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
Addicted Chapter 129
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.

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

Isabella's POVBreathing out, I walked into the kitchen and opened the fridge, and looked for where Mary kept the almond milk.Searching and searching, I couldn't find it, so I had to settle for chocolate milk instead.Putting on the stove, I got a pan and poured the milk into it, placing it on the stove, and allowing it to boil.Lost in thought again, I forgot that I had something on the stove, and when I got myself again, the milk was already boiling excessively.Rushing over to put the stove off, I tried to pour the hot milk into a cup.'' You should really let that cool down,'' I suddenly heard Xander's voice, which startled me, where I stood, making me pour the milk that instantly burnt my skin.'' Ouch,'' I cried out in pain.Xander quickly rushed to my side, trying to see if I was okay.'' Come on let's get this underwater, first, it will help,'' He said as he moved me to the sink, running my hand under the cold water.'' Stay, I will get the first aid kit,'' he said as he walk
