Chapter 50

Isabella's POV

"Why did you do this time around?"

"I called him a beast" I gulped down my drink. The intensity of the manner that he drew towards me would have frightened any other woman but for some reason which I couldn't fathom, I just wasn't frightened. We were in the middle of a party. His grandmother was present, and he wanted nothing more than to make a good impression.

Rodrigo loved her and would not want her to think otherwise of him. That was the only weakness I have noticed so far. It meant that I could say a lot at this party and get away with it but then, after the party, I would have to pay for my sins, all of them.

"Can I steal her for a moment?" That was all he said before wrapping his hands around my waist. I had a feeling he wanted to scold me for something I wasn't even sure about.

However, his plans were cut short again as it was time for us to dance and so we had to make our way to the dance floor, leading the dance before every other person could join in.
