ISABELLA I needed time to think about my relationship with Alexander and also with the free time I now had I was taking advantage of it to look for a place to live, I had not gathered enough money to rent a small apartment to buy things, plus the deposit, so I was looking for a room, I had already bothered Andrew and Maddie too much, I was seeing that their relationship was not going well so I needed to leave them alone so they could solve their problems.I had spent all afternoon today touring places, but they were either in very poor condition or way over my budget, I was overwhelmed.The Alexander thing plus this was making me feel overwhelmed, regarding him I didn't know what decision to make, I knew I loved him and he loved me, but I couldn't trust him completely and I would always have the doubt if he would hurt me again. And even though I couldn't wait to go find him and have him lock me in his arms making me feel that nothing else mattered at that moment but just us, my ratio

ISABELLA I felt very uncomfortable after hearing what Alexander's uncle had said, I didn't want to leave, but I did want to move to one of the seats in the back."I should change, let me go" I whispered to Alexander."Isa please stay by my side" he pleaded and he looked so sad my whole heart ached, I knew I could no longer move and leave him alone so I nodded giving his hand a little squeeze to let him know I would be here for him.Then the ceremony began and the father started to speak, the atmosphere was too sad, I could see Alexander without shedding a single tear, trying to be strong for his mother who was a sea of tears, but in his eyes you could see all the sadness that was there and the only thing I could do at this moment was to hold his hand.When it was all over, people were slowly leaving but I did not move from his side, his mom was still very distressed while he hugged her with his free arm."Mom do you want to go to my house or yours?" he asked her tenderly while he kep

ALEXANDER "Baby in a moment Emma is coming, yesterday before you arrived she showed up at my grandfather's funeral and I had no choice but to accept her coming today so she could leave without making a fuss, I don't know if you can stay in the room since I don't know what her purpose is." I told her, I was a little worried about Emma's visit with Isabella here, my mom had already left about an hour ago the driver came to pick her up and only she and I were left."No problem, but have you decided to make up with her yet? If you want to do it you know that for me there is no problem" she said with a beautiful smile, as if Emma hadn't hurt her, it was amazing how good Isabella could be, but I wasn't, I couldn't forgive Emma and my duty was to protect Isabella, so I wouldn't let her be in my life so she would have a chance to hurt her again.And if I had known Isabella would be staying with me yesterday I would never have told Emma to come along, I wanted to keep her as far away from Isa

ISABELLA Earlier today I had gone to college and for that reason I had not been able to accompany Alexander to the reading of the will, it was supposed to be a family thing anyway, so it was fine, I just wished I had been there in case he needed my support.I was clear that he was an incredibly strong and powerful man who could deal with all of this, but I knew that these things affected him too and I wanted to be there for him.After that I had gone to Andrew's apartment where I took my time to talk to him and Maddie letting them know at that time that I would be moving, Andrew was not at all happy that the place I was going to live was in Alexander's apartment, he even tried to convince me to stay longer with them, to which I immediately refused and he had no choice but to accept my decision although to him it seemed very rushed because of the problems Alexander and I have been facing.I will not deny that at this point I agree with him, but I also knew that the longer I stayed in

ALEXANDER I was reviewing some documents in my office when I get a call from Andrew, I felt like ignoring him thinking that maybe he was calling me to try to convince me to stay away from Isabella, which I wouldn't do, so I decided to answer to settle this matter once and for all."What are you calling me for? If it's to ask me to stay away from Isabella, I'm warning you once and for all that won't happen" I clarified in one breath, as I took the call off the hook before letting him talk."Don't let Isabella come home or even go near there, she shouldn't even go out, her dad was in my apartment and attacked Maddie." he explained annoyed, though in his voice you could feel the concern and I shuddered.That bastard had attacked another innocent girl again, the worst thing was that he had come looking for Isabella, I can't even imagine what he would have done to her if he found her."Damn, that dirty bastard is she ok? What hospital are they in?" I asked furious and worried, I wanted to
