Xander's POV
Isabella was the goddess hunting my dreams, and I didn't only see her in my dreams, but I saw her everywhere I looked, every little thing reminded me of her. She was all I could think about. No one has ever made me feel the way she does since the day that I met her. She commanded so much emotion within me, that it made me wonder why and how she has so much power over me.
And that kiss, goodness that kiss, I still think about it even in my sleep and I just can't wait to taste those beautiful lips of hers again.
But then I remember how cold and distant she was with me and that made my heart sink so deeply in my chest. I was downing my thoughts on a glass of whiskey and that was when Xavier walked in.

Maybe Bambi, we might be enemies, but we share a special bond,'' I chuckled and said to her.The frown on Mia's face increased, as she turned to look out the window.

Isabella's POV I am nervous as hell right now. I know I have been doing shows at the club for a while now and my posters were no strangers to the walls of this place, but this time it is different. This is the greatest show right now at the club. I know I should be more confident about this, but honestly, I don't even know why I was this nervous. '' Deep breaths, Deep breaths'' I said to myself as I put finishing touches to my makeup. '' You have 1 minute, Isabella, 1 minute,'' Dan burst into the dressing room yelling. Dan's outburst made my nerves even more unbearable to deal with, but thank god for Mia, who walked up to me holding me by the hand.'' You got this okay, I believe in you, you will kill it,'' Mia said to me, as she comforted me with her words. I nodded as I took in a deep breath again, calming myself down.

There you are, I have been looking everywhere for you, you got me so worried, did you see what happened, the club was in total black out,'' I heard Mia say, as her voice brought me out of my invading thoughts.'' I know I was there,'' I let out softly.'' Were you not supposed to be performing when it all happened,'' Mia asked.''Yes, I was,'' I answered.''So why are you here? Is this not the Draco's private lounge,'' Mia asked as she looked around.'' Yes, it is, and I am here because he brought me here,'' I answered and Mia's eyes widened in surpr

A job , just like that, out of no where, what was he thinking...'' I laughed to myself.'' What kind of job does he think I would be able to do for him?

You can just fire me, you gave me a promotion just yesterday, what changed, why this sudden decision to let me go,'' I let out as I tried to hold back my tears.'' This was beyond my control, Isabella, there is nothing I can do about this,'' Dan let out.'' This is something you can do, Dan. You can not just let me go just like that.
