Isabella POV:

"What?! What do you mean?" Stacey asked pulling me back so she could look right at me but her eyes weren't on me , they were on the door of the kitchen.

Her face dropped.

"No" she mumbled staring behind me with tears in her eyes

"Yes" summer mumbled looking at Stacey and me with painful eyes

Stacey grabbed my hands in a firm grip

"You can't just let this happen Izzy , your so strong, you have been through far to much to let them do this now!" Stacey tried to convince me seeming scared of what was behind me

"What other choice do I have?! Stacey even if someway I did get them off my back , my parents would still be here-" I explained to her with a firm tone

She knew what I meant.

"And we all know how that would end." She interrupted me not looking at me still staring behind me with fearful eyes

I just nodded

"I'm sorry I have failed to protect you" she cried to me and I smiled at her , shaking my head

"You did not fail to protect me , I am only still here because of you stace." I hugged her but as I did she became tense

What is going on with her?

My question was quickly answered when firm hands placed themselves on my hips

Leonardo

I tensed up.

Stacey looked like she was going to punch him.

"When will I next see her?" She asked bravely staring up at him with determination

I almost smiled because of her determination

"It depends on how she behaves but I'm sure either way we'll be seeing you soon." Leonardo spoke pulling me so that I was pressed against his chest

I listened with a frustrated look on my face

Stacey just looked back at me

"I'll hopefully see you soon then , I love you iz" Stacey spoke with tears reappearing in her eyes

I sighed

"I love you stace"

She turned to summer

"I love you doll" she hugged summer staring at the others, who when I spun around also stood behind me next to Leonardo

Summer mumbled in Stacey's ears and Stacey nodded.

"Right we must be going" Killian told Stacey dragging summer away by the shoulders

I looked at Stacey one last time as Leonardo dragged me out the room carefully because of my knee

I wanted to cry but I wouldn't give anymore satisfaction to my parents or the rest of them so I make sure to keep it together

"Me , ace , Alexander and Isabella will take this car and the rest of you take the other" Leonardo told the others pulling me with him to one car

I looked back at summer and she nodded at me reassuringly

I tried to keep a brave face on as Leonardo nudged me slightly to get in the car

I got in and shuffled to the end of the seats so I was right besides the car door

I stupidly looked back at the front door where my parents stood , both of them smirking at me.

I didn't take my eyes off them

I knew they hated me but damn it does hurt a little bit.

"Don't let them bother you , just look away" Ace told me looking at me and then my parents, I didn't want to say anything so I just look away

I stared out the window on my side so I wasn't looking at the front door.

The car started and as we drove off I watched how my parents smiled and walked inside together like this is what they've always been waiting for.

Like they've always wanted to marry me off to a psycho serial killer

What if they are planning to kill me?

What if he's worse than my parents?

What if I'll lose all my freedom?

What if...

That's the only thing I had in my head.

I was driving myself insane by doing it

My head was racing

This is my life now.

A tear ran down my cheek thinking about how I was stuck.

When even was the wedding happening?

I fidgeted with my bracelet

Not a word leaving my mouth.

Eventually we stopped outside a gigantic mansion

The door was opened for me so I wiped my tears and stepped out , still fidgeting with my bracelet

"Thank you" I mumbled to the man who opened my door for me

The man nodded at me , staring behind me fearfully and looking down at the ground

I turned around seeing Leonardo glaring at him.

Yep freedom gone.

I took a deep breath before looking up at the mansion

It was so big it might aswell be a castle.

Summer got out the other car and she looked very frustrated

"Summer come back!" Jakob yelled as she stormed off towards me , I was surprised to see her as I would have thought Jakob lived somewhere else

"I can't do it Izzy I'm gonna kill them." She mumbled in my ears as Jakob stormed towards us

He did not seem calm

Killian didn't either.

"Apologise to us!" Killian told her angrily and that just made summer angrier

"APOLOGISE TO YOU TWO?! YOUR THE ONES THAT HAVE KNOWN SHE WAS BEING MARRIED OFF SINCE YOU FUCKING MET HER" summer screamed making me turn to them confused because I didn't know that

They did?

"You did? That makes so much sense" I mumbled to myself realising all them silly little hints weren't so silly

I felt arms wrap around my waist

"Please don't right now-" I tried to resist him but that made him pull me closer

"Your going to be my wife I'd like to have my arms around you all the time if I could" Leonardo whispered in my ear tormenting me and a shiver went down my spine at his words

I'm going to be his wife.

I didn't want to speak to him anymore so I just sighed and looked back at summer, who was glaring straight at Leonardo

I tapped her hand to get her attention and when she looked up at me I shook my head

She got what I meant , sighing but looking back at her brother with a glare instead

Her glaring at him will do nothing except probably make this worse.

"Just so you both know , Jakob and summer will be staying with us for awhile maybe even permanently so that you both settle better but the moment you both do something stupid, you stop seeing eachother." Victor explained hopping out of the car summer was in

Thats why she's here

What liars!

She was here so that we'd both behave not because they want us to 'settle better'.

I almost rolled my eyes

Summer seemed to think the same as me turning to me with a look that said 'really?! Do they think we're dumb!?'

"Are we going inside?" Alexander asked beginning to walk over to the large front door that made the house look even more fancy

Leonardo started walking with me still in his arms so really he was dragging me to the front door

A man with a gun and many blades in his belt opened the door for us

Walking in felt like it was the beginning of the end.

Guards with guns and blades stood in every corner

Maids rushed past looking scared for me or themselves, I wasn't sure but they looked petrified either way.

Some men walked in with my things

Alexander once again was being weird and wouldn't take his eyes off me

I was taking mental notes of any cameras, locks and where the guards all stood

5 camera's in the front hallway alone.

They must have some big threats because they sure as hell take a lot of precautions to protect this place

This is gonna be hard to run from.

I am never gonna escape.

Leonardo stopped walking as we reached a room , opening the door and it was the living room

"sit down" he told me letting go of my waist and I do as told because I'm not gonna stand around

Summer sat besides me with a huff

"We have to discuss somethings , okay?" Jakob told us and I did not want to 'discuss' anything but they'll tell me no matter what

So both me and summer nodded.

"Right so firstly don't try running it's useless, our security is top notch" Ace started staring at me directly

I believe he noticed me scoping things out.

"Secondly don't argue, I have a very short temper and I don't want to yell at you" Leonardo said and even though it was for summer aswell he made it clear he meant me especially

That's gonna be tricky

"Thirdly don't speak to any other man in this house unless it's one of us or we've given permission for you to do so" Killian spoke and this rule just pissed me off

They might as well scrap that because it's gonna be broken

It's clearly because he doesn't want summer talking to other men and Leonardo doesn't want me talking to any other men either.

Insecure I'd say

"I believe that's all other than that, just don't test our patience" Victor spoke clearly bored of this conversation

Me too victor, me too.

Me and summer just looked at eachother but nodded agreeing to their stupid rules even though we'd probably end up breaking every single one

I am not gonna let them treat me the way my parents did.

"Now sleeping arrangements, Isabella eventually you will sleep with me in my bed but so that you can settle in first your sleeping in the room connected to mine" Leonardo explained next and my face dropped at the thought of sharing a bed with him

"Right" I mumbled in reply, I'll just drag the sleeping in the connected room to his as much as I can

He smirked at my reaction to his words

Fuck him.

"Now summer you'll sleep in the room between mine and Killian's , it's across the hall from where Isabella's bed room is" Jakob told summer and she rolled her eyes

She was lucky she knew she wouldn't be killed because it's her brother

"What a coincidence" she muttered making me turn to her with a small smile because even when the moods low she can light up a room

Even after I've found out I've been married off to a serial killer/mafia boss/ psychopath.

So many names I could come up with for this moron.

It's been a long day, I'm just rambling now.

"Don't start summer" Killian told her and she gave him a death stare but kept her mouth shut for the sake of us both

Summer was quite a confident girl , she didn't oftenly get scared so her listening to them says alot

"Right let's go show you both your bedrooms so we can all get settled because it's getting late" Alexander spoke and I didn't get up immediately which lead to Leonardo 'helping' me up

Here we go , let's go see my cage for the rest of my life.
