Isabella's POV''I am sure it will all work itself out,'' Mia said, and I smiled.'' I hope so because it feels like my world is currently taking a 360 turn,'' I let out, and Mia rolled her eyes.'' How can you say that when your life is just like those we see in the movies, it is so exciting, you know,'' Mia said, and I shook my head.''Nothing is exciting about my life right now; it is filled with constant fear and uncertainty,'' I said.'' But, anyways, why don't we go in? I feel like my bed is calling me right now, thanks to the alcohol,'' I said, and Mia smiled as we both got out of the car, making our way inside.'' What about work? Wouldn't Dan be mad that you didn't show up? I know how he can be,'' I asked.'' Don't worry about it, because when I mentioned my absence had to do with the Draco, Dan was as quiet as a church rat,'' Mia answered, and I smiled.We got into the house, and it was so dark and quiet, so we slowly made our way upstairs, but then I heard Xander's voice wh

Xander's POV It is not news anymore that I was shot at the charity ball. It all happened so fast that I didn't see my attacker's face because all I wanted to do was protect Bella, and I did, and don't regret taking a bullet for her because she was everything to me, and that kiss we shared was something that can win even a thousand men's hearts.But to my greatest surprise, I saw her back in Manny's arms when I woke up.It was impossible to contain my anger and jealousy, but I had to because I knew she was not mine to keep, and maybe that kiss we shared was not as different as I thought it was.But there was this look in her eyes that had me wondering if being with Manny was what she wanted.At first, I wasn't sure about it, but every time I saw her in Manny's arms, that look was there.And that was when I knew I had to talk to her. I needed to decipher that look in her eyes.She was out with Mia all day, and I couldn't wait for her to return because, honestly, I wouldn't say I liked

Xander's POV When she said those 3 words to me, I didn't know what to do or what to believe.''Was she saying the truth, does she love me?'' I asked myself because even though she had finally said those words that I had always wanted to hear from her, I still had this hint of doubt in my heart. Because deep down I never really thought someone so pure and innocent could love someone like me.'' There I have said, is that not what you want to hear, Xander? I love you. I still don't know how it happened, but I fell helplessly in love with you,'' she said, and there it was, the confirmation I had been looking for in her eyes.She wasn't saying this because she thought this was what I wanted to hear, she was saying this because that is what she truly felt.'' Xander this.....'' Bella wanted to say, but before she could say another word, I grabbed her, pulling her to myself as I claimed her lips, kissing her so fervently, wanting to possess every inch of her for myself.We kissed, drowning

Isabella's POV''What did you just do,'' I heard Mia scream as I walked into the room.'' I don't understand what you are going on about,'' I said as I sat on the bed breathing out heavily, as my heart was currently feeling like I was carrying the weight of the whole world.'' Don't play dumb, you know very well what I am talking about. Why did you say all that to the Draco,'' Mia let out.'' Were you listening to our conversation?'' I asked.'' No, okay, yes I was just curious, I was happy when you told him that you loved him, but why did you tell him that you could not be with him?'' Mia let out and my heart raced profusely in my heart.'' I had to, I had to tell him the truth because it was weighing heavily on my mind. I love him, that is the truth, but I can not be with him, that is also another truth.'' I said and Mia looked at me as if I had gone mad.'' Why, why can't you? You love him, right? So why are you doing this to him, and most importantly why are you doing this to your

Isabella's POVI was frozen in shock and fear, as I looked at my spilt food on the floor and then back into the space where Ruby stood. Her dreadful words kept running over and over in my mind, as I didn't know what to think or what to do.'' Next time I will not miss,'' Those words of hers were the ones that stood out in my mind, as I thought to myself what she meant by that.Deep in thought, I didn't know how long I had stood there, but soon I heard Mary and Mia's voices calling out to me.'' Isa, are you okay, what happened?'' Mia asked, breaking me out of my thoughts.'' Yes Isabella, what is going on? Why are all these in front of you?'' Mary asked.'' Uhmmm, Hi Mary... Hi Mia,'' I let out nervously, but that was not what they wanted to hear as they continued to look at me waiting for answers.'' I tripped,'' I lied and Mary nodded but Mia looked at me, maybe knowing that there was more to it.'' Oh my dear, this is my fault. I know you were wondering why I didn't bring food for

Isabella's POV I looked at Mia, wondering why she would say something like that. Then I looked back at Manny shaking my head.'' No forget about it, don't listen to Mia, she is just saying nonsense,'' I let out and Manny nodded with a smile on her face.'' Okay if you say so,'' Manny said as he walked over to me, hugging me.'' Manny, what are you doing here?'' I whispered as I looked up at him, and a frown fell on Manny's face immediately.'' Are you saying, don't you want me here?'' Manny asked softly.'' Don't say that, I want you here, I was just asking,'' I let out, holding him as I tried to assure him of that.'' Prove it with a kiss,'' Manny said, and I could hear Mia scoff in disapproval.'' If it is a kiss you want, a kiss you will get,'' I let out, kissing him softly.'' Kiss me like you mean it, Isabella,'' Manny smirked, saying, and Mia sighed loudly.'' Manny, not here because it looks like Mia has had enough of us already,'' I said and Manny chuckled.'' So tell me, why

Xander's POVI couldn't get any sleep at all after my encounter with Bella last night, as I kept on replaying in my head the part where she said she loved me because that was the only good part of last night.And, of course, her other words of rejection were the ones that give me sleepless nights.But I refused to give up on her now that I knew how she truly felt about me. I had always wanted her to love me, I had always wanted her to see me and now that she does, I was not going to let her confusion ruin that for us.She wants to be with me. It was so clear to see in her eyes, so now all I have to do is remind her of that.Since I couldn't sleep and the sun had already risen in the sky, I decided to get on with work.I had been absent for so long, so absent that I didn't even know how my business was doing and my cousin wasn't keeping me updated.

Addicted Chapter 130
Isabella's POV I didn't know that I was smiling so effortlessly as my gaze fell on Xander in all of his glory, even when he was not trying. He was still as handsome as ever.He looked at me for a while, and the look in his eyes was blissful, but the expression on his face was unreadable.He then broke eye contact with me, looking at Manny.'' Get dressed. We have things to do,'' Xander let out.'' do I have to go, I am spending time with Isabella here,'' Manny said and Xavier chuckled.'' I am sure Bella wouldn't mind,'' Xander let out as he drifted his gaze to look at me.'' I will be fine, you should go,'' I let out, but Manny still looked at me unsure.'' Are you sure?' Manny asked and I nodded a yes in reply.Smiling Manny kissed me, but my gaze was solely fixed on Xander.'' I will see you soon,'' He smiled, saying, and soon he began to walk away with Xander and Xavier.But before they could disappear out the door, Xander turned back to me, giving me one last glance that sent a
