Isabella's POV 2 more weeks had gone by and still no sign of the Draco. Well, it wasn't like I was counting the days or anything, because I still didn't care if he showed up or not because even though my curiosity about the red-eyed man was still trying to get the better of me, I knew he was trouble, so it was best he stayed away for good. But apart from my constant thoughts of the one who I really wanted to forget about, everything around here had been great. Working at the club was going better than I expected. Little Bella soon became a household name and everyone could not get enough of me. I even had a personal time slot for a stage performance just for me. Yeah, I was having the time of my life and it was all thanks to my first performance for the Draco. But back at the apartment, Aiden and I still had this awkward would they won't they type of tension, that sometimes I just wanted to forget about everything else and just kiss him, but it didn't quite help that my mind

Isabella's POV Getting to the club was as usual. in no time. The club paradise was filled with people cheering loudly at the dancers performing and waiters bustling their asses off to collect and return drink orders. But before I could even think of walking over to the dressing room to get settled and get started with my shift, Dan rushed up to me screaming through the music. “You are late... "' He screamed and I rolled my eyes, looking down at my phone, checking the time. I was just barely 5 minutes late... but still, Dan always had to be Dan and complain about nothing. Taking in a deep breath, I squared my shoulders, looking directly at him. “I'm sorry it will never happen again," I said. “It's better not, Isabella because look at those names and pictures that are on the wall of this place... Yeah, yours, so I expect you to take this opportunity seriously and show up early," Dan continued to scold me

Isabella's POV I willed myself to move, I even willed myself to say something, but right now my body felt like it wasn't my own. My heart was beating so fast in my chest, that I kind of felt lightheaded for a split second. Isabella gets a hold of you..." I scolded myself as I willed myself to desperately find my composure But what did I accept? Staring into those deep red eyes again, I was what I didn't expect to happen. His tall muscular frame, his well-chiselled face, and his sugar-white hair contradict his eyes. I never thought I would see any of that again, but well, it was obvious that the universe hated me for bringing him back here. Before I could even continue to second guess myself, or blame the universe for my misfortune, he moved closer to me, closing the gap between us within seconds, and if I had thought my body was a stranger before, just because I saw him from afar, then right now my b

I thought he was gone for good, but I guess I was wrong because right now his flaming red eyes were the only thing I could think of right now.“Goodness I need some fresh air” I screamed to myself as I quickly changed out of my dress,I was about to make my way outside when Mia stopped me.“Isa... what is going on, you look as if I have just seen a ghost," Mia a

I refused to see anyone, nor could I even have a proper night's sleep.I didn't go to work, and Dan was definitely not having it, but what could I do? The image of the Draco with a gun pointing at that man's head was all I could see, it was imprinted. It made my mind that no matter how hard I tried to get rid of it, it just wouldn't leave.The memory was like a virus, spreading throughout my mind with so much speed while also eating deep into it.Mia and Aiden were constantly at my door, insisting that they see me.Mia even threatened to break down the door if I didn't come go.So, after so much hustle, I decided to let them in.“Goodness Isabella, what is wrong with you," they both screamed at the same time?

Isabella's POV If I had told you that I could see or breathe clearly at that moment, then it would have been a big lie because right now my heart was in my hands as I looked up at his tall form. “Why do you look so surprised to see me," the Draco whispered as he moved closer to me, removing the mask from my face? I couldn't bring myself to speak, my heart at that moment was racing so profusely in my heart, and my legs just shook like a leaf in the wind as I feared that I was going to fall at any moment. I willed myself over and over again, to withstand the pull of his piercing red eyes, but trust me, it was impossible. “Hmmm Isabella don't keep me waiting, say something,", Draco whispered as he caressed the corner of my face. I let out a heavy breath, as I quickly pulled my face away from his touch. “ I should leave," I let out as I turned around about to walk out of the door when immediately, the Draco pulled me back to himself by my hand. He held me closer to himself so tight

Isabella's POV I struggled to breathe, as it felt like my heart was in my hands. I walked back to the dressing room slowly, my hands were shaking just like a leaf in the wind, and I also pleaded with my legs not to give up on me in the presence of everyone there at the club. Fuck, why does this man have so much effect on me? He was like a storm, so intense and so nerve-racking, and no matter how much you try to see peace within the storm, it was just impossible. And his red eyes... God... his red eyes were just like the red sea, so intense yet so captivating, they fed deep into my soul, giving me no room to know who I was in his presence. His eyes left me feeling so weak that I had to fight to stay in control of my body. I knew he was all shades of evil, but why then was my body so drawn to this man with red eyes? '' Isa... are you okay,'' I soon heard Mia's voice ask as it took me out of my invading thoughts. I blinked profusely as I looked up at her, forcing a smile on my face,

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
Addicted Chapter 159
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

Judith, I am going to see my father,'' I said, and she nodded.'' Alright, why don't I come with you today?

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.
