Isabella's POVI was mad, I was livid, I felt used, and the positive relationship I thought I had with Manny was not so positive after all. I thought he was different, I thought he was a good person, but I didn't know that he was a wolf in sheep's clothing and a manipulator.''How could I have been so blind and stupid not to have seen this coming.'' I cried to myself as I continued to run back to my room.But Manny soon caught up with me, stopping me in my tracks immediately.'' Let me go you asshole,'' I yelled.'' Just listen to me Babe, Let me explain,'' Manny let out, but now I was disgusted by his voice.'' Don't you dare, I am not your babe, not now, not ever,'' I yelled.'' Please Isabella, just allow me to explain,'' Manny let out.'' And why should I allow you to do that, so that you can feed me with more lies, you stupid manipulator?'' I yelled.'' Isabella, please don't do this,'' Manny let out with remorse in his voice.'' Do what? Manuel,'' This was the first time I calle
Isabella's POV'' Shouldn't you go with him? Are you two, not a couple anymore? Why are you making all these fuses about it?'' I soon heard Ruby say as she walked up to us with a smirk on her face.'' Stay out of this Ruby, this has nothing to do with you,'' I let out, with anger laced in my voice, as I continued to pull at Manny's hands just to set myself free.'' that is where you are wrong. My dear, it has everything to do with me. With you gone, Xander and I can live happily ever after. So obey your boyfriend and just leave with him.'' Ruby said and I felt nothing but disgust.'' Did you know about this,'' I asked and Ruby laughed.'' Oh you poor thing, you know nothing, my dear, I was the one that made up the plan. Augstín here just gave the order and our good soldier here carried it out.'' Ruby said with a smirk on her face.'' How could you do this, you are a woman like me,'' I yelled and Ruby laughed even harder.'' Oh, you are so pathetic, I did this and I can do much more, s
Isabella's POVManny screamed in pain as he let go of me. I didn't even think. I ran over to Xander, holding him tightly.'' You shot me, you fucking shot me, you asshole,'' Manny yelled.'' Stop whining like a little child, it is just your hand,'' Xander let out and Manny groaned even more in pain.'' I am going to kill you, Xander,'' Manny screamed, and Xander chuckled softly.'' You should be happy that I didn't put a bullet into your head, Manny,'' Xander said softly with a smirk on his face.'' You wouldn't dare,'' Manny let out.'' Come on, Isabella, come back to me, we need to leave now,'' Manny let out as his gaze drifted towards me.'' She is not going anywhere with you, or maybe I should put that bullet in your head so that you will understand that she is not yours anymore to take,'' Xander yelled in anger this time.Xander soon turned around holding me in his arms, as he began to walk back into the house with me, leaving a screaming Manny behind us.We got into the house, a
Isabella's POV '' What did you just say,'' Xander asked with disbelief laced in his voice.'' Ruby here is responsible for your shooting at the charity ball,'' I said again, and Ruby looked at me with fear in her eyes.'' No, that can not be, Ruby is a lot of things. I can not stand her, but I don't think she would do something like that, she knows better than to try and kill me.'' Xander let out, as he was clearly in denial.'' Yes my love, you know me, you know very well that I can not do that, this woman has gone crazy,'' Ruby let out and I rolled my eyes.'' If it is any consolation, the bullet was meant for me, you only got in the way, trying to protect me,'' I said and Xander shook his head.'' No it can't be,'' He let out.'' What if I told you that she stupidly told me this, herself? She was so hell-bent on getting rid of me because she knew I was the only thing standing between you and her,'' I said.'' Don't listen to her my love, all that she is saying are lies,'' Ruby let
Xander's POVI slept like a baby, as I always do when she is with me. But when I woke up she was not by my side.'' Bella,'' I called out to her, thinking she was somewhere in the room, but she didn't answer me.'' Maybe she got up earlier than I did?'' I said to myself as I got up from bed.I got into the showers, as the thought of her made me smile.I was in a good mood and I was desperate for it to remain that way.I got dressed as I made my way out of the room.'' Good morning boss,'' One of my men greeted me.'' Tell me that Manny is gone, as I had instructed,'' I let out and the man nodded.'' Good, then tell Mary to bring my breakfast to the office,'' I said, as I walked over to my office.Taking my seat, I waited for Mary to show up, but instead, when the door opened, another maid brought my food, like before.'' Where is Mary? This is the second time that she has not come to bring me my breakfast.'' I let out.'' I am sorry Boss, but I can't find her anywhere,'' The maid said
Xander's POV'' Son, I am your father, you have to trust me. Marrying that girl can only bring nothing but disaster. She is not for you. Xander trusted me on this,'' My day let out and I rolled my eyes.'' I thought you had something reasonable to say, I thought your reasons were going to be good, because of the look in your eyes,'' I let out.'' Son, you have to trust me, I want what is best for you,'' my dad said.'' Nothing you have ever done has been best for me, father, so you are not changing my mind. I love this girl. I have always loved her, and I am going to ask her to be my wife.'' I let out and my dad looked all broken and surprisingly concerned. I knew there was more to this than he was telling me, but I was not going to force it, because I knew his reason wasn't going to stop me from marrying Bella anyway.'' Dad, leave because you have nothing else to say. I will marry Bella and that is final, so if you decide not to come, that is fine by me,'' I said. and my dad huffed
Isabella's POVI was in my bed not wanting to get up or do anything, Mary, my anchor here in this house was gone. So I didn't have the zeal to even get out of bed today.Mary's exit was not the only thing bothering me. Xavier and his plans to get rid of me were also a cause of concern for me.I didn't want to die, and I knew I couldn't tell Xander without concrete proof. But, getting the proof was what I didn't know how to find right now.But I had to try, I had to expose Xavier for what he truly is.I was about to walk into the showers when Mia walked in.'' Good, you are out of bed already, take your shower and get dressed. We are going out,'' Mia said with a smile on her face.'' I would love to, but I don't feel up to it,'' I let out but Mia rolled her eyes.'' Come on, Do I look like I care, Isa? I am not taking no for an answer, so you go in there and take a shower and get dressed,'' Mia said and I breathed out heavily.'' Where are we even going? I told you that I was not in th
Isabella's POVI soon fell asleep, after being so tired of asking Xander where he was taking me to, and getting no answer from him.I slept so peacefully, that I didn't know how long I had slept, but soon I heard Xander's voice calling out to me. I slowly opened my eyes and there he was smiling down at me.'' We are here,'' he whispered, so I quickly got up to see where he had brought me.It looked like we were in the middle of nowhere as all I could see were tall trees and a lake. A huge cabin was also there, which oversees the lake, and it all looked beautiful and felt so tranquil.'' It is beautiful here,'' I whispered and Xander wrapped his arms around me, whispering into my ears.'' I knew you would like it here.' Xander said and I smiled.Why don't I show you the cabin?'' Xander said as he took my hand, walking me inside, and. I must say that the outside didn't quite do a lot of justice to the inside, as it was so beautifully decorated.'' How is this even possible,'' I asked as
