Addicted Chapter 109
Isabella's POV Our eyes locked with each other, it felt like we were in a little world of our own, and nothing else mattered, because even as much as I knew I was supposed to pull away, I didn't want to. '' Your eyes still captivate me,'' Xander whispered as he stuck some loose strands of hair behind my ear. '' I am sorry, I am sorry, this is all my fault,'' I let out as I tried to get off him, but surprisingly Xander didn't let me go, he just held me even tighter in his arms. '' Don't go,'' Xander whispered to me and to the heaven I truly didn't want to go, but I knew that if I didn't, if I stayed, even if it was for a little bit, I wouldn't be able to control myself. '' I think that is enough training for today,'' I whispered as I forced myself off him, slowly getting up to my feet. '' Okay, I will see you tomorrow then,'' Xander stood up, saying. '' See you tomorrow,'' I whispered as I left the gym and made my way up to my room. As soon as I got in, Mia was seated there with

Isabella's POV I never expected Xander to show up at my door by this time, but here he is wanting to train at that break of dawn. I hated it, it was too early, and I was barely awake, but I guess it was all my fault. Because I asked him to teach me how to fight. Reluctantly, I got ready and followed him to the gym. ''Why are you making me do this at this time? It is way too early. Who trains at this time,'' I asked him and he smirked. '' Well, I do. For me it is the best time,'' Xander answered. '' It is a bad time for me, I need sleep,'' I grumbled, and Xander rolled his eyes. '' you asked for this, so you have to deal with it unless you do not want me to teach you how to fight anymore,'' Xander let out and I grumbled. '' Fine, have it your way,'' I said. We soon started the training and Xander was the worst but also the best coach anyone could ask for. '' Come on, maintain your stance,'' Xander said as he continued to teach me. Hours went by, and the training got even mor

Isabella's POV '' You look beautiful,'' Mia said as she put some finishing touches on me. '' Yes my girl, you look like the princess you are,'' Mary let out with a smile on her face. Smiling, I looked at myself in the mirror and, indeed, I looked beautiful. '' Thank you,'' I smiled and said nervously. I was nervous as hell. I know you might ask why. This was not my first time going out with the Draco, so I don't even know why I am this nervous. ''Maybe because those times were different, and now I am going out with him as his date,'' I said to myself, as I took in a deep breath. ''Come on, you have to get going, I am sure the boss is waiting for you,'' Mary let out, breaking me out of my invading thought. So, with a nervous smile, I nodded my head and Mia handed me my purse with a smile on her face. '' Have fun okay, and don't overthink this,'' Mia smiled, saying as she hugged me goodbye, pushing me out of the door. I walked down the stairs, with my hands shaking like a leaf

Isabella's POVEverything felt like it was moving in slow motion. Xander was in my arms and I was covered in his blood as I screamed at the now chaotic crowd of people, but it felt like my voice was being drowned out in the chaos.I looked at Xander's unconscious form with my heart racing profusely in my chest as tears ran down my eyes. Even more. I tried to pressure his wound so he wouldn't bleed out. Because at that moment I didn't know what else to do, even though I was currently thinking of a million things all at the same time.'' Please don't die,'' I whispered incessantly at him as I continued to scream for help.Luckily for me, I saw Ryan. One of Xander's men ran up to us.'' Help me, please help him,'' I cried out.'' Don't worry, the Draco will be okay,'' He said as he took out his phone, calling god knows who.'' The Draco is down, I repeat the Draco is down, I need all the men on the floor right now,'' He said on the phone.And just like magic, the place was filled with ma

Isabella's POVSurprisingly, I slept through the night, and by the time I woke up, it was already noon.'' Xander,'' my mind immediately went over to him, as I hurried out of bed.'' Isabella,'' I soon heard Mary immediately call out to me.'' I need to go and see him,'' I let out.'' Do you want to change first,'' Mary asked.'' No, I don't want to, I am fine like this,'' I said, running out of the room before she could stop me.'' Wait, I will come with you,'' Mary let out running after her.I hurried to the room where Xander was being kept, and it was guarded by two men. I wanted to enter but the men stopped me.'' What is this, why are you stopping me? why can't I see him,'' I yelled, but the men didn't answer me, as they acted as if I was not even speaking.'' Am I not talking? I want to see the Draco and I want to see him now,'' I yelled as I tried to enter his room, but I was stopped again.''

Isabella's POVIt had been over a week and I still hadn't seen or heard anything about Xander or how he was doing. Xavier still had the order not to let me into his room, and honestly, I was slowly losing my mind, sleep had now become a stranger to me, and food now tasted sour in my mouth.My mind kept racing profusely, as so many negative thoughts ran through my head. I didn't know what to think anymore, as I kept dismissing the idea in my head that Xander was dead because it looked like Xavier was trying to take over.I had even hoped that Mary would bring news of Xander's well-being, but there had been nothing from her, as she kept on saying that she was still not allowed in there.I was frustrated, I even tried defiling all the odds, and just busting in there to see him, but every time I tried, Xavier was there to stop me, and right now I didn't know what to do anymore.'' Ugh, god I really can not take this anymore,'' I let out as I looked at Mary who was still seated there looki

Isabella's POV'' What? No that can not be,'' Manny let out, standing up to his feet as he looked at me in disbelief.'' He was shot at the city's charity ball,'' I said, and Manny still didn't believe it.'' How did it happen? Who did it? Was he not supposed to be with his men?'' Manny asked me so many questions all at the same time.'' Manny, it all happened so fast. First, there was an explosion, and then before I knew it, Xander was on the floor bleeding out. I didn't see the person responsible,'' I tried to clarify.'' Oh my goodness, why did no one call us, his father doesn't know,'' Manny let out as he took out his phone.'' What are you doing?'' I asked.'' Calling his father, of course, Agustín has to know what happened to his son,'' Manny answered.He was on the phone for a while, and when he was done he turned back to me.'' Agustín will be here tonight, but tell me, how is he? I want to see him,'' Manny said and my face fell in dismay.'' Isabella, what is going on? Where

Cora's POVI froze as I saw Ruby walk in with an unreadable expression on her face as she looked at me, but soon her demeanour changed immediately as she drifted her gaze towards Xander.'' Oh my goodness baby, how did this happen,'' Ruby asked as she ran over to Xander.'' Yes son, how did you allow yourself to get shot like this? Where were your men when this happened? The Draco getting shot in his city had never happened before.'' Agustín let out, scolding his son.'' It all happened so fast dad, I didn't see who did this,'' Xander answered, but his face clearly showed that there was more he was not telling us.'' Son, are you telling me that you didn't see the person that did this to you,'' Agustin scolded Xander, and I wondered what kind of father he was. His son almost died and all he could do was scold him.'' I did see anything Dad, get off my back already,'' Xander tried to yell, but he whimpered in pain, rolling his eyes.'' Don't worry baby, I am just glad that you are okay

Isabella's POVI never believed that saying about your life flashing before your eyes when you're about to die. It always seemed cliché and stupid. But everything changed when I stood face-to-face with death, and my life replayed before me, both the good and the bad.---One Month LaterXander Diaz, known as "the Draco," was killed in a shoot-out with the police. The most dangerous man in the city was gunned down. There has been no statement from his family, and the police urged citizens to celebrate this victory, claiming peace had been restored."The chief of police assures us that the Draco will no longer wreak havoc in our city. We now head to the cemetery where the notorious mafia king is being laid to rest," the reporter said before the TV went black."Hey, I was watching that," I yelled, turning to see Xander holding the remote, and smiling."Aren't you tired of watching the news about my death? That's all they talk about these days. I didn't know I was this important," Xander

Isabella's POV:Three weeks had passed in the blink of an eye. Here we remained, entrenched in the safety of our secluded hideout, while Xander and Javier meticulously plotted their next move against Xavier. Despite the passage of time, my unease around Javier persisted like a stubborn shadow, casting doubt upon every whispered plan and stolen moment of respite.Xander and I got back together like the separation had never happened. Yet beneath the veneer of our rekindled love lay a constant churn of uncertainty. Thoughts of Judith, and the callous manner in which Xavier had snatched her away from me, haunted my every waking moment like a relentless specter."Thinking won't change a thing, you know that right," Xander's voice broke through the suffocating silence, pulling me back from the brink of my spiraling thoughts."What's on your mind?" he inquired, his warm breath sending shivers down my spine as his lips brushed against mine in a tender caress."Judith," I confessed, my voice b

Isabella's POV It felt like we were trapped between the devil and the deep blue sea, caught in a vortex of danger with no escape in sight. Xavier's relentless pursuit loomed over us like a shadow, while the sudden appearance of Javier, Xander's longtime enemy, only added to our peril. "We're done for now. I don't think we'll ever get out of this alive. If Xavier doesn't get to us, Javier will," I murmured, my voice laced with resignation as I scanned the bleak horizon. As I braced myself for the worst, I closed my eyes, steeling myself for the inevitable confrontation with either of them. But his unexpected offer of salvation shattered the silence, his words cutting through the suffocating tension like a ray of hope. "Get in if you want to live. You can't outrun them," Javier's voice broke through the chaos, his tone surprisingly sincere. Doubt gnawed at my insides as I grappled with the sudden turn of events. "Was Javier actually trying to save us?" "No, this must be a trick, a

Isabella's POV"I didn't stutter. Did I? Marry me, and I'll be your saviour," Xavier's voice oozed with a sinister charm that made my skin crawl. Each syllable felt like a dagger aimed straight at my heart."How can you even ask that? Why would I marry you, Xavier, when it's clear you hold nothing but disdain for me?" My voice quivered with a mix of fear and defiance, unable to hide the loathing simmering beneath the surface."I don't despise you. You're merely a pawn in this twisted game," Xavier's words slithered out, his gaze piercing through me as he closed the distance between us. "Marry me, and I'll bestow upon you a life beyond your wildest dreams.""What about Ruby? You made promises to her too," I challenged, my voice trembling with the weight of betrayal and hurt."Ruby was a foolish distraction. It was never my intention to marry her. Say yes, and you'll stand by my side as the Draco's queen," he urged, his smile sending shivers down my spine as his finger brushed against m

Xander's POVHearing the gunshots, I swiftly turned around, my gun clenched tightly in my hands, ready to defend myself and my men. To my dismay, I found them sprawled on the ground, incapacitated, while Xavier stood tall beside them, a smirk of satisfaction etched on his face.The revelation shook me to my core. My own cousin, the perpetrator of such a betrayal? I had spared his life once; was this the gratitude I received in return?"Hi, Cousin. It seems you've decided to join us. I was anticipating your arrival," Xavier greeted, his voice dripping with malice as he surveyed the chaos he had orchestrated."Xavier, damn you! So, it was you all along. How could you sink so low?" I exclaimed, a mixture of shock and rage coursing through me as I leveled my gun at him. But Xavier's response was a mocking laugh, his eyes gleaming with a dark amusement."Oh, dear cousin, you've yet to fathom the depths to which I can sink," he taunted, his smirk widening into a sinister grin. I prepared to

Xander's POV"What do you mean she's been taken?" I roared, my anger surging like a tidal wave, crashing against the shores of my composure."I'm sorry, boss. I was knocked out cold, and when I came to, she and her guardian were gone. I went back to their house, but it was empty. I fear the worst, Draco," the man confessed, his voice trembling with fear, his eyes darting nervously around the room as if expecting my wrath to materialize into physical force."How dare you return with such news!" I bellowed, the force of my voice reverberating off the walls like thunder. I seized a glass from the table, hurling it against the wall behind him. It shattered into a thousand glittering fragments, mirroring the shattered pieces of my control. He cowered before me, his knees shaking in terror, a stark contrast to the facade of toughness he usually wore."I-I'm sorry, boss," he stammered, his fear palpable, his hands trembling as he struggled to maintain his composure in the face of my rage."W

Xander's POV Days turned into months, each one a relentless reminder of Bella's absence. The gaping void she left behind refused to be filled, a constant ache in my chest that I couldn't shake. I understood why she had to leave, though. Agustin's actions were a stain on our family name, an unforgivable betrayal that tainted everything it touched. But despite the pain, a flicker of hope lingered in the depths of my heart, a desperate wish that Bella could find it in herself to forgive me for the sins of my father. "Son, stop torturing yourself over her. It's better this way," Agustin's voice grated on my nerves, each word a reminder of his role in driving her away. "Why are you still here? Didn't I ask you to leave?" I snapped, frustration boiling over. "Xander, you're my son. I can't just abandon you in your time of need," he replied, his tone almost pleading. "This man is pushing me to my limits," I muttered under my breath. "Look, Agustin, I don't want you around. You've caused

Isabella's POV Many months slowly passed by, and I gradually settled in my hometown.I still thought of Xander, because his ring reminded me of him. I knew I couldn't forget him even if I tried, so I stopped forcing myself to.I frequently visited my father's grave, as being with him greatly helped me.So today, I wanted to visit him as well.'' Judith, I am going to see my father,'' I said, and she nodded.'' Alright, why don't I come with you today? Judith suggested, and I looked at her surprised because she never wanted to come with me in the past.'' Don't look at me like that, I just want to go with you.'' she rolled her eyes.''I know you always want to be alone with him, but I would like to come and pay my respect as well.'' Judith let out.'' Are you sure?'' I asked, and she rolled her eyes yet again.'' I am an old woman, don't you think by now I would be sure of what I want to do,'' she replied.'' Okay, that will not be a problem. I would be happy if you came,'' I smiled a

The guilt I had about my father's death was all gone now that I knew who truly took him from me.I hated Agustin with all of my heart, how I wish I could put a bullet in his head.'' So why didn't you? Because no one would blame you if you did, not ever Xander,'' the voices in my head said to me.''No, even though I wanted so badly to end his life just like he ended my dad's life, I couldn't do it, because it would make me just as guilty as him,'' I said to the voices as I dismissed that thought immediately.Getting out of the airport, I took a taxi to Judith's house.A lot of emotion took over me as the car stopped in front of her house. I got down and walked to her front porch, taking in a deep breath,
