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

Isabella's POVI had the same nightmare again when I unknowingly fell asleep on Xander's shoulder.Xander looked at me with so much concern in his eyes, that I didn't know when I rushed into his arms, taking comfort in his arms.He helped me up to my room, but he wanted to know more about what my dream was all about. But I felt so embarrassed that I couldn't tell him.When he was gone, I was so restless that I could hardly sleep.So I was up all night again, allowing my thoughts to race so profusely in my mind.In the middle of the night, I heard my room door open.I thought it was Xander, so I didn't turn around to see who it was.But when a hand slid around me, that was when I knew for sure that it wasn't Xander. Somehow, I was disappointed.'' Where have you been Manny,'' I whispered, asking.'' I thought you were asleep,'' He answered.'' Well, I am awake,'' I said.'' I had to run errands for Agustín, didn't Xander tell you?'' Manny let out.'' He did, but I never thought it woul

Isabella's POV''What?'' I yelled.'' You heard me right, this gun is yours and I am going to teach you how to shoot it,'' Xander said, effortlessly.'' You have gone mad, yes that is what is happening here, ''madness'', and I will not be a party to any of it,'' I yelled as I tried to leave, but one of his men stopped me.'' Bella just listen,'' Xander let out softly.'' No... Never, I will not listen to you, this crazy, is this why you brought me here, to do this?'' I yelled.'' What is so wrong with learning how to shoot,'' Xander asked, and I scoffed.'' Everything. Everything is wrong with it. You know not all of us are big bad wolves just like yourself,'' I let out and Xander's face fell into a frown as he just looked at me.'' I don't want to know how to shoot, I don't want to be sucked into your world of violence. So please can you tell your men to take me back home, and you know what, thank you for wasting my time.'' I let out again as I turned my back about to leave.'' Do yo

Isabella POV I woke up with a smile on my face. I was so excited about going to my next shooting practice, Xander said that we could practice anytime and I was prepared to take him up on that offer. ''I never knew that I would enjoy learning how to shoot this much,'' I smiled to myself. '' Or you enjoy the person teaching you how to shoot,'' the voices in my head screamed at me. '' No that is not it,'' I said to myself, as I didn't even know why I was trying to defend myself from the voice in my head. '' We are just friends,'' I said to the voices in my head again, and they laughed, taunting me with their words. '' You heard him very well, Isabella, he doesn't want to be your friend, he wants to be much more,'' the voice continued to taunt me. '' Well tough luck, I am with Manny,'' I said to myself, dismissing the voices in my head, as I stood up to take a shower. ''I will not allow the voice in my head to ruin my excitement,'' I said to myself again, as I walked out of the ba

Isabella's POVI didn't know where Xander was driving me to, he just kept on driving.'' Where are you taking me to,'' I asked, and Xander chuckled.'' Trust me, you will love where I am taking you,'' Xander answered as he glanced at me with a hint of amusement in his eyes.'' Trust him? Okay, I will,'' I said to myself as I relaxed back into the car.'The car ride continued for several minutes until Xander stopped at an uncompleted building.'' Where are we,'' I asked.'' Where are you going to eat the best food possible,'' Xander answered.'' But this is an uncompleted building, and it looks deserted. How can anyone sell food in here,'' I said, and Xander laughed.'' Trust me,'' He let out as he took hold of my hand, and walked me inside.And when I got inside, I froze, as I wondered if it was the same building I saw outside.The inside was beautifully decorated, with so many lights and paintings and soon a man walked up to Xander with a smile on his face.'' Xander, Amigo,'' The ma
