Chapter 700 - Seven Hundred : Tell The Truth

The third point of view:

For over a minute after Julie and Pedro made it outside, none of them said a word to each other. Bored by the taunt silence, Julie picked out a stick of cigarette from the pack and put one in his mouth before offering him, "Want one?"

Pedro glanced down at the cigarette stick and turned away disinterested.

"Oh, I forget that you\'re a righteous man," Julie taunted him.

Pedro said to him, "Watch your liver and lungs, at this rate you would die before you get to marry Anabelle,"

Julie chuckled, "Don\'t worry about me, buddy, you should be more concerned about your marriage that\'s crumbling before it even began,"

At that comment, Pedro snatched the light cigarette from Julie\'s mouth.

"Hey, you\'ve never -!" Julie tried to stop him but the distraught Pedro had already taken a long puff of the cigar and then began to cough profusely.

"Oh God," Julie groaned, he had not come here to comfort a broken-hearted friend, "This is why you should not take substances you have no clue about,"

He tossed the cigarette away and squatted down as he began to rub Pedro who was still coughing on the back. His eyes were red and tears seemed like it was ready to gush out any moment.

"Please don\'t die on me else Isabella hunts me down, "Julie was truly concerned for Pedro\'s well-being because it would determine his survival. He was not ready to take on the white witch.

"I\'m not going to die," Pedro said with effort and then to Julie\'s shock, began to cry.

"I\'m damned," Julie muttered as he watched his fellow male begin to cry like a baby. He said it, only Isabella had the great ability to turn a man into this. Crying for a woman was the last thing he would do, Julie was sure of that.

"Fine, it\'s alright," He comforted Pedro.

"I messed up big time,"

"Just spill it. I\'m sure it\'s something that we can solve," Julie was sure.

"Not this one," Pedro shook his head with a sad smile, "I can\'t solve this one without hurting Isabella either way,"

"Hurt her either way?" Julie\'s brows furrowed, "What are you talking about?"

Pedro sighed, "I seem to have gotten a lady pregnant,"

"You got a lady preg....." Julie trailed off when he realized what that meant, "Oh my God," He gasped.

For sure, he\'s dead.

Unable to take the shock, Julie picked another cigarette stick and smoked without as much as another word spoken to Pedro till he was done.

"You\'re doomed," Julie said to him. He knew Isabella, she would never accept the thought of another woman having shared her husband to be. Not to think of the woman having their baby - especially not when she had one for Pedro as well.

God, this was crazy. Julie never knew a secret could be heavy until now. He wanted to tell Pedro but this was not his secret to tell and he had promised Anabelle as well. Moreover, Isabella would kill him - after killing the woman who slept with her fiancé.

"Isabella would not let her live," Julie was sincere with Pedro.

"I know," Pedro said, "That was why I was trying to keep it buried forever after having the baby aborted. Unfortunately, the foolish gold digger didn\'t even realize I was trying to save her life,"

Pedro knew with Isabella\'s power and background, she could end Natasha and no one would even blink about her disappearance. She had the resources and the knowledge about that - that was how scary Isabella was.

"Have you told your parents?" Julie inquired.

"It would be much more problematic if my mother finds out about this. You know how much she wants a grandchild, she would take her in without blinking twice -"

"And your marriage to Isabella is over," Julie figured it all out.

Isabella was too proud and would never marry Pedro as far as that woman would be there as the mother of his child.

"You should tell Niklaus then," Julie suggested and Pedro looked at him as if he had finally gone crazy.

"Are you kidding me right now?" Pedro didn\'t believe he would come up with such a ridiculous idea.

"Niklaus loves his daughter too much and for sure would break one of your legs or one of them before finally listening to your side of your story. But then, if there\'s any man who can stop Isabella, it\'s her father,"

"But that would mean I no longer have a future with Isabella. He would never let me near her," He glanced up at Julie, "I\'m sorry but I think I would keep this secret amongst us,"

"Pedro," Julie called him, "You\'re playing with fire here. Sometimes the truth can be more liberating than you think,"

Pedro ran his hand through his hair. He was stressed and had run out of options except one, "Isabella would never tell Niklaus, thus buying time for me to solve this whole thing before it escalates. That is why I need your help. You have many eyes and ears in places I cannot reach,",

"You can still tell the truth. Isabella loves you and she has more than enough reason not to leave you," Julie still tried to change his mind.

Pedro threw his hands up, "Reasons like what?"

"Like your child she\'s carrying!" Julie said of course in his mind. The Isabella he knew would never let the position of her child be occupied by another.

"You just have a little faith and come clean is all I\'m saying," He said instead.

"Are you helping me or not?" Pedro demanded.

"Fine, I\'ll help you out," Julie agreed. Since he wanted this way, he had no choice but to help out a friend in distress.

"So what happens when you get your hands on her?" He added, "Just so you know, I\'m not into human trafficking,"

"She raped me," Pedro informed him.

"Still no, I have my code of morals," Julie stood his ground.

"I just want the child aborted and she sent to a faraway country where she would be unable to return,"

"Fine. Consider it then," Julie said and then picked up his phone to make an important call.. Nor did any of them notice Annabelle behind them and was cupping her mouth so as not to make a noise.
