Rafael’s POV….

Something was wrong.

I felt it before anyone said anything. A subtle shift in the air, like the moment before a storm breaks.

The photographer lowered his camera, frowning.

“Where’s Isabella?”

I scanned the room immediately.

Stylists hovered near garment racks. Assistants whispered over clipboards. Clarisse stood near the lighting rig, her arms crossed and her expression carefully neutral.

No Isabella.

“She stepped out,” Clarisse said lightly, tucking a strand of b

  • 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

    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

    Isabella’s POV…..I woke up to the smell of coffee.For a moment, I didn’t open my eyes.I just lay there, still, wrapped in warmth and soft sheets, trying to remember where I was—and more importantly, what had happened last night.Me and Rafael had sex and it was amazing.My eyes fluttered open slowly, and sunlight poured in through the curtains, painting the room in soft gold. And then I saw him.Rafael stood near the bed, his sleeves rolled up and his dark hair slightly messy like he’d run his fingers through it too many times. He looked… relaxed.“Good morning,” he said in a low voice.I blinked at him.“Why are you smiling like that?”His lips twitched. “Am I not allowed to smile in my own room?”“You don’t smile,” I muttered, pushing myself up slightly.“That’s offensive.”“That’s accurate.”He huffed a quiet laugh, then walked toward me—and that’s when I noticed the tray in his hands.My brows furrowed.“Wait… is that—”“Breakfast,” he said simply, placing the tray gently on m

    Isabella’s POV……Few hours earlier….The music from the beach bar still echoed faintly through the resort even though I had slammed Aurora’s door shut nearly ten minutes ago.I was pissed and angry and drunk, everything irritated me, how dare he get angry because I kissed Sebastian wen his throat was down Giselle's throat I paced the length of her room like a caged animal.Back and forth and back and forth.My bare feet sank into the plush cream carpet, but the softness did nothing to calm the storm raging inside my chest.“Bella,” Aurora said carefully from where she sat cross-legged on the bed. “You’re going to make a hole in the floor.”“I don’t care,” I snapped at her She raised her hands in surrender and I sighed.My jaw clenched.“God, I hate him,” I muttered.Aurora raised a brow. “You hate him… or you’re jealous?”I spun toward her so fast my hair whipped across my face.“Jealous?” I repeated incredulously.Aurora shrugged, completely unfazed. “You looked pretty jealous when
