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?

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 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

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?''

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?

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,
