My Secret, My Stepbrother Chapter 111: Investigation 11
ISABEL The door opened and Bennett preceded mom. "Where are you taking my daughter?" Mom asked in a commanding voice just asked the uniformed men were about to escort me out of my office. The men halted, turning to face her. "We're taking her in for questioning, ma'am," one of the cops replied. "It's regarding a serious matter." Mom's eyes narrowed. "What kind of matter?" Officer Desmond stepped forward. "It's about the accusations she made against an old friend of hers. We've received evidence that suggests she wrongly accused her of stealing an expensive necklace from her Mall, thereby, trying to tarnish her image." Mom's expression changed from concern to confusion. "What are you talking about? Who is this friend?" Officer Desmond hesitated before responding, "A certain Estelle. It seems your daughter has an animosity against her, and we need to clear up the matter." Mom's voice was firm. "My daughter will never lie, are you very sure of that fact? That she wrongly accused he
My Secret, My Stepbrother Chapter 112: Remorse
Third Person POV Just as it seemed like the investigation was going cold, Mavis intervened, holding up a hard drive between his thumb and index finger. The detectives' eyes fixed on it, intrigued. "What's that?" one of them asked. Mavis replied, "The evidence we need is right here. It turns out Estelle was smart enough to manipulate the footage using steganography when she was left alone at the office of the security officer. Isabel was telling the truth all along." He didn't want to do it knowing it'll get Estelle in trouble but he couldn't watch Isabel suffer further. He knew about it all along, she had told him about it. The investigator carefully took the hard drive from Mavis and inserted it into a nearby computer system. As the footage began to play, the truth became undeniable. The evidence revealed Estelle's guilt, confirming Isabel's claims and shedding new light on the investigation. The detectives watched intently, their expressions stern, as the incriminating vide
My Secret, My Stepbrother Chapter 113: The Visitor
ISABELAs Bennett and I arrived home, we were taken aback by the sight of a pregnant lady standing by Eric's gate. Initially, we were too stunned to speak, remaining silent until Lucas drove closer and closer.The pregnant lady, noticing the car, began walking down the path. "Hi, I'm Maria." she said, introducing herself. "I'm looking for Eric, that's his house over there." Her eyes were scanning the surroundings as if searching for something or someone. I exchanged uneasy glances with Bennett, unsure of what to expect of her visit. "Why haven't you called him yet?" I asked, trying to sound unperturbed. "He might not have returned from work, or maybe he's on a night shift," I suggested, attempting to offer a logical explanation. The pregnant lady's expression remained worried, and she replied, "He hasn't been taking my calls. I wonder if you can help me get to him. I really have to talk to him." Her words sounded pitiful and full of concern, leaving me curious about the nature of h

ISABELIn less than an hour, I could hear the ringing of my phone. I picked up and answered. "Hi, were you pulling my legs? Eric asked in his usual jovial manner."I would not do that, it's a serious matter. Where are you?""I just got in the house and I haven't seen a single living thing here," he said amidst laughter.I replied. " Your visitor is waiting at my house," I didn't get any response. "Your visitor is waiting at my house," I repeated, trying to sound calm despite the absurdity of the situation.Eric's laughter stopped abruptly. "What? Who is it?"I hesitated, "You'll see when you get here. Just hurry up, okay?""Okay, okay. I'm on my way," Eric replied, his tone now serious.I hung up the phone and couldn't help but wonder what Eric's reaction would be when he saw his visitor. I got out of bed and made my way to the living room, where the lady was still waiting. She looked up at me with a questionable face, "Eric will be here soon," I said, trying to reassure her so that s

ISABELI felt embarrassed for Jason even after we parted ways. Despite this, I decided to move forward with Eric. I wanted to hold Jason accountable for his actions and thought his wife should be aware of his behavior. I anticipate she would be upset when she learned the truth."I'll come with you, but you have to make Maria feel comfortable," I said nodding at him. "You know her name?" He chuckled. "You mentioned it once during your phone call, and she mentioned it to me too. It wasn't hard to put two and two together and figure out what was going on.""Wow," he said, rubbing his cheeks. "Let's go." "Hold on for a second, let me meet with Bennett first, and then I'll join you."After a brief conversation with Bennett, I rushed off, despite her initial reservations. She eventually relented, allowing us to proceed with our plan. Meanwhile, Maria was taken to Eric's house, but it took some time to persuade her about our destination.As I settled into the front car, I secured myself
My Secret, My Stepbrother Chapter 116: Rescue Team
ISABEL "Isabel, there's no escape for you. None of you, but if you'll cooperate with me, I promise I won't harm you. But if you think you can outsmart me, you're sadly mistaken. I'm not someone to be trifled with." Turning to the women who cowered in fear, he demanded, "Which one of you is responsible for this betrayal? Who among you conspired with her to bring shame upon me? After everything I've done for you, is this how you repay me?" "We apologize, we have done badly, forgive us." One of them volunteered to plead on their behalf. "There's no need for apologies. Tonight, you'll make amends. You'll provide a service, free of charge. Are you all prepared? It's the only way you'll leave this place alive." I couldn't help but feel bitter with myself as things took a turn for the worse. But then, I remembered something and a smile spread across my face. "You've made a mess of yourself, Jason," I said, chuckling. "I know, and you have no idea what that means for you" Jas

ISABEL"Drive home, I can't reach him," I said."But why?" he asked, his brow furrowed. I took a deep breath before responding, "I no longer have his number. I got rid of everything that concerns him." The words hung in the air, a testament to my determination to move on and leave the past behind. Eric nodded understandingly and returned his focus to the road ahead.As we turned into the estate, the car that had been trailing us came to a halt, then reversed and sped away into the night. Seeing that, I let out a sigh of relief, my hand on my chest. "Phew, that was a close call!" I exclaimed, smiling at Eric. But his expression remained serious. "Are you supposed to be happy?" he asked. I realized my mistake. "Why not?" I replied, my smile faltering. "The car had just followed us home, now whoever it was knows where we live. I hope they don't come back and catch us off guard." Eric said. "We need to be vigilant," he advised bringing the car to a halt. As I stepped out of the car, I
My Secret, My Stepbrother Chapter 118: What if?
Mavis Today, my father's urgent request to return home immediately left me with a sense of trepidation. I knew instinctively that it was connected to Estelle's alleged pregnancy that was all over the internet. That woman was capable of manipulating anyone and anything to get what she wanted . She had already framed Isabel, stolen from her shop, and deceived me into believing she was innocent. I dreaded to think what other agenda she might be plotting, and what my father wanted to discuss with me about the whole ordeal. I received a scary message last night that Isabel was in grave danger if left alone. Due to our complicated relationship and the fact that I'm likely her greatest enemy, I knew I had to act indirectly to ensure her safety.
