chapter 10
Isabella's heart hammered in her chest , she was planning to kill someone today and she couldn’t gather her thoughts. Alessandro had been away all day but she hoped to God he’d return before she fell asleep or worse used the knife on herself.
She heard ruffling outside the door, she quickly tucked the knife safely under her pillow on the couch and snuggled into the blankets, pretending to be asleep. She heard the creaky sound of the door as it was pushed open and the noiseless footsteps. Suddenly the footsteps halted and the silence heightened her emotions, it threw her heart into a frenzy.
“Isabella, I can hear your heartbeat from outside the door", his voice floated across the room, she tried to ignore the tingles his voice caused her. She sat up from the bed and stared him down.
He stared at her for a while and suddenly he grinned, “Are you going go kill me?”.
She froze. He smiled broadly, “This would officially be the lamest attempt anyone has ever made on my life. You should gather your thoughts first”.
Isabella frowned, her cover was blown, all the hard day’s effort for nothing. She had just one option, “ Here goes nothing”, she murmured under her breath. She snatched the knife from under her pillow and ran across the room towards him.
In an effortless swift motion he held her hand and snatched the knife and tossed it across the room. With his hand holding her wrist and the other on the low of her back, he pulled her close until she was pressed against him. Isabella was flushed, for a couple of minutes, all she could hear was her rigorous breathing.
His soulless eyes stared into her blue ones and for some reasons she didn’t know, his cold skin gave her warmth. His eyes trailed down her body and he smirked. She mentally cursed herself for wearing a short night gown.
“You’re indebted to me remember?”.
“I hope you burn in hell".

Isabella couldn’t deny that being so close to Alessandro had provoked many emotions she didn’t know she had, she had to remind herself of the many reasons she hated this man and it wasn’t long before the embers of hatred were fuelled in her heart again.
She opened the door to meet the guard that was waiting outside, she groaned. As a result of the little stunt she had pulled last night, she was stuck with a guard. He followed her without a word. She got to the kitchen.
Marie noticed her walk in, “Bella I heard what you did last night, Alessandro told...”
“Of course isn’t he a big baby?”, Isabella interrupted her making funny faces mimicking a cry baby.
“Bella...”
“If he wasn’t some kind of supernatural demon, he would be dead now", Isabella continued, she turned to the guard who stood at the door, just realising he was listening to their conversation.
Marie noticed her expression and turned to him, “You should stay outside...”.
“But sire has given me orders", he replied.
“You can leave her with me for a while, it’s not like she’s going to attack me".

She had resumed eating in the kitchen with Marie and the other staffs. It was quite obvious she wasn’t a guest here but a prisoner so she decided to do well to stay in her limits.She flipped the pages of the book that Marie had lent her to read, she was bored of staying indoors all day alone by herself.Alessandro walked in with Cecily and another lady. Isabella’s eyes stared fixatedly on Alessandro he was nothing like the prim and proper prince that she knew. His dark long hair was let loose and it draped against his shoulders. He was in casual clothing, nothing like his usual royal regalia. He looked almost normal until he flashed his fangs.“It seems like you’re already adjusting to life here”, he remarked, “Well that’s good since you will be my escort to the ball of a lifetime, he came to sit besides her on the couch, she moved away

After her and Alessandro’s conversation in the past week, things between them had been different, they had been able to come to a mutual understanding.She could never understand why there were wars and killings, she didn’t know why her father had killed the queen, thinking about it clearly she realised she didn’t know him well. She couldn’t justify Alessandro’s actions, many innocent lives were put on the line for him to achieve his revenge.However she fully understood the reason why he did what he did. She would have done the same if she was in his place. She hadn’t forgiven him but she knew plotting her escape was impossible.
