Isabel Magnolia Novels & Stories

Others looked outright panicked. Ximena stood at the head of the long table, her chin lifted, her emerald blouse crisp beneath a tailored blazer. She was elegant under pressure. Across from her stood **Isabela Reyes**, cool and unshaken, dressed in muted navy. Her hands rested lightly on the folder in front of her. Camila’s locket shimmered around her neck. “Thank you all for your time,” Isabela began, her voice smooth. “I come before you not as an enemy—but as blood.”

🖤♣️The Collapse🖤♣️ ‎“Isabella, put away your Barbie dolls and come to the dinner table.” ‎Her mother’s voice floated through the wide halls of the mansion—warm, steady, familiar. ‎Seven-year-old Isabella Marisol Reyes sat cross-legged on the polished marble floor, her dolls arranged in careful, deliberate rows. Not scattered. Never scattered. Even at her age, there was order in everything she did. ‎She tilted her head slightly, studying them.

"Some stains never get cleaned, no matter how much you try to do it, they stay with you throughout your life and stain your whole existence." Isabel frowned and turned her attention to the woman. "Excuse me, Are you talking to me?" She asked in a firm tone. Gina Morreti capped her lipstick and flashed Isabel a superior look. "I Am! Isabel Ruiz." The frown between Isabel's brows deepened. "Do we know each other, Miss?" She asked, looking straight into her eyes. She knew the woman was trying to intimidate her but Isabel didn't allow it to happen. Just because she acted like a nervous kitten with Viso around her didn't mean she was going to let people walk all over her.

Finally, she helped her into the gown—a floor-length lilac dress, off-shoulder, fitted neatly at the waist before flowing out in a graceful flare. Rose stepped back, gave her a long look, then spun the chair slightly so Isabella could face the mirror. Isabella’s eyes widened. For a moment, she almost didn’t recognize herself. “Wow… is that really me?” she whispered, astonished. Her reflection was stunning, almost like looking at a stranger who belonged on a magazine cover. “You look breathtaking,” Rose said with a proud grin. Isabella’s lips parted in a smile, her voice thick with excitement. “Thank you, Rose. You’ve really made my day.”

“Where would she have hidden something?” Isabelle’s gaze darted around, memories flooding back. She had spent countless afternoons here with her mother, playing among the flowers, listening to her soft voice tell stories of hidden treasures and lost secrets. Then she remembered. “The white roses,” she whispered. Michael looked at her. “What?” Isabelle turned toward the far end of the garden, where a secluded section was lined with pure white roses—her mother’s favorite. She broke into a run, her breath quickening with every step.

“You’re mine. You’ve always been mine.” The door creaked open behind him. Soft, deliberate footsteps crossed the threshold feline, confident, and dripping with seduction. Isabel entered, her designer blouse clinging to her full curves, the top buttons deliberately undone to reveal the black lace edge of her bra and the smooth, creamy swell of her breasts. A few dark strands of hair had escaped her chignon, framing her face in wild, sensual disarray. Her signature floral perfume jasmine and vanilla cut through the heavy stench of smoke and blood, sweet and intoxicating, like forbidden fruit laced with sin.

This was their chosen sanctuary, a world away from the opulent ballrooms and society galas of his past life. Isabelle stood in a small room at the back of the chapel, her heart a drum against her ribs. She was wearing a simple, elegant ivory gown. It was not a designer creation that screamed of expense, but a beautifully tailored piece that had been found in a small boutique, its fabric flowing and soft. It felt like a part of her, not a costume. Her hair was pulled back in a loose, elegant bun, a single white rose tucked into the side. She held a small bouquet of wildflowers, their vibrant colors a testament to the new, untamed beauty she had found in her life.

Isabel was confused at first when she learnt about her dad’s whereabouts. What does he want with Dylan? Or does he intend to intimidate David on his first day in the Pride pack? No, she can’t let the young pup encounter such an unpleasant experience on his first day here. With that thought, Isabel ran outside the house, got into her black Mercedes SUV and drove off. Courtesy of Xavi, she didn’t have to waste so much of her time searching for them and drove straight to the park.
