MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 055:
Isabella’s POV……I didn’t know how long I ran all I knew was that I couldn’t stop.Not when my chest felt like it was cracking open.Not when every word Valentina had said kept replaying in my head like a broken record.I drugged your drink, I needed you out of the way.We’ve been seeing each other for months.My steps slowed as I reached the far end of the house—the quieter wing, the one no one ever really used during events.The noise from the gala faded behind me, the laughter, the music all gone.Replaced by silence i pushed open a random door and stepped inside.It was a dimly lit lounge with soft couches.It had floor to-ceiling windows that overlooked the city, the lights flickering like distant stars in the night.Just perfect for me.The moment the door clicked shut behind me, everything I’d been holding in snapped free.A sob tore from my chest before I could stop it.I staggered forward and dropped onto the nearest couch, my hands flying to my face as the tears came hard an
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 054: Choices
Isabella’s POV…..The silence didn’t stop, it stretched and stretched snd made everything feel heavy, everything happened so fast.My hand was still raised and my palm stung from how hard the hit was.Valentina’s cheek was flushed where I’d hit her.And all around us People were watching with their phones out, recording us.I swallowed hard, my throat was dry.“You’re going to explain,” I said, my voice shaking despite my effort to steady it. “Right now.”Valentina didn’t respond immediately she just stared at me then slowly she laughed.“You really want to do this here?” she asked.“Yes,” I snapped. “Here. Now. In front of everyone.”Her eyes flicked briefly around the room, taking in the crowd, the attention, the tension and everything.Then she looked back at me and something in her expression shifted.Like she’d made a decision.“Fine,” she said.My chest tightened.“Let’s tell the truth.”A murmur rippled through the room.People leaned in to hear what she had to say.I felt the
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 053: The truth revealed
Isabella’s POV…..The moment Valentina stepped into the hall, everything else faded into a blur.The music, the laughter.The soft clinking of glasses.All of it blurred into the background as my eyes locked on her.She looked… the same.Calm and beautiful as ever, wearing a shining black dress and her lips in a smirk.She looked radiant and like she hadn’t disappeared on me, like she hadn’t been acting strange.My mind went back to the textI know what happened that night.My fingers curled slightly around my clutch.Aurora was still talking beside me, but I wasn’t listening anymore.Because Valentina wasn’t looking around the room.She was looking straight at me.And then she walked further in like she owned the place.I exhaled slowly.“Excuse me,” I muttered, already moving towards her “Bella?” Aurora called after me.I didn’t stop.My heels clicked sharply against the marble as I crossed the room, weaving through guests, ignoring the curious glances.By the time I reached the b
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 052: The show stopper
Isabella’s POV….The house had never looked like this before.Even from the top of the staircase, I could see the transformation.Soft, golden lights glowed from every corner, casting a warm, expensive sheen over everything they touched. Fresh flowers lined the railings, the scent and beauty blending perfectly with the faint hum of music drifting in from the main hall.Everything was polished and perfect.Exactly how it needed to be.I tightened my grip on the tablet in my hand as I walked downstairs, my heels clicking against the marble floor.“Those centerpieces need to be moved slightly to the left,” I told one of the staff, gesturing lightly. “Not too much—just enough to balance the spacing.”“Yes, ma’am.”I didn’t stop moving.“There—those lights are too bright. Dim them a little.”“Yes, ma’am.”“And the champagne table—refill before guests start arriving.”“Yes, ma’am.”My voice was calm and steady.But inside, everything was running fast.Every detail mattered every little thi
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 51: The invitation
Isabella’s pov……The house was too quiet when I woke up.I went downstairs and saw breakfast ready, it was pancake and scrambled eggs.I looked around and didn't see anyone, where was everybody?I stood in the middle of the living room with my phone in my hand, staring at the blank notes app where I’d started drafting the guest list for the gala.I looked at all the names on the guest list.Sponsors, investors, socialites and influencers. People who smiled in public and tore each other apart in private.Perfect.I exhaled slowly and dropped onto the couch, tucking one leg under me.I didn't have any appetite.This event had to be perfect not just good.But perfect.Because this wasn’t just a party.This was damage control, that seemed to be all I did when I was around Rafael.And somewhere in the back of my mind, a quieter voice whispered—This is also your chance to secure your place, to make this marriage look real.To make everything real.My fingers tightened slightly around my ph
MARRIED TO THE BILLIONAIRE STRANGER Chapter 50: Things at stake
Isabella’s POV…..We took a flight back home and barely got enough rest when I got a message fromt father.COME TO THE HOUSE WITH YOUR HUSBAND The drive to my parents’ house felt longer than usual.Or maybe it just felt that way because Rafael and I hadn’t said more than five words to each other since we left the house.The city stretched around us busy, loud, and alive but inside the car, everything was quiet.Too quiet.I sat by the window, watching the streets blur past, my fingers lightly gripping my phone on my lap. Every now and then, I could feel Rafael’s gaze flicker toward me, like he wanted to say something.But he didn’t.And I wasn’t about to make it easier for him.Not after everything, not after Giselle.Not after my mother’s voice echoing in my head.Get pregnant.I swallowed, shifting slightly in my seat.Focus.You made your decision.Stick to it.“We’re here,” Rafael said suddenly.I blinked and looked up.The car had stopped in front of my parents’ house just the s
