Chapter 92: Twisted Trust

Hearing those words from Alex and staring at Isabella, who was slowly walking away, James couldn't believe his ears at all. This was something more like impossible. It was definitely impossible for Isabella to tell him anything. He knew how Isabella was keeping everything a secret, how she did not want him to know about what was happening. So hearing this from Alex, that Isabella told him everything about Lily and their encounter confused him totally. But he still stayed silent as he slowly let go of Alex.

“I don't know how else to say this to you, and I don't know who told you something as true as nonsense as that. Because nothing happened. Nothing happened. And I trust Isabella. She would never tell you anything like that. You are just lying. You are just using this as an excuse because she is sick. You are taking advantage of it. Right?” James said to Alex as Alex chuckled.

“Who cares about you? Who the fuck cares about taking advantage because she's sick or whatever? Whatever you're blabbing about, whether she's sick or not, it changes nothing. You are still the same thing, okay? You are a fucked-up professor who doesn't know what he wants. Yes, I am telling the truth again. You don't know what you want. You don't. And I don't plan on making you know that yet. All I just want is for you to stay the fuck away from me and Isabella. I don't want you around her anymore. I know what you're trying to do. You're trying to get obsessed with her so that she would like you, and when she likes you, she will cheat around with you. Well, my girlfriend is not like that. I never dated the wrong girl. So get the fuck out of here,” Alex said as it made James angry.

“Can you just shut up with your blabbing? Can you just shut up about all these maniac things you are talking about? Because I don't even know whether I should slap you on the head for your foolishness or what. You are just so dumb, yet you act like you are so wise. You know nothing. Mostly, you know nothing about me and Isabella's relationship. Just because she didn't tell you anything doesn't mean that I don't know what I was doing, okay? I love her, and that is the truth. She would never tell you. But I decided that I will tell you now instead of keeping it a secret from you for too long. I think it is a good thing you know now: I love Isabella, and I plan on letting it stay that way. Don't force things, okay?” he warned as he let go and slowly walked towards the door. 

But his gaze was still fixed on Isabella as she was looking at him, confused and staring at her confused state. He knew for sure that there was something going on; he just could not pinpoint his fingers at it. “Take good care of her. I expect to see her in school very soon,” he said and then walked away as James became confused. 

“If only Isabella could remember everything, then he would find out. What exactly is James trying to say? Why is James making accusations and claiming that he loved Isabella all of a sudden? Did she remember anything?” he questioned Mirabel as she shook her head.

“No, I don't think she'll be remembering anything anytime soon. We just have to be careful, okay? We shouldn't bring in things that will traumatize her and make her remember her past. I don't think she's ready to remember her past in any way, and we should at least stick to that,” Mirabel said and walked away, now leaving him with Isabella. As she stared at him, she scoffed and then just walked away. 

But he was not ready to let matters go so easily. As he watched her, he couldn't help but continuously think: What exactly was he trying to say? What was James insinuating? What does James know? He thought of all those words, confusing his mind, but yet he could not even get an answer out of all his thoughts. 

“You don't have to worry about him again. You won't be seeing me anymore, so just go and rest. He's just being bothersome. He doesn't know what to do; he doesn't know how to get you to remember him, and I don't plan on forcing you. Anytime you are ready, you can talk to him, okay?” Alex assured her as he held her and walked on. 

But this was a very huge move for Alex now. He had become totally suspicious. Even though he really did not care if Isabella recalled her memories or not, now he cared more than ever. He wanted to know what was going on. What secrets did both of them know? What is going on? Something must be between James and Isabella.

As Alex escorted Isabella back to her room, the only thing that echoed in his mind was how to get the truth. How to get the truth out of both of them, how to get Isabella to remember, and how to force her to say the truth. Because he knew anything that would make her remember, instantly she would begin to lie. And he did not even know how he was going to go about it. But he knew for sure he was going to find out. 

And something suspicious was definitely going on between Lily, James, and Isabella. There must be a good reason why Lily had poisoned Isabella. Now it all began to make perfect sense to him. Now he got to realize that he was not just insinuating things all this while. Something was actually going down, and he was going to find out no matter what. Even if it meant forcing back Isabella's memory.

“You have to remember everything or else my mind would be in a total turmoil.” Alex muttered to himself.
