Chapter 76 The Pregnant Woman
Rafael’s POV
I stared at her face, feeling satisfied by the expression I saw.
Shock was written all over her face when my guards forced her three men to their knees. I pulled the phone from my pocket and turned off the recording.
She blinked several times as she glared at the three men before her, speechless and unable to do anything but blink at them as if she were seeing ghosts.
“What’s going on here?” she shouted, staring at me as she tried to pull her hair from my grip.
“Aren’t these your men? The ones who do the dirty work for you?” I said in a flat tone, tightening my grip on her hair. I wished she was a man so I could smash her fucking face.
Her face turned as pale as a sheet, then reddened with anger as she growled, “I don’t know any of them!”
I laughed, a joyless sound. “Didn’t you just recommend Jevani to me a moment ago?” I roared, then pushed her away. She stumbled but regained her balance by grabbing the arm of a chair.
“You!” she exclaimed, pointing her finger at me. “Did you set me up?”
My eyes turned to ice as I remembered how she had planned to send Natalie to prison.
“Your dirty work did, not me, sow,” I mumbled in disgust.
We confronted her with all the schemes she had orchestrated against Natalie. Her men confessed everything they knew and admitted to what they had done for her.
This woman was truly deceptive. At first glance, you might think she was an angel, her expression as innocent as a sweet girl. If it hadn’t been for the sketch I found in Natalie’s office that day, I would never have found the man named Jad. When I went to Natalie’s office looking for her, I discovered a drawing of this man’s face on her desk. I was curious. Who was this man?
I took the drawing with me and handed it to Jack to investigate the matter. That’s how we discovered everything…
However, once we finished interrogating Debbie, I stepped back and gestured to the officer. “Do your job, officer. Please take this trash out of my house immediately!”
As the officer was pushing her out of my study, she shouted, “This is not the end, Rafael! Tell your precious slut I will take her baby!”
Baby!!
I looked at her as if she were crazy. I knew it was just another one of her schemes, so I didn’t pay much attention to what she had just said.
I grabbed my phone and tried to call Natalie’s, but it was out of service! She had called me three hour ago, but I had been busy interrogating that bitch.
I wanted to tell Natalie the good news, to let her know that I had believed in her from the very beginning of that case and that I had been protecting her.
I wanted to tell her that I wanted us to be a real family. I was willing to learn how to love for her. She was the one who deserved my feelings and to learn love from.
I smiled when I remembered her confession about loving me! How did I not notice that before?
“I’m going upstairs to see Natalie before I follow you to the police station,” I told Jack as I turned to head upstairs. But he grabbed my hand and said urgently, “We have to go now, Rafael. We don’t know what her father might do! We shouldn’t give them the chance to act.”
He was absolutely right.
I let out a deep sigh and headed towards my car.
The paparazzi were surrounding Debbie as the officers took her to their car. Her face was pale as a sheet, trembling, with tears rolling down her cheeks.
I smiled. This was just the beginning. I’ll make sure she gets the punishment she deserves.
At the police station, I tried to call Natalie several times again, but her phone was still out of service.
“Why didn’t she charge her phone?” I wondered, feeling increasingly anxious.
I can’t wait to go home, hug her, and proudly declare to the world that she is my wife.
However, as I was reflecting on the apparent success of my plan while sitting in the officer’s office, a cop informed me about a report from one of the hospitals.
That report will make me realise that I hadn’t succeeded completely after all.
“Mr. Merrin, we’ve received another report regarding your ex-fiancee, Miss Nefson. She is accused of attacking a pregnant woman and causing her to lose her child,” said the officer.
“How evil could this woman be?” asked Jack incredulously.Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
“Good, this strengthens our case! It’ll make sure she rots in prison for a long time,” I spat with disgust.
Where was my mind to get engaged to such a whore?!
“What did you do to my daughter?” Mechenzi barged in, exclaiming, and the cop had to pull him back.
I didn’t move or even blink; I just smirked and ignored him.
“Your daughter is a criminal, Mr. Nefson, and she committed several crimes punishable by law,” the officer declared.
Mechenzi looked around with mixed emotions-shock, fear, and anger. “I’ll hire a lawyer, we’ll win this case, and then I’ll sue you, Rafael!” he shouted.
“Do the best you can, Mechenzi!” I mumbled calmly.
He turned to face the officer. “I want to see my daughter,” he demanded.
“Have a seat, Mr. Nefson. Your daughter is on her way here. Someone else reported her,” the officer replied.
“Can you imagine? Your daughter attacked a pregnant woman and caused her to lose her baby!” Jack stated in disdain.
Mechenzi’s face paled, and he was about to say something when the door opened and Debbie walked in with her hands in handcuffs.
Once she saw her father, she ran towards him and cried, “Dad, please help me! I don’t want to go to jail.”
He hugged his daughter but didn’t say anything.
She stared at me and begged, “Rafael, please, I loved you. Please don’t do this to me!”
I looked at her with disdain and said, “And I never felt anything for you.”
“No! That’s not true. If it weren’t for that bitch, we would be together now!” she said through gritted teeth.
I got up from my seat, stood before her, and said firmly, “Never! Even if it weren’t for Natalie, I would never marry someone like you, Debbie. You’re a heartless woman. How could you attack a pregnant woman and kill her child?”
She didn’t reply. I continued, “By the way, the wedding date will stay the same, in two days.”
Her eyes widened with hope. I added, “Natalie and I are getting married on that date!”
“NO!” she growled. “I’ll get revenge, Rafael. Don’t think you’ve gotten rid of me!” She hissed like a snake.
I shook my head in disdain and turned to leave the office. But as I reached the door, she said, “She lost her baby then! Do you know who the woman is?”
I turned around and froze in my place when she added, “It’s Natalie, and the baby was yours!”
