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. Did I do something wrong , yesterday's performance hitch was not my fault?'' I rumbled on and on until Dan stopped me.'' Isabella, I know that, and my decision to let you go is not because of that, you are my best girl here,'' Dan said.'' So why this, why are you letting me go,'' I asked, and Dan shook his head.'' Like I said, it is beyond my control, so I need you to pack your things and leave immediately, you can come tomorrow for your paycheck,'' Dan said.''

Isabella's POV Getting home, later that night, I went straight to my room. It wasn't no news how every encounter with the Draco always made me feel like my world was going to end at any moment. It always felt like I was trying to breathe underwater whenever he was close, and tonight was no different.So lying on my bed and wallowing deep in my own thoughts felt so appealing to me right now.I lay on my bed, closing my eyes as I allowed my thoughts to run wild. My peaceful darkness was still haunted by the image of his red-eyed man, his words rang in my ear over and over again, and it even made me start to contemplate accepting his job offer.But I knew that accepting work for the Draco was impossible.The morning came so soon and, for the first time in months, I woke up really early.I got up from bed, took a shower and made my way to the kitchen to prepare some breakfast for me and the others.Getting done with breakfast, I poured myself a cup of coffee as I sat in front of a comput

'' I am sorry Miss Isabella, there is nothing we can do about that, there is no vacant position here anymore,'' he said and. But like that, I didn't know what came over me. I lunged at the man holding onto his shirt so forcefully. '' No you can not do this to me, you can not treat me this way, I need this job,'' I pulled at his shirt, as I forced him to give me what I wanted. '' Miss, let go of me,'' The manager offered, but I ignored him. '' you can not treat me this way, I really need this job,'' I continued to hold onto his shirt. '' There is nothing I can do, let me go on less. I would have the security,'' He let out, but I didn't care.

Feeling broken and frustrated, I didn't know what I would do with myself anymore , the only job that I thought I had, was only a mirage to me, and with that the tears I had been trying to hold back came rushing back out as I walked hopelessly on

Isabella's POVI looked at him intensely, as I was so locked in his gaze that it made me paralyzed where I stood. As always, my body was a slave to his touch, and for a moment I didn't care that I was standing in the middle of the street, so close to the most dangerous man in this city.His voice was like a siren call, pulling me to my very destruction. And his touch felt like a heap of burning coal on my skin. I knew it was bad for me, but somehow right now my body just couldn't stop yearning for his touch.'Fuck I need to get myself together, I have to regain control of my very own body,'' I said to myself, and so, even though it was hard, and even though I had to fight tooth and nail to regain control of my body, I finally did as I pulled away from his hold.I swallowed hard as I looked up at Xander, trying my best to level my breathing.'' Why don't you just leave me alone, Draco,'' I let out softly.'' You have been a thorn in my flesh since the very day I met you,'' I said, but

Isabella's POV'' Do you mean like a date,'' I asked, just to be sure.'' I do not care what you want to call it, I just want to take you out to clear your head,'' Aiden smirked and said.'' So it is not a date,'' I said again.'' Whatever you want to call it is fine by me, but when I truly want to take you on a date, trust me it wouldn't be this way,'' Aiden let out with an infectious smirk on his face.''

I am ready,'' I said as I walked up to him.'' Good, prepare to have your mind taken off from the horrors of today,'' He said as he took my hand in his, ushering me out of the door.''

Isabella's POV'' This was really fun, thank you for taking me out today,'' I said as I looked up Aiden.'' Anything to put a smile on that beautiful face of yourself, and just keep in mind that when I finally take you on a date it would be much better than this,'' Aiden smirked, instantly making me blush as he hauled down a taxi. Aiden quickly opened the door for me as he ushered me inside the car.We continued to chat and laugh, as we reminisced about our time at the skating ring. Aiden was sure a sweetheart.

He made sure that I was happy, even if it was just for a few minutes, and I was so grateful to have him with me.But I constantly cursed my thoughts, for always being invaded by the thoughts of the Draco and the memories of all that happened today, even when I knew I didn't want to.Xander was like a virus spreading through my body and I had no idea about how to make him stop.
