Xander's POV
Days had passed by since the talk I had with my father, and ever since then, his words have remained in my mind, like an initial carved into a tree.
His words were all I could hear when working when sleeping and even in my dreams, his words were everywhere in my mind.
'' Love is not for people like us''
His words had me so worried, making me wonder if my father was right, wondering if I was so damaged and beyond repair, and no one would ever love me.
Wondering if Bella could ever love a damaged man like me and whether she was better off without me, and I should not be hoping for something that would never happen.
Breathing out heavily, my Dad's words continued to hover around in my mind, as I tried to focus on work again because that was all I did nowadays. I try to focus on work just to get my mind off things.
Sometimes it works, but sometimes my mind just wande
Xander's POVI was furious. I couldn't believe what had just happened to me. Secrets were being kept from me, and the only thing I could feel right now was absolute rage.'' Was so wrapped up in my chaos, that I couldn't see that I no longer had Javier under control,'' I screamed to myself.'' I needed answers, and I need them now,'' I screamed as I allowed the rage I felt to fill me up without control.'' Xavier,'' I yelled, calling out to my cousin as I paced back and forth in my office.'' Draco, Xavier just drove out,'' one of my men came into my office saying.'' Stop him wherever he is and bring him back to me right now,'' I yelled and the man nodded and hurried off immediately.Still pacing in anger, it took just a while for Xavier to be brought in by one of my men.'' What is this Xander? I was stopped and brought here like a criminal. On your orders, what is going on?'' Xavier asked with confusion clearly written on his face, and before I could even think, I threw a punch at
Xander's POVI took a deep breath, plastering a smile on my face, just like my father had instructed, as we made our way into one of my restaurants.My father insisted that we host Ruby and her father at one of my restaurants, just so he could show off.Heaven knows that I didn't want to be here, but it looked like my father had me by the ball and I had no choice, but to obey him.We walked into the restaurant and it was empty, except for Ruby and her father, who were already seated waiting for us.'' Why is my restaurant empty,'' I asked, whispering to my father as I stopped him in his tracks,'' I thought we needed the privacy, so I cleared the restaurant out for the evening,'' My dad whispered back and I scoffed.'' Didn't you think you should have told me first, I am losing money with my restaurant being empty. Dad, and you know how I hate anything that makes me lose money,'' I let out and my Dad rolled his eyes.'' I am not in the mood for your tantrums boy, so stop all this and
Xander's POV'' What are you saying, how have I ruined your life?'' My dad yelled at me from the car, but I didn't pay him any attention. I began to make my way into the house.''No. I will not let you blame on me, .'' My dad yelled as he walked over to me, stopping me before I could get into the house.'' Let me be dad, I just want to go inside, lay on my bed, close my eyes and forget all this ever happened,'' I said softly, as I didn't have the strength to argue with him right now.'' Why are you acting like a child, you are acting as if I was the one that said yes to George's proposal, you didn't even put up a fight, Xander, you said yes, so you are as much to blame for this,'' My dad said as I rolled my eyes.I looked my dad in the eyes, as I tried to understand what was going on in his head.'' What is my crime dad, is it that I am your son,'' I let out as I looked at him intensely in the eyes.'' What is this son, what are you saying,'' My dad said.'' Yeah, I think my mistake
Xander's POVI woke up feeling so exhausted and drained as if I had just run a marathon. I didn't want to get out of bed, I wanted to stay in the dark and unsee and unfeel all that happened yesterday. But I knew I couldn't, I couldn't wallow in my misery, I was the Draco and there was no room for weakness.So I got up, had a shower, got dressed, and made my way down for breakfast.Walking down the stairs, I saw a lot of unknown faces, hustling and bustling down the hallways.Some were carrying flowers, while others were carrying drinks.'' What is happening here,'' I asked myself and before I knew it, I was enveloped in a bone-crashing hug by Ruby.'' Good mooring my love,'' she greeted, kissing me softly.'' Ruby, what is this, why are you here so early, and why are all these people in my house?'' I asked.
Isabella's POVI woke up this morning with a smile on my face because all I could think about was the awesome night I had with Manny.Manny has been nothing but awesome, ever since I said yes to him, and somehow he made me forget all about Xander, and because of that, I was glad to have him in my life.I just couldn't wait to tell Mia all about it.So, with a cheerful smile on my face, I made my way to the bathroom, I quickly had my shower, and I got dressed to go and see Mia.'' Good morning, my dear,'' Mary walked into my room, with a smile on her face.'' Good morning Mary, you look beautiful this morning,'' I said, smiling widely at her.'' Oh, why are you so happy this morning,'' Mary asked me.'' Wait, can't I be happy anymore,'' I let out.'' Yes you can, but this
Isabella's POV ''What is all this Xavier, why are you holding me like a common criminal? I haven't done anything wrong,'' I let out, but Xavier ignored all my words as he continued to pull me along with him until he pulled me into an empty room. '' Xavier, get your hands off me, your hurting me. What did I do?'' I let out again, confused as to why Xavier had hijacked me the way he did. But yet again, he ignored me and before I knew it, he pinned me against the wall, as he looked at me with anger in his eyes, and I could help but shiver at his dreadful gaze. I didn't know what to make of all of this, and the confidence that I had before was all gone, as I felt nothing but fear now as I looked into his eyes. '' You have crossed a line, red queen,'' Xavier whispered into my ear. '' What are you saying, I didn't do anything,'' I let out with fear l
Isabella's POVI willed myself off the floor, got out of the room, and I slowly made my way back to my room. You know how I was so happy this morning and I felt nothing could ever bring me down? Well, I was wrong, because my morning had been filled with so much drama and it was not even noon yet.''I couldn't even go to see Mia anymore like I wanted to,'' I said to myself.I lay on my bed, allowing my thoughts to wander wild in my head, as all I could think about was Xavier's words to me.Wallowing in my misery and pain, Mary walked in with a tray of food in her hands.'' Isabella, you disappeared. Where have you been? I came back to where I left you talking with Xander and you were gone. I also checked your room and you weren't either.'' Mary asked, but I didn't answer.'' What is going on, did you and Xander get into a fight again,'' Mary asked, and ignored her yet again.'' Talk to me my dear girl, I am worried about you,'' Mary said, but I still couldn't bring myself to say a word
Isabella's POV'' You look beautiful, my dear,'' Mary said with a smile on her face.'' Thank you, but it is all thanks to you,'' I let out.'' Ruby is going to be so jealous because you are more beautiful than she is right now,'' Mary said and I rolled my eyes.'' Can we go now,'' I let out because I didn't want to talk about Ruby right then.Mary nodded and soon we were on our way down.I soon heard slow music, as we got closer to where the event was taking place, which made my heart beat even faster, as I dreaded seeing Xander after everything Xavier had revealed about him.I and Mary went into the venue, and it felt like everyone's eyes were on me, and it included Xander. I struggled not to look in his direction, but I failed because his eyes were like magnets pulling me in his direction.And when we locked eyes, it felt like we were the only ones in the room, and at that point, no one else mattered.He didn't look happy being here, and his eyes begged me to put him out of this mi
