Isabella POV

"Señor López and Señor Lucas, meet my lovely wife, Isabella." Justin introduced me, his hand gently resting on my lower back.

They both appeared to be in their late thirties, exuding a vibrant Mexican aura.

"I'm López." The first man spoke, bowing slightly and extending a hand. "It's an absolute pleasure to make your acquaintance, Señora Martínez."

I placed my hand in his, feeling a gentle kiss on my knuckles. "The pleasure is mutual." I replied warmly.

Señor Lucas stepped forward. "As the owner of the National Global Bank, I extend my congratulations on your wedding. It was a truly magnificent day."

"Enjoy the party." Justin encouraged and they nodded in agreement.

He then turned to me. "Darling, I need to have a word with you."

We quietly moved aside, leaving my bodyguards with Noah. Justin took my hand and guided me to a balcony overlooking the penthouse.

As we stood by the railing, I noticed we were alone.

"What are we doing here?" I asked, noting his styl

    Isabella POV I lazily stretching my limbs, feeling the remnants of last night's party. As I sat up in bed, my laptop and smartphone caught my eye. I quickly reached for both devices, entering my old password on my phone and revealing the familiar homepage. A smile spread across my face, noting everything was still intact. I decided to give my Mother a call, eager to share the news of my well-being and to hear her voice. Afterwards, she answered, "Hello, Bella?" "Yes, Mom. Are you alright?" I asked, hearing a sigh of relief on the other end. "Yes, I'm just glad to hear your voice. How are you holding up?" She inquired. "I'm doing fine, but how's everything back home?" I questioned, concerned. "Your father is doing well and the shop is running smoothly, but Jean hasn't been home lately." She informed me and I furrowed my eyebrows. "She only called a few times, but she hasn't mentioned anything about the interview." I could hear the worry in her voice as she continued. "I d

  • The Light Through His Darkness   The Studio

    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 aest

    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

  • The Light Through His Darkness   The Martínez Family

    Isabella POV As Justin pulled up to the estate, we approached sleek, modern gates. The guard greeted him warmly and opened them for us. We drove through, passing manicured lawns on either side of the driveway. Justin parked in front of the mansion and my eyes were drawn to a circular flower bed in the center of the driveway. As I admired the entrance, the front doors opened gracefully. "Wife, are you planning on staying in the car forever?" Justin asked, standing outside. I took a deep breath, stepped out and closed the car door behind me. Justin opened the trunk to unload our suitcases. "Justin, my dear son, you made it!" A sophisticated lady with shoulder-length, ash blonde hair descended the steps. She wore a black casual dress and exuded a diva-like presence. "Yeah, we both made it." Justin replied, closing the trunk. The lady then turned her attention to me. "And you must be Isabella. Finally, I get to meet you properly." She smiled, examining me. "It’s great to meet yo

    Isabella POV "Isabella, perfect timing." Miss Sonia greeted me as I descended the staircase in my casual evening dress and sandals, my hair pulled into a high ponytail. "Assist me in the kitchen, if you may." She requested, walking away. I followed her quietly into the kitchen. I looked around as she carefully placed utensils on the marbled counter, then headed to the oven with a pair of mittens. "Did you get enough rest?" She asked while checking the oven. I nodded, knowing Justin had been too busy with work to disturb my sleep. "You can bring those to the dining room." She directed. "It's the right turn on the left." I exited the kitchen with the utensils, following her directions and found myself in the dining room. The twins were engrossed in a conversation about soccer. As I placed the utensils on the table, I glanced at their mother, Aunt Lisa, who was taking a seat with baby Crystal in a high chair beside her. Mr. Tom and Miss Sonia entered with the dishes, includin

    Isabella POV I woke to the sound of knocking and opened my eyes to find it was morning. I stretched slightly and glanced at Justin, who was sitting up in bed. "Someone’s at the door." I noted, standing up from the sofa and wrapping the blanket around me as I moved to the bed. Justin nodded and went to answer the door, ruffling his hair. When he opened it, a female voice called out, "Brooo, you’re here!" "Seriously, Stephanie?" Justin groaned, putting a hand up at the doorframe and I ran a hand through my hair, listening. "Where’s your wife? I want to meet her right now." Stephanie demanded. Justin’s eyes met mine for a brief moment as he remained by the door. "She’ll be downstairs soon." Justin replied, slowly closing the door. I heard Stephanie groan before her footsteps retreated. "The brat wants to meet you." Justin explained as he closed the door. "Who’s the brat?" I asked, raising an eyebrow, curious. Justin headed to the closet and responded, "My youngest sister." I

  • The Light Through His Darkness   Babysitting

    Isabella POV I was lying on the bed with Crystal when she began to cry beside me. I sat up and positioned her to stand in my lap, holding her close to my chest while gently rubbing her back. She started to tug on my hair and I nuzzled my nose against hers as she cooed and tried to grasp my cheeks. When she finally grabbed my nose, I chuckled as she pulled it. She cooed happily, releasing her hold. Suddenly, I felt someone's presence in the bedroom. Glancing to the side, I saw Justin leaning against the doorframe, staring at us. I was almost sure I caught him smiling before he cleared his throat and stepped into the room. "You've got a baby for the day without telling me, wife?" He teased, making me blush for a moment as he removed his tie with a pull of his thumb. "I'm just babysitting her until Lisa comes back." I replied, turning my attention back to Crystal as she started to practice her jumping skills on my lap. "I'll be leaving for a business trip tonight." He announc

    Isabella POV "Bella, my wonderful cousin-in-law." A voice called from behind as I descended the staircase. I chuckled softly, glancing back to see Daniel beaming as he caught up with me on the stairs. It had been four days since Justin left for his business trip to London, but he hadn't called anyone here to confirm his safe arrival. Maybe he normally does this, but was he so busy that he couldn't spare a moment to at least let his mother know he was okay? Stephanie and Daniel, on the other hand, had been bonding with me lately, but David was a different story. He seemed to dislike me for reasons I couldn't understand and now I could clearly tell the difference between the twins. Daniel was flirtatious and sweet, always ready to charm whenever he put his phone down. David, on the other hand, was antisocial and hostile, phone or no phone. "Hello, Daniel." I greeted him as we both made our way to the living room. "What's popping?" He grinned, running a hand through his messy h

    Justin POVThe sun dipped low on the horizon, a golden glow casting over the calm waters surrounding my yacht. I leaned against the balcony railing, a glass of wine in my hand. Isabella lay stretched out on the outdoor sofa, her legs curled slightly, her hair spilling over the cushions in soft waves. A book rested in her hands, its cover sporting the title The Glass Castle. Occasionally, she reached for the bowl of strawberries and grapes beside her. She smiled as she read, her fingers grazing the fruit before popping one into her mouth.I watched as Peach, the little furball, darted back and forth across the deck like she was on a sugar high.I sipped my wine, savoring the crisp tang of the liquid. Unable to resist Isabella's peaceful image any longer, I headed down. She didn’t look up when I approached, too engrossed in her book.

    Justin POV"Yeah." I muttered into the phone, barely listening to Sonia’s endless rambling. "Everything’s fine here.""Bye." I said curtly, eager to end the conversation. I glanced over at Isabella, who was glaring at me like I’d just committed a crime. Before I could hang up, Isabella’s hand was suddenly cupping my jaw. She squeezed my cheeks together, forcing my mouth into some ridiculous face as her lips silently mouthed, "Say “Mom”." She tilted her head, batting those ridiculous puppy-dog eyes at me. I raised a brow at her.Did she really think that was going to work on me?…Apparently, I played along."Bye…Mom." I gritted out, each syllable more painful than the last.Isabella’s grin lit up her whole face, a little too smug for my liking, as I ended the call and tossed the phone aside."You’re relentless, wife." I muttered, running a hand over my face."And who’s a good boy?" She teased, tilting her head at me like she was addressing a misbehaving puppy.I smirked but kept my

    Justin POVFrom the bedroom balcony, I leaned against the railing, shaking up my bottle of protein shake and watching her down by the shore. Isabella was barefoot, her light dress flowing in the breeze as she bent to pick up seashells, carefully placing them into a bucket. Peach darted around her, barking and chasing the waves.Isabella held her beach hat with one hand, trying to keep it from flying away in the breeze as the puppy circled her feet. What is she even doing? Collecting seashells like a kid.Shaking my head, I turned away, taking a swig of my shake. As I stepped back into the room, my phone started ringing from where I’d left it on the sofa.Sonia. Her name lit up the screen, but I didn’t bother answering. I set the phone down and walked to the floor mat in the corner, taking another sip before putting the shake on the nightstand. I wasn’t in the mood for her probing—questions about how the “honeymoon” was going, about Isabella or about when she could expect grandkids

    Justin POVAs soon as I saw her wince, clutching her palm, I knew something was wrong. Without a word, I stepped to the refrigerator, grabbed a bag of frozen peas and returned to her. She stood there, biting her bottom lip as if trying to hide her discomfort."Here." I said, holding her hand gently and pressing the cold bag against her palm. Her skin was warm under my touch and the small furrow between her brows tugged at something inside me I couldn’t name.Before I could step back, she pulled me into a hug. The gesture caught me off guard, but I didn’t resist. Her head rested against my shoulder and I felt her relax against me, her frame soft yet grounding.I stood there, uncertain for a moment, before my arms slowly circled her. Hugging her back felt...natural, almost too natural. This wasn’t supposed to be part of the plan. She wasn’t supposed to get to me like this.But damn it, she was.Isabella was nothing like I expected.

    Isabella POV When I wandered into the kitchen, Peach darted past me, her little tail wagging as she carried her bone-shaped chew toy toward the living room. I shook my head with a small smile, turning my attention to the fridge. Breakfast it is, I thought, pulling the door open to find the shelves fully stocked.I glanced around the kitchen, admiring the modern appliances and neatly arranged cupboards before tying my hair into a quick ponytail. Spotting an apron hanging near the counter, I slipped it on and started gathering what I needed.Reaching into the fridge, I pulled out a carton of eggs and a box of milk. My eyes caught sight of a container of fresh strawberries and I couldn’t resist popping one into my mouth as I set the rest in a bowl. Next, I retrieved flour, cinnamon, vanilla and baking powder from the cupboards, carefully lining everything up on the counter.As I washed my hands at the sink, I realized I’d forgotten the butter. Returning to the fridge, I rummaged a

    Isabella POV I snuggled deeper beneath the sheets, a soft smile tugging at my lips as I hugged my pillow tightly. The warmth and comfort were perfect—until I noticed something solid under my cheek.Blinking groggily, I opened my eyes, only to realize I wasn’t holding a pillow at all. My breath hitched as I looked up, finding myself curled against Justin’s chest, his arm draped securely around my waist.The soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a warm glow across the room. Carefully, I raised my head from his chest, studying his face. He was fast asleep, his features completely relaxed. My gaze lingered on his strong jawline and those dark lashes that softened his otherwise sharp features.Unable to resist, I tentatively traced my index finger along his jaw, the stubble rough beneath my touch. A small smile tugged at my lips as I poked his perfectly sculpted nose. When a strand of his silky hair fell loose, I absentmindedly brushed it back, my fingers grazing h

    Isabella POV Another sneeze betrayed me, louder this time. I sighed, burrowing deeper into the sheet in defeat. I tried to focus on the warmth of the fabric and ignore the discomfort, but exhaustion soon began to win out. Just as I was drifting off, I felt myself being lifted. My eyes flew open and I found Justin carrying me, the sheet still wrapped tightly around me."My stubborn little wife." He muttered, shaking his head as he walked toward the bed."I’m fine..." I started, but another sneeze cut me off."You’re fine, huh?" He said, smirking as he gently set me down on the bed. He tucked the sheet around me like I was some fragile thing, ignoring my glare.His hand pressed softly against my forehead, his eyes meeting mine. "No fever." He teased, leaning closer.

    Isabella POV As Justin and I strolled along the wooden porch, I noticed the two waiters ahead, carrying our suitcases toward the house. The faint sound of the ocean waves reached my ears, prompting me to glance back at the yacht anchored in the distance. The glow from the porch’s light posts brightened our path and a cool breeze swept through, brushing against my skin. I shivered involuntarily, drawing closer to Justin. Without a word, he slipped an arm around my shoulders, his hand gliding gently along my arm, warming me. I tilted my head to look at him, but his gaze remained fixed ahead. Following his line of sight, I noticed the grand silhouette of a beach house perched elegantly on the hill, its beauty enhanced by the moonlight. After a few more minutes of walking, we reached the house. I watched as the waiters placed our suitcases neatly by the doorway. Offering them a grateful smile, I thanked them warmly and they nodded in response. Justin handed them a tip, his
