Chapter 34

• Isabella's mind was a whirlwind of excitement and stress as she sat at her kitchen table, surrounded by party planning books, colorful decorations, and a never-ending to-do list. Her children's birthday party was just three days away, although she didn't invite a planner, she was determined to make it a day they would never forget.
• As a doctor, Isabella had seen firsthand the chaos that the recent flu outbreak had brought upon the city. Hospitals were overflowing, and medical staff were stretched to the limit. But despite the chaos at work, Isabella was determined to create a perfect celebration for her children.
• Alpha Kayden and Jayden, had been a godsend, watching the kids at intervals while Nana, the nanny, was away attending a family event. Isabella was grateful for their help, knowing that she couldn't have managed without them. They took the kids on a mini vacation because they didn't want them knowing of their birthday party. Isabella told them she would be too busy at work to be available on their birthday, but that was just for the surprise to really hit them.
