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

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    This Humiliation...

    ~Isabel~We got into her car, and she drove me back to the yacht… to my surprise, she and Sabastine actually knew each other… I found out from their conversation that she used to visit Eleanor here when she was alive… Mom left later that night to head back to the hospital, having received a call that Arthur was being discharged with a full-time, live-in nurse and for once I felt a spark of hope. At least Arthur was well enough to go home.Over the next few days, I hid away on the yacht I couldn't bring myself to face the campus but Chloe sent me all her notes and informed on everything that was going on in school…but today hiding wasn't an option.Chloe had texted me this morning about an important revision class before finals began and I had to go. I kept telling myself Chloe would be there by my side…plus this was my chance to corner Professor Alester one-on-one…to see if he had any updates…or better yet, to finally get that flash drive back because I couldn't just sit around and

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Trading her marriage...

    ~Isabel~My mother stared at me with wide fearful eyes as if she took a horrified step backward, her heels scraped on the pavement of the bridge as she moved."How can you ask that of me?" She asked with a trembled voice shaking her head in disbelief."That's ungrateful even coming from you, Isabel. Why should I do it?”“I can't. No! I won't divorce him!"She turned around rushing toward her car door. Panic flared in my chest, i couldn't let her leave, not when everything was falling apart… i need her now more than ever… i ran after her my fingers wrapped on around her wrist to stop her reaching the door."Mom, please!" I begged the words tore from my throat in whispers. "I'm sorry. I know I sound selfish, but please... think about this child.. think about my baby."I pressed my free hand to my stomach. "This is your grandchild, Mom. I can't just stand by and watch William marry Juliana. Let me have a fighting chance for my baby. I love him!"She yanked her arm free with so much

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    Let the world burn down!

    ~Isabel~ The drive was long, the city blurred past the window as the sky slowly bruised into shades of dark orange. When the taxi pulled up to the stone bridge, the evening air had already turned chilly. I spotted my mother's car parked near the corner, she was standing by a thick concrete railing, staring out at the dark water rushing underneath. I stepped out of the taxi, pulling off the dark sunglasses I had used to hide my face all day. Hearing my footsteps, she turned. Seeing her face made my own feet falter…deep lines of disappointment, sadness, and exhaustion were etched into her skin. Had I done this to her? She was supposed to be on a beach enjoying her vacation in the Maldives with Arthur. Instead, the scandalous news of my affair with her stepson had dragged her back into this nightmare… I walked up and stood beside her. The wind whipped across the bridge, tossing her hair wildly across her face, she flicked the strands away with a shaking hand. "If an

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    The sound of proof...

    ~Isabel~ "What do you want, Juliana?" My fingers clamped so tight around my phone till my knuckles turned white. It never mattered what tone she used… her voice always carried that cold edge, she never had anything kind to say to me I know... the only reason her contact stayed in my phone was strictly professional, because she was my supervisor at work nothing more. "Calm down, Isabel. I just wanted to make one last thing clear," she answered her words dripped with an arrogant drawl. I rolled my eyes, staring out at the restless sea. I could see her cold face perfectly in my mind, the same look she’d worn confronting me at the mansion yesterday… My thumb hovered trembling over the red button ready to cut her off the second I’d had enough. "I don't want William to know I leaked that photo of you two in New York," Juliana continued. "Why don't we keep it as our little secret, huh? Play along… and I’ll make sure all the news about you and your mom gets erased." A bitter lau

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    A price to pay...

    ~Isabel~ The anger i was feeling instantly evaporated into sheer horror. "Arthur was back in the hospital again? Oh fuck... it's my fault... oh God." "My dad had a heart attack, Isabel," William said. I watched his shoulders sag as if the fight had left him. "He was rushed in the early hours of the morning back here in London. Your mom is at the hospital with him right now while everything is turning completely upside down. Our investors... a board meeting... Fuck, when he got resuscitated, the first thing he asked for was the wedding… he wanted it to cover up the scandal and clean up the mess." "I see," I said numbly, nodding my head as my stomach twisted into tight knots... i felt ten times worse than before... i felt like dying right then and there. Arthur... the man who kindly helped me pay my university fees balance, the man who set up Aunt Joey's salon back to standard... he was lying in a hospital bed on the verge of death because of my forbidden affair with his s

  • Sinful Obsession: My Billionaire Stepbrother    His words... Her ruin...

    ~Isabel~ Panic seized my entire body. How did he know I was here? Did Sabastine already snitch on me? "Open the door, let's talk!" he yelled again, his fist banged more loudly than before. I froze in place, hesitating. The truth was that I didn't want to face him. Heck, I didn't want to look at anyone right now, i just wanted to crawl into a dark corner and be left alone for god’s sake! "I am breaking this door down, Isabel, on the count of three…one, two..." My eyes widened, and I rushed over to grab the lock, but before I could turn it, I heard Sabastine's voice outside. "Hold on, Mr. Sterling, I have the key." "Thank you," I heard William reply in a clipped but desperate tone. The sound of the key sliding into the keyhole filled the room, sounding like a ticking bomb… my palms were soaking wet with sweat now. Then the door opened and Sabastine stepped away looking at me with a pitying look. Great. Now I am someone to be pitied? If only I had foc

    ~~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

    Isabel's POV (Thirty Hours Ahead) Twenty minutes later, I pushed open a pair of double doors. The dining room glowed under a giant crystal chandelier. Arthur Sterling sat at the head of the table and laughing at something my had mother said. He looked exactly like his photos: silver at the

    "Just fifteen minutes Isabel" I muttered. That was my countdown to the end of this shift, I had to remind myself that just to get through it. I was moving through the crowded cafe with a tray of coffees balanced on my hand, dodging the elbows of people who paid for coffee with ridiculous amounts
