Chapter 644 - Six Hundred And Forty-Four: His Tsundere Fiancée
The third point of view :
"Pedro!"
"David!"
Both n hugged each other with smiles on their faces. David had been one of Pedro's acquaintances at the university he studied. Although both were from different departnts, they clicked at their first eting and beca friends afterward.
After graduation, Pedro took over Fernandez's business while David his rightful position as the director of his father's hospital. Their hospital was one of the best in the city and there were branches across the country. David worked quite hard so as not to fail his father's high expectations of him.
"Long ti, no see," David welcod him and gestured to Pedro to take a seat. He then communicated through the intercom and in less than a minute, a woman, who was probably his secretary, returned with a cup of steaming coffee and placed it on the table in front of Pedro.
"Thank you," Pedro said to the woman who smiled at him and took her leave. He then took hold of the cup's handle and sipped his coffee before dropping it back onto its saucer.
"I heard about your upcoming wedding, congratulations in advance," David congratulated him.
"Sure, thank you," Pedro accepted his complint.
However, almost imdiately, his expression took on a serious look and he intertwined his fingers together, his elbows resting on his lap as he said, "Actually, that's the reason why I'm here today,"
"What?" David was surprised by his comnt. But then, when he saw Pedro's somber expression, his instinct told him sothing was wrong and he sat up properly at once, "Really?"
"I have a problem," Pedro said.
"What kind of people," David was now very curious. What could have made Pedro this tense? Surely, it was a woman's problem - his instinct told him.
"No," Pedro rephrased his words, "I ssed up big ti," he ruffled his hair out of his frustration.
"Alright, what is it? There's nothing in this world that can't be worked out - well, except death," David attempted to joke but it wasn't funny to Pedro at all.
"Well, what is it?" he now asked seriously upon seeing Pedro's deadpan face, "If you ca to , that surely ans I have a role to play in helping you out," He surmised.
"I slept with a woman who isn't my fiancée. In one word, I slept with my secretary," He imdiately added with a hint of anger, "Ex-secretary,"
"So," David exhaled, "You're trying to say you had a one-night stand with your secretary?"
"Honestly," Pedro told him, "I don't understand what happened that night,"
"What do you an?"
"I feel she raped ," Pedro confessed.
"Oh," Damon said and it awkwardly got silent until Pedro began to explain.
"I had drinks with my investors but then I went over my limit and she was there to take back to my hotel room. It was true that sohow her appearance rged with my fiancée, but she was the one who leaned down and kissed . However, she claims that I grabbed her and the rest was history. But I know myself, I'm a careful person and it didn't help matters that my mory of that night is blurry to date. But I know myself, I can't do that to Isabella, not even with an imposter, "
"So she raped you then," David concluded.
"I feel so," Pedro said.
"Report her," David suggested.
"Oh no, trust . That's not helpful at all,"
"Why? Because no one is going to believe you? A woman raped a man? Such complaints are not actually as rare as you think," David tried to persuade him.
"No," He shook his head, "It's not that,"
"Then what? Your reputation? Your relationship? Trust , you have the resources to put her behind bars for the cri, and whatever anger your fiancée would have would disappear with that gesture. Trust , won aren't difficult to please,"
"I'm more scared of my fiancée finding out and ending her life than what the news would do to my reputation," Pedro confessed. He doesn't want Isabella to end up in prison because of him. He'd rather die than let that happen.
David raised his brows questioningly.
"I have a Tsundere fiancée," Pedro said.
"Damn, you're in real trouble" David admitted, knowing how Op won like that were.
"Well, here's the best part," Pedro said with a burst of hilarious laughter, "My ex-secretary is pregnant and claims the baby's mine,"
At once, David's jaw dropped. He tried to say sothing but no words ca out. He rubbed his jaw, this was a real dreary situation. His friend was in deep shit.
Upon seeing David's reaction, Pedro began to laugh hysterically as it now dawned on him the kind of shit he was in. He was dead at. Finished.
"This is not going to be easy," David told him the truth.
"This is why I need your help, my dinner party is next week, closely followed by my wedding. I can't have anything disrupt my sacrifices," Pedro told him.
Damon turned to him seriously, "What do you exactly want to do?"
"The baby can't stay," Pedro hinted at him.
"You want the baby to be aborted?" David comprehended the situation, "Pedro, you do know that baby is your blood?" he reminded him.
"No," Pedro shook his head stubbornly, "There's no assurance that the baby is mine. She's already threatening , that shows her intention,"
"You could still do a test after it's born to confirm the paternity,"
"No, I don't have much ti nor can I allow this madness to escalate. Moreover, even if the baby is mine, I can never love him. I should save the child from such hatred by sending him away on ti," Pedro gave his reasons.
"But still -"
"David, I'm not changing my mind," Pedro said firmly, "The baby is going?whether you help or not?"
"Fine," David sighed, "Has the woman agreed to the idea of an abortion so I can set up a date imdiately,"
"No, she doesn't an abortion. Natasha wants to give birth to the baby," Pedro said bitterly, "But don't worry, I'll have my n force her here and the operation can comnce -"
"Wait, what?" David was in a state of unbelief, "You want to abort the baby forcefully?"
He ran his hand through his hair and asked his friend straightforwardly, "Pedro! How does this make this any different from what your father did?"
