This ride back to the Sterling manor was supposed to feel like a victory lap. I had survived the cameras, handled the sharks, and saved the project. But inside the Bentley, it felt like I was being transported to a high-security prison.

William sat in the driver’s seat, his face looking like it had been carved out of stone. He didn’t look at me once. He just stared at the road, his knuckles white against the steering wheel.

"You realize," he finally said, his voice a low, scary growl that made

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

    ~Isabel~I walked back upstairs to my bedroom, leaving the quiet kitchen behind with my plate of food, I had tried to swallow a few bites, but my throat felt too tight to eat much. Sitting on the edge of my bed, I pulled my phone from the vanity table, it was 2am, since William had left by now he had to be back at his personal condo.I dialled his number pressing the phone against my ear, listening to the long empty rings. One. Two.Three.Four times,But it only went straight to voicemail, I cut the line and tried again, but the result was the same. He was deliberately letting it ring out.My chest tightened with panic. Was he okay? Did he get back to his residence safely? I opened our chat and typed a message.‘Hey, what's up? I saw you leaving late in the night. Are you okay?’The message was delivered, but no bubbles appeared to show he was typing. I waited ten minutes, staring at the screen until my eyes burned, still nothing, I typed another text.‘Please call me back when

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Facing questions and Ultimatums...

    ~Isabel's POV~The ride back home was completely quiet, no one said anything at all. When we finally got to the mansion, I moved straight up the stairs, heading directly to my room, but the sound of footsteps following closely behind me made me understand immediately that I won't be left alone tonight. I opened my door and slumped down flat on my bed, exhausted.My mom came into the room just immediately after me, I sat up, facing her directly while I pulled out my feet from my shoes."What went wrong, Isabel?" she demanded. "Why did William act that way?""I don't know, Mum," I said, trying to sound as indifferent as possible. "Maybe when he gets home you can ask him yourself?""It clearly had something to do with you, Isabel! I saw him dragging you away from everyone, so don't play the clueless victim now!" she yelled at me."I really don’t know why he reacted that way," I pleaded, defending myself."Come on, Isabel, is William bullying you? Is that what this is?" "You can tal

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Gala ends in a show

    ~Isabel~We came to a slow stop in front of a distinguished-looking man whom Arthur had introduced to me once before. “Dad, meet Isabel Mayfield,” Professor Alister said, gesturing smoothly between us. “She’s actually one of my top students at the university.”His father’s eyebrows shot up, a look of calculating amusement crossing his face. “Interesting. Arthur introduced her to me earlier tonight as his new stepdaughter, but it’s quite a surprise to learn she is also your student.”Alister was caught off guard, a flicker of surprise crossed his features before he quickly recovered his composure. Seamlessly he went on to introduce me to his mother, who was standing gracefully beside his father. As the conversation progressed, I learned that she, too, was a prominent attorney, watching the effortless way they spoke, the pieces finally clicked together in my mind. Now I understood exactly where Alister had inherited his formidable intelligence, his parents were a literal powerful

    ~Isabel~She smiled, shaking her head slightly, then leaned in close and whispered back, "I'm not a child, Isabel. I see the game you're playing. Don't lie to me, I saw your shoes by the door. I even took a picture of them." She added this last part, whispering even closer to my ear, I panicked inside. ‘She took a picture of my shoes?’ My mind raced wildly. ‘Think, think, think, Isabel! Say something to convince her they aren't yours!’"Mmh." I snorted and forced a bold smile, desperately trying to look confident instead of terrified, though I could feel my hand trembling violently against the glass cup I was holding. "And what makes you think those shoes were mine? Juliana, are you obsessed with me?"Her eyes widened in utter shock at my sudden counter-question, and she nearly choked on her own breath. She let out a loud, sharp burst of funny laughter that actually brought tears to her eyes. The outburst caused a few people standing around us to turn and shoot her a disapproving

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    A night of Lights and Shinny things...

    ~Isabel~After napping for a while to catch up on some much-needed rest, I went back to work, briefly writing my report on my laptop and adding one more day of the week to clock in to work. Then, I sent it straight to Juliana. It was not up to forty-eight hours yet, so I was incredibly eager to send it and get it off my mind.After I was done, I looked at the time and saw it was already six PM in the evening, I knew I needed to go shower before my mom inevitably barges in with the stylist. Immediately after the shower, almost as if on cue, she knocked loudly. I opened the door to see my mom smiling brightly, and standing right beside her was a man who looked like he truly knew his game in the fashion industry."Mom, you're early," I said, walking back into my room while still wrapped tightly in my towel, my hair still wet and dripping."Early, Bel? We are late!" she replied quickly. "And that's because Mr. Clayton here was slightly delayed, but that's by the way now—he's here now,

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    A Mother's Love?

    ~Isabel POV~The ride back to the Sterling mansion felt agonizingly slow, and my mind was a chaotic storm of runaway thoughts.Every time I closed my eyes, I saw those shoes sitting by the door, if Juliana saw them, she would know without a doubt that a woman had been in William’s room, it wouldn't take much for her to realize that woman was me, his own step-sister. I gripped the steering wheel, my knuckles white, wondering what I would even do if she began to suspect the truth. I supposed I would have to find out tonight at the gala.I finally drove up to the gate, and the sensors triggered the heavy black iron to slide open immediately as they felt the tires of my car. I desperately wanted to stop thinking about William. I tried to tell myself that maybe I was wrong, that he wasn't just using me to get information about my mom or whatever, but the logic was hard to ignore. How could he ever truly trust me or even like me when he was busy suspecting my own mother and having her
