All Chapters of My Secret, My Stepbrother : Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

ISABEL"Jane, you have nothing to worry about, you are surrounded with people who love you. I really love your simpleness and I fell in love with it the first day I met you." I said hoping to make her feel better.At once, the bitterness that was starting to form on Jane's face began to fade. A blush formed on her cheeks, and there was relief in her eyes. She looked at me and said, "I never thought anyone would appreciate my simplicity, but you do. And it means the world to me. Thank you Isabel."I enjoyed watching her as she stirred the content in the frying pan. But soon, I got busy with what I was doing. I turned the fruits I to the electric grater and waited, tapping my foot on the ground in a swift rhythm.Soon, Jane was done. She poured the content in the frying pan into a bowl plate and left the kitchen with it. As she left the kitchen, I could hear her humming a happy tune. It was obvious that she was in a good mood, and I couldn't help but feel a sense of satisfaction at havi

ISABEL I heaved and took two more steps from Mavis' door. I knew he was going to give an odd reaction which was why I decided to keep the information to myself, but then, he needed to know about it if I truly loved him.My hand hovered over the doorknob but I couldn't just push it down. I stopped there and began to think about what had just happened. Did Mavis really send me out of his room? That would probably be the end of us. I shook my head, trying to dispel the negative thoughts. I knew that Mavis cared about me, and I couldn't believe that he would end our relationship over this. I took a deep breath and walked into the room, closing the door behind me.I approached a chair and sat on it. Soon, I started to regret telling Mavis about dating Jason.I could feel my heart beating faster as I sat down, my hands clasped tightly in my lap. I knew I had to be brave, but it was hard to find the courage I needed. I closed my eyes for a moment, trying to gather my thoughts.I sat on the

ISABEL"Hi, Mavis." I rushed out of my room, to deliver an important message to Mavis. Amelia's eyes caught up with mine and I paused. It looked as though she needed something from him. "Alright, I'll just wait here until you are done," I said, clearly avoiding the disappointed look on Amelia's face. "No, we are done," Amelia said, feigning a smile. "I and the kids have a party to attend, see you later in the evening." She feigned a smile and swayed her waist while walking away.Mavis was looking at her when he caught my eyes, he shook his head and sighed. "I should just fire her, what do you think?" I rolled my eyes, "Why would you think of doing such? What wrong has she done?""I think she's just trying to lure me into something I wouldn't love to be a part of,""I see that she finds you attractive too, and that's a problem to me. I'll try to ask her playfully, she might want to open up to me. I'll start by joining them for the party.""That's not necessary, I need you to be at h

ISABEL"But, are you still in love with him?" Bennett inquired for the hundredth time."Shh, he's back," I said, gathering the glass cups on the table when Mavis drove into the car park."I don't want to talk about it right now," I said, hoping she would understand my reason for saying so. "I'm sorry if that's rude, but it's just not the right time,"She nodded, a thoughtful expression on her face. "I understand," she said. "I was just eager and can't wait for us to get to your room and talk freely."She smiled and I did the same though stylishly, so that Mavis' who was already out of his car wouldn't suspect that we were talking about him.Bennett had been away, working for a Scottish billionaire. According to her, she ran away from duty after he began to make advances at her.She wasn't looking different, just a little bit healthier and taller than she used to be. And she was overexcited about how things turned around and I got to be Mavis'step-sister. She was so much interested in k

MAVIS Isabel started typing messages on her phone. Soon, my phone went on and a message dropped in. BENNETT MOVED TO ONE OF THE GUEST HOUSES. I'LL BE IN HER ROOM FOR AN HOUR OR LESS, MEET ME IN MY ROOM LATER.Wow, I was both happy and curious as to how she was able to convince her because it seemed like she had resolved to spend a night with her friend.I couldn't help but feel impressed by Isabel's persuasion skills. It seemed like an impossible task to convince someone to change their plans at the last minute, but somehow she had managed to do it.Moments after we were done eating, I bumped into Isabel in the lobby, it seemed like she was heading toward the guest apartment."I want to meet Bennett now, as soon as I'm done, I'll call your phone." "What did you say to her?" I asked, my curiosity getting the better of me. "How did you convince her to spend the night with you?"She just smiled and winked at me. "Let that be my secret," "Okay, okay," I said, raising my hands in surrend
