Isabella's POVEverything felt like it was moving in slow motion. Xander was in my arms and I was covered in his blood as I screamed at the now chaotic crowd of people, but it felt like my voice was being drowned out in the chaos.I looked at Xander's unconscious form with my heart racing profusely in my chest as tears ran down my eyes. Even more. I tried to pressure his wound so he wouldn't bleed out. Because at that moment I didn't know what else to do, even though I was currently thinking of a million things all at the same time.'' Please don't die,'' I whispered incessantly at him as I continued to scream for help.Luckily for me, I saw Ryan. One of Xander's men ran up to us.'' Help me, please help him,'' I cried out.'' Don't worry, the Draco will be okay,'' He said as he took out his phone, calling god knows who.'' The Draco is down, I repeat the Draco is down, I need all the men on the floor right now,'' He said on the phone.And just like magic, the place was filled with ma

Isabella's POVIt had been over a week and I still hadn't seen or heard anything about Xander or how he was doing. Xavier still had the order not to let me into his room, and honestly, I was slowly losing my mind, sleep had now become a stranger to me, and food now tasted sour in my mouth.My mind kept racing profusely, as so many negative thoughts ran through my head. I didn't know what to think anymore, as I kept dismissing the idea in my head that Xander was dead because it looked like Xavier was trying to take over.I had even hoped that Mary would bring news of Xander's well-being, but there had been nothing from her, as she kept on saying that she was still not allowed in there.I was frustrated, I even tried defiling all the odds, and just busting in there to see him, but every time I tried, Xavier was there to stop me, and right now I didn't know what to do anymore.'' Ugh, god I really can not take this anymore,'' I let out as I looked at Mary who was still seated there looki

Cora's POVI froze as I saw Ruby walk in with an unreadable expression on her face as she looked at me, but soon her demeanour changed immediately as she drifted her gaze towards Xander.'' Oh my goodness baby, how did this happen,'' Ruby asked as she ran over to Xander.'' Yes son, how did you allow yourself to get shot like this? Where were your men when this happened? The Draco getting shot in his city had never happened before.'' Agustín let out, scolding his son.'' It all happened so fast dad, I didn't see who did this,'' Xander answered, but his face clearly showed that there was more he was not telling us.'' Son, are you telling me that you didn't see the person that did this to you,'' Agustin scolded Xander, and I wondered what kind of father he was. His son almost died and all he could do was scold him.'' I did see anything Dad, get off my back already,'' Xander tried to yell, but he whimpered in pain, rolling his eyes.'' Don't worry baby, I am just glad that you are okay

Isabella's POVEven as my mind had a mind of its own, I still tried to get some sleep, though it was so hard to do because now my dreams were haunted by the memories of that night, some were good, but most of them were horrible, as I still saw myself holding Xander's bloody body in my hand's once again.Thankfully, I drifted back to reality when I heard a knock at the door.I quickly opened my eyes, blinking profusely as the rays of the sunrise threatened to blind me.Getting comfortable in the light, I heard the knock yet again, so I stood up and walked over to the door.Opening it, I was Manny standing there with a huge bouquet of white roses in his hands.I was kind of surprised seeing him here so early this morning, with flowers in his hands.'' Manny what is this?'' I asked.'' I am sorry,'' He let out with remorse laced in his voice.And I was wondering why he was apologising, but then I remembered the argument we had yesterday, and to the heavens, I forgot about that.'' Hey, I

Isabella's POVI was drowning in an ocean of invading thoughts, and Xander was at the centre of it all. It felt like he was the only thing I could think of lately, even when I knew I didn't want to.I was with Manny in the car right now, but it felt like I wasn't.'' Are you okay babe,'' I soon heard Manny ask.'' Yes, I am,'' I smiled, looking up at him.'' Are you sure because you have been very quiet and you are never this quiet,'' Manny let out and I shook my head.'' I am fine, I just have a little headache, that is all,'' I lied.'' Oh my, do you want us to go to the doctor first,'' Manny asked and I shook my head.'' No, don't bother yourself, It is just a headache,'' I said and Manny nodded as he held onto my hand, kissing it softly.'' Don't worry, we will soon get to where we are going, and I am sure if you see where I am taking you too, you will feel much better,'' Manny let out, and I forced myself to smile.'' I can not wait,'' I lied again as I turned my head to look out
