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. I allowed my thoughts to wander, as I stared endlessly into space. I still can't forget all that happened yesterday, as the incident haunted my dreams so vividly. And that was when I knew I had to talk to someone and the only person that I knew I could talk to was Mia, so I knew th
Isabella's POVI didn't know why Xander forced himself to come with me, but I was furious. We talked about this. I gave him my conditions if I was to stay in his house, But Xander been Xander , the great and feared Draco, He freaking didn't care and forced himself to go with me, the very day that I was supposed to be taken a break from all the chaos that he brings. I didn't even know why I accepted him to come alone with me. Well, it is not like I had a choice when it came to Xander.We were done with our breakfast, as I made my way towards the car with Xander trailing behind me.'' Come on smile Bella, it is not that bad that I am coming with you,'' Xander said as we got into the car.'' What are you saying, it is bad,'' I yelled out.'' Tell me, what words can I use, how can I tell you that I don't want you here,'' I rolled my eyes, saying, as I drifted my focus towards the window.We were soon on our way, and I plunged once more into an abyss of a dreadful silence.Xander threw sev
