Isabella POV I walked alongside Justin, accompanied by my two personal bodyguards. The photography studio was located at a bustling Mall in the city. Looking around, I noticed the studio was humming with activity and workers were diligently focused on their tasks. We quietly reached a different section of the building within seconds. A guy opened a wooden door and we stepped into the room, revealing the main studio. The space was filled with an array of professional equipment, from cameras and lighting setups to a variety of backdrops. There, I spotted a man sitting on a stool, meticulously fixing a camera in his hands, positioned before a gallery wall. The guy greeted the man, "Mr. Paul, they have arrived." Mr. Paul, a man with an artistic style and shoulder-length blonde hair, caught my attention as he stood up and approached us with a smile. While Justin and the others gathered around him, engaging in a conversation, I remained rooted to the spot, taking in the aesthetic s
Isabella POVFinally, the weekend has arrived and today I am scheduled to meet Justin's relatives, the Martínez family. Through various media and magazines that my father often brings home, I've seen the Martínez family featured in them quite often.They always look so perfect and flawless as if they have this picture perfect life that everyone dreams of. So, I'm keeping my hopes up that Justin's family will be different from him; perhaps less arrogant at least. I haven't actually spoken to Justin since the photoshoot though we live in the same house, but I have noticed that he tends to be cooped up in his study room and hardly ever around. As for me, I find myself engrossed in the enchanting world of books, spending most of my time in my bedroom and exploring the vast collections within the mansion.I casually made my way downstairs in my light blue waffle knit lounge set and comfy slippers, my attention fixated on a paperback cookbook. As I stood in the lobby, I caught snippets
Isabella POV As Justin pulled up by the estate, we approached a set of sleek, modern entry gates. The guard warmly greeted Justin at the driver's window and opened the gates for us. We drove through the gates and I admired the meticulously manicured lawns on both sides of the driveway. Finally, he parked the car in front of the lovely mansion. My eyes briefly wandered to the circular themed flower bed garden in the center of the driveway. I looked at the entrance of the mansion while the front doors gracefully opened."Wife, are you planning on staying in the car forever?" I heard Justin ask, standing on the outside.I took a deep breath and stepped out of the car, closing the door behind me as I looked around, taking in the surroundings.Glancing at Justin, I saw him opening the trunk and he started to unload the suitcases from the car."Justin, my dear son, you made it!" A sophisticated lady approached us, gracefully descending the steps of the floral-designed front porch. She
Isabella POV"Isabella, perfect timing." I encountered Miss Sonia as I came down the staircase in my casual evening dress and sandals with my hair combed in a high ponytail."Assist me in the kitchen, if you may." She added as she walked away in a direction and I quietly followed her until I found myself in a kitchen.I looked around as she carefully placed the utensils on the marbled counter before heading over to the oven with a pair of mittens."Did you get enough rest?" I heard her asking as I took up the utensils from the counter while she looked in the oven.I nodded, knowing Justin was too busy with his work to provoke my slumber."You can bring those to the dining room." She told me and I nodded while she quickly added, "It's the right turn on the left." I exited the kitchen with the utensils, following her directions and I ended up in the dining room. The twins were seated at the dining table, engaging in a conversation about soccer. As I placed the utensils at the respecti
Isabella POVI was awoken by the knocking on the door and I opened my eyes to realize it was actually morning. I slightly stretched my body as I looked over at Justin sitting up on the bed. "Someone's at the door." I told him as I stood up from the sofa and he nodded. I picked up the blanket and slowly moved over to the bed while he went towards the door, ruffling his hair. "Brooo, you're here." I heard a female voice when Justin opened the door. "Seriously, Stephanie?" Justin asked with a sigh and I ran a hand through my hair while listening. "Where's your wife, I wanna be introduced right now." I heard her demanding and Justin's eyes met mine as he continued to stand at the door. "She will be downstairs soon." Justin told her and I heard her groaning before stomping away. "The brat wants to meet you." Justin told me while he closed the door and I raised an eyebrow. "Who's the brat?" I asked and he headed over to the closet, saying, "My youngest sister, Stephanie."I simply n
Isabella POV Then suddenly, I felt someone's presence inside the bedroom. I looked to my right and I saw Justin staring at us from the doorway. Then I was almost sure I caught him smiling before he cleared his throat while entering the bedroom."You had a baby for the day without telling me?" He asked and I slightly blushed while he removed his tie. "Well, I'm just babysitting her until Lisa comes back." I said as I returned my attention to Crystal while she started to practice her jumping skills on my lap. "I will be leaving for a business trip tonight." He informed me and I looked as he went towards the bathroom door. "I don't have to come with you, right?" I said, curiously. "Well, no you don't have to, I'm going to be quite busy with the new project since a fashion agent of mine couldn't get the job done and I ended up firing him." He claimed while he stood at the bathroom door. "So, when will you be returning?" I questioned and he ruffled his hair while he looked at me. "
Isabella POV"Bella, my wonderful cousin-in-law." I heard Daniel's voice coming from behind me while I was walking down the staircase. I slightly chuckled.It has been two days since Justin went on his business trip to London, but he hasn't called anyone to confirm if he had a safe journey or not. Stephanie and Daniel have been sharing a bond with me since lately except for David. I don't know why he hates me, but he does and now I can finalize the difference between the twins. Daniel is flirtatious and sweet whenever he decides to put his phone down. David, on the other hand, is antisocial and totally hostile whenever he has his phone or not. I can also tell the difference when they decide to wear different suits of clothing though they rarely do."Hello, Daniel." I greeted him and he smiled while we both went into the living room."What's popping?" He asked."Your head." I shrugged and he chuckled while we both sat on the same sofa."Daniel, why does your brother hate me?" I que
Isabella POVIt has been approximately two weeks since Justin went on his business project trip and he still hasn't called anyone. Mother-in-law has been quite worried since she tried to call him many times, but he never decided to pick up his phone.Why didn't he answer his own Mother's calls?His step-father, Tom, also went on a business trip yesterday and I think he's an entrepreneur who owns a private business in town. My big sister, Jean, still hasn't returned home and my Mom is extremely worried about her. She even told me, Jean informed her the last time they both were on a call, that she's not returning home. I don't actually know what's been happening to Jean since lately, but she's definitely not the big sister I knew I had. And I think my Father is doing just fine although I haven't spoken to him since the wedding day. Pearl, my best friend, always calls to check up on me once a week. We would talk about random things which included Justin, most of the time. As I walke
