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 POVRight now, it felt like my world was at a standstill, but it was also spinning out of control all at the same time.I stayed in my room all day because I didn't want to see anyone, my mind could not stop itself from thinking about the mess that I had just put myself into. I was in love with someone that belonged to another.'' Ugh,'' I groaned out, as I was currently being consumed by a huge wave of emotions.'' Isabella, what is going on with you,'' I scolded myself.I was still lost in thought when the door opened and Mary walked in with a tray of food in hand.'' Hey, I brought you dinner, because I knew you wouldn't want to come down as always,'' Mary said and I smiled.'' Thank you, I don't know what I would have done without you,'' I let out, as I was thankful that she was here because I was quite hungry.'' I know, I am kind of your favourite person in this house,'' Mary smiled, saying.'' Of course, you are Mary, you are my only favourite person in this house,'
Isabella's POVEven as my mind had a mind of its own, I still tried to get some sleep, though it was so hard to do because now my dreams were haunted by the memories of that night, some were good, but most of them were horrible, as I still saw myself holding Xander's bloody body in my hand's once again.Thankfully, I drifted back to reality when I heard a knock at the door.I quickly opened my eyes, blinking profusely as the rays of the sunrise threatened to blind me.Getting comfortable in the light, I heard the knock yet again, so I stood up and walked over to the door.Opening it, I was Manny standing there with a huge bouquet of white roses in his hands.I was kind of surprised seeing him here so early this morning, with flowers in his hands.'' Manny what is this?'' I asked.'' I am sorry,'' He let out with remorse laced in his voice.And I was wondering why he was apologising, but then I remembered the argument we had yesterday, and to the heavens, I forgot about that.'' Hey, I
Isabella's POVI walked towards Xander's room with Manny, and my heart was beating out of control and I didn't even know why. No that was a lie, I actually did know why. Because ever since that night my heart knew what it wanted, it has filled me with nothing but fear, knowing now that my heart could not have what it desired. Taking in a deep breath, Manny walked me into the room, Xander's eyes were closed and it looked like he was asleep, but the second I stepped in, his eyes flung up. A smile crept onto his face but it died down immediately as soon as he saw Manny by my side. A scowl sat pretty on his face as his eyes drifted between me and Manny. '' Why are you here?'' Xander asked as his eyes trailed on me now. '' We came to see how you are doing,'' Manny quickly answered as I shivered nonstop under his gaze, as I slowly found myself getting lost in his eyes. '' Oh is that so,'' Xander asked as his eyes never left me. '' Yes, we came to see how you doing, and we can see t
Isabella's POVI was drowning in an ocean of invading thoughts, and Xander was at the centre of it all. It felt like he was the only thing I could think of lately, even when I knew I didn't want to.I was with Manny in the car right now, but it felt like I wasn't.'' Are you okay babe,'' I soon heard Manny ask.'' Yes, I am,'' I smiled, looking up at him.'' Are you sure because you have been very quiet and you are never this quiet,'' Manny let out and I shook my head.'' I am fine, I just have a little headache, that is all,'' I lied.'' Oh my, do you want us to go to the doctor first,'' Manny asked and I shook my head.'' No, don't bother yourself, It is just a headache,'' I said and Manny nodded as he held onto my hand, kissing it softly.'' Don't worry, we will soon get to where we are going, and I am sure if you see where I am taking you too, you will feel much better,'' Manny let out, and I forced myself to smile.'' I can not wait,'' I lied again as I turned my head to look out
Isabella's POV''Do not say those words to me again,'' I whispered, and Manny looked at me confused.'' Isabella why? why shouldn't I tell you that I love you?'' Manny asked.'' Because you can not love me,'' I let out as my eyes trailed to the floor.'' Isabella, why is that? Remember we do not choose who we love,'' Manny asked.'' You can not love someone like me, Manny, when all this is all over, I will leave this place and I don't know if this love you have for me will survive the outside world,'' I answered, but I knew that was not the real reason.'' Isabella, look at me,'' he said as he lifted my head to look at him.'' I do not care, I love you and that is all that matters, and when all this is over we will figure it out okay,'' Manny said.'' But what if,'' I wanted to protest but Manny stopped.''As I said before, you don't have to say those words back to me right now, I will wait for as long as it takes because you are worth it. And this love I have for you is big enough fo
Isabella's POV I just told Mia about my feelings for the Draco, and she was so happy about it, but now she is looking at me with an unreadable look in her eyes.'' Mia say something please.'' I let out because what she just said was not what I wanted to hear.'' Isa what else do you want me to say, like I said it was about time you finally recognized your feelings for him, so tell me what are you going to do now, are you going to tell Manny that you are in love with the Draco,'' Mia said and I shook my head.'' That is the problem, Mia. I am in a dilemma right now. How do you expect me to tell Manny that? He has been nothing but good to me. I can not bring myself to break his heart,'' I said and Mia rolled her eyes.'' So what are you saying? Are you going to stay with a man that you don't love?'' Mia asked.'' I never said that I didn't love him,'' I let out and Mia laughed.'' You didn't have to, it is written all over your face,'' Mia said and I breathed out heavily.'' I care ab
