After the Secret Wedding Rise of My Queen

Chapter 255 Confrontation, Anger, Misunderstanding Resolved

Isabel was furious-beyond furious. She had never felt this level of anger before.

The feeling of being doubted, of not being trusted those were the things she despised the most.

She raised her hand and yanked the emerald guardian angel pendant off her neck.

"Here! Take it! I don't want it anymore! From now on, there's nothing-absolutely nothing-between us!"

The words had barely left her lips when Xander froze completely.

After a brief moment of silence, he slowly lifted his head and looked at Isabel.

Her face was blazing with rage, her eyes burning with a fury that was as intense as it was unmistakable. Anger poured from her gaze, so much so that it bordered on hatred.

Seeing the look on her face, something rare happened-Xander panicked. A surge of fear swept through him, his chest tightening with dread.

Isabel's chest heaved violently as her anger boiled over.

"I'm packing my things right now and leaving. Don't come looking for me. You won't find me!"

Hearing her cold, final words, Xander's eyes went blank for a moment. Then, realizing what was happening, he suddenly grabbed Isabel and pulled her into his arms, holding her tightly, his arms locking around her waist.

He knew it wouldn't change anything, but at least for now, Isabel was in his grasp, unable to leave.

"Let go!" Isabel shouted, struggling hard, pushing against Xander's shoulders with all her strength. "You're not leaving," Xander said in a low, commanding tone that left no room for argument.

"I am leaving! Let me go!" Isabel shouted again, shoving him even harder.

The more Isabel fought, the tighter Xander's grip became.

Her relentless pushing left his shoulders red, but Xander still didn't loosen his hold, not even a little.

After several attempts, Isabel's frustration peaked. Her face flushed from the effort and fury, and when she realized she couldn't break free, she snapped. In a fit of anger, she leaned forward and bit down on Xander's shoulder. "Mm-hmm-"Xander let out a muffled groan of pain, and then ... nothing.

He still wasn't letting go?
