The next morning

Isabella refuse to eat, she was so sad and crying her eyes out

When she woke up this morning started her day with tears and regrets

yes regrets, I'm regretting for been born into this world.

She muttered to herself.

if she 'd known that her coming to earth will be miserable like this then she wouldn't have come out from her mother's womb, she could have just died in her womb

She cried even though I know Xander hated it so much, she will be on his bad side if he caught her crying

Just then the door sprung open as two maids walked in, one is holding a tray while the other is holding a ceramic jug

“Oh sorry, we didn't realize we disturbed your slumber,” said the maid

“It's fine,” she say, trying her best to hide her cries.

“Here is your breakfast Missy,” says the maid, putting the tray down.

“Thank you, but I'm not hungry, you can take the food back, she said, leaving a confused look on their faces.

She wasn't having any appetite, she just want to be left alone and cry her eyes out

“But miss, you didn't take anything last night, please have your breakfast and eat now, it's not healthy to not eat,” says the other maid.

“I said I don't feel like eating!” I yell at her as I start sobbing once again

The maid left the room immediately as I cry out my eyes.

***

Xander was having his breakfast when suddenly he saw the maids coming down from the stairs with the tray still with them

He wondered if bella Finnish her breakfast so quick, or maybe she was hungry, he thought but the look on the maid's face says otherwise

They look disturbed and sad, so he decided to ask them what the problem was

“Miss bella finished her breakfast so fast, he asked the maids.

“Well she ate nothing, she refuses to eat,” says the maid.

“All she only does is cry, the other maid added.

Xander balled his fist angrily, on hearing the maid's complaint, he has warned bella severely not to cry or disrespect him, but she did anyway.

“Okay then, follow me,” he said to the maids heading upstairs to her room angrily "

He entered bella bedroom and ordered the maids to keep the food on the side table

They did as he commanded before heading outside the bedroom and closing the door

he turned to face bella, she was sitting on the bed with a tear-stained face and her hair messy

“You've disobeyed me once more, xander said coldly. She looked away from him, avoiding his gaze.

“I didn't mean to, please, she begged calmly

even though she wanted to stop crying, she couldn't because the tears kept pouring out.

“Now clean your tears and eat the breakfast, he ordered her harshly

“don't allow me to repeat myself, he warned

She slowly stood up and headed to the side table where the food was placed. She grabbed the fork and started eating as Xander sat on the bed watching bella as she eats.

“How long are you going to watch me eat?” Asked bella, feeling uncomfortable.

“Until you finish eating” he replied coldly.

“Why am I here anyway, I'm not the one owing you money, I don't have your money, why pick me instead of my dad? She demanded.

Xander stared at the petite lass before answering her question.

“Because you were the perfect one what will I do with your old dad , he answered truthfully as bella scoffed.

“And now I need a wife, and you are the perfect candidate, Xander said as bella choked on her food

Xander smirk seeing the girl choke, he has thought of how to escape his parent's plan to marry vamika

His only escape route is to bring a wife to them, he could use Bella as his escape route.

She poured some water from the ceramic jug into the glass cup, she gulped down some water before glaring at Xander with hateful eyes.

“So, what do you say? he continued smirking

She got up from the bed and glared at him angrily, her life has just moved from bad to worst

“I'll never agree to this marriage, I'll never be your puppet, she spat out angrily.

his eyes were dilated. Bella immediately moved back till her head hit the bed board and he moved with me. His face came close to her right ear and she tried not to tremble but it was hard, his warm breath fan her skin.

"Wh..what do you want from me, why did you want me to marry you " I whispered out shakingly, trying to hold back a sob.

Because i want you " he replied casually like he was talking about the weather.

"Why me.., You can have anybody you want. Just let me go" she begged.

"I don't want anyone else, you are mine," he said calmly but coldly.

She shut her eyes and her body started shivering uncontrollably, one strong arm

held her waist drawing her closer to him and his other hand rested beside her head at the bed board making her eyes snapped open. She tried wiggling to get out of his strong hold. His face dipped into her neck region without any warning.

His cologne hit her nostrils as his nose started brushing against her skin. She place her hand on his chest which made him stiff and tighten his hold on her waist. She felt his abs flexing, his skin hot under her hand as she pushed him with all her strength trying to create space between them but he didn't bulge.

He started drawing patterns with his nose on her bare skin which sent tinglings down her body and she felt mad at herself for feeling such excitement.

She was saved by the sound of a phone ringing and she inwardly thank who ever was calling him.

I have to go now little bella but I will be back" he placed a kiss on my cheek and stood up to walk out of the room. I let out a breath I didn't know I was holding as uncontrollable tears fell down her eyes to her cheeks
