Jasper codds gave Isabelle a bear hug "I'm so happy for you, can I ask you for a favour?"Isabelle nod " If Nikki ask about this gorgeous wedding gown don't tell her"Jasper wink,Nikki pout Sasha and Isabelle burst into laughter.

"She knows her soon to be daughter in law is a fashionista" Isabelle kiss Nikki cheek " Uncle didn't get the words right, you already know the details" Nikki laugh " I'm so happy you guys are all here, thank you"

"Awwn so sweet"Nikki tuck her black behind her hair.

" Mom, the two are supposed to be married already"Micah drag Isabelle away " You can continue the meeting when she's a mack"

Isabelle pinch him, he groan letting of her but making sure she's working towards Xander.

"I'm thinking of sending Jamie to the states"Isabelle inform him.

"Why? she's fine here with us...."

"Then how the hell did she end up in the police custody,I protected my sister myself all this year's without anyone support,I stayed up late at night watching her but you with maximum security she still got arrested"Isabelle kept her voice low though her anger on the brink.

"I'm sorry it's...." Isabelle cut in.

"I'm disappointed Micah,If it'd been Xander u wouldn't have said anything because we all know how that man minds work but not you,I expected so much from you"Micah palm his face in shame.

"I'm sorry, That's all I can say and I hope you forgive me"

"What Happened last night?In the mack securities?"Isabelle sudden question made Xander shake his head at Micah,Micah grunt nodding back, Isabelle brow knitted "Tell me"

Hoping she didn't notice their exchange Micah decided to go with the lie as Xander suggested "Nothing much,the man who's responsible for your current condition is in..."

" I know all that, Micah who did you think planted the drugs in the house?"Isabelle questioned her eyes not leaving his.

Xander cleared his throat "We need to get married Isabelle"Isabelle look at Micah one last time before stopping to the desk. "No matter what happens don't ever mention the killer and tell jamie not to"Xander whisper.

" I won't now shoo, hashtag weirdest couple"Micah chuckle lightly. " She's upset though"

" I can deal with that" Xander followed Isabelle in.

"Welcome to the embassy" The middle age officer greet them,standing up with a smile plastered on his face.

Xander look around the office,he sigh in relief noting the officer had cleared the office as per instructed.

"I'll ask you some questions before you sign the papers"The consul said looking at the two after the formalities had been done and he was seated.

"No questions,just bring the damn papers" Xander snap.

"Xander"Rick mack shout,Xander fake a smile, "Go on"

"it's the formalities sir" The consul said,Xander beam wryly, Isabelle subconsciously roll her eyes.

She was tired as hell,her head was pounding bit who was she to complain. "Do you love each other?" The question sent the both of them into a frenzy state.

"Of course not"

"No" The two answered together.

The consul look up in confusion. "Are any of you being forced into this marriage?"

" No"

" No"

The consul raise his brow " I don't understand,you guys don't love each other and..."

"I say no to yes"Xander blurted realizing he'd made a mistake.

"So that means you two are been forced?"

"No sir,Xander as some weird illness and though I love him so much..oh you've no idea but my heart ache to tell you this my fiance as some problems,I hope you understand"

"..." Xander blink,opening his mouth to talk but swallowing it back,the others as the same Express,Sasha and Jamie cover their mouth to stop themselves from giggling.

The consul despite already heading about Xander and knowing how wealthy and cruel he's,he couldn't help but sigh in pity.

"I'm so sorry,for delaying this,you two can sign" he hand them the papers.

After the ceremonies,Xander could finally breath in relief,the consul happily look at them both "Xander Mack and Isabelle mack I now pronounce you husband and wife, the court will be sending you the full documents,you may now... "

" We're skipping that"For her sanity Isabelle quickly cut in.

"Why? continue sir?" Xander smirk.

"You may kiss the bride"

Isabelle gulp, Xander reach out cupping her face. "I'm ill honey, don't complain later"

"I said that to...." Her words died in her throat as his mouth came down on hard to claim her lips,the thrust if his tongue parted her lips,his tongue sank into the sweet welcoming of her mouth.

Savoring it,he bite her lips to the point she almost bled from it,he stop his lips resting in the corner of her lips,and giving it feathery strokes.

"You're a brute husband" She force a smile.

"Unfortunately yours only wife" He sneer facing the consul "Can we..."

" Congratulations"The consul shake him in the hand.

"Thanks" Xander mumble.

"Congrats" Everyone clap,hugging the couple.

" I can't tell you joyful I'm to witness this day"Nikki kiss her cheeks and poke xander "Don't make her cry"

" As long as she cooperates she won't"He reply hugging his dad " Hi dad"

"Don't make her cry, Xander if you do I'll forever regret having you as a son"

"You won't,I won't make her cry if she doesn't frustrate me" Rick mack sigh. " I love you Dad"

Isabelle hug Rick mack " Hi ya, I'm good I told you"

"Yes you did,Take care of yourself,always remember I'm here, always for you,this is going to be tough,I know my son but don't forget who you're and Don't jeopardize your future"

" I won't"Isabelle grin " Never"

" When things are hard don't forget to call"Isabelle nod.

Xander open the car door stepping away for her to go in, Isabelle frown having a bad premonition all of a sudden,she glance back and gasp,the figure she saw disappeared from sight.

"I'll never let you go,not ever" The man in the mask crouch beside her "You're mine to you with until you tell me what'd happened to Debra mack,no peace no happily ever after"

Isabelle hand tremble,Xander touch her shoulder.

" Are you okay?"

"Xander, let's leave this place"Her voice sound urgent as she sent into the car, Xander look at where she was staring at earlier,he saw a shadow move.

Startled he crane his head and the protective instinct resurface,he bring out his phone hurriedly typing a message.

"Meet us at the house"He send.

Isabelle step out of the car,her mouth dropping in amazement as she stare at the penthouse they were going to be living,two men help with their bags, Xander stop them to introduce them.

"This are your personal guards from today on,Robin and Jerry" Xander said, Isabelle nod smiling at them.

" Hi madam"

"Nice to meet you guys" Xander pull her into the elevator,telling her the passcode."Why the death date?"

"it's engraved in my heart,my mom died and I'll never forget that"The step into the living room."The chef is gonna be here tomorrow,the maids only come here three days a week"

"Wow,I love the evergreen decorations,wow the apricot shaped chair"She caress it,sitting on the ball chair,she scan the whole living room for a penthouse it's huge and bright,a piano by the side of the window,the chandelier on top showed neon lights.

There was pictures of him displayed on the wall,four of his mom and a portrait of her smiling in a bikini, Isabelle gasp pointing at it.

"I remember" Xander hand her a glass of water "He took your pictures and I accepted the portrait"

" It's lovely, where's Evans now,that guy is an ingrate divorcing his wife after I left"

" Some relationship don't work out the way it should Isabelle"He bring out some files, Isabelle squint her face.

" What's that?" Isabelle take it,she open it and her smile drop.

"The rules" Xander said coldly, suddenly back to the old self. " The rules you need to follow"

"Are you crazy or something?"

"Read it, I'm giving you four hours to go through this,go to the kitchen when you're done,the chef made something"he stood up.

"Xander"She called angrily but he was gone to hear her "Gosh" she stare skeptically at the contract,she skip to the first rule.
