Chapter 24: Rescue Me

Y/N's POV

I had just finished my conversation with Plagg when suddenly Mayura came and checked on me. She chuckled as she walked from the elevator to my cage. Since the elevator was on the other side of the bridge, opposite and vertical to me and Emilie, I could hear her heals click as she walked.

"Y/N, Y/N, Y/N." she softly chanted my name. "What would happen to your pretty face if you don't shut your mouth?" she said, fake sobbing. "Oh no! Your modelling career?" her voice sounded sarcastic. She chuckled again. "If only you weren't so weak."

"And if only you knew how ugly you are." I said and she scowled.

"Me? Ugly? Oh no. What should I do? Any skin care tips, Ms. Règle?" she sarcastically asked.

"Aha! Sorry, Mayura. But even the strongest toner won't give you any serious improvement." I answered, a confident smirk was on my face. "Why would you need skin care anyway? Are you insecure of Emilie Agreste? Awe, poor you." I insulted her. "Just look at Mrs. Agreste, she's gorgeous... and Gabriel is doing everything to bring her back. While you? You're just a mere secretary that can be discarded once the plan succeeds." I said and she glared at me.

"What do you know about me and Gabr—"

"I know enough to see that he's never going to love you back." I declared, cutting off her sentence. She screamed at me and tried to attack me while I was in the cage and I snickered at her. "Awe, poor Nathalie. Did that trigger you? Good." I said.

"Might I remind you, Y/N. That you wouldn't even be here if you weren't so weak! If you defeated your former driver in that car, then you wouldn't even be suffering here. That only proves how weak you are!" Mayura yelled, she was furious, her voice and face did a good job in portraying how furious she is.

"You know what's weak, Nathalie? Your insults." I said, my confident smirk turned into a wide boastful grin. Her angry face suddenly lit up and she chuckled.

"You made me remember something." she chuckled again. "Did they tell you that you were sent to the Philippines because you're mother wanted you safe from Hawkmoth?" she said and I confusedly stared at her. I stayed silent thinking of what to say as I glared. Mayura chuckled at me. "Guess what? They lied to you. Aww, maybe they don't love you enough to tell you the truth." she laughed. "Poor, poor Y/N. Thrown away to another country, because her mother and father wanted to stay as LadyBug and Chat Noir." she said.

"What?" my eyes widened in shock. My parents were... LadyBug and Chat Noir? Oh my goodness! Excitement and happiness came pumping through my brain, damn. That's the first good thing I've heard in a while. This makes so much sense! That's why they were attacked by HawkMoth. That's why they sent me to the Philippines because they wanted me safe! After hearing that, my energy went from 2% to 200% again. There's still hope for me, because mom and dad would know what to do.

"Oh, you didn't know?" she chuckled but I smiled at her.

"I did know, Nathalie. And what even is your point? Saying that to me won't make any difference." I confidently said. My voice sounded strong, like I wasn't beaten up at all. Like I'm fine, like my body isn't aching. She looked confused.

"You're not mad at your parents? They told you lies! They hid the truth from you because they don't love you!" Mayura yelled again.

"Your stupidity is out of this world, Nathalie." I said. "I can see why Gabriel is never going to fall in love with a mere secretary." and with that she left, scowling at me as she went inside the elevator.
