Isabela pov

I feel his cold gun pressed against my temple,his freezing hand around my neck squeezing lightly but enough to make my panic rise.

"You're not going anywhere"He says,his voice unrecognizable,cold and stern.

"Are you sick in the head? Let her go!"Austin raises his voice at him.

"It's okay, Austin"I say grabbing, Richardo's hand.

"Come on, squeeze harder,kill me but I'm not taking back what I said".

"You're mine and you're staying right by my side,I don't care"He whispers in my ear making me shiver.

"Richardo I-"He cuts me off.

"No, Isabella listen to me-".

"No,you listen, you're not the boss of me, I'm done,how do you expect me to react? Do you expect me to giggle and smile after finding out I was a bet?".

"No, I'm expecting you to listen...Austin get out!".

"What? No, I'm not going anywhere until you let her go".

"Austin, it's okay, I'll be fine"I say,my head leaning on Richardo's chest and my eyes watery.

He hesitates but after a few minutes I hear the door opening then closing.

My heart hammers in my chest and a lump forms in my throat.

"Richardo, you're hurting me"I pull his hand away and surprisingly he let's me go, I turn to him looking into his eyes.

"What's with you? Why did you do this? Look at the bruise on my neck Richardo,look what you did"He looks at my neck and then my eyes again.

"I... I'm so sorry,I don't know what came over me, that was the only way to stop your from leaving"He says,his face full of regret.

"By doing this? By hurting me? Richardo, I'm here only for a year then I'm taking my money and I'm leaving...You can enjoy your bets then".

"I'm not letting you go, you're the only thing keeping me sane,I  love you more than anything,I would leave everyone for you in a heartbeat".

"I don't want you to do that,just...Leave me alone"I say,my eyes full of tears.

I feel like my heart is breaking, I just want him to hug me and never let me go, I wish I never saw that contract, I would rather live like that then like this.

He throws his gun on the floor and walks over to his couch taking a seat,his gaze focused on the wall.

"I messed it up again,I had the best thing in my life and I ruined it up"He says gripping his hair, leaning back on his couch.

The amount of pain and anger I'm feeling right now is overwhelming,I don't want to see him sad,it breaks me on the inside but he already broke me without giving it a second thought.

"You can slap me, punch me,scream at me but I'm begging you don't leave me, I never begged for anything but I'd do it if it means you'll stay".
