But unfortunately she was raped few weeks to her marriage, leading to her conceiving the seed of her worse nightmare. She was abandoned at the altar by Xavier which led to her almost taking her life, But ended up being saved by Drake her Knight In the face of her misfortune, Drake proposed a marriage contract to her. Having accepted Drake's Contract marriage, the truth about her misfortunes started unraveling, leading to disruptions in her life with Drake, and Xavier coming back to the picture. Now Isabella is left with the choice of staying with her Knight or getting back with her Billionaire ex lover... "I want you back ISA".
Chapter 1 (He dumped me)
"Do you take this woman to be your lawfully wedded wife?" the pastor officiating us ask Xavier, He looked at me and back to the pastor and mouthed "No"
I felt my heart beating rapidly,he promised me forever right?, maybe he heard wrong, his next statement broke the camel back
"I'm sorry Isa" as he fondly calls me....."I can't father another man's child" he whispered to me.
That's it, the tears I've been trying to hold finally ran down like rain pour. I desperately held his hands "But you promise to stay, You promise to love me still" I cried uncontrollably not minding the crowd watching us.
"Let go of my hands" Xavier said, dropping my hands,he turned and walked out of the church.
I turned and looked at the crowd, the paparazzi taking pictures, Xavier's mom smiling triumphantly (of course she always hated me), and my best friend looking at me pitifully. Xavier is from an influential family, his family has always been against us, cause I'm nothing but a poor pauper who only has my mom and my job as a waitress.
I dreamt too big, what made me think I can get into the Gustavo family?. But Xavier loves me,he stood with me against his family. This unwanted bastard growing in my tummy ruined everything.
"Xavier!" I screamed running after him with my wedding dress rubbing the floor along with me, I'm not going to let go of him.
I ran out to see his car already gone, but I kept running to an unknown direction like a raven mad woman, I stumped on a stone and fell down.
It's time to end it. I said when I saw the bridge ahead of me, I can't live without Xavier and the humiliation is too much.
" Goodbye world" I screamed before jumping off the rails,with my wedding gown flowing magically in the water.
I smiled widely when I felt the cold water on my skin while sinking deeply into the sea, finally I'm leaving this unfair world.
My happiness was cut short when I felt a strong Arm, grab my hands firmly dragging me out of the cold sea.
" What's wrong with you young lady, why do you want to commit suicide ? Says a strong masculine voice.
My eyes were so teary I couldn't see the face of the person speaking. I kicked off his hands and tried getting back to the sea, but he grabbed me by the waist,holding me tightly to his chest.
"Let me go, I want to die, my life is ruined, I want to get rid of this bastard I'm carrying"I cried pathetically, with snot coming out of my nose.
"Have you lost your mind?Huh!" the same voice yelled at me, breathing heavily. I tried opening my eyes but was too weak to do so my eyelids closed and gave in to darkness.

Nothing can be compared to the panic he just had for the last few minutes..
Since he got to life, he had never run as fast as he did just now to stop her from drowning.
I stared at her in my arms,I could see the pains in her unconscious face. "I'm sorry" I whisper, though she can't hear me, the guilt in my heart is eating me deeply.
He carried her up to his car and drove her home.
You might be wondering who I am to her? Absolutely nobody to her, just a stranger who has been keeping a close eye on her for the past few weeks, and yes you can call me a stalker, I don't give a fuck.
I got to her house to meet her mom and her best friend pacing up and down with worried looks on their faces.
"What did you do to her? What happened to her and why is she wet?! Who are you ?
They throw questions at me.
"Let's get her in first ,she needs to be keep warm"I replied
"Come in please,drop her on the couch" Isabella's mother said.
I told her, how I found and saved her daughter from committing suicide, and she deeply appreciated me.
" Who are you? " I heard that voice, like a sweet melody to my ears. I turned to the coach I dropped her earlier, staring deeply into her ocean blue eyes.Her eyes are so captivating that I forgot she just asked a question.
" Xavier" she whispers softly, closing her eyes again. I sigh, of course I know she was dumped by her fiance. I was there at the church and followed her when she ran off to the bridge.
I picked my car key and drove home, I just couldn't stand seeing her hurtful face anymore.
THE GUSTAVO FAMILY HOUSE
"Did I do the right thing?" I asked myself, staring at my reflection in the mirror.
"I love Isabella,but I just can't father a bastard child, I'm going to take over the Gustavo family heritage as the only heir,I can't have my reputation being stained" soliloquize silently.
" You did the right thing Xavier" I heard my mom's voice from behind.
"But mom Isa didn't cheat on me, she was just a victim of circumstances, she was raped! I said fummiñg
" I know Xavier, but we are talking about your dad's legacy here, you can't let your love for that girl ruin everything.. come here son" she pulled me to her chest rubbing my head to calm me down.
" I'm fine mom, you can go now I want to be alone" I said , she smiled at me and walked out.
I picked up my phone to call Damian ( my assistant) , he knows what I need now to calm myself.
" Hello Damian, send her in " I hung up and saw a notification on my phone, the bloody bloggers at it again, the event of what happened is all over the internet, of course I was expecting it.
I was about to go offline before a particular picture caught my eyes, with a heading...
""The Gustavo Abandoned bride found a groom, her knight."" with a picture of Isa being carried by a strange man attached to it.

Xavier was so enraged he smacked his phone against the wall. His eyes are bloody Red.
The door to his room opened and a blonde lady walked in, her cleavage all out in her short gown.
"Kneel and strip Isa " Xavier muttered.
