Each store displayed designer items with price tags that could rival a middle-class salary, and exclusivity was the rule of the game. For Chris, bringing Isabelle here was a statement—one that showcased his wealth and status. With their wedding just a week away, he wanted to remind Isabelle why she had chosen him. He was the perfect provider, capable of fulfilling her every material desire! Isabelle, draped in an elegant dress, walked arm in arm with Chris while her best friend, Julie, tagged along.
