chapter 5
It had been two weeks since their last confrontation. She had barely seen Alessandro in those two weeks, he seemed to come late at nights and leave before it was dawn. She hadn’t thought she would have come out unscathed, he seemed really furious at her.
She wasn’t blind, she had seen the bewildered expressions on Aunt Marie’s face and the servants. However to her surprise he had just walked out on her. It was all for the best, nothing about him was normal, his touch was cold and not to leave out the fact that his overpowering presence caused her to squirm. He gave her the creeps.
She tied her long black hair in a ponytail and gave the large room a once over, the large bed in the room was big enough for 5 grown people, the curtains were a deep maroon, they hung from the four poster bed, the curtains on the windows were the same colour, the curtains were drawn shut and as usual, the only source of light was the oil lamps.
There was a small walk in closet and an adjoining bathroom, the bed posts, night stands, were all made of deep mahogany wood. A fireplace was located on the far right wall with a huge mirror hanging beside it. It was a typical palace only much more high standard.
The walls were black and they gave off the masculine feel to it. At the far end of the large room was a large black couch and fluffy pillows, she had used that as a bed, a small closet was placed near it, containing a few clothes for her.
She kept her activities here to the barest minimum, apart from showers and when she went to sleep, she barely spent time in the room. The rest of her time was spent in the kitchen either reading a book Marie had lent her or helping her prepare meals or sometimes just listening to her talk about everything and nothing.
Marie was the peace amidst the chaos she had found herself and when Cecily was able to get rid of her fears at times, she was the much needed friend that Isabella so desired..
She had tried to regain her composure for her own sanity, she knew if she wanted to leave here alive and unhurt, she had to be strong somehow. She couldn’t think of any way she could escape from this place, she didn’t know her way about the kingdom let alone outside the kingdom.
She knew however that if she ever wanted to flee she needed to gain her captors trust. Now where was her captor that she was supposed to impress, she mused.
She dropped her hair brush carefully among the things that Cecily had brought for her and quickly walked towards her safe haven, the kitchen.
“Aunt Marie".
“Bella", Marie squealed loudly like a little child as she hugged Isabella tightly.
Isabella smiled, the old lady was always a burst of sunshine.
“Come here my dear, I prepared breakfast for you”, she pulled a chair out of Isabella and helped her settle in, “I hope you like it though...”, she trailed off, her eyes fixated at the door, “Where is Cecily?”.
“I’ve not seen her this morning".

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

Isabella sat in the dining room with King Alessandro and Kieran. 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. She had just two options, live this new life or as she hoped one day be whisked away from this life.Her breakfast of Cinnamon rolls and hot chocolate was placed before her.
