DRAKE P.O.V

I tapped the rim of my wine glass with my finger, leg crossed, eyes fixed on her.

Lying on my bed, while I sat across on the sofa, she was a sight…lashes heavy and damp with tears, pink pouty lips, and a delicate dimple that softened her face.

“Isabella Santos,” I muttered, swirling the wine in my glass.

Too bad she’s about to become a pawn in my game. I flicked my tongue.

“Assshhhh,” she groaned, finally stirring awake.

She stretched, clutching her head, wincing as numbness faded, then suddenly jumped up, startled.

“Where the hell am I?” she whispered, eyes straining to make sense of the room.

“Wait, am I in heaven? Oh my world, I made it… I knew heaven was the place for me,” she murmured, hopping onto the bed happily.

Her innocent bliss made me chuckle low and deep. My voice caught her attention..and she screamed, falling backward onto the floor.

“Who are you?” she asked, nostrils flaring.

My eyebrows lifted, face cold and unreadable.

“I’m Drake Houston. I sav

  • ISABELLA (The Night that ruined me)   SURVIVING

    ISABELLA POV The sound of the heavy door slamming against the frame jolted me. My breath caught as my fingers scrambled over the phone. I quickly ended the call, deleted Drake’s number from the dialed log, and powered it off. My heart raced, pounding in my chest like a drum. I pushed the phone under the bed, hiding it where Xavier wouldn’t think to look.Please, Drake… please save Eva, I prayed silently, curling myself into the farthest corner of the bed. I hugged my knees tight, forcing myself to keep my face calm, though my entire body trembled.The inner door creaked open, and then Xavier stepped inside. His expression wasn’t the wild storm from earlier. This time, he looked almost gentle, too calm for comfort. That made me shiver more.“Isa…” he said softly, rushing to my side with a small bowl of water and a towel. He crouched down and reached for my face. “I’m sorry. You know I can never hurt you, honey. I love you so much. You just… you just annoyed me.”I flinched when the co

  • ISABELLA (The Night that ruined me)   CRAZY MANIAC

    ISABELLA POVMy body felt heavy, but my mind wouldn’t stop racing. I hadn’t slept. Every time I closed my eyes, all I could see was Eva’s face…her little hands reaching for me, her cries when Xavier dragged her away. The sound haunted me.I sat curled up in the corner of the bed, staring at the wall, replaying everything over and over. My daughter was alone in that mansion with his family. With Hilda. My stomach twisted just imagining what Eva might be going through.I had to be smart. Fighting Xavier head-on wouldn’t work…I learned that the hard way. If I wanted to see Eva again, I had to act calm, pretend, make him believe I wasn’t fighting anymore. Maybe then he’d let his guard down. Maybe then I’d get a chance.The door creaked open. My body tensed.Xavier stepped in, holding a tray. “Morning, Isa,” he said softly, like nothing was wrong, like he hadn’t torn my world apart. He set the tray on the small table. “I cooked for you. Just like I used to.”The smell hit me first..eggs, f

  • ISABELLA (The Night that ruined me)   EVA PAIN

    EVA’S POVI was so sleepy.My eyes kept closing, but I didn’t want to sleep here. The kitchen chair was too hard, and the light from the big chandelier was too bright. I wanted my soft bed. I wanted Mommy’s warm arms around me.I hugged my knees tight. If I squeezed hard enough, maybe I would disappear and wake up back home.“Mommy…” I whispered. My voice cracked. My throat hurt. “Daddy…”Ma Hilda’s head turned fast. She was stirring something in a pot, and the spoon clanked so loud. She didn’t smile. She never smiled at me. Her eyes were sharp, like the point of a needle.“Stop that noise,” she said. “Crying, crying, crying. That’s all you do.”I froze. My lips pressed tight together. I didn’t want to make her angrier. But my eyes burned, and before I knew it, hot tears were sliding down my cheeks again.I wanted to say sorry, but my voice wouldn’t come out.My throat was so dry. I was thirsty.I slid off the chair and reached for the jug on the counter. My arms shook when I tried to

  • ISABELLA (The Night that ruined me)   SECLUDED

    ISABELLA POVI barely slept through the night.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw Xavier’s face. The way his eyes burned when he locked me inside. The way his voice curled around me like chains when he said, “You’re mine alone.”I tossed and turned, staring at the ceiling, then at the locked door. My chest tightened with every tick of the clock. I thought of Eva. My sweet Eva. I wondered if she was crying, asking for me. The thought alone almost broke me.I tried to think of a way out. The windows were locked, the door bolted from the outside. The room smelled faintly of lavender, but I hated it. It felt like the scent mocked me, as though Xavier had decorated this place to cage me with false comfort.By morning, my body ached from lying awake. My head throbbed, but my mind was still racing. I needed a plan.The sound of footsteps made me sit upright. My heart jumped as the door slowly opened.Xavier stepped inside. He wasn’t in his usual suits. Instead, he wore a simple white shirt w

  • ISABELLA (The Night that ruined me)   SEPERATED

    ISABELLA POVThe slam of the door echoed like a death sentence.I froze, my hands trembling against the wood as I pulled, twisted, pushed, but nothing. The knob wouldn’t turn. My heart hammered so violently it hurt.He had locked me in.I staggered back, breathing fast, the reality pressing down on me like a heavy weight. My child..my little girl..was in Xavier’s hands. The thought alone made bile rise in my throat. I pressed my forehead against the door, whispering her name like a prayer.“Eva… my baby…”I yanked at the knob again, nails scratching the wood until they hurt. I screamed, pounding my fists until my knuckles stung. “Xavier! Let me out! Don’t you dare touch her!” My voice cracked, raw and desperate, but only silence answered.No footsteps. No sound. Only the echo of my own despair.I slid down to the floor, my back against the door, shaking uncontrollably. Tears blurred my vision, but anger burned hotter than the fear. He thought he could take her. He thought he could own

  • ISABELLA (The Night that ruined me)   DARK OBSESSION

    XAVIER POV“You belong to me.”The words left my lips like a promise, like a curse, as my hand tightened on Isabella’s wrist before she could bolt with Eva in her arms.She froze, trembling, her wide eyes darting from me to the hallway as though searching for an escape that no longer existed. I had caught them. My careless mistake of leaving the study door unlocked had almost cost me everything, but fate had played its hand in my favor.“You can’t escape me, Isabella,” I whispered harshly, pulling her closer while Eva whimpered softly in her embrace. “You belong to me.”Her voice cracked, desperate and sharp. “Let us go, Xavier. Please, she’s just a child. Don’t drag Eva into this!”I ignored her pleas, though they sliced through my chest like knives. Not because I cared for her words, but because they reminded me of what she was willing to risk for Drake. For him, she would run, betray, and fight me. That thought alone made my blood boil.I yanked her forward, the fragile body of Eva
