Falling for my husband's Brother Chapter Thirteen
Look who Isa met at the door. Her eyes swam in gladness and ran it over Crystal's thin body. Crystal pulled back a little and stormed her gaze all over Isa's body.“Wow.” She exclaimed in a mutter. She has never seen Isa look this hot in a blue lace gown that stopped at her thighs, bearing a bold opening that revealed her back.Isa led her inside the house with a smile and showed her a seat. Crystal became embedded with thoughts. The Isa she knew was styleless. She even had images of Isa wearing shirts in pant trousers replaying in her head or was it just her illusion? Even when she initiates the best shopping mugs to her, Isa would decline over a table heaped with files and documents.“What are you staring at?” Isa asked, noticing the intense gaze from Crystal.“Nothing…just that you changed.” Crystal shrugged with a wave. Isa rose and walked to the fridge. Crystal's gaze followed her. She could be mistaken for a model with her nimble steps, aligning with the unusual twinge between h

“I am sorry if my presence wasn't what you expected to see. My boss wants to see you.” “Sorry for yourself. And who is your god-damned boss?” Isa was about to yell back at him but she held back herself.She was tired and weak. All she needed at that moment was rest. Not going to see the face of one annoying billionaire son. But she urged herself to follow the guard.“It will only take an hour.”“An hour is too much.” She mumbled fiercely back to herself.“Maybe some minutes and I will be done with him. And never go to his house ever again.” She cursed under a deep breath and got led by the guard.Isa walked into Raymond's Mansion with faint steps. She wanted to appear strong in Raymond's eyes but her appearance would likely betray her. She was battered emotionally, not aware of her own footsteps. Not also aware that the guard wasn't following behind her anymore.When she finally arrived in front of a giant, polished door, she turned around and didn't see the guard. It was then that s

Isa stares with open mouth as they arrived at the L-shaped kitchen. It was so enormous that she felt that someone could get lost inside of it. Raymond lifted her and placed her on the kitchen unit. She really wanted to help out but got declined by him.She watched him opening one of the under counters and wished she could see the contents of each pantry and cabinets.She wondered what he was making to be perceiving such a sweet fragrance of mixed spices. She looked at him and admired him. Every movement he took made her throat inch for his food. She even wondered who taught him how to prepare food.“Who taught you how to cook?” Isa asked, breaking the deafening silence. He smiled and tilted his head as if thinking of what to say.“The chief cook did. She was like a mother after my Mom.” Isa was surprised to hear him say he had a Mom.“Is your Mom in this house?” She asked, astounded but he scoffed.“I am just playing my card of safety, you know. I know you won't be doing this if your

What seemed like a deafening silence drifted in. Isa stares into his tender face and all she could see was a strong desire, lust and want for what she couldn't fathom.His words resonated a strong urge in her to ask him more questions. To ask him who he was currently into. She wanted to laugh at his words, hearing that he was currently into someone.She knew that was a bittersweet lie because he had several classes of girls lined up for him and was dying to be his girl. Girls that are ready to do anything to make him see them.She smiled again at the thought that a billionaire son like Raymond would settle down for only one woman when several pretty women were dying for him.It was hard to believe his words but she couldn't ignore the powerful aura of genuine authoritation she was getting from him.Her mouth was watering to ask him.“Can there be an additional question?” She puffed, nerve-wrecked in nervousness.Raymond nodded with his storming dark eyes, staring intensely at her unus

“You can't possibly be my son's wife.” The elderly woman yelled at the top of her voice. Isa just stood, dumbstruck. She had no idea that the grumpy old lady standing before her was Douglas's Mom. Nobody ever talked about her so she didn't know what she would look like.Isa gazed at the woman's face. A thick brown, rounded face with one side of her cheek steeped by wrinkles. Seeing her, made the picture of Mrs Rhoda Bennett appear in her head.There seems to be not much difference between them. The woman in front of her could even be worse.The guards and maids trotted into the kitchen on hearing her loud voice. She turned around and faced them.“When did Douglas get married to this thing? This was not the woman he talked to me about.” She asked the guard with a fierce voice, it flowed out like a storm battering across their faces.The guard pinched his beards and threw a pitiful gaze over her shoulders, at Isa. He knew Isa's situation and needed to explain things to Douglas's Mother

“What? Which Contract?” Evelyn asked, hoping she heard wrongly.She didn't hear wrongly. Earlier that morning, Douglas's cell phone vibrated on his desk. He thought it was one of the numerous requests from small companies to partner with him.Many companies requested partnership with him but he declined all of them because they weren't big companies. His interests lay only in top companies that could help skyrocket his company to the top list as well.He was fond of ignoring those messages but something unusual strucked his heart to open the inbox. With his head softly placed on the headrest, he searched the desk with his long hand, bumping into several files before his fingertips touched it.He suddenly straightened up himself seeing the message's subheading bearing the Commissioner for the department of housing preservation and development. He clicked on the message to open and was petrified for some minutes at what he saw. The commissioner suspended the Hudson yards contract!“But

Isa picked up her cell phone and dialed the Doctor's number. Her hands went numb as the phone began to ring at the other end. She became a bit infuriated as per him not answering the call.Isa's face twitched with gloom. Why was the Doctor not answering her calls? Was he avoiding her call because of her predicament or what? She called his line again but it only rang and ended. She heaved a sigh and dropped on the bed, staring intensely at the ceiling. Her instincts told her that he might be handling some patients and couldn't answer her call.She was about to ask him if he could give her any other assignment. The one he gave her seemed really tough for her. She didn't have anyone that could help her accomplish them. Not even her husband who was always busy with work and never had her time.At a point, she even wondered what making wishes got to do with her therapy. She needed to figure out a way instead of burying her head in deep thoughts. She rose, walked to her window and peeped

“How did you know it was my first wish?” Isa said in whimpers. Her face glimmered with curiosity.“From your jotter.” Raymond mumbled, putting on an apologetic look. He felt sorry for invading her privacy.Her gaze followed him to the stunning view of a dining table. She gasped at the sight of the red canopy decorated with endearing star lights and furrowed her eyebrows through the beaded curtains hung on the entrance of the canopy.She forced her gaze through it and saw well selected wine bottles, cocktails and several mouth watery food.He returned back to her, holding the jotter in his hand. She wanted to ask him how he got the jotter. It dawned on her how far her mind has traveled at the alluring sight of the dining table. Her mind has already left her body.How come she didn't notice when he walked in and out of the canopy? Raymond glanced at his wrist watch.“It is almost time.” He mumbled, taking the lead. She followed him, narrowing her eyes like a small child. She felt like

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
