Chapter 754 - Seven Hundred And Fifty-four: Being Killed By Niklaus

The third point of view:

"Thank you for coming," Niklaus welcomed Sakuzi, however his gaze couldn't help but scan the number of security guards he came with. If they weren't family members, he would have thought Sakuzi was here for vengeance or something.

But Sakuzi smiled at him, "Don't mind them, I'm just trying to ensure that no one gets kidnapped,"

"Kidnapped?" Niklaus' body language changed at that comment.

"We didn't have time to speak but just a few days ago, I had a snitch amongst my people and for some reason, I can't help thinking that we have a new enemy in town. According to investigations, I wasn't the target but we had a bit of loss on our side and if our target had escaped, you might have shared on the loss by now, " He hinted at Reina since most of their enemies tend to go after their loved ones when they fail.

Sakuzi went on, "Investigation is still ongoing to find out who that snitch was working for. Although there might be no evidence to support what I said, there's always a need to be careful especially on big events like this one,"

Niklaus was disturbed by that news, Sakuzi was a man who thought things thoroughly before making a move. If he thought something was wrong, something must be wrong.

"Thank you for your help. I'll ask my men to keep an eye out as well,"

"It's nothing," Sakuzi shrugged, "That rascal might not be my biological daughter but she's rubbed off on me already and I'll do everything to protect her as I would my own. Moreover, Reina loves her as her child, which makes her one of us,"

"Fine," Niklaus was still in the middle of thanking him when a collective gasp came from the crowd and he turned with a frown. What's going on?

"You must be happy," Emerald said from behind, nearly startling Pedro that barely had a breathing space from a group of well-wishers that had milked every detail of his history with Isabella. The fact alone that they dated for twelve years amazed people the more, it was hard to see such a lasting relationship now.

"Yes, I am. It's even more unrealistic that we tie the knot tomorrow," Pedro breathed.

"That's the feeling, son," Pedro agreed, "You're even much better than I am. If I had a rehearsal dinner during my time with your mother, I'm sure I would have died from nervousness," the both of them laughed at the joke.

"I'm no better. The thought that Isabella would skin me alive if I mess up is what's keeping me going," He confessed to Emerald who nodded.

"Isabella loves you, you love her and you've both proven that you can live together without tearing each other apart. So I wish you both good luck, "Emerald blessed him.

"Thank you so much," Pedro?added with a smile, "Father,"

Emerald smiled back when he suddenly remembered, "Also the only advice I have for you is to never argue with women,?that is if you want peace. They're always right," He winked at him.

"Of course," Pedro laughed, winking back.

"And now I have to go snatch your mother off the stage before she forgets it's not her rehearsal dinner," Emerald said, causing a chuckle to escape from his lips. His mother tends to overdo things especially when it comes to her children just like how she wants them to give her six kids - which was an impossible dream with Isabella.

However, on the bright side, she'd be over the moon when she hears of Isabella's pregnancy. And speaking about Isabella, where was she? She was just beside him moments ago.

Pedro was about to go look for her when the projection screen suddenly went blank, drawing people's attention because they thought it was a technical error. However, once it functioned once again, it was different photos that went on display and one that showed too much information.

"Oh no," Pedro's blood ran cold. That was impossible. How was that possible?

On the screen were photos of conversations between him and Natasha that Isabella didn't even see because he deleted them. How….? Shit, just because deleted his doesn't mean Natasha deleted them.

Why would she do this? Could it be that Natasha planned this to ruin his marriage to Isabella? Was she asking for a death sentence? Doesn't she know how destructive Isabella was when provoked?

Shit, where was Isabella?

Pedro's heart began to pound in his throat and he made no effort to even stop the leaked photos because he intended to catch Isabella before she did something stupid. He has lived long enough to know what Isabella would be thinking at a time like this and it was to destroy whoever stood in the way of her happiness.

"Pedro, what is the meaning of this?" His mother stomped over to him, fuming with great anger, "I know I never trained you to be a bastard!"

However, Pedro simply sidestepped her and went in search of Isabella. He would bear her wrath later but he had to stop a greater calamity.

He successfully left the garden and the cover of the night helped him to escape the people who had so many questions for him. He made it to the lawn where his car was parked and reached it only for a sucker punch to meet his face.

Pedro fell back to the ground with a look of disbelief on his face. He wiped the blood on his lips with his sleeve and glanced up only to Niklaus who stepped out of the shadow and to the reflection of the light.

"All I told you was to take care of my daughter!" Niklaus was raving mad.

Oh boy, he's so dead.

Pedro's eyes widened and he hardly had time to brace himself when he was hurled to his feet once again and a blow landed on his face.

"Niklaus!" Pedro heard a voice from behind and recognized it as Emerald's.

Well, on the bright side, someone was about to save him from being killed by Niklaus.
