Isabella's POV
I was locked up in my room for days. I refused to see anyone, nor could I even have a proper night's sleep.
I didn't go to work, and Dan was definitely not having it, but what could I do? The image of the Draco with a gun pointing at that man's head was all I could see, it was imprinted. It made my mind that no matter how hard I tried to get rid of it, it just wouldn't leave.
The memory was like a virus, spreading throughout my mind with so much speed while also eating deep into it.
Mia and Aiden were constantly at my door, insisting that they see me.
Mia even threatened to break down the door if I didn't come go.
So, after so much hustle, I decided to let them in.
“Goodness Isabella, what is wrong with you," they both screamed at the same time?
Isabella's POV If I had told you that I could see or breathe clearly at that moment, then it would have been a big lie because right now my heart was in my hands as I looked up at his tall form. “Why do you look so surprised to see me," the Draco whispered as he moved closer to me, removing the mask from my face? I couldn't bring myself to speak, my heart at that moment was racing so profusely in my heart, and my legs just shook like a leaf in the wind as I feared that I was going to fall at any moment. I willed myself over and over again, to withstand the pull of his piercing red eyes, but trust me, it was impossible. “Hmmm Isabella don't keep me waiting, say something,", Draco whispered as he caressed the corner of my face. I let out a heavy breath, as I quickly pulled my face away from his touch. “ I should leave," I let out as I turned around about to walk out of the door when immediately, the Draco pulled me back to himself by my hand. He held me closer to himself so tight
Isabella's POV I struggled to breathe, as it felt like my heart was in my hands. I walked back to the dressing room slowly, my hands were shaking just like a leaf in the wind, and I also pleaded with my legs not to give up on me in the presence of everyone there at the club. Fuck, why does this man have so much effect on me? He was like a storm, so intense and so nerve-racking, and no matter how much you try to see peace within the storm, it was just impossible. And his red eyes... God... his red eyes were just like the red sea, so intense yet so captivating, they fed deep into my soul, giving me no room to know who I was in his presence. His eyes left me feeling so weak that I had to fight to stay in control of my body. I knew he was all shades of evil, but why then was my body so drawn to this man with red eyes? '' Isa... are you okay,'' I soon heard Mia's voice ask as it took me out of my invading thoughts. I blinked profusely as I looked up at her, forcing a smile on my face,
Isabella's POV '' I am sorry,'' I whispered as I pulled apart from Aiden.'' I don't know why I did that. I shouldn't have done that, I am sorry,'' I whispered out again.'' No Isabella, you don't see me complaining,'' Aiden let out softly as he tried to pull me back to himself.'' No... Aiden... No, this is a mistake,'' I said. I quickly pulled myself from his grip as I ran back to my room.My heart felt like it wasn't my own, it was beating so fast in my chest that it felt like it was going to burst out of my chest. I didn't know why I did what I just did, I didn't know why I kissed Aiden.But even then the kiss we shared felt right, it felt peaceful and serene, not like the chaos I felt on Draco's lips.''Could there be something more between Aiden and me? Do I really like Aiden like that,'' I asked myself as I allowed my thoughts to run wild.I know, maybe I like him like that, but if so, why can't I stop myself from thinking about it? Why can I still feel his hands on my skin ev
Xander's POVIsabella was the goddess hunting my dreams, and I didn't only see her in my dreams, but I saw her everywhere I looked, every little thing reminded me of her. She was all I could think about. No one has ever made me feel the way she does since the day that I met her. She commanded so much emotion within me, that it made me wonder why and how she has so much power over me.And that kiss, goodness that kiss, I still think about it even in my sleep and I just can't wait to taste those beautiful lips of hers again.But then I remember how cold and distant she was with me and that made my heart sink so deeply in my chest. I was downing my thoughts on a glass of whiskey and that was when Xavier walked in.'' Hey Xander, what
Isabella's POV '' Tell me more, I want to know more, I want to know everything... how did it happen? Did you enjoy it? Are you going to kiss him again, are you two a couple now,'' Mia? bombarded me with questions as we both walked out of the elevator, but I ignored her.'' Come on Isa, I am your best friend. It is my right to know these things.''Mia insisted over and over again, until we got to the taxi.'' Wait, are you really my best friend,'' I teased Mia, and a frown instantly came to play so freely on his face.'' What are you saying? If I am not your best friend, then who is,'' Mia said, rolling her eyes.'' Maybe Bambi, we might be enemies, but we share a special bond,'' I chuckled and said to her.The frown on Mia's face increased, as she turned to look out the window. A few minutes later, Mia turned back to look at me.'' Isa, you know that is not funny, Bambi can not be your best friend, because I am ,'' Mia let out, as her eyes begged me to say that she was right.'' Okay,
Isabella's POV I am nervous as hell right now. I know I have been doing shows at the club for a while now and my posters were no strangers to the walls of this place, but this time it is different. This is the greatest show right now at the club. I know I should be more confident about this, but honestly, I don't even know why I was this nervous. '' Deep breaths, Deep breaths'' I said to myself as I put finishing touches to my makeup. '' You have 1 minute, Isabella, 1 minute,'' Dan burst into the dressing room yelling. Dan's outburst made my nerves even more unbearable to deal with, but thank god for Mia, who walked up to me holding me by the hand.'' You got this okay, I believe in you, you will kill it,'' Mia said to me, as she comforted me with her words. I nodded as I took in a deep breath again, calming myself down. '' I can do this,'' I said to myself as I stood up, picking up my mask. I started walking out of the room and Bambi and her little clique of girls were glaring s
Isabella's POVI took in a deep breath as I tried to calm myself down. Every encounter I have had with Xander has always got me so rattled up. He definitely knows how to stir up unwanted and confusing emotions within me.I was still so dumbstruck by Xander's offer to work for him, what was he even thinking when he made that offer and pulled that silly stunt,'' I said to myself as I let out a heavy breath that I didn't even know existed.'' There you are, I have been looking everywhere for you, you got me so worried, did you see what happened, the club was in total black out,'' I heard Mia say, as her voice brought me out of my invading thoughts.'' I know I was there,'' I let out softly.'' Were you not supposed to be performing when it all happened,'' Mia asked.''Yes, I was,'' I answered.''So why are you here? Is this not the Draco's private lounge,'' Mia asked as she looked around.'' Yes, it is, and I am here because he brought me here,'' I answered and Mia's eyes widened in surpr
Isabella's POVWhen we came back to the apartment, I went straight for my room, ignoring Aiden and even Mia's constant calls. Getting to my room, I collapsed on my bed as I allowed the events of tonight to fill my mind once more.It was so unbelieveable how every encounter that I have had with the Draco had always let me feeling so exhausted and my thoughts so all over the place.''I still do not believe that he offered me a job... A job , just like that, out of no where, what was he thinking...'' I laughed to myself.'' What kind of job does he think I would be able to do for him? He was clearly not in his right frame of mind to ask me that,'' I said to myself as I closed my eyes, embracing the darkness with open arms.But even in my darkness, I wasn't safe from thoughts of him. His alluring red eyes and the intoxicating feelings his touch gave out was all I could see and feel in my dreams.I didn't know if I should call this a nightmare or a sweet dream, because even in the comfort
