Addicted Chapter 49
Isabella's POV I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Xander had a normal childhood just like everyone else, he had loved and also suffered the loss of a parent, which I could also totally relate to because I have never really got over my dad's death, but can anyone really get over the loss of a parent, losing someone that close to you can change you, because I know it has changed me as well.So now, somehow, I totally understand Xander, and why he is the way he is.'' All set, you all ready and looking so beautiful,'' Mary said, smiling.'' Thank you, Mary, you are the absolute best,'' I smiled as I looked at my beautiful self in the mirror.'' So should I get you your breakfast here?'' Mary said and I shook my head.'' I want to leave my room, can't I have breakfast somewhere else,'' I asked, as I was already tired of staying in my room.'' But... I don't think the boss would like that, he wants you to stay up here to recover fully,'' Mary said, and I rolled my eyes.'' Mary,

Isabella POVI was startled, as I saw the man storm onto the patio with blood all over him and he was badly bruised. He looked like he was shot also because he kept on holding onto his side, which was bleeding profusely.He fell to the floor, and I just couldn't understand what was going on. Xander rushed to his side and asked him several questions about what happened to him.The man said a name... Javier and that name sounded all so familiar.“Where have I heard that name from before? It sounds so familiar,'' I asked myself, and that was when I remember.''It was that scary man that cornered us a few days ago, the same man that asked for Xander's life,'' I said to myself as the mere thought of him made me shiver in pure fright.Xander was so angry, that he even instructed Mary to take me away from there, but I refused. I wanted to know more about what this man called Javier had done, because, weirdly, I was concerned about Xander.But Xander's man said something that made me freeze i

Isabella's POVDays later.. The past few days were pure torture for me. After that incident, I became a shadow of myself, as the thought of someone wanting me dead was so terrifying to me.I had locked myself up in my room for days ever since it happened because I was so scared and, honestly, I didn't have the power or will to deal with anyone at all.The only person who I allowed into my room was Mary, and apart from her I couldn't stand to see anyone else , most especially Xander. He was the last person I wanted to see. He is the reason for all of this and, honestly, I couldn't look past that.But even though, I was still so mad at him, I knew I had to see him either way, and I couldn't just lock myself in there forever.Since it was almost noon and with my leg feeling much better, I decided to leave my room.'' I want to go and see Xander,'' I said, and Mary looked at me smiling.'' You finally want to leave your room, that is so wonderful, I would take you to him,'' Mary said wit

Isabella's POVAll I could think about was the encounter with Xander. My sleep was even haunted by memories of it in my dreams, but when I woke to the light I knew I had to get rid of it all. I was going to work for this man, so I knew I couldn't entertain any unwanted feelings towards him.So I got up, took a shower and I quickly got dressed. I was about to leave the room when Mary walked in with a tray of food in her hands.'' And where are you going to,'' Mary asked as she dropped the plate of food on the table.'' I am starting work today,'' I said, and Mary's eyes shone in shock.'' Work... why,'' Mary asked and I was confused.'' Why what? What do you mean,'' I asked.'' Why do you want to work, you are the lady of the house, you do not need to work,'' Mary let out and I did not know when I started laughing.'' Lady of the house?'' I laughed even more.'' Mary, I am nothing of such, I am not a lady of the house, and I need to work to earn a living while I am here, I don't want t

Isabella's POV I spent most of my time in my room, just working. I never came out. I never saw anyone, I was so engrossed in my job that everything seemed so insignificant. Mary hated that I locked myself up and all I did was work , but what I can say is I love working and it made me take my mind off a lot of things.And also, I found some disturbing discrepancies that I had to understand better and figure out what was going on, because the more I added up new numbers and calculated the inventories, the more they did not add up. It looked like someone was stealing from Xander, but I didn't want to jump the gun, I had to be sure rather than accuse someone falsely.But more days went by and my suspicion grew even stronger, the numbers were still not adding up, and it became clear that someone was stealing from Xander. But my problem now was whether I should tell Xander.Lost in thought, I knew I needed some advice, so I picked up my phone and called Mia.'' Hey Mia, Is this a bad thing

Xander's POV The past few days haven't been so eventful. Bella started work as my accountant, and even though it killed me, I knew this was what she wanted, just a business relationship between us. And even though I didn't want to, I had to accept her conditions.It was just so hard for me every day to just suppress my feelings towards her, to call her Isabella and not Bella like I always used to call her. Sometimes I just feel like I am going to lose it one of these days and just stop all this stupid charade.But a guy can wish right,'' I said to myself as I soon heard my phone ring.'' Speak to me, what is it,'' I said through the phone.'' Draco, it is not good, Javier has stuck again,'' I heard on

Isabella's POVRight now, I don't know how I am supposed to feel after the whole situation with Xander and his father.

Foolish girl, you are not supposed to feel this way, he means nothing to you,'' My subconscious screamed at me as I walked into my room.I was feeling so overwhelmed by everything that had just happened that I just collapsed onto my bed as soon as I walked into my room.'' Urgh,'' I groaned out.'' I did not even tell Xander what I wanted to tell

Isabella POVI didn't come out of my room for the rest of the day as I sat by my window, just getting lost in thought , so you can say that I always hide when everything feels so confusing and unstable, because right now I couldn't make sense of anything I was feeling.I couldn't stop myself from thinking about the events of today, that even the mere thought of Xander getting married made me feel some kind of way.I didn't understand this feeling, but all I knew was that I wasn't supposed to feel this way.I continued to stare out my window, but deep down I was just hoping that Xander's car would drive by, so that I would know that he was okay and back home.But hours had passed by and there was no sig
