My Ex Next Door-114 Chapter 114: Does Novie really worth it?
Daniella occupied the driver seat and before starting the car, she speaks up in a serious tone, "I need to tell you something Novie. After that, I want you to tell me if you change your mind about getting the throne or not" Daniella's serious tone made Novie realize that something was off.
They drove for almost an hour and when Daniella turned the car off. She found herself in an old warehouse.
"What are we doing here?" she asked. The place was giving her goosebumps.
"I want to show you something." Saying that Daniella pushed the door opened and Novie saw Peyton inside and next to her was two chairs with a man sitting with his body tied up while the woman on Peyton's other side was blindfolded.
Her lips parted in shock when she recognized their faces. It was John and Anna.
John had one of his leg cut off while Anna's skin was pale as a sheet. Based on all the dirt over her body, she realized that they must have been tied up for days.
Novie turned to Daniella in terror. She had only seen this in the movie and seeing it personally was making her throat sour. She wanted to run and removed the chain in their hands and feet but she knows she could not do it.
"What… What is happening?" she asked in terror.
"John was the man who kidnapped you and my kids while Anna, she's the person who installed the bug s in my house. My family trusted her so she was able to get into my house, and now the people who want my beautiful body dead have all the information they needed to finish me off" Novie turned to Daniella in shock. She thought why John and Anna are suffering like this but, now she understands why.
"What do you want me to do?" she blows a long sighed and chewed on her lower lips in anxiety. Wondering what does Daniella wanted her to do.
"Novie, in three months. The Aldovia will make a decision, if you don't show up and take the throne, they will give it to Althea's fiance, and if he does take it, we won't have another chance to get that kind of power for protection. So..." Daniella paused while she tried to absurd all of her words.
"You have three months to think about it. I can secure the position during that period" Novie just stared at Daniella, wondering what she had in her mind.
"What if I don't take the throne? What will happen?" she asked in curiosity.
Daniella sighed and replied, "We will have bodyguards tailing us every day like a dog. If you will take the throne, all the people who are after you and your family will stop which leaves me with that freaking organization. I don't even know anything about them which means me and twin's life are in danger" Daniella explained.
"Does Danny knows this?" she asked.
Daniella shook her head, "No. He just got back with Saina, so I will have to wait." Daniella clicked her tongue and walked towards John and Anna.
"Daniella, honestly, I don't really want it but, at the same time, I am scared of what can happen. So, tell me the truth. What will happen if I don't take the throne" she grabbed Daniella's arm to stop her from walking.
"Financially, nothing but the guards I will hire are humans who can be corrupted. So, it only takes one greedy person to get us killed. I am not going to force you but, I hope you can reconsider. You have three months to think about it" Then Daniella removed her hands and walked to Anna's direction.
"Don't worry Novie, they didn't hear our conversation." saying that, Daniella pulled something out of Anna's ear and the woman started screaming.
When Daniella removed Anna's blindfold, the woman's eyes widened in fear.
"What…what is this Daniella? Why am I here?" Anna asked in a panic.
Novie narrowed her eyes and watched Daniella closely, the emotion she had in her face and her confidence.
"I just want to show Novie how it was to be betrayed by someone you trusted" Daniella scoffed and lifted Anna's face.
Anna gave Daniella a sharp look while her lips curved up a bitter smile.
"Why do you need me? aren't you a Master of betrayal? I was your friend and what you did to me pushed me to the edge. So you deserve to die, Daniella. You can kill me and John but, you have no idea what is coming… one of the people you trusted the most will kill you… It could be one of your friends, family… who knows? It might be even Novie." Anna laughed wickedly.
"I will never betray her" Novie spoke. Daniella is now a part of her family and she wouldn't dream of betraying her.
She doesn't know what went wrong in their friendship but, she knows she's part of it. The anger she's seeing in Anna's eyes, the way she glared at Daniella, if her eyes were only a gun, Daniella will be dead by now.
"Daniella, Does Novie really worth it?" Anna spoke while her eyes narrowed, weighing Daniella's expression.
When Novie looked at Daniella, the woman had a smirked on her face, confidence overflowed her personality.
"Yes, because she's my family" Saying that Daniella took her hand and asked Peyton to follow them.
