Chapter 756 - Seven Hundred And Fifty-six: The Monster She Created
The third point of view:
"Jump off the roof, Natasha," Came Isabella's order that made her blood chill. She must be joking right?
"W-what?" Natasha could only stutter.
"From that height, you'd probably break a leg once you land with your leg, however, otherwise you bleed to death after your skull cracks open," Isabella sumed out the scenario for her.
The fact alone that Isabella presented her fate before her emotionlessly scared her the most. What kind of monster was this?
"Don't call me a monster, " Isabella said, causing Natasha's eyes to widen. How had she known? Could she read her mind as well?
"It's not hard to figure that out when it's written all over your face. But you should know this...."Isabella took a step closer, Natasha took a step back,"You were the one who roused the monster in me,"
A cherry smile returned to Isabella's face as she ordered her, "Now, up you go,"
Natasha didn't have a choice, Isabella didn't give her one. She wanted to run, but to where? Moreover, Isabella was faster and stronger. Hence like the weak prey she was, Natasha began to step until her foot hit the side of the rooftop's ledge.
"So?" Isabella's brows raised arrogantly when she stopped moving, "What are you waiting for? Jump off the roof or do you want me to give you a hand? Only that your death wouldn't be tagged a suicide but murder I would easily get away with,"
Tears ran down Natasha's face, she could see her end as she climbed on top of the ledge. She didn't want to die in an unjust way, so as much as she detested Isabella, she atleast wanted to strike a deal with her to keep her sister safe in exchange for the truth. She would only trust that Isabella's people work faster at rescuing her sister before they kills her.
But as soon as Isabella said, "What are you waiting for? Jump off," Natasha changed her mind. For dying unfairly, she wanted Isabella to suffer a bit before she knew what hit her. She was a victim here as much as she was, why couldn't she give her a chance?
Natasha looked down and all she saw was nothing - an empty darkness that would swallow her once she jumped off. She spotted Mrs. D people, they were parked at a distant watching without doing anything.
Her brows creased, why were they doing nothing? Just weeks ago, they put their lives on the line just to rescue her and now, they were doing nothing? It didn't make sense unless…. It dawned on Natasha, they wanted Isabella to end her? Oh no.
It didn't make sense at all, but the more Natasha thought over it, it began to make sense. Why Mrs. D forcibly had her come back to her place today where they could find her easily after provoking her. But why? It's not like Isabella could go to prison, her parents had enough power and resources to prevent that unless…. Mrs.D had a way to make that happen. Natasha turned around, was she on camera right now?
"What is this show for? I said jump off now or I would lend a helping hand!" Isabella was beginning to get impatient and as a matter of fact, strode towards her with purpose. She wanted to push her down.
Natasha's eyes widened and she began to panic. She was at a disadvantage being on top of the ledge already and was ready to say her last prayer as Isabella neared her just as a voice shouted, "Isabella, no!"
The both of them turned around to see that it was no other than Pedro who was panting as if he had run all the way here. Although this man wanted to abort the baby, Natasha saw him as her savior right now because he was the only one that could save her from Isabella.
"Isabella, don't please," Pedro said cautiously, his hand stretched as if wanting to grab her. But he couldn't move carelessly as Isabella was closer to Natasha than he was.
"Oh, the prince in shining armor has finally come to save you?" There was a taunt in Isabella's voice.
"Isabella -"
"Don't Isabella me!" She growled at him while Natasha was stuck with indecisiveness on top of the roof. Her life was on the line here.
"If you think for one moment that just because you're here that I'm going to change my mind, then you're in for a huge loss," Isabella had made up her mind already that even Pedro can't change it.
"So you won't mind taking a life?"
"I'm simply eliminating competition, that's all,"
"Fine," Pedro said to her surprise.
"What?"
"Do it then?" He told her, finally bringing his hand down as he finally lowered his defenses.
There was a trace of panic on Natasha's face, Pedro can't give up yet. He had to convince Isabella otherwise she's doomed.
"You think I won't do it? Push her to her death?" Isabella thought he was only daring her.
"No, I know you can do it and get away with the murder. And then when our kid grows up and one day asks why we are not together, I'd simply tell him or her that you pushed a pregnant woman off the room because you were provoked," Pedro said and that comment alone rid all emotions off Isabella's face.
She hadn't thought of the consequences of her action on the unborn child. Isabella knew for sure that her relationship with Pedro would be over once Natasha falls off the roof. She pushed the mother of his whoreson off the roof, no man in this world would continue a relationship with her after that reality.
They wouldn't fight for the child's custody right, she would give him that - her fight isn't with Pedro but the choice she made ruined their relationship. Although he did first by getting Natasha pregnant in the first place. Cecil would fight for the child but no one can really stand against the Spencers especially when Niklaus's involved - he can go to lengths for his child.
Her child would be feared and revered because of her; because of her reputation - because of what she could do.. And then she would either end turning her child to the monster she was or her child would be trapped in the nightmare she created.
