I Wish It Were You Isabel - Episode 1: The Marriage of Strangers

The grand chandeliers sparkled in the dim light of the lavish ballroom, but Isabel stood to the side, feeling like a guest at her own wedding. She clutched her champagne glass tightly, her fingers trembling slightly. She glanced across the room at the man she had just married, Jared—now her husband. His tall figure was handsome, but the expression on his face was distant, as if he were as uninterested in the marriage as she was.

They had exchanged vows only hours before, but it felt surreal. Bound by a family alliance between their powerful families, this marriage was never about love, but about duty and obligation. Isabel barely knew him, and the few encounters they’d had during the past year were brief and forgettable. She could hardly recall the details of his face, let alone build any sort of connection.

I Wish It Were You Isabel - A New Start at Work

A year had passed since their wedding day, and Isabel had thrown herself into her work to distract from her empty marriage. Her job at Belin Enterprises, one of the most prestigious corporations in the city, was the one thing that gave her purpose. She was determined to make her mark and prove that she was more than just a woman in a loveless, arranged marriage.

But everything changed the day she met Lorenzo Belin, the enigmatic and powerful CEO of the company. From the moment their eyes met, Isabel felt an undeniable spark. Lorenzo was different from Jared. He was confident, charismatic, and had a way of making her feel seen in a way that her husband never did.

As she worked closely with Lorenzo on several projects, Isabel found herself drawn to him, her heart pounding every time he entered the room. His intense gaze made her feel alive, and she couldn’t help but wonder what it would be like to be with someone like him—someone who made her feel something more than the cold indifference she had grown used to with Jared.

I Wish It Were You Isabel - The Awakening of Emotions

Isabel’s growing feelings for Lorenzo stirred a conflict within her. She was still married to Jared, a man she barely knew, but her heart longed for someone else. She started to feel guilty, torn between her duty as a wife and the intense emotions she felt for her boss. Every day, the line between professional and personal grew blurrier, and Isabel found herself caught in a web of confusion and desire.

One evening, after a long day at work, Lorenzo invited Isabel to dinner to discuss an important project. As they sat in a quiet, elegant restaurant, the conversation drifted away from business and became more personal. Lorenzo leaned in closer, his gaze soft but intense, and for the first time, Isabel felt truly understood.

"Isabel," he said in a low voice, "there’s something about you that’s different. I feel like I’ve known you for much longer than I have."

Her heart skipped a beat. She looked into his eyes, feeling a connection she couldn’t explain. It was as if they were meant to be together, and for a fleeting moment, she wished that her life were different. She wished she had married someone like Lorenzo instead of Jared—a stranger who barely knew she existed.

I Wish It Were You Isabel - The Shocking Revelation

As their relationship deepened, Isabel’s feelings for Lorenzo grew stronger, and she couldn’t deny it anymore—she was falling for him. But just as she was ready to confess her emotions, her world was turned upside down.

Late one night, Isabel found herself going through some old documents in her office. Her fingers brushed against an envelope addressed to her husband, Jared. Curiosity got the better of her, and she opened it, her heart racing. Inside, she found something that made her blood run cold.

The photograph inside the envelope showed Lorenzo. But it wasn’t the suave CEO she had come to know—it was Jared. Her husband, the man she had been married to for a year, was none other than Lorenzo Belin.

Isabel’s mind reeled with the revelation. How could this be? The man she had fallen for, the man she wished she had married instead of Jared, was, in fact, her husband all along.

I Wish It Were You Isabel - A Collision of Identities

Isabel’s emotions surged in waves—confusion, anger, betrayal. She had been deceived, but by whom? Was Jared, or rather Lorenzo, aware of this all along? Why hadn’t he revealed the truth? And how could she reconcile the two men she thought she knew—the distant, uninterested Jared and the passionate, engaging Lorenzo?

She wanted to confront him, demand answers, but her heart was in turmoil. The man she had fallen in love with was her husband—yet everything she knew about their marriage had been built on lies. Isabel didn’t know whether to feel relief, anger, or heartbreak.

The episode ends with Isabel standing alone in her office, holding the photograph in trembling hands, her thoughts racing as she tries to make sense of the tangled web her life had become.

The first episode of I Wish It Were You sets the stage for a gripping story filled with unexpected twists, secret identities, and a complicated love triangle. Isabel’s journey of self-discovery and love is just beginning, but the road ahead is fraught with emotional conflicts and shocking revelations, leaving viewers eagerly awaiting what comes next.
