Falling for my husband's Brother Chapter Fifty-Three
A short silence stormed in. Raymond didn't look like he was going to tell her anything.“What do I need to do to calm you down?” Isabella asked, breaking the silence.“I am hungry.” He answered and stared into space.“Let's eat together. I will consider it as a gift.” He added, looking more serious than ever.Isabella's eyes shot a shocking glance at him.Did she just hear him say gift? If eating with him is a gift, what then would he call what had just transpired between them?“We can share the leftovers from what Linda prepared earlier.” Isa suggested but she saw him making a scowl.“I only want food made by you.” He responded, avoiding her gaze.“You’re such a jerk!” She cursed under her breath, crawling out from the bed. She walked straight to the passage leading to the kitchen.Time wasn't on her side. Earlier, she did a quick check and calculated the time it could take for her to prepare the simplest meal.She has chosen the noodle with one of the simplest recipes. She has to wr

In a matter of seconds, the noises slash arguments died down. Everything normalized except from Isa's perturbed face, swimming in absolute curiosity while her ears stood erect like antennas.She was staring at him with every gusto in her, wishing that he doesn't divert to another talk. She was desperate to hear everything once and for all. She racked her brain, searching for traces of any other flower that she might not have recalled or any other flower different from the ones she had seen at Bennett's mansion but nothing was coming forth.“The guys I sent to tail your Mom came back to me with a sample of a foxglove plant.” Raymond said, hesitant. Like though he wasn't sure of his own words.How on earth would someone have such a poisonous and deadly plant in a home? What would they call it? A poisonous plant or a decorative thing?Isa appeared more perplexed than he was. He noticed her flustered face and took out his phone to show her the proof.He thought of many things at that mome

She hastily rose and began to walk briskly to the door.Raymond just watched her as she vanished out of sight. He couldn't stop her. She was the only person that could help get the ideal evidence that would be used against Mrs Rhoda Bennett since they couldn't get a warrant to search Bennett's mansion.Everyone seemed to be on Mrs Rhoda Bennett's side. All the complaints being filed into the law firm were opposed in favor of the Bennett's.Why were they finding it so difficult to approve the complaints and grant a warrant? Could it be that they are been silent in order to protect the image of Mr Bennett's family and company?Just then, he recalled that it might be difficult for her to see a cab since the mansion was located along the seashore. He went straight to where his car was parked and jogged in. He turned on the ignition and barely drove up to three minutes before he sighted her.“Hey, hop in.” He said to Isa and wind down the car window. Isa wasn't paying attention to him. A

Meanwhile, Evelyn got a call. She heard a muscular voice at the other end of the phone, asking to meet up with her urgently.She was lying on Douglas's chest, on top of one of the cushions mapped out in a hidden corner of his office. When she first picked up the call, she looked into Douglas's face. She wanted to confirm if he had dozed off. He has been quiet for some minutes and she wondered what he was thinking about.She became hesitant as she noticed it was an unknown number but she still went ahead to press the accept button.She wasn't scared of anything as long as she was in his arms.Placing the phone close to her ear, she heard a muscular voice. She pursed her lips for some minutes and shot another glance at him. He was fully awake, studying her face as she placed the phone close to her ear.She knew he must have heard the muscular voice as well. She made a hidden smirk. Probably, she could use this opportunity to know how jealous he could be.She bit her lips before exchang

She stops between Mr Bennett's room and the door leading to the rooftop. She was lost on which way to go first.She missed him and desperately needed to see him but on a second thought, she needed to look for evidence. She needed to find something that had her Mom's prints on it as a proof.At that moment, she felt like she was in the middle of a deep sea where her hat fell into the sea. She didn't know what to save first.Her or her hat? Assuming her hat was a precious gift from someone precious.Of course, she was going to save the hat and herself. If she saved only herself, she might live to regret it.She glanced at her wrist watch again and scurried towards the door leading to the rooftop but something was amiss.The door leading to the rooftop was locked.How could she find the key leading to the rooftop? Could that be a sign, warning her to back off already before she would get caught?She could hear her instincts telling her not to back off. She could hear a tiny voice assurin

She stared at her Dad. He appeared so pale with bones all popping out from his skin.She was trying her best to hold back her tears. She felt her instincts blaming her for his condition.If she hadn't fallen gullibly to her Mom's words, she wouldn't have gotten married to Douglas.She was so confused at that moment. She didn't know exactly how to lay the accusations on her Mom. It would be a bit hard since she hasn't been living in the Mansion for some years.But she was still full of conviction. She was sure that Mrs Rhoda Bennett had a hand in her father's critical condition.If not, why would she watch her husband get bedridden? Why wouldn't she allow him to get administered to the hospital? Why is she quiet about his critical condition?Couldn't she have noticed that he is dying everyday that went by and he was drastically going blind? Why was she doing nothing about his condition?Isa's hiccups became audible.Her father's look was traumatizing. It was just so unbelievable in her

“Someone found the plant?” Mrs Rhoda Bennett asked, furrowing her brows.“Yes mom. I was so scared. He even told me that you broke down in the process.” Evelyn responded, scrutinizing her Mom's body.Mrs Rhoda Bennett was as confused as ever.“Who exactly told you all this?” She asked, pinning herself down on a nearby chair.Evelyn rolled her eyes, thinking of how to go about the explanation. She could barely recall Mr unknown's baritone voice but couldn't imagine what he looked like.“He said that he is your personal assistant.”“What? And you believed him?” Mrs Rhoda Bennett asked with a scowl.Evelyn's eyes were swimming in curiosity.How would she have known that Mr unknown was lying to her? He had this convincing aura that seemed to possess her through the phone and besides everything he said was the truth.How could she have known that she hadn't employed a male personal assistant when she hasn't slept in the Mansion for weeks?“You should have called for confirmation.” Mrs Rhod

“Why haven't you reported me yet to the corps or sued me to court?” Evelyn bit her lips in bitterness as she watched her Mom making a smirk out of each word she spouted out. “Oh, I understand. You might have possibly sued me but needed some evidence to prove me guilty.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett said between short scoffs. She retracted her hands which were tucked behind her back.The long, black gloves which stopped at her ankle came into view.Formerly, she would take off everything in the bathroom on the rooftop after watering the plants and change back to her normal clothes.But for a few days, something about Evelyn felt suspicious.She guessed that Evelyn had made research of what the plant was about and thought there was nothing to hide anymore. “Now you have all the evidence you need. C'mon, you can take a picture of me on this and give it to the reporters. This is enough evidence.” There were hints of mockery in her voice.“Mom, please stop all this.” Evelyn shrieked, the veins aro

She had a grimace on her face as her eyes scanned through it.“Let me take a look.” Raymond said and she gave it to him. His lips parted in shock and disappointment.He shot a hostile glance at the pathologist and felt like strangling him.“You had the original results in your briefcase, why then did you choose to tell us lies?” Raymond shrieked at him.“I am sorry.” Mr Fabian pleaded with a sober voice.“There's nothing to be sorry about. I know quite well that this is the same reason why the Government is desperately searching for you.” “You go about, giving people fake or forged results. How do you feel after doing it?” Raymond's tenor voice sent cold shivers across Mr Fabian's body.“Do you even think of the damage or pain you bring to those people?” “You hide the truth from those that desperately need it.” He said, his veins all popped out around his neck. He felt a little bit of exhaustion. His last words emerged out with a faint tone.“Who paid you to do this?” Raymond asked

At this point, Raymond couldn't ask for anything more. Their goal was to run an autopsy and walk out with the results, not to make a poor innocent man lose his job.They watched him as he went inside the frizzy room to speak to the anatomist on the phone. Raymond had no choice than to let him do his own part of the deal.“He will be here in at least twenty minutes.” He whispered to them as he walked out of the room.“So we could quickly go out and grab a drink, right?” Raymond requested, cutting an eye for Isabella.“Yes, you can go.” He replied with relief. Raymond seems to give him a hard time.While they were away, he wished they could disappear and never come back. To him, Isa wasn't the problem but Raymond was the problem he had.Minutes later, they both walked back inside the office energetically. Isa was holding two cups of the creamy juice.“You can have this too. You are a good man.” She said and handed a cup to the morgue attendant.He collected the creamy juice with a grin

Raymond couldn't stand it anymore. He couldn't stand eavesdropping on the morgue attendant. He heard everything the latter said to Mrs Rhoda Bennett.He angrily pushed the door open and walked towards the man, stopping some inches away from him.Isabella didn't feel his absence. She was petrified the moment she saw her father's cold body. “Are you trying to sell us?” Raymond started, noticing the man's trembling lips.“What I'm I even saying? You were actually selling us, huh?” Raymond said and saw the man trying to hide his phone behind him but he grabbed the phone from him and went directly to the last call made.His jaw dropped in shock. He had actually assumed that the man was speaking with Mrs Rhoda Bennett but it was only an assumption until now.“So you are her accomplice?” “That's why you persisted on seeing his bio before letting us get access to him?” Raymond asked bitterly.“How much were you even paid?” He asked rhetorically and punched his fist in the air.“You know wha

Isabella and Raymond both narrowed their eyes in confusion. They got their mind wandering like wildfire. There's a lot of dots that need to be connected. For goodness sake, Mrs Rhoda Bennett earlier told the Corp that she went for an urgent business meeting.Since it was urgent, what time did she get to still register Mr Bennett's body to the morgue?Talking of how she walked inside the mansion; like she heard the news on reaching the gate.She even passed out in front of everyone.It could be that she heard the news during the meeting and went straight to the morgue from there.Or what is this whole thing all about? The witch is so smart that nobody has ever caught her in all her acts.“Please sir, what time was Mr Bennett registered yesterday?” Isa asked, curiously.“Ma'am, I'm afraid but I can't tell you anything more until you provide the original copy of the bio used to register him here.” The man replied and pinched his brows.Isa cast a tiresome glance at Raymond.“I can't be

On the express road to the city, Raymond had to ask for directions to the hospital where the ambulance came from.He couldn't bear seeing the look on Isabella's face anymore. She looked so pathetic, embracing the brown envelope like it meant the whole world to her.“Isa, I don't like what you are doing right now.” He mumbled and pressed the deceleration button. “What I'm I doing?” She mumbled, trying hard not to look up at his face.“If you are confident that you did nothing wrong, why then are you avoiding looking up?” He asked, keeping his gaze glued at her.Isa kept mute. She couldn't feel the breeze from the high speed of the car. She imagined that something had gone wrong and finally looked up to check for herself.“Just the traffic.” He responded before her eyes met with his.At that moment, she swallowed a lump. She felt wet tears gathering in her eyes. She must have been deeply in tears that's why she didn't notice it on time and now, Raymond's gaze.She just wished that he d

She stubbornly struggled with him. Corp Bellick's rage heightened instantly. He forcefully locked her wrists inside the cuffs and escorted her to the Hilux.He didn't care anymore. She must have thought that this case would turn out like the numerous cases where they got a special order from the general not to meddle into Bennett's family affairs.Not anymore. Not when Mr Bennett died a cold death. He knew the general and of how much he hated Mrs Rhoda Bennett.Perhaps, he would use this opportunity to reopen her formal cases; the cases that were buried due to Mr Bennett's influence.Mrs Rhoda Bennett turned around and her last gaze fell on Isabella.Isa bit her lips. She could feel the pit of her stomach churned in excitement. This is exactly how she would punish each and everyone of them.She knew that in no time, she would be granted bail. She assumed she would use Mr Bennett's burial as a key excuse.She didn't care, she just wanted to do what she always wanted to do.“An autopsy.

“But you know what, I aren't acting any drama this time around. I'm doing this for the safety of my health.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett mumbled and snapped her fingers.Isa ran her eyes over the latter's body in scrutiny.No matter what she said, she wasn't ever going to take in her words.She felt this was the only opportunity for her to pay her last respect to her father.That last picture of him couldn't leave her memory. She continued replaying his soothing voice in her head. She wouldn't have believed it if someone had told her that it would be the last time she would get to see or speak to her father.At this point, she felt like giving up on everything; her revenge plans. She felt like backing off and running away to a far away land.Because for some minutes, she wondered what would be her yield if she eventually won the battle.Would she be the only person to celebrate her victory? Her Mom and her father have joined their ancestors.What if she backs off and disappears to a far away c

Back at Bennett's mansion, Raymond drove into the compound at a high speed. He drove in with a high speed, not expecting to see any other car in the parking space except for Mrs Rhoda Bennett's car.There was a black Acura parked beside Mrs Rhoda Bennett's car.As she climbed down from Raymond's car, she stared intensely at the car. “It's just a car. Why are you mopping at it that way?” Raymond teased, following her gaze.“C'mon, we have to go in. Once everything is over, I am going to get you exactly this type of car if that's what you want.” He added and jammed the car door.Isa's gaze wouldn't tear off one bit from the Acura car. It didn't seem as if she was staring at the car in admiration.The car reminded her of something.What exactly? She mumbled to herself and racked through her brain.“This car looks familiar, right?” She asked Raymond with a curious glimpse.“I don't think so.” Raymond replied with a shrug.“If you say so.” She responded and turned around to go into the ma

Just as Evelyn walked her Mom to her room, she made her lie on the bed and tossed the duvet over her body, allowing it to stop around her shoulder.She paced to and fro, thinking of the next steps to take. She had heard Douglas offering to walk the Corp around the Mansion, the pit of her stomach churned in uneasiness.What if the Corp finds something?No way, she would definitely go and find them and restrict him from going into some areas.Just as she was about to leave, her Mom called her with a soft voice.“Evelyn, come back.” Mrs Rhoda Bennett mumbled and puffed out hot air, shoving off the duvet from her body.Evelyn was astounded. She turned around and saw her Mom already seated straight up on the bed.She lost her words for a few minutes.“Mom…I thought you passed out.” She stammered, advancing towards the bed.“Hmmm…” Mrs Rhoda Bennett muttered with a scoff. She tilted her neck sideways for a crack.“I had to do what I knew how to do in order to tear off accusing fingers that
