~Isabel~

“You should let her go,” A dark haired burly man said.

His voice wasn’t loud and he didn't even need to shout, because it had a low vibrating edge that seemed to physically push the blond guy back.

He saw the stone-cold look in the man’s eyes and scrambled into the crowd.

I stood there, my back still pressed against the cold concrete pillar, but my mind was spinning, trying to reconcile the casual, burly man in front of me.

“You,” I breathed,

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Back to the Office

    ~Isabel~The house felt far too quiet that night. I stayed awake for a long time, staring at the shadows on my ceiling, waiting for the sound of a heavy door closing or the low rumble of an engine in the driveway. But William never came back. I had sent him a text, my fingers shaking as I typed out the question‘Who was at the door?’ but the screen stayed dark. No reply. No little bubbles popping up to show he was typing. Nothing.By the time the sun started to peek through my curtains, I had convinced myself that he probably had another place. A man like William, twenty-six and drowning in Sterling money, wouldn't want to live under his father’s roof forever. He probably had a sleek apartment downtown, something with floor-to-ceiling glass and cold furniture, where he went when he didn't want to be a dutiful son.It made sense. At twenty, I was still the girl living in a guest room, but he was an adult with a life I clearly didn't understand.I pushed the covers back and swung my

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    A Surprising Gift

    ~Isabel~The dining room felt too big that night, William didn’t come down for dinner, leaving a space at the table that made me very uncomfortable. We were almost done eating in a quiet atmosphere when Arthur finally cleared his throat ending the silence."Isabel, I hope you enjoyed the shopping and got everything you needed for the gala?" he asked."Yes, Arthur.”“Mom bought more than enough!" I replied, trying to sound more confident than I felt."Excellent! Now you have to prepare, have you been to one of these before?""No! I'm nervous, too. It’s going to be my first time," I admitted.My mom squeezed my hand, her eyes shining bright. "You will do just fine, Bel. My mom said in a way to comfort me “you have always been a smart girl."I nodded trying so hard to believe her.Arthur reached into his front pocket and pulled out a set of keys, sliding them across the table toward me. "Your mom complained you have no means to transport yourself, She had to come pick you from the ca

    ~Isabel ~"Who could it be?" I whispered. I tried to push against William’s chest, but he wouldn't budge he stayed over me, his eyes locked on the door with a chilling calm.The knock came again.This time impatient and demanding."Isabel? Are you awake, darling?"My mother’s broke from the other side of the door, it was too clear, too close. I felt the blood drain from my face, leaving my head light and spinning, the door handle rattled, but metal click of the lock held it firm, and that was the only thing that stop my world from exploding into a million pieces, I felt my pulse thrumming loudly in my ears."Relax, Isabel. See how you’re shivering."William finally pulled away reluctantly, his movements slow and agonizingly deliberate like he had all the time in the world. He didn't look like a man who had almost been caught with his step- sister in bed, he looked like a man who had just finished a cup of coffee. He stood up, the shadows of the room dancing across the hard outlin

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Take all of it...

    ~Isabel ~“You should leave.”The words felt like a lie the moment they left my mouth, they were thin and shaky, lacking any real conviction. The risk was too much, at any moment, my mother could decide she hadn't said enough about the gala or a maid could knock calling me down for dinner, the mansion was full of eyes, even behind closed doors.William didn't move, instead he stood his ground, “And what if I don’t want to go? You know what I’m here for.”“I do?”A small smile touched his lips, a look that wasn't kind it was a dirty smirk, “Isabel, I can see your eyes. They’re begging me to ravish you, but your lips are saying otherwise. Which should I listen to, huh?”“Someone can come in, William we aren’t on the yacht, we’re at home now, my mother is just down the hall.”He reached out, his hand hovered near my face before his fingers finally brushed a damp strand of hair away from my shoulder. His skin was hot. “Unfortunately, Isabel, I can’t leave until I get what I came he

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Tell me, How does it feel...

    ~Isabel~The iron gates of the Sterling estate groaned as they slid shut behind us, a heavy, final sound that seemed to lock the rest of the world away. Outside, the sky had bruised into a deep, ink-stained purple, and the driveway was filled with cars but no Bentley. No sign of the man who had been in my thoughts all day.The weight of the black shopping bags in my arms felt heavier as I stepped out of the car, they felt like they were filled with stones instead of silks and laces. All through the drive, the voices from the mall had played on a loop in my head. ‘Gold-digger’ ‘Scandalous’. Eleanor.’ The words felt like tiny paper cuts on my chest deep inside. I looked at my mother as she hummed a tune, her eyes were bright and vacant, seemingly untouched by the poison we had walked through. Her indifference was a shield I didn't know how to wear.Upstairs, in my room I spent an hour untangling the mess of hangers and tissue paper, there were dresses I’d never asked for, casual wea

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    ...Stepped into a dead woman's shoes.

    ~Isabel~"Mom, is this really worth the hassle?" I asked, my voice sounded small against the roar of the engine as I slid into the passenger seat, "Any dress will go just fine."My mother looked at me quickly then back on the road. Her hands gripped the steering wheel so tight her knuckles were white stones. "You can't just wear any dress, Bel. You’re representing the Sterling name. Arthur is introducing you to people who can make your career and you need these connections. You will meet very influential individuals. Do you get how big this is?"I nodded, my head bobbing like a doll's. I saw the reason in her eyes, the desperation. If a dress was the price of a law career, I’d wear a suit of armor if I had to.She turned up the soprano music, High screeching notes that felt like they were trying to scrape the skin off my bones. My mother had changed. Her taste, her clothes, even the way she sat, it all looked different, really different from how I knew her when I was younger. It
