Isabella's POV:

Leonardo was dragging me up the stairs with all the others in front of us.

We all made it to the top of the stairs in the third floor now and I think we were going to summers room first

We reached a hallway which had many doors and all had names on

Summers was a few doors down and just like they said it was in-between Jacobs and Killian's

Leonardo wrapped his arm around my waist as we all approached summers room

I looked at Leonardo with a frustrated look but he just smirked down at me like he was mocking me

Oh I'd love to give his pretty face a black eye.

They opened the door to summers room and she walked in slowly with all of us following

The room was stunning and I could tell summer thought the exact same

A large queen bed, a dark red theme to it and a large television

It looked very expensive to say the least.

A walk in closet and a fancy bathroom too

"Is it okay?" Jakob asked clearly deep inside wanting summer to be happy but knowing she'll never be here

"It'll um do" summer shrugged but I knew inside she loved it and was screaming like a little girl out of excitement

Killian rolled his eyes with a smirk on his face

Summer turned to me and winked making me smile slightly once again

"I'm glad you like it summer" Jakob said sarcasticly and summer just looked away , nodding in reply

"Right , good night sis" Jakob tried to hug summer goodnight but summer swiftly avoided him

She did not look impressed.

"Call me that again and I will never speak to you again" summer told him look at Him in disgust

Her words made me chuckle quietly.

Jakob gave her a look and when he heard me laugh he also turned around with a look as if he was warning us but it was too funny not too laugh

The other all said separate good nights to her

Killian adding a cheeky "goodnight my love" once they all finished

I see you Killian.

Nah he had no chance though summers much better than him.

Summer gave him a suspicious look not replying to any of them

She walked over to me waiting for me to hug her but Leonardo still had his arms around my waist

"Can I hug her?" I asked him looking down at his arms around my waist and back up to his face

"Oh right" he realised slowly removing his arms from around my waist so I could hug summer

So that's what I did.

She hugged me tightly and I think it was the safest I'd felt in years.

"You gonna be okay?" She muttered in my ear but I was fairly certain because of how quiet it was Leonardo at the least heard her ask

"I'll be fine don't worry sum" I whispered back as she seemed worried and I didn't want her to be

She pulled back keeping a hold of my arms staring at me to make sure I wasn't lying

"Alright goodnight iz I love you" she spoke after a minute with a small smile and reassuring look on her face

"Good night I love you" I told her and Leonardo was clearly waiting for us to be done because the moment I finished speaking his arms wrapped around my waist again

We all slowly left summers room and I gave summer one last look before being brought to my room

Victor opened the door to my room staring at me and Alexander from the side with something that seemed like hope

We walked in the room and they're was only one word for it

Beautiful.

The room was magnificent.

A bookcase on one side , a queen sized bed , a rose gold and white theme too it.

It was stunning

Just like summers it had a walk in closet and large bathroom connected to the room as well

"You like it? We can change anything you need us to-" Ace rambled for some reason so I cut him off

"It's beautiful" I replied shortly not wanting to get them to excited

He nodded, taking a deep breath out of relief.

"Right I've got to get something but I'm going to come back because I wanna speak to you before you go to bed" Leonardo told me with a small , very small hint of a smile

I just nodded not answering

"We should go too , goodnight Isabella" victor spoke giving me a his normal emotionless look

"Goodnight Isabella" Alexander spoke but he said my name in a werid way

Maybe I'm just overthinking it

Killian and Ace both also said goodnight in a similar way to Alexander

Weirdos.

They all left and so i sat down on the bed finally being alone

A sigh left my mouth , my head in my hands as thoughts started to race around my head but I decided I wasn't going to let myself sit here miserable

So instead I got up and looked at the books on the bookshelf

So many romances

I was a book girl at heart especially when it came to romances

I went through each one slowly scanning through them to figure which one I'd read first

"You like to read?" Leonardo's voice appeared from behind me

Scaring the shit out of me may I add.

I jumped out of my skin.

"Omg you scared me" I muttered turning around to him being right behind me

"I apologise love , so do you like to read?" He asked looking down at me intensely with a small smirk

I took a minute to answer him before nodding my head.

"What type of books?" He asked seeming intrigued

"Romance" I answered shortly not wanting to give him any reason to continue staring at me and not telling me why he's actually here

He hummed in reply with a smile now

He walked over to my bed and patted besides him

"Come here" he demanded and I sighed but walked over anyways

He pulled me down so I sat beside him

"Look I know you hate me and this is really hard for you , I understand that and I do plan to try get you to love me back but firstly I needed you to know I am never gonna hurt you" he started staring me directly in the eyes keeping intense eye contact

I just looked at him with a blunt face

I didn't believe him honestly because I'm sure to keep me with them my parents would have said the same thing so I could do their shopping and cleaning.

He needs a wife and he chose me

And love him?!

As if.

"Secondly I need you to wear this" he pulled out a small box and opened it , it was a ring

A ring that we all knew was more than a welcoming gift.

The start of my personal hell.

"Is that-" I mumbled staring at the ring in shock

It was stunning and shiny

It looked as if it could be worth millions but I couldn't wear it.

"Yes it's our engagement ring and I need you to wear it" Leonardo told me making me take a huge breath in out of shock

I didn't think he'd spring it on me so fast

"I'm sor- I can't" I stumbled over my words not knowing what to say because I desperately did not what to give in and wear the ring

Not yet atleast.

I know I'll have to but I can't handle it right now I've barely processed.

"Come on Isabella please" Leonardo stared at me as I stared at the ring with a horrified look

I was scared

I wanted to deny it was actually happening.

All day I've been forcing myself to pretend it's not happening and deny it but this would be a confirmation that it is in fact happening.

"Leonardo please I've barely processed it all I just-" I looked up at him with a nervous look

I just couldn't do it.

"I know but you just have too , put the ring on Isabella" he spoke getting impatient but I wasn't gonna just give in because I can't just let him take everything from me in one day without processing it

"No! I can't , okay?!" I snapped at him because he had no right to get angry at me right now

He was completely losing his temper with me I could tell.

"Put it on!" He yelled at me clearly not liking the fact I had yelled at him

"No! Leonardo please!" I begged him to leave me be for now but he just wouldn't listen

He looked at me really angry.

He pushed me down in the bed ,holding me tightly in place by my arms

My heart racing in my chest because of how angry he was.

"Your going to be my wife Isabella! You will wear this ring because you are mine , understand?!" Leonardo shouted at me and I pushed back the tears that threatened to reach the surface and started at him with fear

"No Leonardo I don't understand because I've had no time to understand, I was gone for two days and I somehow make it back and your all telling me I'm getting married to you!" I screamed at him , a tear escaping my eye.

I can't help but cry because I don't know what else to do

I'm so angry but the anger becomes sadness as soon as I'm angry.

"And I'll give you your time to understand but you are wearing that ring now and you are not taking it off!" He argued back looking at me with furious eyes

"I haven't- I can't please.." I didn't know what to say as tears poured slowly from my eyes

I was such a crybaby and I wished so badly I could be strong enough to not cry but I couldn't help it

"Wear the ring Isabella and keep it on or else I will make sure I am with you every second of everyday from now onwards , you will sleep in my room and you will come work with me just so I can make sure your wearing it." He told me more seriously, he spoke like this actually had to happen

He wasn't gonna give up

"I think that's enough Leonardo come on" Alexander told us as Leonardo realised how scared I looked of him

"I'm sorry my love I'm so sorry I didn't-" Leonardo apologised over and over but I wasn't really listening

I was tired honestly

"I'll wear the ring, happy?!" I said because I know if I didn't now this night would happen repeatedly

I was playing this smart because I wasn't going to let this be like how it was when living with my parents

"Darling.." Leonardo tried to speak to me slowly letting go of my wrists and getting of off me

I grabbed the ring box and aggressively placed the ring on my finger

"Leonardo I think we should just leave her" Victor told his son and Leonardo stared at me with guilt clear on his face

He sighed but nodded

I realised Alexander and Victor were both at the door and I think they had been there for a little while too.

"Are you okay Isabella?" Alexander asked and I turned to him wiping my tears

"As if you care Alexander" I rolled my eyes really done with this shit for the day

Going to get my pyjamas on as everything of mine has been unpacked by the men who brought it up earlier

Safe to say it did not fill up even quarter of the closest.

No one was there when I walked back out to the room.

Once I was sorted I sat on the window seat that was near a window that looked over the most magnificent garden

Their garden was stunning.

I stared at the ring

Tears silently falling from my eyes

I was going to marry him , I had no choice.

I was finally realising it

No more denying, I let everything out now so I wouldn't have to again.

I'm going to be his wife.
