Chapter 112: Alex Terror

This time around, Alex knew that he would not be able to get the truth easily out of Isabella. 

Because of course, even if she had a deep secret that she was hiding, she had no memories of it, and even if it would come to a height to be in little flashbacks, he couldn't force her to remember anything. 

But Mirabel. 

Mirabel knew more than enough. 

Just then, he began to put all the puzzles together and realized that even the night where he had a huge argument with Isabella and she came to look for him at home, he left Isabella with Mirabel to discuss. 

After that, Mirabel came to console him, giving him excuses just for him to accept Isabella back. 

Even begging him to chase after Isabella when she left the next morning. 

Not only that, even when Isabella lost her memories, Mirabel was the one in a panic whenever James was around. 

And even when James came to see Isabella at home, Mirabel made sure to block his way and always made sure he did not have his way to even talk to her. 

Not only that, he remembered the night where Mirabel sneaked into Isabella's room and they had a discussion. 

Of course, he did not bother to eavesdrop, but he noticed Mirabel did not know Isabella for so long for them to be so close. 

But suddenly they were so close. 

Mostly at the party. 

When James arrived, Mirabel rushed towards Isabella. 

It was something. 

There was a secret, and he was going to find out. 

The easiest way to find out this secret of Isabella is through Mirabel. 

He walked straight to Mirabel and held her hand, not even explaining to anybody as he dragged her straight outside. 

Mirabel was confused, same with everyone, but they did not bother to interfere since it was a sibling thing and inside their concentration was still fixed on Lily. 

Alex dragged Mirabel straight towards his car, opened the door, and pushed her into the passenger seat, slamming the door and entering the driver's seat as he started the engine and drove straight out of the police station area. 

Mirabel was surprised as she looked at him, her mouth wide open in surprise. 

“What was the meaning of what you just did? Why did you just drag me out that way?” 

She yelled, but yet Alex did not respond to her. 

“What do you expect from me? I don't trust you anymore. I don't know what to believe anymore. 

You are supposed to be by my side. You're supposed to help me. 

Okay, tell me when I'm doing the wrong thing. But instead, you have suddenly turned Isabella into your own sibling. 

Someone you care about, you can't do without. You don't want anything to happen to her. What about me?” 

He yelled. 

He soon parked his car at the side of the express and then looked at Mirabel, his full attention on her. 

At first, she did not say anything and just kept silent. 

Alex could not help but scoff. 

“That is rubbish. That is just rubbish. 

How would you say that?” 

“I don't. I don't have, I am not concentrating on you. I am concentrating on you, Alex. 

I am doing everything for you. But you don't understand. I'm trying to make Isabella safe to make you happy,” Mirabel explained. 

But Alex raised his hand. 

“Stop it, sister. I know I caught you today. It was obvious. I can't even face Isabella and question her because I know you want to back her up instantly. You would want to protect her. 

Look at the way you're protecting her over Lily. Don't you think everyone would get to know that Isabella is hiding something? Because at this moment, I myself know that Isabella is hiding something very serious.” He said to Mirabel as she kept quiet. 

“So what exactly do you want me to say? Oh my God. I am surprised. I didn't know that you were going to find out that Isabella is hiding something. She's not hiding anything from you. Why would you even think she has a secret that you don't know about?” Mirabel said, trying her best to be calm. 

But Alex was not calm. Instead, he was furious. He knew what he had seen. He knew what he was able to understand from both of their conversations. 

Clearly, Mirabel was hiding something and she didn't want even her own brother to know. 

Alex felt so betrayed as he began to laugh again like a crazy person. “Stop it. Just stop this rubbish act. It's enough already. You have done enough already. Your act has to come to an end already. I know everything. I know. I saw it. You are helping Isabella to keep a secret. 

Tell me. Say it out. Let me know. I want to know what it is. Does she truly have a relationship with James? Please tell me. I am your brother. I am all you have. You are supposed to be protecting me. What if I get married to the wrong person? 

Yes, I love Isabella. But what if she's the wrong one for me and she's in love with James instead?” Alex questioned as Mirabel stayed silent for close to ten minutes, not saying a word. 

Of course, Alex knew there was something and his sister was contemplating whether or not to tell him. So he kept quiet, tapping on his wheel, waiting patiently. 

She turned to him and cleared her throat, feeling a bit teary. “I don't know. You might see me as a bad sister. Someone who did not want something good for you. But I am serious. Isabella is the best thing you can ever have.”

At the moment, she is the most sincere person you have ever met. The only person who makes you happy. And that is all that matters to me. I mean it.” Mirabel began, but Alex raised his hand again. 

“I don't care. Don't go around beating about the bush and making anything emotional. There is nothing emotional about this. This is reality and not a movie. Tell it straight to my face. What is she doing behind my back? 

What did she tell you? I knew that. I knew that she told you something. And even now that she's having little flashbacks, she is still telling you something. If you don't tell me today, we would not leave this place. 

Unless you tell the truth. Or else I would make this even much worse.” Alex insisted, and even Mirabel knew at this moment she had to say the truth.
