Isabella's POV
“Don’t touch me” he does not even budge.
“I said don’t touch me” I warned him. My heart beat increasing as I fell his presence and touch envelop my senses.
I gasped when I feel his breath on my lips. I startled struggling when he caged me in between him and the wall.
“You like him touching, don’t you?” his cold words brought a shiver down my spine.
“You don’t know what you are saying” I snapped at him. His eyes darkened as I pushed him away. He tightens his hold on my wrist.
“You are hurting me” I whispered but his anger was nowhere simmering down. I don’t know why but I was having a bad feeling about this.
“This is where he touched you right” he sniffs my neck
“Move away Maxwell. This is not right” I tried to walk past him but he definitely had different idea as he pulled me back with a force. I once again collided with the wall.
Right now, we are in his room.
“You dare tell me what is right and what is wrong” he bangs the wall beside me. I jump in fright. I tried to put on a brave face as I tried to get out of this situation.
“He was not doing something which is not acceptable” I reply haughtily.
“I will show you what is right” he murmured darkly. My eyes widened when he placed one hand on my neck and pulled me closer.
“Leave me. Someone might walk in on us” I started struggling and moving back but his touch and sense was making me lose my focus.
“I don’t care” he snapped at me as he pulled me flush against him.
“What are you doing?” I moved my face away.
“I am showing you what belongs to me, stays with me” his possessive tone made me all the mere confused.
Maxwell leaned closer and takes a whiff of my scent.
“Maxwell, I” he moved his body almost instantly away from my person when my sister Nina walks in.
“Leave me Isabella. What are you doing?” I snapped my head in shock towards Max.
Before I could say anything, Nina pulls Maxwell away from me “how could you?”
With that she stalks out of the room.
“Nina, listen to me. You are mistaken” I tried to stop her as she walks down the corridor and downstairs. I was scared as I followed her.
“What is going on?” asks mom as Nina hugs her and starts crying.
“Nina what happened?” dad also tries to comfort her.
“Dad, Isabella was trying to seduce Maxwell in his room. I caught her red handed” she whispers.
“No Nina it was not what it looked like. It was the other way around” I tried to explain to her as I pulled at her hand.
The sound of palm connecting a cheek resonated in my ears. With the burning sensation that I felt, I realized that I have been slapped. Tears formed in my eyes. I turned my head and came to realize it was mom.
“How could you do that to your sister?” she snaps at me. Dad also looked disappointed.
“No dad, mom. It was Maxwell who held me in his room”
“Stop putting the blame on him. We all know your liking towards him” mom scolded me.
“Mom please hear me out” I started crying.
“That’s enough. Go to your room” dad orders without even hearing me out.
“But dad, I did not do it” I said whatever I could.
“I never wanted you to possess your biological mom’s bad traits. But looks likes that is not the case” his words shattered whatever hope I had to get out of this situation.
I turned to Maxwell. He looked away instead of telling the truth. He was ready make me the culprit.
“Fine have it your way. I was better off without you” my temper got the best out of me as I snapped at dad.
“How ungrateful” I hear the maids muttering as I storm out of there.
Hearing those words made me feel as if I don’t belong here. These people are not mine. Feeling out of place, I stormed out of the castle as I wanted some peace.
