Chapter 757 - Seven Hundred And Fifty-seven: Hello Sister (1/2)

The third point of view:

Isabella recovered from her thoughts with a startling gasp as if she went through an epiphany. Now she thought over it, she didn't want that kind of life - a life without Pedro. She was just so angry she couldn't think straight. All she wanted was revenge, but now, it was clear to her. She didn't care anymore, all that mattered was her happiness - she couldn't live such a miserable life.

”Pedro!” Her gaze fell on him and then without as much thought, ran over to him and threw herself on him, hugging him tight as if they were estranged lovers seeing each other for the first time in a long time.

”Oh, thank God,” Pedro was more than relieved as he held her in his arms, breathing into her hair and inhaling her lovely scent. He had been so scared thinking that he was too late and lost her forever.

Truth be told, even if Isabella had committed murder, he would not break up with her over it. But he knew Isabella, she was too proud and would think he was with her out of guilt - for being the cause of the whole thing- and would push him away by all possible means.

Natasha came down from the roof, finally releasing the breath she had been holding in all this while. So this is what it feels like to die - she had seen her very life flash before her eyes.

”I'm so sorry,” Isabella began to apologize but Pedro hushed her by pressing his thumb over her lips, caressing it.

”No, I should be the one apologizing. If it wasn't for me, all this wouldn't have happened. I should be the one being held accountable for this disaster,” Pedro took the blame instead.

”No, you're not to be blamed. Someone has been orchestrating this all along,” Isabella finally saw the plot.

”What?” Pedro was stunned. Did someone plan everything that happened to him so far? How was that possible? And who?

As if sensing Pedro's question, Isabella turned to Natasha, ”Perhaps you would like to enlighten us more since you're her puppet all along?”

”Her puppet all along?” Natasha thought over her words and her eyes widened. Could it be that Isabella finally knew?

”How did you know?”

”I've been having my suspicions but the picture didn't come together until I discovered I had a half-sister tonight. Then me coming over here confirmed the rest,” She turned to Natasha, ”What does she hold over you? Your sister? That's your closest relative here,”

Tears filled Natasha's eyes and she nodded, ”Yeah, you're right! She would kill my sister if I didn't comply with her wishes. I really didn't mean to sleep with Pedro nor have his baby. I really didn't have any choice,” she cried out.

Isabella was not moved by Natasha's tears, rather her mind was deep in thought, ”Deborah wants revenge against my family for reasons best known to her. But I guess it's out of abandonment - she thinks Niklaus didn't care for her existence, just that he didn't know,”

”What if he knew?” Pedro asked her, ”What if your father intentionally chose to abandon Deborah to save his family?” he hinted at their condition where he had already promised to make Natasha abort the baby.

”No, if that was the case, he would make sure Reina and Decorah never meet
