Xander's POVEverything that is happening is making my mind spin out of control. I am the Draco, I always know what to do in every situation, but this time was different, as I still couldn't understand this whole scenario where my stepmother is also Bella's mom, so that was when I knew I had to talk to my dad.I walked out of the room, quietly so that Bella could sleep. She has been through a lot already, starting with my scumbag cousin, to now finding her long-lost mom who happens to be my father's wife.I walked into my office, and thankfully my dad walked in no time.'' Perfect, it is good that you are here, we need to talk,'' I said.'' Talk about what? I just came to tell you that I am taking Lucia to a hotel.'' My dad let out.'' It is good that you are taking her away from here, but I wanted to ask you just one question, did you know?'' I let out, and my dad was quiet, as he looked at me with a blank expression on his face.I immediately knew the truth even if he refused to say

Isabella's POVMy world felt like it had come to an end, it felt like I was swimming in shark-infested waters because just in a day my whole world had fallen apart.I was happy on my getaway with Xander, thinking that nothing could go wrong. But look at me now.First, it was Xavier, laying his filthy hands on me.

Isabella POVAs soon as Xander walked out, my legs gave out on me and I fell to the floor crying my eyes out. I couldn't imagine that this was it. Our great love story had come to an end.My heart was breaking, and my body felt like it had been pierced by a thousand needles.'' Was this how heartbreak felt? Was this how it felt losing the love of your life,'' I asked myself.I soon heard the door open and when I looked up, I saw Mia rushing inside the room with nothing but a sad look on her face, and I knew immediately that she heard everything.'' You were listening right,'' I sobbed, and she nodded.'' Hey don't cry, it is okay,'' she said as she lifted me to my feet, cleaning the tears from my eyes.'' Is it true, are you leaving?'' She asked.'' Yes, I have no choice. I can't stay here anymore,'' I answered.'' What about what you have with Xander? You said yes to marrying him,'' Mia asked.'' I don't think the marriage will happen. It is over, Mia, I can not marry the son of the

Isabella's POVTrying my best not to think about anything right now, but Mia was not helping because she kept looking at me with a sad expression on her face.'' Stop looking at me like that,'' I mumbled.'' I am just worried about you, a lot has happened in your life that would make any sane woman go mad.'' Mia let out.'' I am fine,'' I said, but I knew that was not the truth.'' I know that you are not fine, you don't have to lie to me,'' Mia let out and I breathed out heavily, drifting my attention to her again.'' You are right, I am not fine, and I don't think I will ever be fine for a very long time. I didn't think it would be so hard leaving him,'' I said.'' We are not far from the house, we can go back, and you two can settle whatever it is between you both,'' Mia let out and I could see that she still didn't understand.'' I can't. I have made up my mind, it is over. Mia,'' I let out.I soon instructed the driver to take us back to our apartment.I drifted my gaze to the wi

Isabella's POVI got back to my hometown and everything still felt the same, even the air had the same feeling that it had before.The memories of why I left came flooding but, the demons I was running away from were still lurking at every corner.But not everything remained the same. The guilt I had about my father's death was all gone now that I knew who truly took him from me.I hated Agustin with all of my heart, how I wish I could put a bullet in his head.'' So why didn't you? Because no one would blame you if you did, not ever Xander,'' the voices in my head said to me.''No, even though I wanted so badly to end his life just like he ended my dad's life, I couldn't do it, because it would make me just as guilty as him,'' I said to the voices as I dismissed that thought immediately.Getting out of the airport, I took a taxi to Judith's house.A lot of emotion took over me as the car stopped in front of her house. I got down and walked to her front porch, taking in a deep breath,

Isabella's POV Many months slowly passed by, and I gradually settled in my hometown.I still thought of Xander, because his ring reminded me of him. I knew I couldn't forget him even if I tried, so I stopped forcing myself to.I frequently visited my father's grave, as being with him greatly helped me.So today, I wanted to visit him as well.'' Judith, I am going to see my father,'' I said, and she nodded.'' Alright, why don't I come with you today? Judith suggested, and I looked at her surprised because she never wanted to come with me in the past.'' Don't look at me like that, I just want to go with you.'' she rolled her eyes.''I know you always want to be alone with him, but I would like to come and pay my respect as well.'' Judith let out.'' Are you sure?'' I asked, and she rolled her eyes yet again.'' I am an old woman, don't you think by now I would be sure of what I want to do,'' she replied.'' Okay, that will not be a problem. I would be happy if you came,'' I smiled a

Xander's POV Days turned into months, each one a relentless reminder of Bella's absence. The gaping void she left behind refused to be filled, a constant ache in my chest that I couldn't shake. I understood why she had to leave, though. Agustin's actions were a stain on our family name, an unforgivable betrayal that tainted everything it touched. But despite the pain, a flicker of hope lingered in the depths of my heart, a desperate wish that Bella could find it in herself to forgive me for the sins of my father. "Son, stop torturing yourself over her. It's better this way," Agustin's voice grated on my nerves, each word a reminder of his role in driving her away. "Why are you still here? Didn't I ask you to leave?" I snapped, frustration boiling over. "Xander, you're my son. I can't just abandon you in your time of need," he replied, his tone almost pleading. "This man is pushing me to my limits," I muttered under my breath. "Look, Agustin, I don't want you around. You've caused

Xander's POV"What do you mean she's been taken?" I roared, my anger surging like a tidal wave, crashing against the shores of my composure."I'm sorry, boss. I was knocked out cold, and when I came to, she and her guardian were gone. I went back to their house, but it was empty. I fear the worst, Draco," the man confessed, his voice trembling with fear, his eyes darting nervously around the room as if expecting my wrath to materialize into physical force."How dare you return with such news!" I bellowed, the force of my voice reverberating off the walls like thunder. I seized a glass from the table, hurling it against the wall behind him. It shattered into a thousand glittering fragments, mirroring the shattered pieces of my control. He cowered before me, his knees shaking in terror, a stark contrast to the facade of toughness he usually wore."I-I'm sorry, boss," he stammered, his fear palpable, his hands trembling as he struggled to maintain his composure in the face of my rage."W
