Chapter 44: Lily's Changes

Meanwhile, as Isabella and Alex drove off, John stood there in amazement as he watched Professor James drive away while Alex also drove away. His mouth opened in amazement. 

“Wow. So is this supposed to mean that Alex and Professor James are intertwined in a weird way and Isabella doesn't know about it?” 

John thought to himself as he scoffed. 

“Wow. Fate decided to play a trick on her and bring them even closer. Very soon they'll get to meet themselves at dinners, and Alex doesn't even know anything about what is going on with Professor James and Isabella.” 

John muttered to himself as he folded his arms, being even more amazed at everything that was about to happen. 

Just then, Alex's sister, Mirabella Osu, walked towards John as she placed her hands around him. 

“What are you staring at? Why are you watching those two cars drive away?” 

She asked. 

“You are about to see wonders. Things are about to happen, and your dear sister-in-law, who you love so much and want your best brother in the world to get married to, you would get to know how cunning, bad, and wicked she is, and most especially the fact that she doesn't care about Alex. Yet you were the one who used your hand to bring them back together even though Alex insisted he wanted everything to be over.” 

John said angrily as he walked away. 

It turned out that Mirabella had explained everything that happened to John and also made sure to mention the part where she was one of the main reasons why they came back together. And John was so pissed about it because he expected everything to end at that moment. 

He was the one who tried to give Alex clues in every way, even messaging him anonymously and telling him things to do. Yet Mirabella just ruined everything by bringing them together and yet still painting Isabella white. 

As John walked away, he thought of a better way to make everything come to an end. For some reason, he just did not like Isabella. And then Professor James was even worse. After all, he was making life a real hell for him in the university. That was more than enough reason for him to make his life a living hell too. 

As he walked away, he could not help but continuously think of what possible plans he could use and how he could get to her and how he could reveal the secrets. Just then he had an idea. 

“Why don't I bring the family together? Since I am very close to my aunt who just got married, this would be a good opportunity for me to discuss with her and tell her to plan a dinner with both families coming together.” 

He thought to himself as he walked away. He couldn't help but jump in amazement, knowing very well that his idea would be one of the best and it would definitely work. 

That way, Isabella won't be able to escape, and James would also not be able to escape. 

As Alex drove Isabella slowly towards her hostel, he turned to look at her from time to time as she was still lost in thoughts, recalling what happened between her and James and how James's presence still had a feeling towards her even though she had already determined and planned that she would stay away from him. 

Only him whispering her name alone made her imagine everything else being the way it used to be. She couldn't help but shake the feelings off as she looked at Alex, who was still staring at her. 

He had already reached her hostel and had parked, waiting for her to come back to reality. 

“I thought you were thinking so deeply that you didn't even notice we have been in your hostel for quite some time.” 

He said to her angrily as he looked away. 

Isabella knew that he was going to get suspicious again, and it was time for her to ease things off before it even got worse. 

“I am just thinking about the wedding, and I imagined myself in that situation. Actually, my imagination was one of the best because you are the most perfect person in the whole world that I would ever want to spend the rest of my life with.” 

Isabella lied, but Alex saw that as the truth and instead blushed happily. 

“Of course, that's why I keep telling you that after you finish, let's just get married. Let's not waste time anymore. I don't want to waste time dating because it is all a waste of effort. Let's just get married, be together, and have a family. That is all I want in the world, nothing else.” 

Alex said as Isabella faked a smile, but deep within her, she did not want that. She was not ready to settle down yet, but at the same time, she was also not ready to lose Alex. 

She looked through the rearview mirror and noticed that Lily was slowly walking towards her own hostel, dressing all sassy compared to the kind of Lily she knew. She was so surprised that even Alex realized it and looked towards her direction as he saw Lily, and his mouth was opened in a gap. 

“Wow, is that Lily? Why did she dress like that? Why did she change her dressing code this way?” 

He questioned as Isabella had no way of answering that question. 

“So I seriously don't know what's wrong with her, but I'm kind of amazed. I never expected her to actually look this way. She looks very good and also unique. I think she finally found her own dress style.” 

Isabella said to Alex, who laughed. 

“There is nothing like a dressing style. She's trying to get a man's attention. I can't believe you are a girl, and you don't know that it's very vital.” 

Alex said to Isabella.

Even with Alex's words, Isabella knew what she was saying. She knew that it wasn't too easy for Lily to just change her character. And even that aside, changing her character this way was just even too much. It was even so suspicious, and that was the reason why she was saying all this. 

That aside, she decided that she would not intervene with Lily. 

Meanwhile, Lily had plans; Lily had everything she wanted in mind, and first of all, she had to start with Alex. Alex needed to be her first prey. 

As Isabella was about to step out of the car, Lily quickly rushed to the car and behaved like she had bumped into Isabella, who looked at her in an angry way. 

“Can't you watch?” 

Isabella said to Lily, who chuckled. 

“Wow, I can't believe you're actually telling me that. Can't I watch? Of course, I can watch, but I just wanted to tell you to be careful. Stay away from him. He is mine now. Know your limits. If I see you around him, I am exposing everything I told you about.” 

Lily said just as she had finished her sentence. 

Alex walked towards them, looking a bit suspicious. 

“When did you two become close?” 

He questioned as Lily quickly pretended. 

“Oh, we are close. Very soon you will get to know we are even closer than you can imagine.” 

She said and then winked at Isabella before walking away as Isabella suddenly felt frightened for her to pretend as she calmed herself down. 

“There is nothing to worry about, nothing is going on. I just bumped into her, and I told her to watch out, and then she's trying to remind me that. Remind me that she's the class representative, nothing else,” she assured him and then walked away into her hostel without even saying goodbye to Alex, who was suspicious.
