Isabella's POV As Xander walked in, he immediately became the centre of attention now, but even with all the preying eyes on him, his eyes didn't waver from me, but for the first time I didn't see that longing he always had in his eyes for me, or maybe it was there and Xander just did a good job, masking it. Because, for the first time, Xander was the one who broke our gaze as he focused on his wife-to-be. I subdued the unwanted feeling I was having inside of me as I kept on telling myself that this was what I wanted. The ceremony soon started, and the priest commenced with the martial rights, but when Xander was asked if he loved Ruby enough to take her as his wife. Xander couldn't speak and to heaven, I thought he was going to say No. Xander tried to get his words out, but that was when we heard a big explosion, and it was no one else but Javier. Seeing the scary man again sent down my spine, as I tried to hide so he would see me. but luck was not on my side because Javier gra

Xander's POV All through the car ride back to the house, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I hated seeing her, so scared and traumatized. And all this was my fault. She didn't ask for any of this, but I stupidly brought her into this messed up life of mine. I did this to her, I subjected her to a life of violence, not even considering how it would affect her. '' I wish there was a way to fix this,'' I said to myself. But I couldn't think of one that would keep her safe, because letting her go now was out of the question. It doesn't matter if she was no longer my marked woman, my enemies now know that she is important to me, so they will always use her to get to me. And I can't let that happen. Getting to the house, I helped her down from the car. And when we got inside, Manny ran up to us hugging her, and that reminded me that she belonged to someone else now. '' Thank you for bringing her back,'' Manny said to me. '' I told you I would, didn't I?'' I let out as I tried to ignor

Xander's POV Bella quickly moved her gaze to the floor as if she was trying to hide the fact that she was crying from me. I looked at her for god knows how long, as her gaze hovered over the floor. Seeing her like this made my heart break and I didn't know what to do to make it all better. What she had been through must have been so traumatic for her. '' Isabella,'' My voice came out just as a whisper as I could not control my emotions seeing her like that. '' Draco, you wanted to see me,'' Isabella let out and I nodded. '' Please sit,'' I let out, but Isabella shook her head. '' No, I prefer to stand, if you don't mind,'' Isabella said whilst still avoiding my gaze, and trust me, I hated it. '' Bella stop all this and just sit, I need to talk to you,'' I stated, but Isabella shook her head, still refusing. '' At least look at me,'' I let out and that was when she slowly lifted her head, meeting my gaze. Her eyes held something I had never seen before. ''a newfound pain that

Isabella's POVI was shivering, I couldn't stop my mind from racing, everything that happened had gotten me so on edge.When Xander brought me back, I couldn't be more grateful, but all I wanted to do now was leave. I had to leave this place for a place where I could be far away from all this violence.I didn't want to cry, but when I got to my room, I collapsed on my bed, and I couldn't help but let the tears flow.I cried my eyes out for hours on end. I wanted to stop, but no matter how I tried, the tears just wouldn't go away.Xander soon called on me. I didn't want to go, but I decided that it was better if I went. He saved my life anyway.But trust me, it soon became a bad idea.He just told me that I had to go with him to a safe house after I told him that I wanted to leave.'' Oh, what was I even thinking? that the Draco would let me go just like that, that Xander would freely relinquish the hold he has on me?'' I said to myself.I still tried to put up a fight though, but all

Isabella's POVI couldn't sleep all night, and when I finally did, I had nightmares. My dreams were filled with images of Javier and the traumatic experience I had when he took me. Even in my sleep, I could still feel the cold hard end of Javier's gun on my head.The nightmare invaded my dreams, and I could barely sleep for an hour straight, and thankfully by the time I woke up, it was already morning.Somehow, I have gotten used to waking up in Xander's old house, so waking up here kind of felt strange.Tossing and turning, I got off the bed, and I walked over to the window, looking outside, and we were in the middle of nowhere. I could only see trees and bushes, no sign of life anywhere, except for us.Breathing out heavily, I hoped that these tall trees would keep us hidden from Javier.I stood there staring outside, for god knows how long because there was something peaceful about looking at the trees. But I was soon broken out of my peaceful state when I felt somebody touch my sh

Xander's POV The next morning at the safe house was bleak. I had so many things on my mind and I didn't know how to get rid of any of them.Javier had become a thorn in my flesh, and I didn't know how to stop him. I thought I had him under control, but the more I attacked him the more he came back stronger. He was like a damn cockroach that just wouldn't die.But I can not give up, I have to do everything in my power to end this. I had to put Javier in place because if I didn't, I might lose my credibility as the Draco of this city.I was in my office, trying to think of a plan when Xavier walked in.'' Cousin, I need to talk to you,'' Xavier let out.'' And why is that,'' I asked.'' We are here now, your wedding with Ruby didn't take place anymore, and Isabella is still here.'' Xavier let out.'' Xavier, what are you going on about,'' I asked, as I was getting tired of all his rumbling on.'' What I am trying to say is that I want my job back, I want to be working on the books agai

Isabella's POVI had the same nightmare again when I unknowingly fell asleep on Xander's shoulder.Xander looked at me with so much concern in his eyes, that I didn't know when I rushed into his arms, taking comfort in his arms.He helped me up to my room, but he wanted to know more about what my dream was all about. But I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't tell him.When he was gone, I was so restless that I could hardly sleep.So I was up all night again, allowing my thoughts to race so profusely in my mind.In the middle of the night, I heard my room door open.I thought it was Xander, so I didn't turn around to see who it was.But when a hand slid around me, that was when I knew for sure that it wasn't Xander. Somehow, I was disappointed.'' Where have you been Manny,'' I whispered, asking.'' I thought you were asleep,'' He answered.'' Well, I am awake,'' I said.'' I had to run errands for Agustín, didn't Xander tell you?'' Manny let out.'' He did, but I never thought it woul

Isabella's POV'' Why did you do that,'' I turned to Mary as we both walked into my room together.'' I don't think I know what you are talking about,'' Mary rolled her eyes, as she walked into my wardrobe, bringing out some clothes.'' What are you doing,'' I asked.'' Get you some comfortable clothes to wear,'' Mary answered.'' And why is that,'' I asked and Mary rolled her eyes.'' Didn't you hear when the Draco said that he wanted to take you somewhere,'' Mary let out and I hissed as I walked over to the bed.'' And what is this all about,'' Mary asked.'' I do not appreciate you making decisions for me. What if I didn't want to go,'' I let out and Mary chuckled.'' Trust me, it was all in your eyes, you wanted to go with him,'' Mary said.'' That is not true, I wanted to decline,'' I argued, and Mary laughed even more as if my words were mere amusement to her.'' Okay, I am sorry for deciding for you, but you wanted to go with him, you were not just brave enough to say it to his
