Bella's POV
I felt something soft underneath me. I cuddled into it more. It was so warm and comforting. I heard a heartbeat coming from the pillow. That is weird.I felt something soft stroking my cheeks and warm air at my forehead. As I slowly opened my eyes, I saw Xavier gazing at me lovingly.I realised that my head was resting at his chest and my legs were tangled with his while we were cuddling each other.Sensing our position, I start to blush. When he saw this he let out a chuckle. He gave me a peck on my forehead and looked at me again.I was looking back at his eyes. His eyes were so beautiful. They were as blue as the sky. I want to keep looking at them and never look away.He slowly starts to lean in. When I realised what he was about to do, I turned my head away. "What happened? Did I do something wrong?" he asked me in worry and sadness.I quickly shook my head. I covered my mouth and said, "Bella's POV"Please. I just want to see them and let them know I am ok. I can ask them to come here. You can stay by my side all along. Please?" I asked him to give him my best puppy eyes face.His frown got deeper. "Do you have to?" he asked with the same frown. "Yes I have to. They are my only family. They were there during my hard times."I miss them also. "Please." I begged him. He started to think. After thinking some time, he let out a sigh. He looked up at me before giving out another sigh."Fine. But I have two condition." he said strictly. I looked curiously. " What are they?" I asked him."First I have to be with you at all times. Understand?" he said while raising his eyebrows. "Ok sure." I said to him. "What's the other one?""Well if I say yes, you have to come with me to see my parents." he said very casually. His parents? What? Why?If I get to see my friends then ok. "O-Ok '' I said as I scr
Bella's POVI heard two very familiar voices."Bella?".I turned to the source of the sound. There I saw them. My two best friends. Alec and Avery. I stood up and sprinted towards them and hugged them.We were in a group hug. I was crying. We were smiling at each other. "I missed you guys so much." I said as I smiled like a kid just found her parents after years."You have no idea how much we missed you." Avery said. "Yeah, you have a lot of explaining to do girl." Alec said as he raised his eyebrows.Soon I heard a growl and arms were wrapped around me. I saw behind to see Xavier frowning. "Mine." he snarled out at Alec.When I look back at both of them, they have given me the look which says 'explain now.' I sighed. "Xavier met my friends Alec and Avery, guys meet Xavier." I said.Xavier just nodded at them, while they just nodded their head back awkwardly. Xavier dismissed the two people that
Bella's POV"Love, wake up." I heard a deep voice call out as I heard someone stroking my cheeks. I stirred before stretching my body and opened my eyes.As I opened my eyes I saw, Xavier smiling at me. I gave him back a smile. He just chuckled at me. "Sorry to wake you up but you promised me that you will meet my parents over dinner."I suddenly remembered that and jolted up. I smiled at him excitedly. I always loved meeting people's family. Maybe it's because I don't have one but it always excites me to meet families and get to know them.It makes me happy to see a happy family. Seeing my excited face, Xavier gave me a confused face. "You are excited to see my family?" He asked me. I nodded my head at him. "Wow, I thought you would be nervous." he said with a questioning look. "I like to meet families and get to know them. I-I get to know w-what it is like to have a f-family" I said as I looked down.Seeing this he
Bella's POVI was staring at the couple that was standing in front of me in confusion. Not only me but also Xavier. On the other hand, the couple was looking at me with shock faces."Y-You're, you're.." Xavier's mum asked no one in particular, while pointing at me. "Hi" I waved awkwardly, not knowing what to say.Seeing this, Xavier spoke up. "Love meet my parents, Raffaele and Aurora Romano. Father, Mother, meet my mate, Bella knight." As soon as my name left Xavier's lips both of them gasped. I did not understand what was going on. "Dear, if you don't mind may I know your parents name?" Xavier's father asked me. I nodded my head."Diego and Kiara knight." I said as with confusion. When they both heard that, they visibly stiffened. "Oh dear, you have no idea how long we have been searching for you." Xavier's mum said as she came and hugged me.I looked at Xavier with confusion as he looked back at me w
Bella's POVBut I know that he would never hurt me. With that confidence, I pushed open the door. Once I opened the door, I gasped at the sight in front of me.The room was upside down. Tables flipped over. Holes in the walls. Glasses shattered over on the floor. Curtains torn apart. I was barely able to see anything in the darkness.But with the help of the moon light I saw a figure that was sitting in the bed. Xavier. He had his hands on his head. His shirt was crumpled.The sight of him shattered my heart. He looked disoriented. A lone tear left my eyes at the sight. I slowly made my way over to him. While walking there, a glass piece pierced through my thin sandals.I tried not to make a sound so that I wouldn't startle him. When I was in front of him I kneeled in front of him. I place my hands, on top of his, bringing his hands down. I gasped when I saw his face.He had dried up tears. My heart clenched at the si
Bella's POVWe were eating in comfortable silence, until Xavier's mum spoke. "So son, have you completed the mating process?" and when she said that finish, I heard Xavier cough while I sat there not understanding.Xavier looked up from his plate while his father looked nervous sitting there. "MUM!" Xavier whispered, yelled at his mother and looked at me.I just gave him a questioning look. His mother found this amusing as she just chuckled. "What? I want my grandchildren." she said as she gave an innocent look.My eyes went wide as the saucers. I looked between his mother and him. I blushed and face down. "Darling I think you should calm down." Xavier's father told his wife.She just pouted and continued eating. Well that escalated fast. Soon we were finished. We went to the living room with Xavier's phone.He excused himself and kissed my forehead, and went off to answer. After he went, his parents turned to me. "Thank you for forgiving us
Bella's POVI sighed deeply as I sat staring out of the window. It has been one week since I last saw Xavier. After the incident that night, I did not see him.When I woke up, he wasn't there and when I asked the guards, they said he had gone to take care of the job. I shrugged thinking it was urgent.But since that day I have yet to see. I miss him a lot. It physically pains me not seeing him. I know he has been avoiding me.And I am the reason. I cry softly to myself. I really miss her. His childish pout, his million dollar smile, small stubble in his jawand mostly his blue stormy eyes that held so much love when I looked into it. I felt so safe in his arms, now without him, I feel so cold and lost.He can yell at me, and I would not care. I miss his touch and smell. His absence is literally killing me. That is when I realised something.I love himI love Xavier Romano.I smile as I
Bella's POVI was confused as to what is going on. That is when I felt something hot and wet in my shoulder. I pulled away as I cupped Xavier's face.He was having tears. He wasn't crying or sobbing. But tears were flowing. I grabbed the chair and made him sit down. I cupped his face making him look at me."Hey, what's wrong?" I asked in a soft voice as if speaking to a child. "You don't love me. You will never love a monster like me. I am not worth your love. I don't deserve it." He kept rambling.It was like he hated himself. My eyes start to tear up at his vulnerability. How can he even think himself as a monster."Look at me. You are not a monster. You understand?" I told him sternly as if a mother is talking to her children."You don't think I am a monster?" He asked me as he bit his lips with shiny eyes. He reminds me of a small puppy. How can he think of himself as a monster?I shook my head at him as I smiled to reassure him.
