At that statement, Isabella began to think hard. It couldn’t be a coincidence that her mother Reina was attacked and now Natasha was taken by an unknown set of people.
“Perhaps, it’s the people she works for,” Isabella said.
“What?”
“Pedro told me that she forced herself on him and I can’t help but think about how’s she been able to hide away from us so far. Perhaps, she has help and her patron has a vendetta against me and hopes to use her pregnancy to destroy my happiness,” she figured everything out.
From what she saw from her profile, Natasha was a smart woman and wouldn’t intentionally sleep with Pedro when she knows about her -Isabella- vindictive nature.
“What if she was forced to do this against her will?” Jean thought so.
“That’s a nice angle to think from,” Isabella complimented him. Right now, her brain was working in all directions and her thumbs rubbed across her lips contemplatively.
“Look into Natasha’s background once again, see if there’s any missing member of her family or relative. Using one’s family is the fastest way to have a target do your will,” Isabella said.
“Of course, I will,”
“Also,” Isabella added immediately, “Don’t think of attending my rehearsal dinner if you don’t find her else I’ll really end you for disobeying my order,”
“Yes, ma’am,” Jean said just as she hung up on him.
Isabella had this unsettling feeling in the pit of her stomach like there was a war brewing and it was closer than she thinks.
Done with the call, she turned to leave for the restaurant only to face Pedro. He was staring at her with that sexy eyes of his – she fell for in the first place – and it made her really uncomfortable. She could hardly control a blush from creeping up her face.
“Stop staring at me that way,” She warned him.
“Why? Are you afraid that you’d really forgive me if you stared into my eyes long enough,” Pedro asked her with a teasing smile that infuriated her.
“Stop laughing!” She warned him, “Just because I forgave you doesn’t mean your sins are forgotten. Your sins are up here….” Isabella gestured to her brain, “And would always remain there. So you better run away now,”
“Why should I run away?!” Pedro asked, taking careful steps towards her until he was right in front of her, “Do you really want me to run away?”
“I would torment you all the days of your life,” Isabella promised him. He broke her trust and she would not make it easy for him to gain it back.
“Sure, give it to me,” He told her, “Being with you is a torment anyway,”
Isabella’s brows raised at that statement, what the hell?
“A sweet torment,” Pedro added with a smile, resting his forehead against hers, “I must be a masochist for you, Isabella,” He muttered, his head inclining to the side as he searched for her lips.
There he found it and then took her lips in his mouth, kissing her like never better. Isabella’s heart zinged, she should push him away and as well, torture him more. However, her hand only wrapped around his neck as she pulled him closer to her body.
The kiss would be brief and then she would punish him for attempting a move on her. However, his tongue delved into her mouth and she let him, moaning at the sweet pleasure.
Just a little more time, she told herself as she rubbed her hips against his throbbing member through his trouser. Just a little time and she’s done with him, Isabella told herself even as she took his lower lips between her teeth and nipped on it. Just a little more time, she told herself as Pedro’s hands went to her waist and knead her ass from behind. Just a little more time, she told herself as her hands moved to rub him down there.
And then his groan suddenly brought her back to reality plus the urge to breathe. Isabella and Pedro broke apart while panting for air. God, that had been an intense kiss.
For once, Isabella was grateful they were not in a private room because there’s no way that it’s not going down with the way they were staring at each other.
“I missed you,” Pedro confessed.
“Is that why you drank? Do that next time and I’d really break up with you for real,” Isabella threatened him.
“Why do you like saying things you don’t mean and avoid answering the ones you mean? Didn’t you miss me too?” Pedro asked her, holding her gaze.
“Let’s go in,” Isabella changed the subject immediately, a blush creeping up her face. Why does he want such a cheesy answer desperately?
Pedro didn’t hassle her any longer and they went back to the restaurant one after the other.
Julie looked between the both of them intensely and that vexed Isabella so much. She growled, “What?!”
Julie didn’t comment rather he gestured to the windowpane and Isabella looked outside to discover that the hot makeup season was very much viewed by yours truly and his fiancé Anabelle.
“I’m sorry,” Isabella apologized to Julie’s shock.
“I must be dreaming,” Julie murmured to himself. The great Isabella was apologizing to him? The sun must have risen from the west today.
“And I’m sorry for your men. That was the only method Jean could use to stop them,” Isabella added another apology upon the first one.
This time Julie’s mouth hung open. No, he should have recorded her touching speech right now. It seems Isabella finally changed for the better, he thought until she said.
“I think someone’s intent on breaking Pedro and I up, and now, I need your help,”
At once, Julie’s face fell. Who was he kidding? Isabella only apologized because she needed help from him.?She knew he would never help her as far as they were on bad terms, so she made peace so she could use him. That great manipulator was up to it again.
“No,” Julie refused right away, he felt used.
“No?” Anabelle faced him, “Are you still angry because of what she did? Isabella apologized already and she hardly does that,” She tried to convince him.
And this was what he feared, Anabelle taking the side of her cousin and Isabella knew that which was why she made the move in the first place.
“Fine, what do you want?” Julie asked, tired. If one could ask about his relationship with Isabella, he would say complicated. Isabella was neither a friend nor an ally even though they appear to be so at times. She was someone who would make a good friend and a deadly enemy. So he had to stay on neutral ground.
“I need you to investigate someone for me. She goes by the name Deborah and saved my mother Reina from an accident,” she gave him the details.
“You want to investigate someone who rescued your mother from an accident?” Pedro was surprised.
“Same thing here,” Anabelle was surprised as well.
