"Truth made you a traitor as it often does in a time of scoundrels"

-Lillian Hellman-

***

Natasha's P.O.V

Dean !
That man comes right on time, which makes me kind of relieved and worried at the same time. Don't ask me why, but as soon as the knife drops and I am on Angelo's arms again, I feel safe.

My breath is out of control, and I guess that what happens to the people on life sentences, no, perhaps they feel worse.

I touch my neck and find some blood, it seems like before the knife dropped, it scratched my neck a little bit.

"Are you okay ?" Angelo asks me with a worried expression on his face.

"No, of course I am not" I say in a slightly annoyed tone. I know it is not the right time to be annoyed, but I don't even care anymore about that, all I can think about is slapping Nicholas good on his face.

"Well, look like somebody is trying to create trouble, huh ?" Dean says as he knuckles his hands.

"Damn it, who the hell are you anyway ?" Nicholas says as he tries to stand up from his place.

"Just a friendly friend of the man whom woman you try to steal, no offense though"

I get myself out of Angelo's grip and approach Nicholas. I don't take any hesitation as I immediately slap his right cheek.

"That is for hurting my heart"

After that I slap his left cheek.

"That is for toying with me"

And last but not least, I clench my fist and punch him straight on his face.

"That is for trying to abduct me and separating me from Angelo"

After that, I stands up, and step away from him.

"Wow, she's rough" I can hear Dean whispers to Angelo, hm, don't mess with an angry woman, you just don't.

"Alright, I guess I will take care of this man right here, bring him to the police and you simply don't have to see him again" Dean drags his collar as some of Angelo's men go along with him as they brought now, unconscious, Nicholas, away from our sight.

"Helena" I turn around and look at the woman in front of me. Gosh, for some reason, I really pity her, but on the other side, I hate her.

"Sasha" she says.

"No, Natasha" I say honestly. I feel like there is no more need to hide who I really am, it's over, I already get my revenge, though it ends in an unexpected way, but I feel satisfied.

She approaches me, and my first thought is her blaming me for everything, I don't care, I will take that blame.

"I'm sorry" she says in an apologetic expression.

Okay, did I mishear it or what ?

Is she actually apologizing, to me ?

"Excuse me ?" I am confused right now, why is she apologizing ?

"I didn't know that Nicholas was already married, I swear, I didn't, if I knew about it, I wouldn't even let him get into my life. I am not that cheap of a person, stealing someone's man, especially from someone like you, is just straight forwardly low, and I just want to say sorry, I misjudged you, I thought that you were the one trying to steal him from me, but I didn't know the background story, I should've done so, and ..."

I cut her words right in the middle.

"No, it's not your fault, I am sorry as well for making you feel like so, though I hated you at first for stealing him, I should've known your situation as well"

Those words should make things better.

"Right" she clears herself up and tidying up her whole appearance.

"Well, I guess it's done, I should just go back to Tigress Club's business and find another man" well, here is the classy lady.

"Thank God we didn't get married yet" she says to finish her sentences.

"If you will excuse me" she immediately walks away as if nothing major just happened.

Guess she has a good point about her as well, huh ?

"Let's go home" Angelo says as he grabs my hand.

"Yeah, let's" I hold his hand tight as we both go outside and get the car.

On our way home, he asks me several questions, like how things started and all, and I answer them all honestly, and then we reach the point when I was returned to the home for brief second at the moment when I saw John's true nature.

"He betrayed me, he gave away my passport to Nicholas and he said that your life would be much better without me, at that moment, I didn't understand what he meant, but one thing that I know, is the fact that John is trying to get rid of me, or getting me out from your life"

I don't even hide anything from Angelo regarding John.

Because that feeling of being betrayed is much greater than any sort of pain that I have ever experienced, but it doesn't hurt that much since it's not coming from someone I have feelings for, but still, when your good friend betrays you, you just get furious and confused at the same time, until you find the answer.

And that answer is often not a good one.

It doesn't take me long to know Angelo is on my side, and knowing that Angelo trusts me this much just proves how much he actually loves me.

Since when you are in love with someone, you either get possessive or trust them. But in his case, he can be both.

"I can't believe he actually does something like that, I have known him for so long, and he has always been a loyal and trusted person for me" he says as he get bewildered by the truth.

"But he did, and I don't want to have such a dangerous person around me, you can call me selfish Angelo, but I really don't want him around me any longer"

We arrive at our house, and I step out from the car, followed by him.

He opens the door for me since I am still not feeling quite well, call it silly, but I seriously have no nerves left to just simply open a doorknob after that one last punch.

And now, there is still one more thing to be faced.

I see John slowly coming our way, and I know right away, I am facing something worse than Nicholas.

A traitor.
