In Isabella's room, Kia enveloped her friend in another tight hug, expressing, "Oh, I've missed my girl."
Returning the embrace, Isabella grinned and inquired, "How was it on Influencer Island? I want all the tea!"
Kia, with a mischievous twinkle in her eye, teased, "I will give you all the tea after you get married." Isabella chuckled, fully aware of her friend's penchant for dramatic storytelling.
Changing the subject, Isabella mentioned, "Well, I'm to go to Mama Christina's today, in fact... soon. You wanna come?"
Kia, always up for an adventure, replied, "Why not? Let's get ready."
Isabella, a knowing smile playing on her lips, added, "You want to change clothes because I know you."
Kia laughed and retorted, "You have anything befitting? I know we wear the same size."
Isabella gestured towards her wardrobe, saying, "Well
Isabella, caught off guard by the unexpected arrival of Ruben's parents, couldn't contain her surprise. She swiftly pulled Ruben aside into the living room, finding a quiet corner to express her concerns."Hey, hey, come here...we need to talk," Isabella insisted, a hint of worry in her voice. Ruben, sensing her unease, excused himself from the family gathering and followed Isabella to the corner."I didn't know your parents would be coming. Why didn't you tell me? I thought it's just a casual wedding, given I have been married before," Isabella exclaimed, her eyebrows furrowed in concern.Ruben, looking into Isabella's eyes, responded, "Isabella, baby, if I'm to get married to you, or at all, I have to do it right. The whole legal thing and shit."Isabella sighed, feeling the weight of the situation, "But you should have informed me. I'm not ready for this."Ruben, attempting to reassure her, said, "Well, they are here now. You have to be. They are cool anyway; they don't bite.""Tha
After the heated moment in the kitchen, Kia left the fiance behind, a sly smile playing on her lips. As she sauntered into the porch, her demeanor hinted at mischief, and a subtle wink in Tania's direction heightened the intrigue. Tania, rolling her eyes in response, maintained a facade of nonchalance.Just as Tania's fiance joined them on the porch, Tania casually inquired, "Babe, where have you been?" He, attempting to fabricate an excuse, stammered, "Umm... just looking for a knife, couldn't find any." Tania, seemingly unfazed, shot a glance at Kia, who was discreetly wiping away smeared lipstick.However, Tania's nonchalant attitude quickly turned to suspicion as her eyes landed on her fiance's collar, adorned with a conspicuous lipstick stain. In that moment of realization, Tania's expression shifted from calm to explosive. "Oh, this bitch...!" she began, the words dripping with disdain as she recognized the unmistakable sign of mischief. Kia, reveling in the unfolding drama, mai
The ladies, with their infectious energy, managed to coax Isabella out of her contemplative state. They piled into her sleek Rolls-Royce, and Kia boldly declared, "I'm driving."

Laughter and lively chatter filled the luxurious vehicle, a deliberate attempt to lift Isabella's spirits. Kia, navigating the streets with confidence, turned to her friend. "Come on, Isa, let's make this unforgettable," she encouraged, offering a glass of champagne.As they arrived at the boutique, Isabella was met with a pleasant surprise – Ruben had taken care of everything. "So, Ruben planned all this with you guys, huh?" Isabella inquired, a mix of disbelief and gratitude in her voice. Danni, amidst a sea of bridal gowns, chuckled, "He even told us to shop f
Sunday arrived, and the soft morning light filtered through the curtains, casting a serene glow across Isabella's bedroom. As the sun rose, Isabella stirred from her sleep, slowly becoming aware of the world around her. Her friends, scattered across the room in various states of slumber, were a testament to the lively celebration that had unfolded the night before.Suddenly, realization dawned on Isabella – it was her wedding day. In a mild state of disarray, she looked around, taking in the sight of her friends sprawled on the floor and others nestled in unexpected places. A mix of amusement and concern flickered in her eyes as she gently nudged Kia, who was still deep in dreams."Wake up, wake up, Kia, it's the wedding day!" Isabella exclaimed. Kia, with a disoriented but determined expression, shot up from the floor, declaring, "I'm up!" The sudden burst of energy began to ripple through the room as Isabella and Kia roused the rest of the crew.Danni, still rubbing sleep from her e
In Daniel's living room, Alex paced back and forth, a whirlwind of emotions coursing through him. "I didn't know she was really over me to this level," he muttered, frustration evident in his voice. "We got divorced months ago, and then she went ahead to get married to the same guy, huh?"Daniel, observing his friend's agitation, tried to offer a calming perspective. "Relax, bro. I told you, women are not worth this kind of stress," he advised. Alex, clearly not ready to embrace that philosophy, retorted, "Oh, please, don't give me all that. She knew exactly what she's doing."Attempting to provide a different angle, Daniel continued, "But you're out of her life now. You should be happy. All those insults and disrespect are over with." Alex, his frustration undiminished, countered, "Daniel, you don't understand how I feel. I feel so blindsided and betrayed, bro."Daniel, placing a reassuring hand on Alex's shoulder, empathized, "I know you, and I understand how you feel. You just need
Alex poured out his feelings, saying, "I thought I was over it, damn! Over her. But seeing the whole thing flying all over the internet brought this wild rush of emotions I am still trying to figure out." Bambi, understanding the complexity of emotions, responded with a comforting, "Okay...?"Apologizing for bringing it up, Alex added, "I'm sorry for bringing this up; I know I'm not supposed to." Bambi laughed softly and reassured him, "Alex, I felt the same way with my ex the other day at the restaurant, so all of these feelings, I totally understand it. I mean, damn! She is one fine woman, and I totally understand if you feel bad or off."Expressing his confusion, Alex questioned, "It's like I was betrayed or something. We got divorced a few months ago; how did everything seem rushed?" Bambi, offering wisdom from her own experiences, replied, "Well, I don't have all the answers, Alex. All I can say is feel your feelings; it's important you do. Find your answers but don't linger on i
The aroma of sizzling stir-fry and the gentle clinking of chopsticks filled the air as Alex and Bambi settled into the cozy ambiance of the Chinese restaurant. The dim lighting cast a warm glow on their table, creating an intimate space for conversation.As they perused the menu and placed their orders, Bambi swiftly reached into her purse, pulling out her card with determination. Alex, noticing her intent, leaned towards the waiter and discreetly murmured, "Don't collect it."Bambi, catching wind of Alex's attempt, shot him a playful yet firm look, "I'm paying, and there's no talking out of it."Alex responded with a touch of protest, "But I can't let you do this, babe."With a sweet smile, Bambi pleaded, "Please, honey. Let me."Reluctantly, Alex sighed, "Okay then, go ahead."Bambi's eyes sparkled with triumph as she confidently handed her card to the waiter, settling the bill without a second thought. Alex couldn't help but smile, realizing that this wasn't just about a meal – it
Alex strolled into the kitchen, where the butler was engrossed in his culinary endeavors. Breaking the silence, Alex remarked, "Wow, must really be a special recipe chasing the cook out of the kitchen."The butler, with a wry smile, confessed, "I just wanted to have the kitchen to myself so that if anything goes wrong, I won't blame any of them."Alex nodded in understanding, "Right."Shifting the conversation, Alex asked, "So what is it you wanted to discuss?"The butler, turning away momentarily from his cooking, shared, "Well, I had a word with Daniel. He told me about your break out."Alex sighed, "Guy doesn't know how to keep his mouth shut."The butler defended, "Hey, he's only looking out for you, and he wanted you to be okay."Alex conceded, "Well, I'm fine. Had a thing with Bambi today, so I'm good. Happy, and I'm actually starting to be happy for her too. I mean, she's happy, it's what she wants, so yes."The butler, nodding in approval, added, "Well, Rich called. I'm sure M
