Addicted Chapter 38
Aiden's POV I was still trying to come to terms that Isabella and Mia had almost been kidnapped. I hated seeing Isabella so shaken up and so scared about everything that happened. We were supposed to have our date tonight, but none of that mattered now. There would still be many more chances for that, but little did I know that Isabella would soon be taken from my hands. I was on the phone with the police when we heard a knock at the door. '' I will go see who it is,'' Mia said to me as she walked to get to the door. But the fearful gasp from Mia made me turn and I saw a man with red eyes walking into our apartment with a bodyguard trailing behind him. I did know who he was, but damn he looked so familiar , but with a fearful look on Mia's face, it was sure that she knew who he was. '' Who are you? and what do you want,'' I asked, but he only ignored me, as his focus was fixed on Mia. '' Where is she,'' He asked Mia. '' Where is who,'' I asked, but he ignored me again. '' Wher

Xander's POV'' You can not be serious, Cousin,'' Xavier bombarded my ears as soon as I worked back into my office.'' What are you going on about Xavier,'' I let out as I took my seat in front of him.'' Your dancer, the red queen, why did you bring her here,'' Xavier asked as he looked at me for answers.'' And again Xavier, I ask you what are you going on about,'' I rolled my eyes, asking.'' Cut the bullshit cousin, you know exactly what I am going on about. Why is Isabella here?'' Xavier asked and I rolled my eyes.'' Wait, is this all your plan to win this bet we have,'' Xavier asked and I huffed.'' Shut up, Xavier, it is nothing like that. I didn't bring her here to win a bet. I brought her here because she is in danger out there, because you could not clean up a simple mess. But if I win the bet process, I think it would be a win-win for me.'' I said.'' Please don't blame me for something you clearly caused, you killed Alvaro , so technically you are the one that put your da

Isabella's POV'' You wear my shirt better than I would ever would,'' Xander smirked, saying.I rolled as I tried to ignore all the unwanted emotions his words made me feel.''Any ways, it is good of you to join me for breakfast,'' Xander smiled and said.'' Whatever,'' I huffed.'' You know what, it is very big of you to say that , for a person who threatens to kill someone, just to force me to have breakfast with him.'' I rolled my eyes saying as I sat far away from him, and thank goodness it was a big dining table.'' What can I say, you forced my hand, Bella,'' He smirked.'' But threatening your help, just to have your way, do you not think that is below you.'' I let out.'' Just like you said,threatened... I wasn't going to do it. I just wanted to get you to come down. and I am sure you did understand because you also threatened to starve yourself if I didn't let you go.'' Xander said as he totally turned the table at me.'' Fuck, it wasn't a threat, Draco, because I was really

Xander's POVI stormed into my office so angry, I was boiling with rage. Bella always does this to me, filling me up with so many emotions. Emotions I didn't even know existed. If it was someone else, they would have been dead for speaking to me that way, but for her, even though she made me so mad at her and I wanted to teach her a lesson, the urge to pull her close to myself and ravage that beautiful body of hers was too strong. Bella knew the effect she had on me, and didn't waste time in using it.'' How could she say I was the problem,'' I yelled to myself as I paced back and forth the room.'' okay who pissed in your morning coffee,'' I soon heard Xavier say and I got even more angry.'' What do you want Xavier,'' I yelled as I poured myself a glass of whiskey.'' Good morning to you cousin, is it too early for a drink,'' Xavier smirked, saying, and I rolled my eyes.'' Dude it is 3pm somewhere in the world,'' I answered as I downed the contents of my glass immediately and poure

Isabella's POV We drove for several minutes, going from shop to shop, buying a lot of things that the trunk of the car was already filled to the top. We continued on our journey. The car ride was silent as expected, because none of us dared to say a word to each other, but Xander never stopped throwing glances my way and I ignored all of them.We soon stopped at another shop, and I hoped that it was the last one, because honestly I couldn't take it anymore. We got down and we worked into the shop, and it was a jeweler's shop.And as always, as soon as the attendants saw Xander, they all asked as if he was some kind of god.'' Welcome, Draco, the piece you requested for is ready,'' one of the attendants said.'' Good show it to me,'' Xander let out, and immediately, a red diamond necklace was brought out. And goodness, it was the most beautiful thing I have ever seen.'' It is custom made, and personally engraved just as you requested,'' the attendant said as he gave him something to

Xander's POV '' Why are you here Javier, what is this,'' I let out so angrily.'' Come on uncle, is that how to treat someone you once regarded as family? You were close friends with my dad and his brother,'' Javier said as he smirked, looking at us with a devilish glance in his eyes.'' I am losing my patent here Javier. Tell me what you do want? Because I know you are here for anything but peace.'' Come on. Draco, don't treat me this way, I am your friend's son,'' Javier let out and I rolled my eyes.I knew Javier wasn't just here to exchange pleasantries with me, he was up to something, and that something was definitely not good. Fuck and I am out numbered by the number of men he brought with him. and I knew I couldn't do or say anything that would put Bella's life in danger, so I took in a deep breath as I did something that I had never done in my life before.''I put away my gun'' ''Now Javier, tell me, with no games intended, what do you want?'' I said , all the while protect

Isabella's POV Right now, I wasn't so sure if I had just made the right decision by agreeing to stay here with Xander. I didn't know if I was just being stupid by making a deal with the devil, but I knew I couldn't think about too much, I had to take this risk.Because right now, even though I hate to admit it, I am currently caught in this sick war that Xander had started. And I knew I couldn't do anything about it other than to let Xander fix this mess he had created.Anyways, Xander agreed to all of my terms, but I was still so nervous about what was to come. living with the Draco.I slowly opened my eyes to the light, as I took in a deep breath, filling my lungs with the clean air that filled the room.

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?

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

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,
