Isabella's POV ''You are really leaving with him, Isabella, '' Aiden's voice stopped before I got to the door.'' Yes I am, are you still demanding that I stay here,'' I turned to look at him.Within seconds, Aiden stood up from the couch and walked toward me.He looked into my eyes so intensely, as if he was trying to decipher why I insisted on going back with Xander. Then he pulled closer to me, caressing the corner of my face as he tucked a few loose strands of hair behind my ear.'' Isabella, Listen to me, I care about you so much, why are you doing this to me, why are you treating me this way,'' Aiden asked softly and I could see the pain in his eyes.'' I don't know what you are saying, I am not treating you badly, Aiden,'' I said, and Aiden shook his head as anger flamed in his eyes.'' Then why do you insist on making me suffer? Why do you want to go back with that man knowing fully well who he is?'' Aiden let out.'' Aiden you will not understand,'' I said as I tried to expl

Isabella's POV We got back to the house in no time because Xander instructed the driver to drive to the house in under 30 minutes, and of course, Draco always gets what he wants.Packing at the front of the house, Xander didn't let me get down by myself, as he quickly picked me up from the seat again.'' You know I can walk right, and this is not that bad,'' I said, but Xander only ignored me as he took me up to my room.He laid me on the neatly arranged bed, as he covered me up with the duvet.'' I will get the doctor,'' I said as I saw genuine concern in his eyes. I nodded and immediately Xander hurried out of the room and in no time, he came, but with a middle-aged man.'' This is the doctor, he will check on you,'' Xander said as he stood by as the doctor checked on my leg.'' Draco, it is just a sprained ankle, she will be fine, but she has to stay off her feet for a couple of days and if she wants to walk around she will have to use crutches.'' But she is obviously in pain,''

Isabella's POV I couldn't wrap my head around the fact that Xander had a normal childhood just like everyone else, he had loved and also suffered the loss of a parent, which I could also totally relate to because I have never really got over my dad's death, but can anyone really get over the loss of a parent, losing someone that close to you can change you, because I know it has changed me as well.So now, somehow, I totally understand Xander, and why he is the way he is.'' All set, you all ready and looking so beautiful,'' Mary said, smiling.'' Thank you, Mary, you are the absolute best,'' I smiled as I looked at my beautiful self in the mirror.'' So should I get you your breakfast here?'' Mary said and I shook my head.'' I want to leave my room, can't I have breakfast somewhere else,'' I asked, as I was already tired of staying in my room.'' But... I don't think the boss would like that, he wants you to stay up here to recover fully,'' Mary said, and I rolled my eyes.'' Mary,

Isabella POVI was startled, as I saw the man storm onto the patio with blood all over him and he was badly bruised. He looked like he was shot also because he kept on holding onto his side, which was bleeding profusely.He fell to the floor, and I just couldn't understand what was going on. Xander rushed to his side and asked him several questions about what happened to him.The man said a name... Javier and that name sounded all so familiar.“Where have I heard that name from before? It sounds so familiar,'' I asked myself, and that was when I remember.''It was that scary man that cornered us a few days ago, the same man that asked for Xander's life,'' I said to myself as the mere thought of him made me shiver in pure fright.Xander was so angry, that he even instructed Mary to take me away from there, but I refused. I wanted to know more about what this man called Javier had done, because, weirdly, I was concerned about Xander.But Xander's man said something that made me freeze i

Isabella's POVDays later.. The past few days were pure torture for me. After that incident, I became a shadow of myself, as the thought of someone wanting me dead was so terrifying to me.I had locked myself up in my room for days ever since it happened because I was so scared and, honestly, I didn't have the power or will to deal with anyone at all.The only person who I allowed into my room was Mary, and apart from her I couldn't stand to see anyone else , most especially Xander. He was the last person I wanted to see. He is the reason for all of this and, honestly, I couldn't look past that.But even though, I was still so mad at him, I knew I had to see him either way, and I couldn't just lock myself in there forever.Since it was almost noon and with my leg feeling much better, I decided to leave my room.'' I want to go and see Xander,'' I said, and Mary looked at me smiling.'' You finally want to leave your room, that is so wonderful, I would take you to him,'' Mary said wit

Isabella's POVAll I could think about was the encounter with Xander. My sleep was even haunted by memories of it in my dreams, but when I woke to the light I knew I had to get rid of it all. I was going to work for this man, so I knew I couldn't entertain any unwanted feelings towards him.So I got up, took a shower and I quickly got dressed. I was about to leave the room when Mary walked in with a tray of food in her hands.'' And where are you going to,'' Mary asked as she dropped the plate of food on the table.'' I am starting work today,'' I said, and Mary's eyes shone in shock.'' Work... why,'' Mary asked and I was confused.'' Why what? What do you mean,'' I asked.'' Why do you want to work, you are the lady of the house, you do not need to work,'' Mary let out and I did not know when I started laughing.'' Lady of the house?'' I laughed even more.'' Mary, I am nothing of such, I am not a lady of the house, and I need to work to earn a living while I am here, I don't want t

Isabella's POV I spent most of my time in my room, just working. I never came out. I never saw anyone, I was so engrossed in my job that everything seemed so insignificant. Mary hated that I locked myself up and all I did was work , but what I can say is I love working and it made me take my mind off a lot of things.And also, I found some disturbing discrepancies that I had to understand better and figure out what was going on, because the more I added up new numbers and calculated the inventories, the more they did not add up. It looked like someone was stealing from Xander, but I didn't want to jump the gun, I had to be sure rather than accuse someone falsely.But more days went by and my suspicion grew even stronger, the numbers were still not adding up, and it became clear that someone was stealing from Xander. But my problem now was whether I should tell Xander.Lost in thought, I knew I needed some advice, so I picked up my phone and called Mia.'' Hey Mia, Is this a bad thing

And even though I didn't want to, I had to accept her conditions.It was just so hard for me every day to just suppress my feelings towards her, to call her Isabella and not Bella like I always used to call her.
