~Stella Ryder~

I slowly got out of bed, sliding on my fluffy white slippers and headed towards the bathroom. Yesterday I met Xavier's father, I honestly wasn't expecting that. But that's not the problem right now, the problem is that Isaiah is hosting a ball tonight for who knows what, and I don't have a dress.

I brushed my teeth before I went on a search for Xavier. It was 9 am but I still was very quiet. Heading out of my room I opened Xaviers office door, he wasn't in there. I made my way downstairs towards his bedroom. My god this house is a literal maze. Before I could make it to his door I was stopped by his father.

"Why hello there, Stella." He grinned while stopping me from walking. I ignored him, going around him but before I could walk any farther he stopped me again.

"You do not ignore me, do you know who I am?!" Isaiah was starting to get irritated and I really had no patience for this man, so I rolled my eyes.

Isaiah grabbed me by my chin, forcing me to look up to him.

"Actually I do know who you are, you are a irrelevant person to me." I grabbed his arm, trying to get his hand to release the grip on my face. Next thing I knew was that he slammed me into the wall, holding me by my neck.

"You fucking bitch! You have no right to talk to me like that. You will regret this." He growled, sending shivers throughout my body.

I heard a door open in the distance but all I could focus on was that I started to lose my airway.

"What the fuck?!" Xavier yelled as I turned my head over to him. Xavier came rushing over and ripped Isaiah off of me, sending him flying into the ground. The second his hand was released from my neck I fell straight to the ground, gasping for air.

"VINCENT." Xavier roared, A bedroom door slammed open and next thing I knew was that Vincent was running in our direction.

'What the hell happened here?!" He was trying to catch his breath. Suddenly, Xavier was now standing over his father, and started to punch him across the face as hard as he possibly could.

Xavier grabbed his father by his shirt and held him up. "Fucking touch her again and I swear to god I will have a bullet go straight through your heart." He punched him once more.

"Woah woah woah, okay there buddy, go take care of your girl." He winked while trying to force Xavier to let go of his fathers shirt.

I was still sitting on the ground, trying to process what just happened. Next thing I knew Xavier had made his way over to me, bent down and picked me up bridal style.

"I'm here, it's okay I got you now." He spoke in a calming voice.

I wrapped my hands around his neck as we were heading towards his room but he had stopped and lifted my chin up to see if any marks were left behind.

Usually I never get shocked by this kind of stuff, but this time I definitely think I was thrown off guard. I looked back to where Isaiah was and he was staring right at us, what a fucking creep? Xavier walked into his room, shut his door behind him and placed me down.

"I'm going to fucking kill him I swear." Xavier was pacing back and forth with his hands in his hair.

"Xavier look, I'm fine. But we might have an issue." A smile started to grow on my face. He stopped pacing and looked at me.
