost here. What's going on?” Anabelle was the one left behind on the reason for the occasion. There was tension in the air like a stretched balloon about to burst. It made her uncomfortable.

”You shot at my men?!” Julie accused her.

Anabelle's eyes grew wide, ”You did what?!” She looked at Isabella like she had grown two heads, ”How is that possible? We spent the night together, how could you have snuck out?” she gasped, ”Or did you drug me so I could sleep on while you went out to shoot Julie's men? Why did you shoot his men? You're pregnant for God's sake…..”

At once, Anabelle's eyes grew to the size of the moon when she realized she just let the cat out of the bag, cupping her mouth instantly.

Julie's anger vanished the way water douses a flame. Who was stupid enough to tell Anabelle a secret? Well, he guessed it was a tie - Isabella hurt his men, now her secret was out. He calls it karma.

Isabella died at that spot. She always knew Anabelle would land her in hot trouble and she finally did it. God knows she would have killed Anabelle if she didn't have company right now - for one, Julie wouldn't let her do it.

Pedro looked like a bomb was dropped on him. What did he just hear? Isabella was pregnant? She was pregnant for him? She was having their baby?

”Oh my God,” He gasped as it hit him, ”Is that true?” Pedro asked no one in particular. He just needed confirmation.

Anabelle didn't dare to answer having caused enough damage already. She gulped, Isabella was going to kill her. She already sensed Isabella was thinking of a million ways to kill her in that busy mind of hers. God, why can't her big mouth ever shut up? Her mouth would be the death of her.

So Anabelle slowly moved, hoping to jump into Julie's side where she was safe at the moment. However, before she could even move that ass, Isabella commanded in an icy tone, ”Don't you dare,”

Bam!

Her heart pounded in her chest. This is it, she's officially dead. Isabella would skin her alive and there in her gravestone, it would be written, ”There lies Anabelle who died because she couldn't keep her mouth shut,”

Swallowing down the saliva that suddenly became thick in her throat, Anabelle slowly turned to meet Isabella's face filled with a dark smile as she said, ”Since you're so good at spreading information, why don't you do me the favor of wrapping up the story,” She hinted that she should answer Pedro's question.

And Anabelle knew better than to reject. So she said in a rush, ”Yes, it's true that Isabella is pregnant with your child. But don't be angry that she kept the news from you, she had good intentions for doing so! She only wanted to surprise you on your wedding night!” she explained desperately.

Pedro looked straight at his fiancée,” Is that why you didn't want us to have sex anymore? You didn't want me to discover you were carrying our baby,” He intentionally used that pronoun, hinting at the fact that they were very much together no matter the challenge they were encountering.

”Like I said, the secret was only for an appointed time. I would never keep the existence of your child from you unlike you who kept the existence of your other child from me,” She sneered.

”I was only trying to protect you, Isabella. I didn't want to hurt you,” Pedro said.

”Well, I've been very much hurt since I was a kid, so get it over with, Pedro!” Isabella said with gritted teeth, ”You know what hurts most, the fact I trusted you. Do you not trust me enough to make the right decision?”

”Isabella, I -”

”Save the excuses, Pedro,” She cut him off, ”Since you don't trust me, I'm going to be the monster you all envision me to be,”

”No one envisioned you as a monster, your actions do,” Julie told her sternly, ”And why are we not talking about the fact you almost killed my men?”

”You said almost?” Isabella pointed out the fact they were still alive.

”That is not funny, if it was someone else, I would have her killed and her parts fed to the sharks in the ocean. You should be thankful we're friends,” Julie told her.

”Then as friends, you should know better than to interfere in our private matters. Natasha has to die for me to live in peace. She crossed me, no one crosses me and lives to tell the tale,” Isabella was firm in her decision to end her life.

”You're right,” Pedro agreed to her surprise, ”She should die, however, the child did nothing wrong. You're my wife and I can't let you kill my own child in cold blood. Let's just have her abort the baby and send her far away from us. Please, Isabella, just this once, listen to me,” He begged her.

For a moment there was absolute silence until Isabella said, ”Fine, let's do it that way. Now, who has her?”
