Isabella's POV
I wish that I had never been brought to this world. Who would want to spend a happy 16 years of life, and then be drowned in an ocean of sadness for the rest. Why live in a world of dismay and riot? Why not in a world where strong bonds of love and friendship were never broken, and a sad expression was never seen? But this is life. It may not be what you want or expected, but it is your life, and you need to travel through it to get to the end.
16 year old Isabella loses her mother, finds a spell, and gets trapped inside an enchanted painting. She faces many problems within it, but was it better than going back home? Would life in the painting be better than facing her issues out with the soft canvas and old, dry paint?

It was gentle and soft, something I never expected from a guy like him. He moved his right hand from my cheek to my waist, tugging me against him, and molded our bodies together. A wave of electricity went down to my core when he licked my lips. "Open your mouth, Bella." His commanding husky voice against my lips jolted my heart, and I followed his order like a slave. With no control, a moan erupted from my throat as his tongue met mine. It was barely audible, but I knew he heard it when he smiled against my lips. He swept my hair from my face to my back and gathered them in his fist. He tugged my head back, deepening the kiss, and my heart thrashed in my chest. At that moment, I didn't need drugs to know what being high felt like because his lips were enough to send me on nine clouds. Just once and I was addicted to it. If this is how being kissed feels like, then fuck, I've wasted a lot of time. ~^~^~^~ FEATURED ON: @Romance (Romantic Suspense) HIGHEST RANKINGS: #1 Goodgirl, Darkpast #2 Badboy #5 NewaduComplete
