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 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

Isabella's POV  Right now, I don't know how I am supposed to feel after the whole situation with Xander and his father. Xander's father had gotten him a wife, and somehow I could not ignore the feeling of jealousy rising up on the inside of me.  '' Foolish girl, you are not supposed to feel this way, he means nothing to you,'' My subconscious screamed at me as I walked into my room.  I was feeling so overwhelmed by everything that had just happened that I just collapsed onto my bed as soon as I walked into my room.  '' Urgh,'' I groaned out.  '' I did not even tell Xander what I wanted to tell

Isabella's POV I want you Bella, Every bit of you,'' Xander let out as his lips left mine , trailing kisses down my neck, and that was all it took for me to be pulled back to my senses. I could finally think, as my head took over, bringing my body out of what spell it was under. now seeing clearly and I was no longer bound by the spell of Xander's lips. Xander was about to claim my lips again, but that was when I stopped him. '' Stop, stop Xander,' I said, stopping him immediately as I pulled myself out of his hold. '' I can't do this,'' I let out and Xander groaned in frustration as he ran his finger through his hair. '' Why are you fighting this, Bella, because I know you

Isabella's POV   Getting off the phone with Mia, I changed my dress, I wore baggy jeans and a blue silk top, putting on a hat and black sunglasses just to hide the truth that was in my eyes.   When I was done getting ready, I walked out of my room, making my way outside so quietly just so that no one would know that I was going back, but can you hide in this house? Because when I thought I was in the clear, two of Xander's men walked up to me, stopping me in my tracks.   '' Miss Reed, We will be your security detail for today and that will be your car for whenever you want to live the permiss,'' They both said in unison and I rolled my eyes looking at the black Mercedes Benz in the corner.
