Isabella's POV
''What is all this Xavier, why are you holding me like a common criminal? I haven't done anything wrong,'' I let out, but Xavier ignored all my words as he continued to pull me along with him until he pulled me into an empty room.
'' Xavier, get your hands off me, your hurting me. What did I do?'' I let out again, confused as to why Xavier had hijacked me the way he did. But yet again, he ignored me and before I knew it, he pinned me against the wall, as he looked at me with anger in his eyes, and I could help but shiver at his dreadful gaze.
I didn't know what to make of all of this, and the confidence that I had before was all gone, as I felt nothing but fear now as I looked into his eyes.
'' You have crossed a line, red queen,'' Xavier whispered into my ear.
'' What are you saying, I didn't do anything,'' I let out with fear l

Isabella's POVI willed myself off the floor, got out of the room, and I slowly made my way back to my room. You know how I was so happy this morning and I felt nothing could ever bring me down? Well, I was wrong, because my morning had been filled with so much drama and it was not even noon yet.''I couldn't even go to see Mia anymore like I wanted to,'' I said to myself.I lay on my bed, allowing my thoughts to wander wild in my head, as all I could think about was Xavier's words to me.Wallowing in my misery and pain, Mary walked in with a tray of food in her hands.'' Isabella, you disappeared. Where have you been? I came back to where I left you talking with Xander and you were gone. I also checked your room and you weren't either.'' Mary asked, but I didn't answer.'' What is going on, did you and Xander get into a fight again,'' Mary asked, and ignored her yet again.'' Talk to me my dear girl, I am worried about you,'' Mary said, but I still couldn't bring myself to say a word

Isabella's POV'' You look beautiful, my dear,'' Mary said with a smile on her face.'' Thank you, but it is all thanks to you,'' I let out.'' Ruby is going to be so jealous because you are more beautiful than she is right now,'' Mary said and I rolled my eyes.'' Can we go now,'' I let out because I didn't want to talk about Ruby right then.Mary nodded and soon we were on our way down.I soon heard slow music, as we got closer to where the event was taking place, which made my heart beat even faster, as I dreaded seeing Xander after everything Xavier had revealed about him.I and Mary went into the venue, and it felt like everyone's eyes were on me, and it included Xander. I struggled not to look in his direction, but I failed because his eyes were like magnets pulling me in his direction.And when we locked eyes, it felt like we were the only ones in the room, and at that point, no one else mattered.He didn't look happy being here, and his eyes begged me to put him out of this mi

Xander's POV Bella was a ray of sunshine in this god-forsaking engagement I had to endure through. When I saw her walk in, it felt like I could finally breathe again.She wore this beautiful dress that highlighted her curves so perfectly that it had everyone's eyes on her. But I don't blame anyone who was mesmerized by her beauty, because she is a goddess.When our eyes locked, it felt like we were the only ones in the room, as I begged her to just do something to put me out of the misery of having to marry Ruby.But no matter how much I prayed for her to disrupt this sham of an engagement, I knew my wish was so far-fetched because Manny came to her, breaking her out of our gaze.I kept an eye on her all through the night, because no matter how I tried I couldn't take my eyes off her. I just couldn't.But soon after Ruby's silly speech, Bella was gone.Confused, my eyes hovered across the crowd looking around for her, but she was nowhere to be found.'' Excuse me, I will be right bac

Isabella's POVI continued to look at Xander, not knowing what to say, as my mind was racing a thousand miles per hour.I was beyond confused, I didn't know what to think, or what to feel, as I couldn't look into Xander's eyes now.My gaze trailed to the floor as I continued trying to think, but trust me, it was hard, because I could feel Xander's intense gaze hovering all over me.'' Bella, don't do this to me, you know I hate it when you don't look me in the eyes,'' Xander said as he lifted my face to meet his.''Much better,'' Xander smirked.Drowning in the red ocean that is his eyes, I was more confused than ever.'' Tell me, Bella, tell me what I need to know,'' Xander let out as he caressed the side of my cheek.how does he even expect me to think, or even answer his question when he is confusing me with those eyes of his, and his touch? God, they were intoxicating.'' I know you have told me a lot of times that you don't want anything to do with me, and I want to accept it. Tr

Isabella's POV I woke up feeling exhausted and tired. Yesterday was a total bust, as I still felt so weak from my encounter with Xander. The events of yesterday kept on playing in my mind, as Xander's words were the only thing I could think of.I was no longer his marked woman, I was officially free, freedom was what I wanted from the very first day the Draco claimed me as his and now that I have it, I really did not know how to feel about it.Reluctantly, I got up from my bed. As I made my way to the bathroom, I needed someone to talk to, and it was only Mia who could understand what I was going through.So I took a shower and got dressed. I picked up my bag and made my way downstairs.I was on my way out when Mary stopped me.'' Where are you going so early in the morning,'' Mary asked.'' I need to leave this

Isabella POV ''Are you sure about this,'' Mia asked. '' Yes, it is what is best for both of us. We are from two different worlds, Mia. Two worlds that will never collide,'' I answered. '' Okay, if you say so, at least you have Manny, and I am sure he is good,'' Mia said as she looked at me, so intensely, as if she was trying to decipher my thoughts. '' Yeah he is, he is wonderful,'' I smiled and said. '' That is great, then you should be happy,' Mia let out. And her question caused chaos in my heart, as I asked myself one question. '' Was I truly happy? I searched my heart for the answer to my question, but I couldn't find one. '' Don't overthink it, Isabella, of course, you are happy with Manny,' The voices in my head said to me, as it convinced me that I was only overthinking things. '' Of course Mia, I am happy,' I said and Mia smiled. ''Then that is all that matters,'' Mia said. We were still talking, trying to catch up when Aiden walked in. '' I have all the necessar

Xander's POV What I am currently feeling can not be expressed in words, it felt like I had lost the biggest battle of all.Bella, my very own Bella, hated me, and that was a feeling that inflicted more pain than any bullet could ever do.She knew all that I did in the quest to get her, and it still baffles me how she found out.But that was not important now, because I had truly lost her for good.A thousand and one feelings were churning deep inside me, some were of remorse, while some were of pure anger.I hated that I allowed myself to be used by that word called love, I hated that I allowed myself to be so vulnerable to Bella, and yet she couldn't even bring herself to choose me.I am the Draco, the most dangerous man in this city. People tremble at the mention of my name, but all that was gone when it came to her. I couldn't even claim her as mine, and this was new to me because, as the Draco, I always got what I wanted.''No. This has to change. I have to stop feeling this way

Xander's POV''What did you do? You just killed him,'' I yelled in anger.I was livid. I was covered in another man's blood. I could not understand what was going on. My cousin Xavier had just killed the only witness I had in my quest to find out who the thief was.'' Why did you do that,'' I rushed to my cousin, pointing a gun at his head.But my cousin didn't say a word, he just kept on looking at me.'' Speak! or have you gone deaf? Why did you kill him,'' I yelled, asking.'' You were holding back, cousin, it was so not like you, so I had to do something so that your men would not think that you are weak,'' Xavier said softly, and strangely with remorse in his eyes.'' I didn't ask for it, Xavier, he was about to say something, you might have just killed an innocent man,'' I yelled.'' I am sorry cousin, I was only protecting your honour,'' Xavier said softly.Groaning out, I yelled at the top of my lungs, as the anger I felt consumed me.Not knowing what to make of this, I storme
