"Mam" Isabelle looked up as a voice caught her attention, finding a woman elegantly dressed smiling at her. "This way, madam," the woman said. Isabelle rose and walked alongside the lady, eventually arriving at a spacious room filled with an array of dresses.

Wedding Dress.

Isabelle glanced at Alexander, who was engrossed in conversation with a man clad in luxurious attire, might be the shop owner. Alexander beamed at her, "Come, my love" he said as he drew Isabelle closer by her waist, looking at the man "Mr. Oliver, meet my soon- to- be wife, Isabelle. Please show her your most exquisite dresses for our special day" Mr. Oliver chuckled "Absolutely, this delightful couple deserves nothing but the best" He then turned to the woman who had accompanied Isabelle.

"Mrs. Romano, meet my wife Sophia, she will assist you with your wedding dress" Oliver stated. Isabelle's eyes widened at being called 'Mrs. Romano' "For now, I'll take your fiancé" Oliver announced "You go ahead, I'll join you shortly" Alexander agreed. As Sophia and Oliver exited the room to allow the couple privacy, Alexander cautioned Isabelle "Don't make any foolish moves, love. We're getting married no matter what, but one misstep and... you know" Isabelle fought back tears, holding herself together to avoid any further trouble.

Alexander left, and Sophia entered with three employees. They began showing dresses to Isabelle, inquiring about her preferences and style. The dresses were stunning, but Isabelle couldn't bring herself to focus on them. Her thoughts were elsewhere, yearning to see her uncle and grandmother, longing for the comfort of her home.

"Ma'am, how about this one?" Sophia suggested, holding up a wedding dress. Isabelle forced a nod, attempting a smile. Sophia led her to the fitting room to try on the dress.

Isabelle emerged from the changing room and caught sight of Alexander lounging on the couch, engrossed in his phone until he sensed her presence. His eyes widened, and he rose to approach her. Gently brushing a strand of hair behind her ear, he murmured "Beautiful"

Isabelle felt her face redden by his gesture, no one can say he is forcing all of this on her "We need to make a few adjustments to the dress"  Sophia interjected with a smile "Do you like it, love?" Alexander  inquired as he guided her to a large mirror, where they both stood, reflecting their image in the wedding attire.

As Isabelle gazed at her reflection with Alexander beside her, she nodded in approval "We'll take this one" Alexander declared. Sophia's smile widened as she nodded "I'll wait outside" Alexander placed a gentle kiss on Isabelle's temple before leaving.

"He loves you a lot, madam" one of the employees said after finishing changing the dress. Isabelle looked at the girl and smiled "You think so?" The employee nodded "Anyone can see that he's really in love with you" She beamed happily. "But what about me?" Isabelle whispered. Sophia overheard Isabelle's words and turned to her with a smile. "You know, love is a beautiful thing, dear. It's so powerful that it can change someone completely. Just believe and have a little patience, and everything will be alright" Sophia said. Isabelle looked at her with a confused expression, not fully understanding her words.

"Oh my god, mam. You look so stunning" the makeup artist gushed as she completed her work. Her assistants nodded in agreement, echoing "Yes, mam. You look so stunning" with the hairstylist's voice filled with joy. Isabelle sat in front of the mirror, looking at her reflection, very different from her usual self. Despite her outward beauty, her inner self didn't felt nice. Thoughts of her grandmother  and her uncle's well- being weighed heavily on her mind.
