Chapter 18

CLYDE'S POINT OF VIEW

I WAS sitting on my swivel chair when the door of my office opened and my secretary stepped in.

"Sir, someone wants to talk to you. He said he's Uno and he also said that you know him." He handed me the phone.

"You can go out, now." I told my secretary that she immediately complied.

"Yes?" I said.

"Sir, this is Uno. I can't contact you on your phone so I called your secretary."

"My phone was stolen. Is there any problem?" I asked.

"Sir, Ms. Nathania said that you will meet her in Zein's hotel, I felt something weird so I called you. I thought you're with Ms. Nathania but your secretary said that you're still in your office." I frowned at what it said.

"What? I'm in my office right now."

"We saw your text in Ms. Nathania's phone sir. She's in the hotel now." I hurriedly stood up after what he said.

"I lost my phone since this morning! I didn't text her because I don't have my phone right now!" I almost shouted.

"But Sir–"

"Go to her now! She's in danger!" I shouted and ended the call.

I sat down again and immediately opened my laptop.

I lost my phone earlier. I don"t know who took or stole, so why did I text him?

"Good thing I gave her that necklace." I whispered.

I looked where the dot was and saw it was moving. Where is she going? I thought she's in the hotel right now. Why is he moving away ?!

I picked up the phone again and asked for help from the police and I knew.

I know something's off. Someone planned this.

And then Daniella popped on my head.

"What are you doing, Daniella?" I gritted my teeth and stood up.

I contacted Lucifer.

"What?" He asked.

"My girl is not safe right now. She's kidnapped."

"She has a tracking device in her necklace, right?" He asked again.

"Yes." I answered.

"Okay, I'm coming." I clenched my fist and picked up the gun hidden under my desk.

"I will kill you, Daniella."

They just make sure nothing bad happens to Nathania because if there is, I will kill them. I will kill that father animal.

I left the office and headed for my car. I turned it on
and pinched where the red dot that serves as Nathania now stands. It's really good that I gave it a necklace with a tracking device so I'll know right away where it is.

But I'm a little bit nervous. What if something bad will happen to Nathania? She's pregnant!

I know it"s weird because of how I"ve been behaving in recent days. I'm doing it because I want her to be safe.

If the two of us get together, it will only get worse. Plus, I'm doing something. I'm planning on how to get rid the Monroe's. But I think I just despised it even more. I thought, if I go away it won't hurt but I'm wrong. I don't want her to be stress because she's pregnant, but look at now. She's kidnapped.

My mouth watered and I clenched my fist more.

"Wait for me, honey. I'm coming." I whispered, hoping that she can hear it but she can't.

WHEN I ARRIVED at the place I immediately found Lucifer and his companions.

"There are guards." He shot as we hid behind large trees.

It was late at night, so it was dark and the guards could not see us immediately outside the abandoned building.

"The police are coming." Suddenly someone came and I saw those Unos.

"Sir, we're sorry. We really thought you texted." Uno apologized. Its comrades are in the back.

"I know but I still want to call you all useless!" They bend.

"Sorry sir."

"Stop that and let's just focus on saving my woman." I said.

"The snipers are ready." Lucifer said and then I nodded.

Within seconds, the guards were slowly knocking outside without making a sound.

I smirked and thanked Lucifer. "Thanks, man."

"Don't thank me. Thank the snipers." He said and then he followed his men.

We entered the abandoned building and the war has started. Fighting and gunfire began.

I shoot everyone who blocks my path.

"You're all going to die." I shot and fired at the opponents again.

"Go find your woman, Clyde!" Lucifer shouted and I followed what he said.

I saw the stairs to the second floor so I immediately went there. I went through the abandoned rooms one by one but I couldn't go up to the third floor again.

Some of Daniella's men intercepted me but I immediately knocked them down.

I checked the rooms again. I went one by one and when I saw there was a light in a room I immediately kicked the door.

I cried when I saw Father Monroe with Nathania.

"Oh her knight is here!" Daniella's father exclaimed.

"What did you do to her ?!" I shouted when I saw Nathania on the floor. Her eyes were closed. She didn't move.

"I think she's dead?" Daniella said and laughed.

I felt Lucifer, Uno and his companions come.

"Stay away from her if you don't want to die." I warned but they both shrugged.

"We're going to die too, so why don't we just make the most of it?" Daniella smiled and pulled out a gun from behind it and showed it to us.

"See this?" He said and pointed the gun at Nathania who was now unconscious.

Sh*t! I need to get her now. I need to get her to the hospital!

"Don't you dare, Daniella." I told her but she just laughed again.

"You're not going to be mine either Clyde, so I'm not going to let you be his either." I saw his father pointed a gun to us.

"We're all going to die." Someone lifted this remote.

My eyes widened when I realized it. It's a bomb!

The father and son laughed out loud.

"Say goodbye to your precious Nathania, Clyde." Daniella said and was about to touch the gun when I fired it too and everyone started firing.

"Go save her." Lucifer said and shot Daniella's father but after her father was shot, we heard a sound. The time is running. I saw on its remote that we only had three minutes to escape this place.

I shot Daniella on her head. I run towards Nathania.

"Nathania, honey!" I picked it up.

"Please, honey wake up." She opened her eyes and uttered my name.

"C-Clyde .... t-the ... t-the b-baby ..."

"Yes honey, please fight. Please be strong. Don't close your eyes honey. I'm here."

"I-my t-stomach hurts ..." This language is difficult.

"I'll take you to the hospital! Don't turn a blind eye! Fight back, okay?" I looked at them all and shouted.

"Let's get out of here!" I shouted.

"I'll defuse the bomb." Thyrone suddenly said.

We all stared at him.

"Are you fvcking sure?" Lucifer asked him but Uno answered Lucifer.

"He knows how to defuse bombs, don't worry." With that said I immediately left them and ran fast.

"Please be strong, honey." When I got in the car, I immediately drove the car to the hospital.

God, please save her.

| EPILOGUE |

I WAS nervous as I stood outside the church.

I was wearing a white gown and waiting for the big door to open.

"Ms. Nathania, the door will open now. Good luck and congratulations!" Krisha, the organizer said.

I smiled and took a deep breath. This is it! Our wedding!

The door of the church slowly opened. I immediately saw people with amazement in their eyes as they looked at me and there I saw my soon to be husband, Clyde Marcus Salvadore. He's standing on the front, waiting for me.

When I finally got inside the song started. It's a song by Reneé Dominique, Could I love you anymore.

Full moon, bedroom, stars in your eyes.
Last night the first time that I realized
The glow between us
Felt so right

I walked slowly while people looked at me. It was like caressing my heart. The pleasure of feeling that I am now walking in the middle of the church, towards the man I love the most.

We sat on the edge of the bed and you said "I never knew that I could feel this way."

I remember he confessed to me on the island. I don't think he loves me but he just made me feel that way in the wrong way.

Love today can be so difficult
But what we have is always different
'Cause when I'm with you the world stops turning

When I'm with him, it's like my world really stops. My heart beats faster when I'm with him.

Could I love you anymore?
Could I love you anymore?
Could I love you anymore?

I love him so much. We started wrong but here we are now and in church. Even though he was cruel to me before, our love for each other prevailed. I laughed at everything he did wrong to me, because that's love. Willing to forgive.

Sun rise, time flies, feels like a tree
Being close, inhaling hard to believe
Seven billion in the word
Finding you is like a miracle
Only this wonder remains

With so many people in the world, I really went to my former boss. Back then, he was just my boss and I was an assistant. Now, she will be my wife.

Could I love you anymore?
Could I love you anymore?
Could I love you anymore?

Although not everything has been easy for us, we still promise each other that we will not give up on any trial.

I looked at Clyde's parents. It was both smiling and traces of joy on its faces. I lowered my gaze to Clyde's mother's arm.

My heart was touched as I saw my one -year -old son in its arms.

Our baby. Baby Natalie Salvadore. Our angel.

After what happened in the abandoned building. After I was kidnapped, I was confined in the hospital for a month. I slept for a month while Daniella and his father died.

All of that wasn't easy for Clyde either. Fortunately, I recovered afterwards and gave birth to a baby girl. My baby Natalie.

The song ended and I got in front of the altar and in front of Clyde.

"God, you look so beautiful honey." It made me cry.

"Thank you. You look handsome too." I spoke and it took my hand and the ceremony began.

FATHER STARTED SPEAKING until we reached the exchange vows. Clyde took my hand and was ready to insert the ring into my finger.

"Nathania Rose Oliveros, and later, you will be Nathania Rose Salvadore." I smiled at what it said.

"I know I was cruel and rude to you. I was cruel to you and I am very sorry for that. I'm sorry for all the wrong I did to you. It's my first time to feel this love so I was lost. I didn't know what to do. All I want is for you to come in. But I don't think that from what I did, you will lose heart from me. " Sigh it.

"Thank you for accepting me, honey. Thank you for forgiving me, and thank you for loving me. Thank you for giving birth to our baby Natalie. Thank you for being here with me in this church. I love you so much. I promise that we will be together no matter what happens. We will fight together in the trials to come. I love you. " Tears welled up in my eyes so I wiped them away immediately.

He inserted the ring on my finger and now it's my time to say my vow.

"Thank you too. Thank you for loving someone like me. I know everything hasn't been easy with you so thanks for fighting. Thank you for fighting me. I also promise to love and take care of you and our son. I love you Clyde Marcus Salvadore. I love you so much. " I inserted the ring on his finger.

"You may know kiss the bride." The father announced and when Clyde kissed me, everyone cheered.

I just closed my eyes. I'm so happy. I am now Salvadore and I admit, I am a slave of my love towards him. We're both slaves of our love.

He's Enslaved by me and I am Enslaved by him.

"Lucifer, I'm pregnant." I nervously said while standing in front of him.

Without any emotions in his face, he stared at me.

"Then?" He uttered and I was stunned by what he said.

"Lucifer, I am pregnant and you're the father!" I expected him to be shocked but his blank face remained.

"Then why are you here?" I was shocked when I heard him say that. I somehow expected him to be like this but I'm still hoping that he will accept the baby.

"I am here because you are the father of this child, Lucifer! I want you to know that you got me pregnant!" My annoyance began to rise.

"Really? I'm the father?" I saw it grin as if mocking.

What's wrong with him?

Why if she acts like I'm not pregnant with her?

"Is that even mine?" My eyes widen and I stilled.

"It's yours, Lucifer! Why if you act like you don't exist ?! This is yours! This is your son!" I shouted but he stood up.

"We didn't even had sex, so how come you're pregnant with my child?" The anger I had been holding back finally disappeared because of the question.

"Are you crazy ?! Or are you just wondering Lucifer? Do you think I'm going to come here just to be desperate to say you're its father if you're not really? Of course I'm going here because you're the father of this boy!"

"You're desperate, Lara. We didn't have sex. Maybe the father of that child is your soon to be groom. Why don't you go to him and tell him that you're pregnant and he's the father?" He smirked.

"B-Are you crazy? How can I get pregnant if nothing happened to us ?!" I think I'll be exhausted after this.

My fist clenched as Lucifer walked over to me.

"H-Don't you remember? In your condo–"

"When? I didn't remember Lara. Stop being so assuming. I'm not interested in your body." I felt a pang in my chest.

You're so merciless, Lucifer. How can you be so evil? Why are you so rude to me?

"You were drunk that time, Lucifer. G-You came from the bar, you were so drunk that I took you to your condo. Something n-happened to us that night–"

"Stop making things, Lara. Stop stalking me and stop being so desperate." He gritted his teeth. I know he's already mad right now.

"L-Lucifer, I'm telling the truth. I'm pregnant and you're the father. Why can't you accept it, Lucifer? You're going to be a father!" My tears started to run down my face. It hurts. It was even more painful than him pushing me away.

Why can't he accept me? Why doesn't he try to like me? What else am I missing?

I gave it my all to him! I have given my heart and body! I gave everything because I love him! I love him!

"Stop crying and go back to your fiancé. Tell him that you're pregnant. I don't believe that it's mine Lara. You keep on stalking me while you have a fiancé. What kind of girl are you?" I couldn't believe I looked at him.

"A-After you took my v-virginity, you're going to be like this ?!" I shouted.

"I didn't took your virginity, Lara. It's your fiancé who took your innocence so tell that bastard that you're pregnant with his child–"

"Nothing happened to us! You were the one before me, Lucifer! This is not his child but you! You! It's your child, Lucifer! Your child! Stick it in your neck that nothing happened to that man and you are the only one "Before me. If you don't remember, I'm telling the truth! Even when this child comes out, get a DNA test, you idiot!" I gasped after telling him all that. I'm so furious. He did not want to take the child to him.

Even pity he feels nothing for me? He's a demon!
He is so demonic! But even though he's a demon here, I still feel for him. Your love is still here.

He's just staring at me seriously. He's mad. Very mad.

What should I do to make him fall for me? I slowly knelt down.

I kneeled in front of him. If I have to beg, then I'll do it.

"P-Please, Lucifer. I love you. What should I do to make you love me too? Is it still missing? What else is missing from me? Tell me. Do you want me to strip? I'll do it! Just love me, Lucifer! " I started to remove my shirt but I stopped when he started to talk again.

"Love doesn't beg. Stand up and have some respect for yourself Lara. Even if you kneel, I still won't love you. I don't love you Lara, so leave. Stop stalking me and stop being desperate. Stop begging for my love. And if that's really my child, then I'll support him but if it's not mine, then don't show me your face anymore. " I wiped my tears and I stood up.

I stared at him intently and stared.

"I love you, Lucifer. If you think I'm going to give up because of what you said, I can't. I'll still fight, especially now that we're going to have children." I said last before turning to him and leaving his office.

When I came out, I found Lucifer's secretary talking to a woman. I looked at it and remembered she was the woman in the hall of the cr. This includes Lucifer's cousin Clyde. Is that Clyde's girlfriend?

Instead of focusing on the woman, I just left the place in tears.

If you think I'll stop loving you, Lucifer then you're very wrong. Even if they say I am a martyr and desperate, I will not give up.

I'll still chase the demon.

THE END ...
