Chapter 76

Isabella's POV

If you are able to sleep with your two eyes closed, that's a blessing and let those who have peace, cherish it.

Andreas gently shook me awake in the middle of the night and by the look on his face, I could tell that something was amiss.

"What is it?"I asked him as I quickly sat up.

"I believe that Phillip and his men are on their way here as we speak" He answered.

"Why wouldn't that brother of yours just leave you alone?" I muttered but Andreas didn't respond. "What do we do now?" I asked.

"I can handle them" he said confidently. "But I want you to stay in here."

"How can I...?"

"Please, Isabella" he pleaded with a pained expression. "I can't be distracted by your presence out there."
