~Isabel~

"Who are you trying to stay away from, 'Bel?" he asked.

I kept staring at his bare chest and how those black sweatpants were hanging low on his waist. I knew I should look away, but my eyes remained locked on him.

"No one," I lied. forcing myself to look up from his waist. I met his eyes. "I was just thinking out loud,"

He took long strides from the door to where I was sitting on the stool. His bare feet made no sound on the floor as he stopped right in front of me, reaching out he gr

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Night of Secret...2

    ~Isabel~I froze. The room suddenly felt ice cold. "What?" "No," I snorted, shaking my head fast. "She won't go that far."Chloe cocked her brow at me intently, clearly not buying my denial."She won't," I said again, mostly as if trying to convince myself. Juliana was mean, sure, but drugging someone? That was a crime. That was insane. "Will she?" I asked as the terrible thought took root in my head."You know William more than I do, do you think he would lie to you, Izzy?" she questioned, looking at me with pure sincerity.I just sat there, the gears in my mind grinding together as I thought about him…I wanted to defend him instantly. I would have said no. He could be a bully, commanding, harsh, closed off, difficult, and totally nonchalant. But he had never lied to me…not when I confront him about anything, except maybe keeping me in the dark about his marriage or engagement, as the case may be with his ex. He was too proud to lie.But what if Chloe was right? What if she dru

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Night if Secret...1

    ~Isabel~"Say something, Isabel. Please, don't look at me like this?"Chloe's voice was a fragile whisper, she sat perched on the edge of her bed, her fingers picking at the seams of her top. "This look... this look was what I was running away from. I can't bear it on your face. Or Marcus's. Shit! I can't even face Professor Alister now," she cried out, her voice rose in panic as she buried her face in her hands. "Please, say something!" "I don't... I don't know what to say, Chloe," I finally managed to stammer out, the air felt thin in the room. "What do I say? 'It's fine?' 'It's okay?' I mean, Shit!"I swallowed my next words before they could spill out and make things worse. Shock was an understatement. In my wildest dreams, this? This never crossed my mind.Chloe and Professor Alister? As the silence stretched out between us, I couldn't help but look at her shaking shoulders. I wondered if this was how she felt when I told her about William at first. Or when I finally broke

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    The Confession...

    ~Isabel~ "Hey," I said gently, uncoiling my arms from my knees and reaching out to take her hands. I held her palms between mine. "What is really wrong? Are you angry with me because I left you with Professor Alister that day? If this is what this whole silent treatment is about, then I apologize, Chloe. Truly. I know I can be a bad friend sometimes. I was wrong, and I shouldn't have just walked away and left you there…" "No.., no…, Izzy," she interrupted, cutting me off as she vigorously shook her head, dragging her eyes away from mine. I noticed the skin around her neck and cheeks flushed red. She refused to look me straight in the eye, her attention remained glued to her duvet between us. An uneasy feeling settled in my stomach. "Then what is it? What is wrong?" I asked, my voice rose a bit as my confusion turned into pure frustration. "You even broke up with Marcus out of nowhere!" I yelled. I couldn't understand this sudden shift in her attitude, this wall she h

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Courage to tell...

    ~Isabel~"Hey Chloe," I called, moving closer to her. She dropped the small notebook and pen she was holding on the counter, the plastic clicked hard on the surface. "You came all the way here?" she asked, placing her hands on her waist."Yes, I had to come find you. You've been ignoring me for days now. You said you'd call back the last time we spoke on the phone, but you haven't," I explained, looking her over. My chest felt tight, but I forced my voice to stay level. I was studying her face for any sign of a breakdown, any justification for why she had ignored me for days and left me drowning in my own thoughts. Watching her she didn't look any different or sick. In fact, she was glowing, her skin clear and her hair neatly pinned back. So what could be wrong? It seemed I was the only one carrying a visible weight of my issue on the outside.She sighed just then, a voice cleared behind us. We both turned to the man behind the counter as another young lady came to join Chloe fr

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Dead Screens and Burford...

    ~Isabel~His head snapped toward me, his eyebrows drawing close together before his lips parted into a small smile. I didn't even know where the question had come from, it had just slipped past my lips before I could stop it."Love," he said, shaking his head. "Yeah, a long time ago.""What happened?" I whispered.My eyes drifted over him, noticing the small details I usually overlooked, his curly hair was trimmed much shorter than before, at the office, he always wore a vest sweater over his shirt, but now, Now, with just a shirt stretched across his shoulders, I could see he was lean muscled while William was thicker. Shit! I swore, I had compared him to the person I wanted to take my mind away from. "She fell out of love and ended things," he shrugged, his eyes still on the road.Fell out of love, I thought. To be completely consumed by someone one day, then the next, the feeling just evaporates into nothing? How? If you fancy someone, you fancy them. How do you just turn it o

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    A wreck and a mess...

    ~Isabel~ I scoffed at the message "push him?" He was the only one who had not only pushed me but stomped on my heart. My fingers tightened on the edges of my phone, holding back the heat rising in my throat as I bit down hard on my tongue. The nerve of him to come meet me for a talk after spending time with Juliana, counting the number of times i had seen them together these past few days was annoying, a knot tightened in my chest that wouldn't loosen. Oh, William, how could you play me this way? How? "What's going on with you and William?" Jax asked. He peeled his eyes away from the road to glance sideways, his gaze dropped to my grip on the phone before his chin jerked back toward the windshield. "Nothing," I said, my voice flat. He shook his head, his hands shifted on the steering wheel. "That doesn't look like nothing, Mayfield. Did you see what he did? He nearly created a scene just now," Jax stated. Not nearly, he created a scene, he just stopped because maybe Jul

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Was He tracking My phone?

    ~Isabel~“How”? I spoke out, still conflicted. I stood paralyzed in the middle of the buzzing cafeteria, staring down at my phone until the screen blurred. William’s words felt like a physical hand around my throat again. My brain was firing off a million questions per second, he was supposed to

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    A Shadow I can't escape

    ~Isabel~Marcus must have felt the tension because he straightened up, cleared his throat and looked at me with a bit of sympathy, then leaned down and pressed a lingering, soft kiss to the top of Chloe’s head.“I’ll leave you two to talk. See you later, Chlo.”He walked away, leaving a gaping hole

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Hiding a Boyfriend?

    ~Isabel~The cafeteria was a total zoo. After three back-to-back classes, my brain felt like it had been put through a paper shredder. The noise of clinking trays and hundreds of people talking at once was usually just background noise, but today, it felt like it was pressing in on me. I dropped

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Hot Professor Alister

    "Why is the hallway so packed?" I whispered to Chloe, my voice sounding shaky. I was trying so hard to look normal, but my skin still flushed. Chloe grabbed my arm, pulling me toward the large lecture doors. "Izy, did you forget? Today is the first day of Corporate Law with Professor Alister. Oh
