Isabella: chuckles darkly YOU THINK STEALING MY MAKEUP MAKES YOU QUEEN? HA! YOU'VE GOT ANOTHER THING COMING.
narrows eyes at Stranger's brother Oh, look who decided to show up. The accomplice to the crime. How convenient of you to join your wife in this little charade.
points at himself incredulously “me?”
snorts derisively Oh, please. Don't act like you don't know what you've been up to. You think I'm stupid?
rolls eyes dramatically Oh, believe me, honey, I'm anything but stupid.
If you were so smart why did you marry my brother
smirks devilishly Well, isn't that the million-dollar question? Seems your dear brother here forgot to mention our marriage was a strategic alliance.
pulls out a folder filled with documents Oh, you want proof? Fine. Take a look at these.
flips to a page and points to a document See this? That's the prenuptial agreement we signed.
slams the folder shut and leans back, crossing her arms And let me guess, your dear brother didn't mention the part where I own 70% of his company now, did he?
laughs sarcastically Well, isn't that the million-dollar question? Seems your dear brother here forgot to mention our little arrangement. But hey, who can blame him? He's always been terrible at handling the business side of things.
smirks maliciously Oh, I want your brother to crawl on his knees and beg for forgiveness. And maybe...just maybe, I'll consider giving him a chance to redeem himself.
That’s not going to happen
In the ensuing days, Stranger's brother attempts to make amends by groveling at Isabella's feet, but she remains unmoved, demanding more than just words to prove his sincerity.
stands up and stretches Well, isn't it? Your brother had his chance, and he blew it. Looks like I win in the end. smirks triumphantly
raises an eyebrow at Stranger So, what's it gonna be? Are you gonna try to meddle in my affairs too, or are you gonna leave well enough alone?
grins wickedly Ah, you want to play hero, huh? Go ahead, save your pathetic brother from his own mistakes. But remember, if you cross me...
leans in close, her voice dripping with venom If you cross me, I'll make sure your brother regrets ever crossing paths with me.
sits back down, picks up her phone and starts dialing You know what? I've had enough of dealing with these losers. I need some real company.
answers the call with a smirk Hello, darling. It's about time you called. I've been waiting for you to come and make things right.
rolls her eyes impatiently Cut the crap, sweetheart. I know you've been avoiding me. But guess what? Your avoidance won't work anymore.
smirks Oh, because I've got a little surprise that will make you come running back into my life, begging for forgiveness.
leans in closer, whispering conspiratorially I've found someone else who's willing to make a deal with me.
