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
Isabella POVAs soon as Xander walked out, my legs gave out on me and I fell to the floor crying my eyes out. I couldn't imagine that this was it. Our great love story had come to an end.My heart was breaking, and my body felt like it had been pierced by a thousand needles.'' Was this how heartbreak felt? Was this how it felt losing the love of your life,'' I asked myself.I soon heard the door open and when I looked up, I saw Mia rushing inside the room with nothing but a sad look on her face, and I knew immediately that she heard everything.'' You were listening right,'' I sobbed, and she nodded.'' Hey don't cry, it is okay,'' she said as she lifted me to my feet, cleaning the tears from my eyes.'' Is it true, are you leaving?'' She asked.'' Yes, I have no choice. I can't stay here anymore,'' I answered.'' What about what you have with Xander? You said yes to marrying him,'' Mia asked.'' I don't think the marriage will happen. It is over, Mia, I can not marry the son of the
Isabella's POVTrying my best not to think about anything right now, but Mia was not helping because she kept looking at me with a sad expression on her face.'' Stop looking at me like that,'' I mumbled.'' I am just worried about you, a lot has happened in your life that would make any sane woman go mad.'' Mia let out.'' I am fine,'' I said, but I knew that was not the truth.'' I know that you are not fine, you don't have to lie to me,'' Mia let out and I breathed out heavily, drifting my attention to her again.'' You are right, I am not fine, and I don't think I will ever be fine for a very long time. I didn't think it would be so hard leaving him,'' I said.'' We are not far from the house, we can go back, and you two can settle whatever it is between you both,'' Mia let out and I could see that she still didn't understand.'' I can't. I have made up my mind, it is over. Mia,'' I let out.I soon instructed the driver to take us back to our apartment.I drifted my gaze to the wi
Isabella's POVI got back to my hometown and everything still felt the same, even the air had the same feeling that it had before.The memories of why I left came flooding but, the demons I was running away from were still lurking at every corner.But not everything remained the same. 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,
