WITH TRUST AND REGRET

This act of Isabel continued for a very long time during the following days. It became so unbearable that Carl had to limit his presence in the house. He naturally never slept in the house and anytime he came, Isabel would find a strange way to pick a fight with him and constantly ask for a divorce. Even still, it didn't change a little bit of Carl's impression of her. He still bought expensive gift for her knowing she would trample on them which she eventually did.

The Snow's on the other hand were really progressing. Thier business was now flourishing with the help of the DelaVega's. Life became easy and simple for them.

One fateful morning, Isabel was in her room when she heard a familiar voice downstairs. She went out to check on the person. As she neared, she began hearing the voices clearly. It was between a certain male and the househelp. Isabel could swear she knew that voice but the question was where. She overheard thier conversation

"Where is bro "

The male asked the househelp. The househelp also replied

" Sir your brother is not around. He went to the office and might not be here soon."

The guy on the other hand said a little surprised

" Really, I just came from his office and he was not there"

The househelp suggested

" Would you wait for him sir?"

" Yeah, yeah... I've even heard he's married. Too bad I couldn't attend the wedding. I have to see this lucky lady that has been able to marry my brother myself. Where is his wife. In fact what is her name"

The guy asked curiously. But before the househelp could answer her, Isabel who couldn't futher hide her curiousity came out from her hiding place. She appeared in sight and upon seeing the guy, she stood there frozen on the ground. The guy also had similar expression, it was as if the sight of each other was of an alien with ten heads. Both of them said in unison

" You "

Isabel quickly said while stammering

" You...you what are you doing here?"

The guy stared at her as if she was the biggest fool on earth.

" Excuse me miss, this is my brother's house do I need permission to be here "

The guy said. Isabel returned his sarcastic gaze and said with a fienged shocked expressions

" Oh... and this is my house "

The guy laughed sarcastically and seriously turned to the househelp almost yelling at her

" What in the seven hells is she doing here. Househelp, why would you allow this crazy girl to enter the house. See because of what you did, she is now dreaming of owning this house. Does bro knows that there's a stranger in his house. What do you want his wife to think of him "

Isabel smiled mischievously and said

" Thomas, you haven't changed a bit still talking without thinking like a lunatic, well at least lunatics sometimes think before they act. Househelp, can you please tell my friend here what I am doing here "

Thomas was clearly fuming in anger now. The househelp slightly shivered at the sight of both of them. God, why did she has to be caught between these two lunatics. There was no way in escaping now. With great difficulty, she managed to say

" S...sir...., she is your brother's wi..... wife, Mrs... Isabel...De....la.....Ve..."

Thomas suddenly roared before the househelp could finish

" Wife my foot. Who on earth would want to marry such a crazy girl like this. Was my brother having an eye problem when marring her "

Even though Thomas had insulted her, she wasn't fazed by it. It was as if she was already inured to them. Instead, she thought of something and said

" So you are his brother. No wonder. I now have a valid reason to file a divorce. I wouldn't want to be married to the brother of a very stupid person. What if he's infected with the disease and pass it on to my future kids. Please, I do not want stupid kids in my family because I am basically smart "

Isabel said with pure and unhidden disdain. Thomas's face was fuming in anger. Not wanting to admit defeat, he retorted

"You, my brother needs to divorce you. I do not want a maniac and wastrel sister-in-law like you lest you pass that muttant Gene of yours to my future niece and nephew. Oh,...spare me that horror "

This time, Isabel's ears and cheeks reddened, if it was to be an anime, smokes and fumes would have puffing through her ears. She was really fuming in anger, but before she could retort, a masculine voice resounded in the room. A voice that comanded respect

" What is going on here "

They all turned to the source of the voice and upon seeing Car, Thomas quickly rushed to him and said

" Bro thank heavens you are here "

But Carl stared at him in surprisingly and asked

" What are you doing here Thomas, I thought you were in Switzerland "

But Thomas ignored his question and said

" Bro, this is no time for this. You are lucky that I'm here, now hurry and divorce this witch before she destroy you. I do not want to imagine what would have happened if I hadn't been here earlier "

Carl frowned and said

" What is wrong with you. Are you drunk?."

Thomas almost cursed

* Shit bro, I'm sober. Can't you see I'm sober"

This time, Carl's frown deepened and he asked carefully

* Do you know her "

* Of course I know her. She is my worst nightmare. "

Thomas cursed. Isabel on the other hand thought

" Well he might make my work easier "

But Isabel never anticipated Thomas next words

" Bro, she even have a boyfriend. I guess they are still dating. I don't think she's innocent. Oh,.... she is not, even I have used her. How can you marry a used material bro "

Carl's face darkened and turned ugly but Isabel's face turned uglier. She felt like she was slapped so hard on the face. She couldn't believe her ears and she furiously yelled

" You bastard... Stupid brat, how dare you. I will make you pay for this..…...ahhhh... idiot how dare you slander me. I'm going to definitely kill you. Chance my name if I don't make you pay "

She charged towards Thomas but heard Carl's voice
