Isabelle was walking in the corridor alone as Jane had a different class. She hadn't seen Alexander yet. Lunch had passed, but she couldn't muster an appetite. Jane inquired about the reason, but Isabelle lied, claiming she didn't feel like eating.

Her steps halted as she spotted a familiar figure by her locker, clearly waiting for her. A smile graced his face as she approached.

"Hi, wifey" Alexander greeted, planting a gentle kiss on her forehead. Isabelle quickly scanned the corridor, finding it empty, a stroke of luck.

"What are you doing here?" Isabelle inquired "I noticed you didn't eat lunch" he remarked, tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, prompting surprise in Isabelle's eyes "How did you...." she began but was flinched by the touch of his fingers tracing her waist.

"Let's go" Alexander urged, taking her hand and leading her away. Isabelle attempted to protest "I have class" but her words fell on deaf ears. Alexander guided her to a secluded area known as 'The restricted section' reserved for the four VIP students.

"Guys, we're here" Alexander's voice filled the room as he entered. Isabelle's eyes met Ryder, Lucas, and Noah lounging on the couch "Hey, newlyweds" Lucas teased, eliciting laughter from everyone except Isabelle. Her gaze fell, the weight of Alexander's calling her wife and Lucas's comment sinking in, reinforcing her sense of entrapment.

Isabelle took a seat opposite Noah, who gave her a warm smile, attempting to respond in kind, her uncertainty was palpable, which was understood by Noah, who chose not to say anything, knowing words couldn't ease her turmoil. He knows that the path to improve her life is through Isabelle's acceptance of the reality.

"What do you wana eat?" Alexander's voice broke the silence "I-I'm not hungry" Isabelle's voice barely above a whisper. Lucas and Ryder exchanged glances while Noah's sighed. Alexander subtle signal something to Lucas who nodded his head and take out his phone

Moments later, two maids wheeled in a laden trolley, the tantalizing aroma enveloping the room "Leave" Ryder's command was firm, prompting the maids to exit with a bow. The boys rose, serving themselves as Isabelle remained seated, her fingers fidgeting nervously. The weight of her circumstances loomed heavy, the presence of the four boys intensifying her unease. Despite Noah's encouraging smile, trusting him seemed a distant approach.

"Here, love" Isabelle jumped at the sound of Alexander's voice as he presented her with a plate of delicious food. The aroma wafted through the air, tempting yet distant to her troubled mind. She hesitated, unable to bring herself to eat, her head shaking subtly to convey her inner turmoil. Sensing her unease, Alexander drew her close, his touch gentle as he stroked her hair "You need to eat, love. Eat whatever you like, even just a little bit" his voice soft, brimming with understanding and concern. Isabelle felt the weight of his words, a blend of comfort and expectation, as she grappled with her emotions.
