Mag-log inIsabel Queens chose love over her legacy. She wanted a fairytale ending with her Prince Charming, Leo Hunters, even if it was going to cost her everything. Her perfect marriage to Leo crashed when he started maltreating her, abusing her, cheating on her and finally requested to open up their marriage. Isabel was scorned. The man she abandoned her family for and walked away from her legacy ended up stabbing her in the back in the most brutal way possible. She was twisted with revenge, vowing to get back her pound of flesh. Thus, she accepted to open up her marriage and made sure he witnessed her getting banged by three hot male billionaires. What started as a means to get back at her selfish husband ended up with her getting tangled amid three close friends, who were best of friends and business partners; Ares Blackville, Marcos De Santos and Harvey Smith. Will Isabel get carried away by their attention and choose one of them or give in to what she felt for three of them?

I sit at the kitchen counter watching him move through the space with his usual controlled efficiency, but something's off tonight.The precision feels tighter than normal. More rigid. He's quiet in a way that's different from his usual thoughtful silence.This is the silence of someone containing something.We ate at the dining table, the food excellent as always, but Marco's jaw is set throughout. His responses to my attempts at conversation clipped and minimal, like he's holding himself together with concentrated effort.Halfway through the meal I set down my fork."What's wrong?""Nothing." His reply is mmediate and automatic."Marco."He continues eating."Marco. Talk to me."He sets his fork down with careful, controlled precision, and look at me across the table with grey eyes that are doing their best to be unreadable and failing."I'm fine.
ARESSaturday morning starts wrong.I wake early, earlier than usual and lie in bed staring at the ceiling for twenty minutes before giving up on sleep entirely.Harvey is traveling. Boston, some risk assessment meeting that couldn't be rescheduled which means last night, Isabel stayed with Marco.I knew this, and I agreed to this. It was on the shared calendar we all maintain with careful, deliberate honesty.Intellectually, I understand completely. Emotionally, I didn't sleep well. I tell myself I'm fine.I make coffee, and review some work emails. Go for a run along the river, trying to outpace the thing sitting heavy in my chest bu it doesn't work.On the way back, my route takes me past Marco's building. I don't plan it, I don't consciously decide anything but my feet slow when I see the familiar figure emerging from the building entrance.Isabel.Hair slightly messed from sleep. Marco's oversized grey sweater hanging off one shoulder. She is carrying her heels in one hand, and h
ISABELMonday morning arrives with the particular cruelty of all Monday mornings.I walk into Queens Enterprises at eight AM looking every inch the acting CEO, navy suit, heels, hair pinned back, and professional armor fully assembled.Nobody looking at me would guess I spent Sunday evening tangled on a penthouse floor with three men, eating sushi and falling asleep to the sound of Ares's quiet breathing. That's the skill I've developed over the past weeks. Compartmentalization, that is personal Isabel and professional Isabel in completely separate boxes and it works mostly.The quarterly board presentation is at ten AM. I've prepared for weeks, financial projections, operational improvements, strategic initiatives, and growth metrics. Everything is polished to perfection.The boardroom fills with faces I've known my entire life. Men who watched me grow up, who doubted my return, and who are only now beginning to accept that I belong here.My father sits at the head of the table, his
ISABELWeekends belong to all of us.No schedules, no carefully designated time, just four people learning how to exist together as something that defies every conventional label.The first weekend starts Saturday morning when all three men show up at my apartment unannounced, Ares with groceries, Marco with expensive coffee, Harvey with nothing except his presence which somehow feels like the most significant contribution."We're making breakfast," Ares announces, already heading to my kitchen."You're making breakfast," Marco corrects, following. "I'm supervising.""You're both in my kitchen uninvited," I point out.Harvey stops beside me, his hand finding the back of my neck briefly. "Do you want us to leave?""No," I admit.His mouth curves slightly. "Then stop complaining."Breakfast becomes an event.Ares cooks with enthusiastic chaos—eggs everywhere, bacon spitting on the stove, flour somehow appearing despite no baking occurring.Marco stands at the coffee maker with surgical
