All Chapters of Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother : Chapter 71 - Chapter 80

~Isabel Pov~“As you know, my family also runs a law firm,” Professor Alister explains, leaning forward slightly,“We had some clients lodge a complaint about a company they were working for, specifically about the kind of chemicals they were being exposed to on a daily basis, some of the workers were falling sick, and some developed serious health issues as a direct result, It all happened because they were not paid enough and never provided with the necessary safety measures, we actually had some solid evidence to win the case but to our surprise, the company had already hired the Vane law firm for the case too, I don't know exactly what happened behind closed doors, but somehow, we lost the case. So, I got curious. I have been actively investigating them for the past six months.”I sit back, absorbing the weight of his words. My mind immediately jumps to the darkest, most realistic explanation for a sudden loss like that. “You think they paid the judge or something?” I ask, think

~Isabel~ I was completely confused now, and I think it was showing on my face. "So if I slept with my ex, I expect you to be angry and not to forgive me because I can't even forgive myself," William said. "I have been burdened with guilt to the extent that I can't face you or pick up your calls, and you waving it aside like it was a simple hug?" I wanted to say something, but he put his two hands up as a sign for me to shut up. I swallowed back my words, feeling the hotness of his anger fill the room. "I just want to know something," he says, laughing, but it was a bitter laugh. "So let's say the reverse was the case and you slept with someone by mistake of course..." "You would not," he says, emphasised the words. "But hypothetically speaking, if it happens, would you think it's fine?" he asks. I looked at him, dumbfounded, as he glares at me. I opened my mouth, not knowing what to say, but because of the look on his face, I replied, "No... of course not!” “It's ju

"I need to go back to the mansion," I said, snuggling deep into William's naked body.We have just been lying this way together for an hour after that super hot sex. The warmth of his skin against mine is comforting, a brief sanctuary from the reality waiting for us outside this room, but the clock is ticking and the real world doesn't pause for long."Rest a bit and I will escort you back," he said in my ear, then kissed my earlobe.I feel the tickle down in my stomach, a sudden flutter that makes me catch my breath, i turn over to look at him, searching his face, and he kisses me softly on my lip, nose, and forehead. "Come on," he suddenly gets up, dragging me with him. "Let's go take a shower, I will wash you up."Now that's sweet. I giggle like a child and let him drag me toward the bathroom, the cold air of the room hitting my skin the moment the covers are pulled back. The water felt warm and soothing, sampling over it as it cascades down our bodies. He takes the bathing f

~Isabel~Umm…its ... you know William was back home just some moments ago, he was meaning to speak with his dad, and then he got a call. That’s when I heard that Arthur was rushed into the emergency room," I explained to her, the panic making my throat tighten."Oh, so..so he’s on his way here then?" she says, her words were trembling through the speaker. I can hear her sobbing now, "What do I do? Oh my God." "Bel," she cries."Hey, mom, calm down, okay? Where are you?" I ask her"I... I’m at the waiting area in the hospital."“Okay, okay. Deep breaths” I say to calm her "What hospital? I need to be there," I say calmly, forcing a composure I don't feel, deep down I was already freaking out.For my mom who's always carefree and unbothered with things to be crying about this, then something serious is going on, it is a total nightmare. The line goes quiet for some time, I checked my screen to know if the call was still on, staring at the running timer."Hello? Mum, are you stil

~Isabel~"I am not leaving yet I have to stay behind too, besides I came with my car," I told him as he was about to drive off. He pulled his hands away from the steering wheel, placed them on his thighs, adjusted himself on his seat, then turned to look at me. "Is it the best thing to do? Your mom is already going to watch over him for the night," he said. "How about you go home, rest, then we can come back as early tomorrow morning? You could get new fresh clothes and breakfast for your mom," he added.I thought about it and he was right. The doctor already said he was still sleeping and needed uninterrupted rest for twenty-four hours so they could monitor his brain waves. It's better to do what William suggested. Honestly, my chest felt heavy and I was freaking tired to the bone. The confrontation, the endless arguments, the weight of everything crashing down at once... I didn't just want to sleep; I needed to escape into a straight six hours of absolute silence.I thought o
