Chapter 114: A Last Warning

"Get in. I can get angry at you. After all, you are my sister. You have all I've got. If you are betraying me, then that's your own cup of tea," he said to her, hoping that she would still be able to tell him a thing or two.

The car ride back to the police station was a bit awkward between Mirabel and Alex because, of course, Alex did not want to talk to Mirabel, and Mirabel was out of words. She knew at this time she was the one wrong and the one who was supposed to be begging Alex, but she couldn't do it. She was holding that urge to beg him because he was not in a position to accept an apology from her. She continued to fiddle with her fingers while biting her lips, hoping that they would get to the police station any faster. She turned to Alex, and of course, he still had a very deep frown on his face as he sped through the road back to the station. 

She coughed loudly, hoping to get his attention, but he did not even respond to her and instead continued to speed off.

"Why are you doing this? Why are you even keeping this so-called silence with me? Stop it already. I don't know anything. I swear to you. I don't know if Isabella remembers everything. You can talk to her and ask her. In short, I won't stay two feet close to her just for you to know that I don't. I don't. I don't know anything about whatever happened between her and James. I am being serious. At least can you believe your sister for once?" she said to him in an apologetic tone. But Alex did not even reply to her.

"Why are you even doing this to yourself? Why would I want to do anything bad to you? You are my brother. I care for you more than anything. I won't try to jeopardize that care with anything in the world. So can you just stop this already and know that I just want your happiness? Nothing more, nothing less," she added.

Then Alex stopped, making her almost jerk from her seat since her seatbelt was not tightly around her chest. 

"What do you want me to say? Fine, I have accepted the fact that you know nothing about it, and I am keeping silent about it. Yet you are still dragging me into this issue. I don't want to hear any other explanation anymore. I am fine this way; it is perfect. This way you don't know anything. Good. I won't force you," he said to her and then continued to drive as cars behind him began to honk impatiently as they got to the station. He did not even wait for her as he got out of the car, slamming it, and then she followed behind him, rushing to get his attention, but he didn't even turn back for a second until he locked his car.

They got in, only for Isabella to stand up instantly, rushing to Alex as she hugged him. But for the first time since she lost her memory, Alex did not hug her back. Instead, he just stood there coldly, not saying anything to her.

She soon let go of him after noticing how awkward the hug was. 

"Hope you are good," she said to him as she smiled. "I don't know when we are ever going to get out of here; it's been hours. Lily refused to accept they should just try to jail and let me go back. I am tired of waiting here continuously with no results." 

She said to him as he smiled fakingly. 

"We would leave here right now. Once I resolve everything and we sign whatever papers we need to sign, we'll be out of here as quick as possible. I'm also tired of staying here for this long. I don't know what exactly they're talking about that cannot be resolved quickly," he said to her, and then without even waiting for her to reply, he pushed past her and walked towards the police, who were still interrogating Lily, who was now in tears and her hair all ruffled, maybe from all her madness trying to prove that she did nothing to Isabella.

Isabella turned to Mirabel and quickly rushed towards her as she whispered in her ear, "What did he say? What did he want to know?" 

She said as Mirabel looked at her and rolled her eyes. 

"I don't know what exactly you did before you lost your memory. I don't know what you did with James, but if Alex is to ever find out about it, just trust me that you would not be able to escape it, even if you try your fucking best. Now Alex is suspicious, and he is 90% sure you cheated on him with James. He is 90% besides sure that you made the first move. Please, I beg you, prove him wrong. Because I don't know how else to let him know that I know nothing about it. And I know you are having little tips of flashback of what happened. The minute you know what you did, tell him yourself. If he should find out or if James is to open his mouth to say the truth or if Lily should say anything close to the truth, you are gone. You have lost Alex forever." 

Mirabel warned, and without even waiting, she walked away, leaving Isabella there. Isabella tried her best to look calm, but she was shaking from within, knowing what she had done. She had had flashbacks ever since Alex left the room. Everything was coming to her, but yet she was still pretending because she knew what she did was very bad, and there was no way for her to escape it no matter how hard she tried. 

She looked at Mirabel, who turned to her for a second, and then at Alex, who did not even look at her for one minute. And then she knew she had no chance. She had to end everything now.
