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
Isabella's POVI still can't believe it. I am getting married to Xander, all this still felt like a dream to me. a dream I didn't want to wake up from.I looked at my ring over and over again, as I couldn't believe that Xander actually got to this point.I was so in love with this man that now, I couldn't think of a life with him.The time we spent in the cabin was like heaven on earth, paradise if I do say so myself. It was all I could ever ask for and more.'' We should get married as soon as we get back,'' Xander said as he fed me grapes.'' Relax Xander, I don't think there is any rush,'' I let out and Xander smirked.'' Don't blame me, I just want to make you mine as soon as possible,'' Xander said.'' But I am yours,'' I whispered into his ear, as I bit my lips seductively.'' Oh Bella, you are going to be the end of me, you don't know what you do to me when you say that,'' Xander let out and I smirked.'' Show me then?'' I whispered and that was all it took for Xander to claim
Isabella's POVLooking at Xavier groaning in pain because of the gunshot wound to his shoulder, I quickly looked up and Xander was there with so much anger on his face, so I ran into his arms, holding him tightly.He eased into my embrace, as his tensed body relaxed under my touch.'' Are you okay? Did he hurt you?'' He asked me, but he didn't look at me, as his eyes were firmly fixed on his cousin.'' Hey look at me, I am fine,'' I said as I forced him to look at me.'' I am sorry, this is all my fault, I shouldn't have left you alone,'' Xander let out and I could see the pain in his eyes, as he quickly got one of his shirts, putting it on me.'' It is not your fault, you couldn't see what kind of animal your cousin is. And I am partly to blame. I should have told you when he made advances on me, or when I heard him planning to kill me with Ruby,'' I said, and Xander's red eyes flamed like the pit of hell.'' What?' He let out as he pulled the injured Xavier to his feet.'' How could
Xander's POVThe anger I felt came back immediately when I saw her again, the woman who took my mom's place.''What was she doing here?'' I asked myself as I watched the car stop and she walked out.'' My love,'' She squealed, hugging my dad as she reeked of nothing else but expensive perfume.'' Lusia, my love what are you doing here,'' My dad asked, as he also looked so surprised to see her as well.'' Don't ask me that, Agustín. You left your beautiful wife all by herself, so what do you think? That I will continue living in that huge house all by myself... Hell no, so I came here to see my darling husband.'' She answered.'' Lusia, you have a lot of maids at your service.'' My dad said and I rolled my eyes.'' Nonsense, Agustín, I miss my family, and I am here to see my son. I heard he is getting married again,'' Lusia said, looking at me, as she tried to hug me, but I flinched.'' I am not your son, and I will never be,'' I let out and she frowned.'' I thought by now you would b
Xander's POVI ran after Bella, as a means to apologize, but I found her lying on the floor unconscious with Lucia doing nothing to help her.'' What is this? What did you do to her?'' I yelled as I ran to her side.''Bella, Bella, open your eyes, princess,'' I begged her.'' What did you do, why is she like this,'' I yelled at Lucia again. I was so scared seeing Bella like this, but I tried to remain calm.'' I don't know, she just saw me and fainted,'' Lucia answered nonchalantly.'' What do you even mean by that? My fiancé is lying unconscious and that is all you can say,'' I yelled as I lifted her in my arms, walking away with her.'' What happened?'' my dad asked as he saw me carrying Bella in my arms.But I just glanced at him, and ignored his words, taking her to my room, and laying her gently on my bed.'' You will be fine, princess, I will go and get the doctor,'' I whispered gently to her, and I stormed out of the room.Soon I was back with the doctor and Mia.'' What happen
Xander's POVEverything that is happening is making my mind spin out of control. I am the Draco, I always know what to do in every situation, but this time was different, as I still couldn't understand this whole scenario where my stepmother is also Bella's mom, so that was when I knew I had to talk to my dad.I walked out of the room, quietly so that Bella could sleep. She has been through a lot already, starting with my scumbag cousin, to now finding her long-lost mom who happens to be my father's wife.I walked into my office, and thankfully my dad walked in no time.'' Perfect, it is good that you are here, we need to talk,'' I said.'' Talk about what? I just came to tell you that I am taking Lucia to a hotel.'' My dad let out.'' It is good that you are taking her away from here, but I wanted to ask you just one question, did you know?'' I let out, and my dad was quiet, as he looked at me with a blank expression on his face.I immediately knew the truth even if he refused to say
Isabella's POVMy world felt like it had come to an end, it felt like I was swimming in shark-infested waters because just in a day my whole world had fallen apart.I was happy on my getaway with Xander, thinking that nothing could go wrong. But look at me now.First, it was Xavier, laying his filthy hands on me. I could look past that because I had always known that he was a heartless human being, but I was not expecting to meet my long-lost mother, who also happened to be Agustin's wife. She left me for the wealth and power that being married to the Draco brings.My heart was broken. Even when I never thought I would see her again, now that I have, I hate the sight of her, she is now dead to me because every atom of hope that I had of seeing my mother again died when I found out the reason she left me as a child.Mind-blowing, right?I thought that it wasn't going to get worse than that, but I was wrong.I was so wrong.So wrong... it got even worse.I never expected the universe to
