~Isabel~

My phone was still buzzing like crazy in my hand. Chloe’s face lit up the screen as the car stopped. I stepped out, and every single ache from twelve hours of work hit me all at once.

Chloe was already marching toward me, glowing like an actual disco ball in that silver mini dress. But she wasn’t alone.

Someone else stepped out from beside her car, and my heart did a silly little flip.

It was Marcus.

Dark denim jacket, plain black tee, looking effortlessly cool. He’d actually dr

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    The hearing ( Her Sentence)

    ~Isabel~ Cold sweat broke out along my arms as I stared at William’s quiet side profile. If I hadn't pushed, if I hadn't fought back against every threat and exposed the fake ultrasound, William would have ended up married to a murderer. He would have shared a bed and a home with a woman who eliminated people the moment they became inconvenient. Juliana had started at the very top of high society, wealthy, untouchable, admired and her endless greed had buried her...the fallout hadn't just destroyed her; it had dragged down her father and laid waste to their family's prestigious law firm. The next morning, the courtroom was packed….Reporters pressed on the barricades outside, but inside was silent. William sat beside me in the front row, his shoulder pressed to mine as he held my hand in his lap, his grip tightened slightly as the door opened and two cops led Juliana Vane into the room… She looked stripped of her former glory. Her golden hair was pulled back into a dry,

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    The Only Family Left...

    ~Isabel~ The crunch of gravel beneath our shoes was the only sound along the cemetery path as the funeral procession moved toward the plot. The sky was a pale cloudy grey matching the cold air that settled over the headstones. When we reached the open grave, two workers used ropes to lower Arthur Sterling’s coffin into the earth... the moment it dropped below ground level, my mother wailed. The sound echoed causing the officiating minister to pause a bit. Chloe wrapped an arm around my mother's shaking shoulders, rubbing her back to calm her. Beside me, William’s fingers tightened around mine... his grip was too tight, i was sure it would bruise by the time he let go...but i didn’t pull away. I could feel the pain holding him down. His jaw was locked... his thumb kept rubbing over my hand like he was trying to erase something... maybe that gnawing guilt over words left unsaid to his father. I knew that with enough time, the wound might heal. Maybe. Even if th

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    The secret that changed us...

    ~Isabel~ "We will have to talk after my dad's funeral, Alister, to settle some things. Please take Chloe home," William said as Professor Alister came walking towards the car with Justin. He took my small bag from Chloe's hand and tossed it into the back. Through the glass, I watched Chloe wave a small, hesitant goodbye, her smile faded as William threw the car into drive and pulled out of the police lot. There was only silence between us…i kept my eyes fixed on the road wondering if he was taking me back to the yacht or the mansion. Every few seconds, my eyes shifted to his hands. His knuckles were tightly wrapped on the steering wheel... I know we have things to discuss, but the way his jaw remained locked tight, sent my anxious thoughts into a spiral. "I am sorry for everything making you come to the station…" I started unable to hold it in any more. "Are you serious right now? God! Isabel!" He cut me off. "The one thing I really don't get is why you hid this pregn

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Who did it?...

    ~Isabel~The doctor who faked Juliana’s ultrasound…the one blackmailing Juliana on the recording…was…was gone? And the judge who took Juliana's bribe during the Natrex Chemical workers' case had disappeared?How! What is seriously going on!!Those two were crucial witnesses to prove Juliana's crimes with the evidence i got...was someone helping her from the outside, or had she arranged their disappearance even before her arrest?Just then the doors burst open.William stood in the doorway with Justin right behind him…both of them on black suits but William looked as though he had aged five years overnight.Another cop moved to block his way, but William brushed past him without a glance back.His eyes were locked onto mine.. his expression darkened as he took in my state with a fierceness that made my breath catch in my throat.‘He hates me.’‘He surely hates me now.’ I thought."I'm here to take her home," William voice boomed through the room as he walked straight to my seat… he g

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    The doctor and the Judge...

    ~Isabel~"Chloe? What's wrong? Is William with you? How's Arthur?" I asked already feeling impatient."I'm sorry, Izzy... Arthur…he's dead," Chloe replied clutching onto the paper bag she came with...I can see her grasp on it shaking."No! What?”“Are you serious? Tell me you're pulling my legs!"I tried to hold her hand but the officer grabbed my arms away...I fought to break his grip... desperate to reach Chloe…to grab her shoulders and force her to take those words back."Isabel," Professor Alister called.He stepped behind Chloe, his coat was wrinkled and his hair looked disheveled from the long night."She's telling the truth. We lost him last night. According to what I heard, he was overstressed and still brought in late.""No!" I screamed shaking my head....I slumped on my knees as my vision blurred with tears...He couldn't be dead…Not Arthur!"Oh shit, William is going to hate me. Oh my God, what have I done!" I sprawled on the floor as the cop tried hauled me up by my armpits

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Nine-forty-eight (William's Pov)

    ~William~ "Are you sure she instigated those photos to be posted?” I asked again, still not believing my ears. "Yes, sir. She routed them through an anonymous entertainment blog before it started going viral." Collins confirmed. I nodded, unable to speak as her betrayal hit harder than anything I had ever experienced… to think she was this kind of a person and my father had seen her as a perfect marriage candidate for me. Juliana… had grown up in the same country clubs as me, attended the same prep schools, walked the same red carpets at events... I had spent two years dating her in university, ignoring her proud nature, assuming she was just a spoiled heiress... I never guessed she was capable of calculating a public scandal while faking a pregnancy to force a ring onto my finger. "It doesn't matter," I said, trying to bury the pain as another thought crossed my mind. "It actually works for us. She's pressing charges against Isabel for privacy invasion and hacking her priv

    ~Isabel~ The ride back from the office was silent. Upstairs, I locked the bathroom door, washed the ink off my face, and changed into the blue fancy dress my mother left on the bed, it was expensive, it felt wrong on me, not even my skin tone, but I wore it to avoid a scene at dinner. Dinner

    ~~Isabel~~ 5:45 AM! It was already morning, my alarm jolted me up, cutting straight through my skull like an emergency siren. I sat up, my heart racing as my eyes try to adjust to the dim light in the room. The sheets beneath me felt too soft, a mocking reminder of a luxury lifestyle I hadn't

    ~Isabel~ I didn't stop walking fast until I reached my room and the door clicked shut. I leaned my back against the cool wood, finally letting go of my breath that felt like it had been stuck in my lungs forever. My hands were trembling with nervousness. I started pacing across the floor, fe
