Chapter 771 - Seventy Hundred And Seventy-one: Wait For Him (1/2)

The third point of view:

”But amid all the tribulation, here we are, standing on our feet, why? Because we understood the true concept of family and were able to stand against the tide of the enemy. I thank God every day for giving me wonderful individuals like you all are and I pray every day that we continue to rise with love and unity, Amen, ”

”Amen,” Everyone chorused in unison.

”And then a toast,” Niklaus took a glass from a tray of one of the waiters, ”To this very moment,” He said, prompting others to pick up their glasses and follow his gesture as they repeated.

”A toast to a future full of prosperity and love!” Niklaus said.

”A toast to a future full of prosperity and love!” the others echoed and downed their drinks before the arena filled with chatterings once again.

Niklaus hardly got off the podium when Isabella climbed on it with a, ”I demand your attention,” She added, ”Please,”

To say they were surprised was an understatement, everyone turned to the stage wondering what the white witch had to say. They were curious as hell.

”Well...” Isabella started, wondering why she was suddenly feeling nervous. This was not the first time she was giving speeches on stage, yet now she was facing her family members, she was a bit tense.

”Isabella, speak,” urged Anabelle who was down the podium.

”Well, I'm pregnant!” Isabella announced, panting a bit from tension. She finally did it! Told the whole world that she was expecting a baby. Cecil would be delirious with Joy.

However, Isabella who had been expecting the crowd to go wild by her announcement was surprised to hear silence nor was there a look of surprise on their faces. Only Ailee climbed?

”Alright,” Isabella pulled back the strand off her face, ”Why do I feel like the secret's out before I even told you guys?” Isabella said into the mic.

”No,” she thought over it and rephrased her question, ”The question should be, who told you?”

Suddenly, Isabella heard a giggle from down the stairs and saw Elsa who said, ”I heard Anabelle tell momma and daddy that you're having a beautiful baby and then I told Ella, who told Diego, and Deigo told Ailee who told Allen. When momma found out everything, she asked us to keep it a secret and we should act surprised when you release the news, ”

Except that they had failed to act surprised - which she would have seen through anyway - and this has given her another reason never to trust Anabelle with her secret.

Isabella turned slowly to face Anabelle who gulped knowing that she was in deep shit.

”You!” Isabella growled and went after Anabelle who instantly hid behind Pedro, using him as cover because she knew Isabella would never hurt him.

”Come out this instant!” Isabella ordered her, prepared to tear her from limb to limb.

”Why are you being so violent to a pregnant woman?” Anabelle said, pouting her lips.

At that announcement, Isabella was stunned.

”You're pregnant?”

”Yes!” Anabelle shouted, almost hopping on her feet, ”I just found out a few days ago and now we're going to be real sisters. And please, don't tell me you're going to disagree with having our wedding together now!”

And just like that, Isabella found her agreeing to a combined wedding she never agreed to in the beginning.
