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
Isabella POV I woke up with a slight yawn and I opened my eyes while rolling over onto my back as I stretched. Then I realized Justin wasn't in bed and I slowly sat up. I ran a hand through my hair while looking at the pillows beside mine. I stood up from the bed.Last night, I placed my clothes into the closet and to my surprise, there wasn't any clothing in my suitcases which could actually cover half of my body. There were short dresses, enticing lingerie which I didn't know I had and other clothing which were the only garments I was aware of, but the rest were the devilish work of Stephanie, for sure. However, last night, I ended up wearing a black Victoria Secret lace and satin kimono lingerie without the cover-up to bed. I figured Justin returned last night, but I wasn't sure if he slept in the bed and it's not like I wanted him to sleep in the bed or anything... I rolled my eyes at my thought then I slowly went into the living room and I saw Justin. He was sitting on th
Isabella POV "I told you to check the profit before you check the loss." Justin scolded me."Stop scolding me, that's exactly what I did!" I said, frustratingly as I shoved the papers in his face and he took the papers. He slowly scanned his eyes over the papers for a while and he shook his head after a few minutes of silence. "You missed a month, so that's why the calculations escalated wrong." He claimed as he threw the papers onto the coffee table. I frowned since I knew I didn't overlook a month in my calculations. "No, you're wrong." I declined as I quickly kneed down before the coffee table and I slowly looked through the papers. It was approximately 1:34pm since the last time I checked the clock and rain was slightly pouring on the outside. "Wife." I heard Justin saying and I looked at the checklist then at the calculation list."$189,000. $175,000. $154,000. $235,000..." I was cut off by Justin before I could even start examining the percentages. "Wife." He sought my a
Isabella POVI groaned when I started to hear constant knocking against the door and I slowly rolled over in the bed, stretching my hands. Then I felt something hard, so my hand started to wander around and I realized I was touching his abs when I opened my eyes. I looked beside me to see Justin in the bed and he was peacefully sleeping on his back with his lips slightly parted. When I was about to poke his sleeping face, the door was being knocked. I slowly stood up from the bed and I entered the living room to approach the exit doors of the penthouse. I opened the door and I saw Noah with five unknown men in suits standing behind him. My two personal bodyguards were also standing at the door. I diverted my attention to Noah while the unfamiliar men stared at me in silence."Good morning, Mrs. Martinez. Is your husband inside?" Noah greeted me with a phone in his hand. I slowly nodded."Give me a second and you all can wait in the living room." I said while I gave them a path
