“Going somewhere, are we?” Isabella said with a smile that made insects crawl on her skin. If anyone could be called mad, Natasha was staring at one like now.
“No, no!” Natasha crawled back on her feet twice before scurrying away from her.
However, Isabella was not moved by her attempt at running from her, if anything Natasha looked like nothing but a trapped animal to her. However, trapped animals also fought desperately for life.
So when Natasha attempted to hit her with the throw pillow to make her escape, Isabella caught it and backhanded her so hard Natasha saw stars.
She moved away from Isabella the way a small animal would when it sees a larger predator. She then climbed up the stairs but Isabella followed steadily and at her pace knowing she had the upper hand here.
Natasha went into her room, Isabella followed suit. She threw as many kinds of stuff she could get her hands on at Isabella, some of them so sharp that they inflicted cuts at her but Isabella didn’t flinch nor even mind. It almost felt like she couldn’t even feel pain anymore.
Seeing that Isabella wasn’t close to stopping, Natasha went through the balcony and then accessed the little stairs that directly led her to the terrace. Yet Isabella didn’t spare her little haven and followed her to the rooftop.
This time, Natasha was tired of running, she was panting and slightly out of breath. Besides, for how long was she going to run? They were on the rooftop now, where was she going to run to?
“Please, I can’t do this anymore,” Natasha went on her knees immediately, rubbing her hands together in a pleading motion.
“So, we’re tired now?” there was a sadistic glint in her eyes. Isabella was enjoying seeing her this helpless and desperate.
“Isabella, have mercy,” Natasha begged her.
“Isabella, have mercy,” Izzy mimicked her tone mockingly, then laughed, “Did you think of me when you slept with Pedro?”
Natasha shook her head, “I didn’t exactly have a choice, I was -“
“We have choices!” She roared with an intensity that shut Natasha up immediately.
“We all have choices,” Isabella said in a whisper, and went on, “Just as I have a choice of letting you live, however, I’m going to do the opposite. The earth is too small for the both of us, one of us has to leave for the other to survive,”
“No, no! Isabella!” Natasha told her immediately, “I’ll abort the baby if that’s what you want!”
But Isabella changed her mind already, “Sorry, but the moment I wanted that option was gone the instant you ruined my rehearsal dinner,”
At once Natasha’s eyes widened, “No, I did no such thing! How can I ruin your rehearsal dinner?! Reason it thoroughly, please Isabella,” She begged desperately, snots running down her nose, “I can ruin your dinner and make it back on time,”
Isabella smirked, “Not if you hired people to do so,”
“I would never do that Isabella, I’m not suicidal enough! Please trust me, Isabella! I’m begging you!”
Natasha could tell Isabella the truth of how she’s been manipulated by Mrs.D, however, they had specifically warned her that her sister would be killed once she does so. And Natasha doesn’t doubt their threat. They’ve kidnapped her sister before, what’s the chances they don’t have her sister once more and waiting for the moment she slips.
“It doesn’t change anything at all. As long as you remain alive, you’d always be a thorn at my side. A liability my enemies would use against me, so you have to go,” Isabella had reasoned everything thoroughly.
Isabella took a step forward causing Natasha to hurriedly get to her feet, stepping backward.
“Falling off the roof seems much than a suicide than murder. A better death don’t you think?” Isabella suggested to her causing all color to drain from her face.
Natasha looked down, the height wasn’t much and she would get a break or two depending on how she lands except her head lands first. The risk was great nonetheless.
“Jump off the roof, Natasha,” Isabella suggested.
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.
