Xander's POVI fixed my expression into something that could pass for composed and walked into my own restaurant feeling like a man walking toward a sentence that had already been handed down.My father had insisted on hosting here, at one of my own establishments, which he had apparently cleared of all other guests for the evening without consulting me. I noticed the emptiness the moment we stepped through the door, tables set and lit but no one at them, the usual low hum of a busy restaurant replaced by the particular quiet of a space that has been deliberately emptied.I stopped my father with a hand on his arm before he could move further in."You cleared my restaurant," I said, keeping my voice low."We needed privacy.""You could have told me. This is my business. Every empty table tonight is money I'm not making.""I am not going to stand here and discuss table covers with you," he said, with the particular patience of a man who has decided he has no patience left. "Ruby and her

Xander's POV I woke up feeling so exhausted and drained as if I had just run a marathon. I didn't want to get out of bed, I wanted to stay in the dark and unsee and unfeel all that happened yesterday. But I knew I couldn't, I couldn't wallow in my misery, I was the Draco and there was no room for weakness. So I got up, had a shower, got dressed, and made my way down for breakfast. Walking down the stairs, I saw a lot of unknown faces, hustling and bustling down the hallways. Some were carrying flowers, while others were carrying drinks. '' What is happening here,'' I asked myself and before I knew it, I was enveloped in a bone-crashing hug by Ruby. '' Good mooring my love,'' she greeted, kissing me softly. '' Ruby, what is this, why are you here so early, and why are all these people in my house?'' I asked.

Isabella's POV   ''What is all this Xavier, why are you holding me like a common criminal? I haven't done anything wrong,'' I let out, but Xavier ignored all my words as he continued to pull me along with him until he pulled me into an empty room.   '' Xavier, get your hands off me, your hurting me. What did I do?'' I let out again, confused as to why Xavier had hijacked me the way he did. But yet again, he ignored me and before I knew it, he pinned me against the wall, as he looked at me with anger in his eyes, and I could help but shiver at his dreadful gaze.   I didn't know what to make of all of this, and the confidence that I had before was all gone, as I felt nothing but fear now as I looked into his eyes.   '' You have crossed a line, red queen,'' Xavier whispered into my ear.   '' What are you saying, I didn't do anything,'' I let out with fear l

Isabella's POV'' You look beautiful, my dear,'' Mary said with a smile on her face.'' Thank you, but it is all thanks to you,'' I let out.'' Ruby is going to be so jealous because you are more beautiful than she is right now,'' Mary said and I rolled my eyes.'' Can we go now,'' I let out because I didn't want to talk about Ruby right then.Mary nodded and soon we were on our way down.I soon heard slow music, as we got closer to where the event was taking place, which made my heart beat even faster, as I dreaded seeing Xander after everything Xavier had revealed about him.I and Mary went into the venue, and it felt like everyone's eyes were on me, and it included Xander. I struggled not to look in his direction, but I failed because his eyes were like magnets pulling me in his direction.And when we locked eyes, it felt like we were the only ones in the room, and at that point, no one else mattered.He didn't look happy being here, and his eyes begged me to put him out of this mi

Isabella's POVI continued to look at Xander, not knowing what to say, as my mind was racing a thousand miles per hour.I was beyond confused, I didn't know what to think, or what to feel, as I couldn't look into Xander's eyes now.My gaze trailed to the floor as I continued trying to think, but trust me, it was hard, because I could feel Xander's intense gaze hovering all over me.'' Bella, don't do this to me, you know I hate it when you don't look me in the eyes,'' Xander said as he lifted my face to meet his.''Much better,'' Xander smirked.Drowning in the red ocean that is his eyes, I was more confused than ever.'' Tell me, Bella, tell me what I need to know,'' Xander let out as he caressed the side of my cheek.how does he even expect me to think, or even answer his question when he is confusing me with those eyes of his, and his touch? God, they were intoxicating.'' I know you have told me a lot of times that you don't want anything to do with me, and I want to accept it. Tr
