Isabella's POV'' Do you mean like a date,'' I asked, just to be sure.'' I do not care what you want to call it, I just want to take you out to clear your head,'' Aiden smirked and said.'' So it is not a date,'' I said again.'' Whatever you want to call it is fine by me, but when I truly want to take you on a date, trust me it wouldn't be this way,'' Aiden let out with an infectious smirk on his face.'' Okay, let's go, but I will have to get changed first,'' I said, swallowing hard, and Aiden nodded.'' Alright, I will be waiting for you in the living room,'' Aiden said as he walked out of the room.I quickly took a shower, washed the tears off of my eyes, I got changed and went to meet Aiden in the living room.'' I am ready,'' I said as I walked up to him.'' Good, prepare to have your mind taken off from the horrors of today,'' He said as he took my hand in his, ushering me out of the door.'' So where are you taking me to,'' I asked as we both walked into the elevator.'' Why

Isabella's POV'' This was really fun, thank you for taking me out today,'' I said as I looked up Aiden.'' Anything to put a smile on that beautiful face of yourself, and just keep in mind that when I finally take you on a date it would be much better than this,'' Aiden smirked, instantly making me blush as he hauled down a taxi. Aiden quickly opened the door for me as he ushered me inside the car.We continued to chat and laugh, as we reminisced about our time at the skating ring. Aiden was sure a sweetheart. He made sure I didn't think about how messed up my today was. He made sure that I was happy, even if it was just for a few minutes, and I was so grateful to have him with me.But I constantly cursed my thoughts, for always being invaded by the thoughts of the Draco and the memories of all that happened today, even when I knew I didn't want to.Xander was like a virus spreading through my body and I had no idea about how to make him stop. But I was willing to try, I was willing

So tell me, what have you been up to, how is the new city treating you,'' she asked.'' Judith, I don't know what to do, my world is falling apart,'' I cried out to her.''

Isabella's POV'' A Date with Aiden, how long was I asleep for,'' Mia let out as she sat on the bed looking up at me.'' Aiden asked me out this morning and I said Yes,'' I said and Mia looked at me as if I had just done something wrong.'' But just yesterday, you told me that you weren't sure about anything, so tell me what changed,'' Mia asked.'' I decided to take a chance on Aiden, I want a good guy, and Aiden is a good guy,'' I answered.'' Are you sure about this,'' Mia asked, as I knew she wasn't in support of this.''

Isabella's POVI didn't know what was happening, it all felt like a blur. I soon regained consciousness, but everything was still pitch black. Fear immediately took hold of me as I noticed that we were in a moving car. I struggled with the rope that was tied behind my back, trying to set myself free. But no matter how hard I tried to set myself free, it was just hopeless because the ropes were just too tight.I quickly remembered that Mia and I were taken by some men wearing masks, and I wondered who they were and what exactly they wanted from us, so I called out for Mia softly hoping that she was alright.'' Mia... Mia are you alright,'' I whispered out, but I didn't hear anything from Mia, and that really scared me.'' Come on Mia, please say something,'' I let out, but still, there was nothing from her.I couldn't help but be afraid that these men had done something to Mia.'' Would you shut up? If you don't, I will have to shut you up myself,'' I soon heard a male voice scream at

Isabella POVI and Mia were still held bound, taken by these unknown men. I was still so oblivious about what next to do, so I continued to pray for some kind of miracle to help us out of this dreadful situation.But our situation looked like it wasn't going to change anytime soon.'' Isa... Isa,'' Mia called out to me softly.'' What are we going to do, how are we going to get out of here,'' She asked and that was a question I didn't know how to answer.'' I don't know Mia, I don't what to do. These people didn't seem like thieves, I think they have some other plan for us,'' I answered.'' Oh God, we are so doomed.'' Mia cried out.'' Is okay, is going to be okay,'' I said as I fought to believe my own words.After a few minutes of silence, the car stopped.'' Isa, what is happening,'' Mia cried out.'' Shush, Mia, I think someone is coming this way,'' I let out and soon we heard the car door open, and before I knew it, I was immediately grabbed by the arm.'' Let me go, Let me go,''

Isabella POV''What did you just say,'' I managed to let out.'' You heard me, I came here for you, Bella, and I am not leaving without you. You will be living with me from now on,'' Xander said as he continued to look at me with those eyes of his, and could also hear Aiden and Mia gasp behind me.'' No never, I'm not going anywhere with you, Draco.'' I yelled out with so much anger in my voice.But, Xander just smiled as he folded his arms across his chest, as he stared at me so intensely, as if he was trying to read every bit of me.'' Bella, I don't think you have a choice here. First, what happened today? I can not take the risk of that happening to you again,'' Xander said, and I rolled my eyes.'' Oh what happened today, what happened today is all your fault Draco, those men took me and my friend all because of you,'' I yelled.'' And that is the other reason, Bella, why I am taking this action. They know your connection to me, and they can easily use you to get to me, and I wou

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

Isabella's POV Many months slowly passed by, and I gradually settled in my hometown.I still thought of Xander, because his ring reminded me of him. I knew I couldn't forget him even if I tried, so I stopped forcing myself to.I frequently visited my father's grave, as being with him greatly helped me.So today, I wanted to visit him as well.'' Judith, I am going to see my father,'' I said, and she nodded.'' Alright, why don't I come with you today? Judith suggested, and I looked at her surprised because she never wanted to come with me in the past.'' Don't look at me like that, I just want to go with you.'' she rolled her eyes.''I know you always want to be alone with him, but I would like to come and pay my respect as well.'' Judith let out.'' Are you sure?'' I asked, and she rolled her eyes yet again.'' I am an old woman, don't you think by now I would be sure of what I want to do,'' she replied.'' Okay, that will not be a problem. I would be happy if you came,'' I smiled a

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,
