Addicted Chapter 97
Isabella's POV When we got back home it was already late in the night, and when the car stopped at the front of the house, Xander came down and helped me out of the car as always. '' Thank you,'' I let out as we walked into the house. The house was so quiet that you could hear a pin drop. I was about to walk up to my room when Xander stopped me. '' Bella,'' He called out to me, so I turned around and walked back to him. '' Here,'' He said, handing me the box with the gun inside. '' Keep it, it is yourself anyways,'' Xander said and I nodded. '' Are you going to continue teaching me,'' I asked, and Xander nodded. '' Of course, we can practise whenever you want,'' Xander answered and I smiled. I know I was adamant at first about learning how to shoot, but I was beginning to like it. '' Sleep well Bella, good night,'' Xander said as he turned around about to walk away. '' Thank you for today,'' I let out, stopping him in his tracks. '' You do not need to thank you, I did what

Isabella POV I woke up with a smile on my face. I was so excited about going to my next shooting practice, Xander said that we could practice anytime and I was prepared to take him up on that offer. ''I never knew that I would enjoy learning how to shoot this much,'' I smiled to myself. '' Or you enjoy the person teaching you how to shoot,'' the voices in my head screamed at me. '' No that is not it,'' I said to myself, as I didn't even know why I was trying to defend myself from the voice in my head. '' We are just friends,'' I said to the voices in my head again, and they laughed, taunting me with their words. '' You heard him very well, Isabella, he doesn't want to be your friend, he wants to be much more,'' the voice continued to taunt me. '' Well tough luck, I am with Manny,'' I said to myself, dismissing the voices in my head, as I stood up to take a shower. ''I will not allow the voice in my head to ruin my excitement,'' I said to myself again, as I walked out of the ba

Isabella's POVI didn't know how long I was on the floor. I wanted to stand up but my legs just wouldn't let me.But soon I felt a hand grip me as it helped me up to my feet. I turned around and it was Xander staring back at me.'' Are you okay? What happened? Why were you on the floor?'' Xander asked as he looked at me with concern in his eyes.I didn't know what to tell him, as I didn't even know if I should be worried by Xavier's words, but that look in Xavier's eyes reeked of nothing but danger.'' Bella, talk to me, you look distraught, what happened, and were you crying,'' Xander moved closer to me, asking.'' No I am fine,'' I lied as I tried to compose myself.'' But your eyes, it doesn't look like you are okay,'' Xander let out.'' Trust me, I am fine,'' I said as I cleaned the tears away from my eyes.'' Then why were you on the floor,'' Xander asked me.'' I was coming to meet you, we were supposed to go to the shooting range for my lesson, when I fell,'' I lied again and I

Isabella's POVI didn't know where Xander was driving me to, he just kept on driving.'' Where are you taking me to,'' I asked, and Xander chuckled.'' Trust me, you will love where I am taking you,'' Xander answered as he glanced at me with a hint of amusement in his eyes.'' Trust him? Okay, I will,'' I said to myself as I relaxed back into the car.'The car ride continued for several minutes until Xander stopped at an uncompleted building.'' Where are we,'' I asked.'' Where are you going to eat the best food possible,'' Xander answered.'' But this is an uncompleted building, and it looks deserted. How can anyone sell food in here,'' I said, and Xander laughed.'' Trust me,'' He let out as he took hold of my hand, and walked me inside.And when I got inside, I froze, as I wondered if it was the same building I saw outside.The inside was beautifully decorated, with so many lights and paintings and soon a man walked up to Xander with a smile on his face.''

Isabella's POV'' What,'' I asked as I noticed Xander staring at me.'' Nothing,'' He answered, as he drifted his gaze down at his phone, but then his gaze came back on me again.'' You are making me nervous, Draco,'' I said as my gaze didn't drift my eyes away from my food.'' It is just strange that you want to know so much about me,'' Xander let out.'' I was just curious, I didn't picture you as a person that could have friends,'' I said.'' Why? is it because I look scary, or is it because I am feared by everything and everyone in this city, or is it because I am called the most dangerous man in this city, which one is it?'' Xander asked, and that was when I dared to look up at him.'' Don't blame me, you have earned your name as the Draco of this city by instilling fear in so many, and by killing people, so don't let who you are, get you mad. I am just speaking the truth,'' I said.'' It doesn't get me mad, I know who I am, and I do not want to change, I am the devil and I love

Isabella's POV If anyone had told me that I will come to enjoy Xander's company, then I wouldn't have believed it. But look at me now, sitting in the same room as him, and I do not want to rip his head out of his body. I felt so relaxed being with him now. And I didn't even know why. We were having breakfast in the dining area. I know it seemed kind of strange for me to willingly have breakfast with him, without being forced to, and trust I knew I wouldn't hear the last of it from Mary. But what can I say? Something between us had changed. I do not even know what it was yet, but it just happened. '' Bella,'' Xander called out to me, breaking me out of my invading thought. I looked up from my food, as I locked eyes with him. '' So are we going for shooting practices today, because I want to take you somewhere else,'' Xander asked. '' No, I do not think that I can come, and it is not like I don't want to, but Mia is coming today,'' I answered. '' Oh, that is today, why so soon,''

Isabella POV ''Hey you must be Mia,'' Xander let out. '' Yes I am, I am sure you know me already,'' Mia asked, but she couldn't hide the fact that she was nervous. '' Yeah, I think I do. I saw you at Bella's apartment right,'' Xander let out and Mia nodded quickly. '' It is good to see you again, Draco, Thank you for having me,'' Mia said softly. '' Do not mention it, Bella wanted you here, so you are here,'' Xander let out. '' And I am sure Bella will show you around and take good care of us. You can stay here as long as you want,'' Xander said. '' I will love to stay, but I have to work at the club,'' Mia let out. '' What club do you work at,'' Xander asked. '' Club paradise,'' Mia answered quickly. '' You are a dancer there as well,' Xander asked. '' Yes I am,'' Mia answered. '' Okay then, do not worry, I will have a talk with Dan, so you can stay here for as long as Bella wants you here.'' Xander smiled and said, as he glanced at me and soon he walked out. '' Oh wow, I

Isabella's POV Mia pulled me all the way up to my room, and when we were in, she slammed the door shut as she looked at me with anger and also confusion in her eyes. ''Start explaining yourself, what is going on? why is the Draco's cousin talking to you like that,' Mia yelled as she looked at me so intensely. '' Trust me it is nothing,'' I tried to lie, but I should have none better than to lie to Mia. '' Rubbish, I know you so well, there is something going on, so start talking, I need you to explain to me what just happened down there,'' Mia let out. I didn't know how to start explaining all that had been going on with Xavier, but the anger in her eyes coerced me to speak nothing but the truth, so I told Mia everything Xavier had done. '' You can not be serious,'' Mia said in anger. '' I am dead serious,'' he told me this yesterday. I didn't know what to do, so I have been trying my best to avoid him. '' Avoid him? Have you gone mad? You should stand up to him like the strong

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
Addicted Chapter 160
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
Addicted Chapter 155
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

Isabella's POV Many months slowly passed by, and I gradually settled in my hometown.I still thought of Xander, because his ring reminded me of him. I knew I couldn't forget him even if I tried, so I stopped forcing myself to.I frequently visited my father's grave, as being with him greatly helped me.So today, I wanted to visit him as well.'' Judith, I am going to see my father,'' I said, and she nodded.'' Alright, why don't I come with you today? Judith suggested, and I looked at her surprised because she never wanted to come with me in the past.'' 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

Isabella's POVI got back to my hometown and everything still felt the same, even the air had the same feeling that it had before.The memories of why I left came flooding but, the demons I was running away from were still lurking at every corner.But not everything remained the same. 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,
