Isabella's POV:

"Where's summer!?"

Killian sighed at my interruption

"She's in the room next to this room, she's-" Alexander tried to explain to me some more but I knew what I needed to know so I got out of the bed

My leg still ached and any bruises that weren't covered by my clothes were on show but luckily now I could blame it on the past two days

They had stitched up my leg I realised as I attempted to balance properly.

Leonardo managed to get a grip on me helping me balance

"Don't touch me!" I tried to get him away from me but he didn't move lifting me off of my feet

I gasped

"What are you doing!? You have to rest!" He scolded me but I just wanted to see summer

"Let me down I want to see summer!" I moved in his arms and he smirked shaking his head

I kicked the best I could but he had a firm grip on me making it tricky to move about.

"Will you behave if we let you see her?" Ace asked with raised eyebrows as I continued to struggle in Leonardos arm's

I thought for a moment

"If I have to just let me see her." I told him and at my answer I expected to be placed back on the ground but Leonardo started moving out of the room

With me still in his arms.

"Why can't I walk to her room?" I asked shyly staring at him with an annoyed look

"You hurt your leg , your not allowed too." He informed making me scrunch my eyebrows at him

I was going to argue further but we were now at summers door.

Killian unlocked the door and we all stepped in one by one

Revealing summer who was sat going through all the draws

"What on eart-" Jakob said seeing what she was doing but before he could finish summer spun around

"IZZY!?" She screamed running towards Leonardo who STILL was holding me

I smiled at her brightly

"Can you-uh..?" I stuttered noticing how close Leonardo's face was too mine

He nodded and placed me down but not before staring at me for a good minute

The moment my feet reached the ground I hugged summer, filled with joy because she was okay and we both made it home

"We made it." Summer sighed in relief knowing we were both okay and we survived

We both pulled back from the hug and looked back at the others

"You both might want showers?" Killian said not taking his eyes off summer and we both turned to eachother agreeing we definitely did

"Okay afterwards come downstairs and eat , your parents are home now and they want to have dinner." Victor told us and I found that suspicious

My parents want us down for dinner?

They never wanna see me.

I always have to eat alone unless we have serious company

We both nodded nevertheless and I made my way back to my room but not before Leonardo picked me up and brought me back there himself.

----after they both showered----

I was finally done and I think that was the best shower of my life

I was now heading outside my room to see if summer was still up here and as if rehearsed she was leaving her room just as I got there

"Hey" I spoke softly knowing we were both still very confused about everything

"Hey" she said awkwardly as we both prepared ourselves to face everyone downstairs

My parents are going to murder me later.

We both walked down the long glass and modern stairs

It was clear we were both nervous

"They're gonna kill you and me!" Summer whisper yelled as we got to the end of the stairs and outside the dining room

"They're my parents they won't kill you but they will kill me!" I agrued with her trying to convince her to go in first because I was shitting myself

She gave me a frustrated look before taking a deep breath and turning the handle

She walked in and I followed

Silence.

That's all that could be heard

My heart pounded like a hurricane in my chest as my parents looked at me well more glared at me and I have never seen them this angry

Summer took the seat besides Killian and Jakob because it was furthest from my parents

Sticking her tongue out at me sneakily

Leaving me the seat in-between Leonardo and Alexander

Alexander was beside my mother, who was beside my father.

Great.

I walked over to the seat with an annoyed look on my face but I attempted to be polite because if I behave here

They might take it easier on me later.

So I sit up straight and take a deep breath, ready for them to yell at me

"I can't believe you, your lucky we have company." My mother spat at me furiously making me gulp

Yeah I'm fucked.

Surprisingly my father didn't say anything seeming quite smug about something

I'm scared.

They didn't say anything more , they both just stayed silent as food was brought in

My plate was quite large but I was starving I hadn't eaten in two days and I think I'd pass away if I went any longer so I didn't mind

"Eat all of it , you haven't eaten in days." Leonardo whispered in my ear in a demanding tone.

I nodded because honestly I could eat double this

I dug in and everyone just ate in silence

"After we've eaten we've got something to tell you , we were going to wait longer but due to recent events we changed our mind" my father finally spoke up as I looked at him and then summer with a curious look

I have a bad feeling.

Leonardos hand once again inches from my thigh

I just nodded keeping my eyes on summer as my thoughts ran wild

"Are they gonna kill you?" Summer mouthed to me not helping me keep calm one bit

I bloody hope not

I gave her a horrified look

"None of us are gonna kill you" Ace whispered in my ear clearly noticing what summer mouthed to me

I nearly choked on my food at his words

"Good to hear." Is what I replied in the most quiet tone ever

Good to hear?

Are you having a giggle Izzy!?

He smirked at my reply.

I finished my food just about because surprisingly I was full

I think it's because I'm not used to big portions

I looked up realising everyone else was done , which meant they were gonna tell me whatever it was that they needed to tell me

My heart raced as they all turned to me

My father looked right at me with a large grin on his face and a sick feeling in my stomach made itself known

Leonardo's hand on my thigh now

I tried to push it away but he wouldn't let me and I was about to say something when I heard some banging around behind us

I turned around and two men holding bags

Bags filled with my stuff.

My heart dropped.

"What are you doing?" I asked confused as I started coming up with guess of what might be happening in my head

"Is that all her stuff?" Alexander asked from across me making me look at him instead with a questionable look

I didn't understand

"What are you all going on about?" I asked more sternly this time looking back at my father for answers

And oh he answered.

"Isabella you will be marrying Leonardo and moving in with him tonight." My father spoke like it was nothing, like he was simply getting rid of some old things

My heart sunk.

I felt sick.

I was frozen to my spot as everything felt like it was moving in slow-mo.

"SHE WHAT?!" Summer screamed spitting out her water as she spoke staring at my father in anger

"You can't-" summer tried to defend me some more as I sat there not able to move or speak

It's like my body couldn't keep up.

"Summer you'll be moving in with me." Jakob said and that's when she finally looked straight at me like she was waiting for my reaction to everything

I couldn't do anything

My breathing had increased

My vision blurred.

I felt Leonardo's stare on me but I couldn't react

I didn't know what to do.

"I did everything you said though." These were the first words that finally left my mouth

"I'm not letting you do this to her , I won't move in with you and surely you should know that." Summer agrued once more trying to stand up but Killian pulled her down back into her seat

I couldn't see straight

"You both have no choice." Victor spoke making us both look at him

"I'm sorry , I'm sorry I shouldn't have run off , I'll listen now just please don't do this" I begged my parents staring at them like this was the only thing I'd ever ask for

It was.

"I think it's time you go." My father smiled with a amusement as he spoke and I hated it

"You find way to much pleasure in this! Your a fucking awful man and any sane person can see that!" I screamed at him as tears fell from my eyes

I hated him.

I hated them.

I could have killed them in that moment

"Goodbye Isabella." My mother stated. my father was just looking at me in shock because I've never yelled at him before

"Same for you , you are no mother of mine! Yo-" I cried out but Leonardo cut me off by grabbing my arm

My head was spinning but I still tried to fight him off

"Let go of me. I am not going anywhere with you!" I screamed at him with tears flushing down my face

Summer was trying to fight off her brother too

"Get up now or I'll carry you to the car and drug you" Leonardo threatened realising I wasn't given up my fight

I stared at him with hurt

"Fine." I muttered giving up because he wasn't going too

"Fine?" Summer stopped fighting her brother for a second looking at me confused

I just gave her a hurt look, feeling stupid but I wasn't going to sit here and scream when I know even if they did somehow not take me

I'd still be left in this house with my sick parents

I have no good way out.

Leonardo looked at me concerned on why I gave in so quickly

"Let me say bye to Stacey" I told him and he squinted his eyes slightly confused on who Stacey was

"Who's Stacey?" Killian asked as I stared at my hands fidgeting unable to process what was happening

I felt stupid but I think this was the best way to do it.

"A maid" I mumbled weakly and they all looked at me weirdly

Summer shoved her brother away and ran over to me , taking my hand and reassuring me that she was with me

"Yes you can." Alexander made the final call so I immediately ran out of the room , summer running not far behind me

My leg killed and I almost thought I ruined the stitches but I pushed through

I made it to the kitchen and instantly my eyes landed on Stacey

"Oh my god. Girls I've been so worrie-", Stacey cried out the moment she saw us but I cut her off by hugging her

"They finally did it Stace" I cried into her shoulder

They went through with it this time.
