Relax everyone, I am sorry I am late,'' I said as my eyes hovered over the crowd until they landed on Bella.Our gaze locked for a second, and for the first time, I was the one who broke it, as I shifted my focus to Ruby, kissing her softly.'' Why don't we get married,'' I whispered and Ruby smiled and nodded her head.I turned to the priest, signalling for him to get started with the ceremony.''

Isabella's POV As Xander walked in, he immediately became the centre of attention now, but even with all the preying eyes on him, his eyes didn't waver from me, but for the first time I didn't see that longing he always had in his eyes for me, or maybe it was there and Xander just did a good job, masking it. Because, for the first time, Xander was the one who broke our gaze as he focused on his wife-to-be. I subdued the unwanted feeling I was having inside of me as I kept on telling myself that this was what I wanted. The ceremony soon started, and the priest commenced with the martial rights, but when Xander was asked if he loved Ruby enough to take her as his wife.

Xander's POV All through the car ride back to the house, I couldn't take my eyes off her. I hated seeing her, so scared and traumatized. And all this was my fault. She didn't ask for any of this, but I stupidly brought her into this messed up life of mine. I did this to her, I subjected her to a life of violence, not even considering how it would affect her. '' I wish there was a way to fix this,'' I said to myself. But I couldn't think of one that would keep her safe, because letting her go now was out of the question. It doesn't matter if she was no longer my marked woman, my enemies now know that she is important to me, so they will always use her to get to me. And I can't let that happen. Getting to the house, I helped her down from the car. And when we got inside, Manny ran up to us hugging her, and that reminded me that she belonged to someone else now. '' Thank you for bringing her back,'' Manny said to me. '' I told you I would, didn't I?'' I let out as I tried to ignor

Xander's POV Bella quickly moved her gaze to the floor as if she was trying to hide the fact that she was crying from me. I looked at her for god knows how long, as her gaze hovered over the floor. Seeing her like this made my heart break and I didn't know what to do to make it all better. What she had been through must have been so traumatic for her. '' Isabella,'' My voice came out just as a whisper as I could not control my emotions seeing her like that. '' Draco, you wanted to see me,'' Isabella let out and I nodded. '' Please sit,'' I let out, but Isabella shook her head. '' No, I prefer to stand, if you don't mind,'' Isabella said whilst still avoiding my gaze, and trust me, I hated it. '' Bella stop all this and just sit, I need to talk to you,'' I stated, but Isabella shook her head, still refusing. '' At least look at me,'' I let out and that was when she slowly lifted her head, meeting my gaze. Her eyes held something I had never seen before. ''a newfound pain that

He saved my life anyway.But trust me, it soon became a bad idea.He just told me that I had to go with him to a safe house after I told him that I wanted to leave.'' Oh, what was I even thinking? that the Draco would let me go just like that, that Xander would freely relinquish the hold he has on me?'' I said to myself.I still tried to put up a fight though, but all

Isabella's POVI couldn't sleep all night, and when I finally did, I had nightmares. My dreams were filled with images of Javier and the traumatic experience I had when he took me. Even in my sleep, I could still feel the cold hard end of Javier's gun on my head.The nightmare invaded my dreams, and I could barely sleep for an hour straight, and thankfully by the time I woke up, it was already morning.Somehow, I have gotten used to waking up in Xander's old house, so waking up here kind of felt strange.Tossing and turning, I got off the bed, and I walked over to the window, looking outside, and we were in the middle of nowhere. I could only see trees and bushes, no sign of life anywhere, except for us.Breathing out heavily, I hoped that these tall trees would keep us hidden from Javier.I stood there staring outside, for god knows how long because there was something peaceful about looking at the trees. But I was soon broken out of my peaceful state when I felt somebody touch my sh
