Chapter 744 - Seven Hundred And Fourty-four: Who Has Her?

The third point of view:

"So what do we do now?" Isabella asked Niklaus with her arms across her chest. It was a few minutes after the little disagreement in the family.

"First of all, I need to find Jennifer-"

"Right after you console aunt," Anabelle interrupted him, not that she meant to be rude by the way, "Your decision really hurt aunt Reina especially after she just discovered news of Jennifer\'s escape,"

Niklaus pressed his lips together saying in a stern voice, "Allen needs to grow up. His selfishness is becoming unbearable and I can\'t let him turn out to be the kind of emotionless bastard my father, Adam, was. My wife would be angry but with time, she\'d understand my reason for this. Moreover, it\'s not like Allen\'s living far away, she can pay a visit as far as she doesn\'t sneak my resources to him for the time being,"

At once Isabella\'s phone rang and when she saw it was Julie calling, a smirk crossed her features. Since he was calling, that means the mission was done.

"Hello," she said with an expressionless tone.

"Come out," it was one single command.

"Where?"

"You\'d receive the coordinates,"

As soon as the call ended, Isabella announced, "It seems I have to return early, father,"

"Where are you going?" Niklaus asked with a narrowed gaze. He noticed the call she made just now and knew she was up to something.

"Have you forgotten that my rehearsal dinner is tomorrow? I have to go prepare," she said to him. If only Niklaus knew that the preparation she was talking about was taking care of a certain person, he would have flipped the table.

"Huh? We\'re leaving?" Anabelle was surprised. She was hoping to spend more time with Isabella\'s family and leave towards the evening time.

"Your fiancé planned an unexpected breakfast, let\'s go," Isabella was already on her feet causing Anabelle to keep up with her pace.

"See you later, father," Isabella said, when it hit her. She turned, "And, do remember to invite the woman who saved mom. It would be a pleasure to finally meet her,"

Niklaus groaned, "You\'re supposed to test her, not hurt her," He knew Isabella\'s tendencies.

"That\'s what I\'m going to do," Isabella said.

Niklaus gave her a look of disbelief.

"Cross my heart," She gestured across her chest, "Put a little trust in me, Niklaus. I\'m your daughter, not a psychopath,"

Isabella then began to preach to him, "As you said to your son, Allen, just because I have the power and resources doesn\'t mean I have to abuse it,"

Niklaus snorted with laughter, "Fine, do whatever you want. I wonder what kind of daughter you are, you never let me have the last words,"

"Of course, I\'m your daughter, who else?" She stated proudly causing Anabelle\'s face to distort. Why were they oppressing her with their relationship? She has a father as well, you know.

However, it still pleased Anabelle that Isabella and Niklaus had made a tremendous leap in their relationship. Who knew they would come to be this close?

Isabella left with Anabelle, although with a promise to come visit the twins later. She entered the car with Anabelle who insisted on driving, claiming that she was a pregnant woman that needed rest.

The restaurant was not far, hence they arrived in a few minutes and Isabella was surprised to see Pedro there. Well, she was not that startled since she predicted he would be with Julie, but there was always this pull between them and even now they were staring at each other, it was almost as if only the both of them existed in this space.

But then, Julie interrupted the moment, "You know, if the both of you want to fuck, there\'s a restroom over there for your limited privacy, however..." his jaw clenched, "I\'m kind of pissed right now,"

"You\'re pissed? That\'s amazing. I never thought I would get to see your angry face - you\'re always smiling," Isabella smirked at him.

"Isabella," Pedro called her name as if trying to warn her.

"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?"
