View MoreIsabella POV I felt a gentle shake, prompting a groan as I opened my eyes to see Justin staring down at me. I glanced around, realizing we were still inside the jet and I had fallen asleep on the sofa behind my seat. Slowly sitting up, I ran a hand through my hair, noticing Noah and Justin's colleagues were occupied with their laptops. My two bodyguards appeared to be resting, asleep in their seats across the cabin. Returning my gaze to Justin, I saw him offering me an apple as he took my seat. I accepted it, feeling a bit puzzled. "You must be hungry." He mentioned, sounding almost concerned, though his curiosity was evident. I nodded slowly, taking a bite of the apple. He then turned his attention across the cabin. "Ben, wake up and get my wife some lunch." Justin commanded, rising from the seat. I saw Ben spring to his feet, blinking before he nodded and replied, "Sure, boss." Justin adjusted his collar, his tie already loosened. I shook my head at him. "You didn't have t
Isabella POV I groaned at the persistent knocking at the door, reluctantly rolling over and stretching my arms. My hand brushed against something hard and as I explored further, I realized I was touching abs. My eyes fluttered open to find Justin beside me, peacefully sleeping on his back, lips slightly parted. Just as I was about to poke his sleeping face, the knocking continued. With a sigh, I climbed out of bed and made my way to the living room, approaching the double doors of the penthouse. Opening the door, I found Noah standing there with five unknown men in suits behind him. My two personal bodyguards were also present in the hallway. "Good morning, Mrs. Martínez." Noah greeted me, holding a phone in his hand. I nodded, acknowledging him. "He'll be out in a sec, but you all can wait in the living room." I stepped aside to let them in and Noah nodded in thanks as they entered, glancing around. Closing the door, I returned to the bedroom, where Justin was still sleepin
Isabella POV "I told you to calculate the percentage of loss for those years." Justin's voice carried a note of sternness as he removed his glasses and pinched the bridge of his nose. "That's exactly what I did!" I snapped, shoving the papers in his face. He took them, his eyes scanning the figures while I anxiously bit down on my lower lip. After a moment, he shook his head, pointing to the papers. "You missed a figure, which is why the calculations are off." He exhaled, tossing the papers onto the coffee table. I frowned. I knew I hadn't overlooked anything because I had double-checked everything. "No, you're wrong." I insisted, quickly kneeling down before the coffee table to review the papers. It was a little past 2 o'clock in the afternoon and I could hear the rain lightly tapping against the windows. "Wife." Justin's voice reached out, but I refused to look at him as I examined the paperwork, muttering the figures under my breath and jotting them down on a blank shee
Isabella POV I woke up with a slight yawn, opening my eyes as I rolled onto my back to stretch. Realizing Justin wasn't in bed, I slowly sat up and ran a hand through my hair, glancing at the pillows beside mine. I stood from the bed, recalling last night's annoyance: while sorting my clothes, I noticed that my suitcases were filled with skimpy dresses, enticing lingerie I didn't even know I owned and a few decent items. Clearly, the works of Stephanie. I assumed Justin had returned last night, though I wasn’t sure if he had slept in the bed or not. 'Not that I wanted him to or anything.' I thought, rolling my eyes at myself. Making my way into the living room, I ran a hand through my hair and spotted Justin. He was sitting on the sofa with a laptop on the coffee table, surrounded by paperwork. He wore black-rimmed eyeglasses and a pair of boxers, his shirt nowhere in sight. I smiled slightly; noticing how debonair he looked in those glasses though his hair was tousled.
Isabella POV It had been about two weeks since Justin left for his business project and he still hadn't called anyone. His mother was growing increasingly anxious, having tried to reach him multiple times without success. Although, Stephanie had mentioned it wasn't unusual for Justin not to check in; he and their mother had been at odds. Mr. Tom had also left for a business trip yesterday. My mom recently informed me that Jean returned home last week, but moved out the next day without any explanation. Mom is deeply worried since Jean told her she wasn’t coming back. Meanwhile, Jean has been ignoring my messages and calls. It’s disheartening to see how she’s changed. My father, on the other hand, seems to be doing well, though I haven’t spoken to him lately; I’m unsure what to say to him at this point. Pearl, my best friend, always calls once a week to check in. Our conversations usually cover a range of topics, including updates about Justin. As I walked through the liv
"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 hair. "Your hea
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 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
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
