Possession by KATHLEEN HAYAT (best fiction novels TXT) 📖

"I can't believe this!" Isabelle spoke in disbelief as her mouth was spread into a grin.

Emma scoffed at her friend as she huffed. "Oh! Come on Isabelle. I was there with you so that already meant the job was confirmed." Emma spoke, grinning.

Isabelle gave her a bored look. "I was talking about them not recognising me as a girl." Isabelle spoke in a duh tone making Emma now look at her with narrowed eyes.

"What did you expect? I had done an excellent job on you so there was no chance left for that manager to recognise you as a girl." Emma spoke matter of factly making Isabelle to chuckle.

She liked it. She just tricked the manager, how much fun it'll be when everyone will think that she's a guy.

She was really thankful to Emma and her father, because of them the manager didn't ask for any documents and showed leniency towards her, otherwise her plan would have flopped before it could even start.

"Now change your attire, Miss Isabelle or your siblings will think I'm doing dirty with an unknown man in their apartment." Emma spoke while wiggling his eyebrows, making Isabelle make an eww face as they both laughed.

Isabelle went into her room to change the clothes. And as soon as she undid the tight cloth around her bosoms, she literally breathed so deeply as if she was deprived of oxygen.

This will be one hell of a punishment for her!

She changed into her comfy loose clothes and smiled in content. She always loved wearing loose clothes or more precisely she loved to stay comfortable no matter what.

She heard the voices coming from the lounge and she knew Ava and Axel were back from school.

She decided to prank them as she smiled mischievously. She kept her eyes open wide for a while to make tears come to her eyes. And then she made a sad face and went out of the room. She just hoped that her friend hadn't opened her mouth yet.

As soon as they saw her coming the beautiful smiles were wiped off their faces as they saw the sad face of their sister.

Isabelle didn't utter a word as she indicated to Emma with her eyes to go with Isabelle's plan and her friend immediately got up to it and her face changed into a sour one.

Isabelle without a word went towards the open kitchen to make their lunch.

"She looks sad." Ava spoke softly as she nudged her elbow at Axel. "Maybe she didn't get the job." Axel spoke softly in a hushed voice so only Ava could hear and both of their faces saddened as well.

"Belli, you know I got A grade in my maths test." Ava spoke enthusiastically as she went to stand beside Isabelle who continued to prepare the food as she gave a soft pat on Ava's head, rustling her hair lovingly.

It was Axel's turn who came to stand on the other side of Isabelle as he grinned at her. "Belli, I got selected as a captain in my football team." Isabelle shuffled his soft black hair as well but said nothing.

Now both Ava and Axel were at the verge of tears and Isabelle couldn't stop herself anymore from telling them the truth.

"Guys, I-I got the job." Isabelle mumbled with a fake crying voice making both of their heads snap at their sister and the next thing they cried out loudly.

Emma was laughing loudly at them. "You are brutal!" Axel mumbled as he went to sit on the couch in the lounge, his face angry plus revealed whereas Ava glared at Isabelle who was giggling at her as she kept on glaring with crossed arms and then hugged her she also went to sit beside Axel both angry at their sister.

Isabelle immediately prepared the food that is pasta as she placed it at the small dining table of four at the corner. Both the siblings shared a look and went in their room to freshen up as they changed their uniforms and came back sitting on their respective chairs.

Isabelle and Emma also sat as Isabelle served the food on their plates as they silently ate and Isabelle spoke up. "I'm sorry guys but it was fun." Isabelle said the first part in a sad voice and the last part in a teasing voice.

"Sorry isn't enough." Both Ava and Axel said at the same time making her laugh out loud. First she gave each of them a side hug and then started speaking.

"I'm so happy for you Axel as you became the captain of your soccer team and Ava you made me proud for getting A grade in maths test. You both made me so happy and for that I'm going to reward you." She spoke with sincerity as both Ava and Axel grinned now as they know where this is going.

"We are proud of you too, Belle, as you got the job." Axel said all lovingly.

"So we should celebrate right?" Emma asked, wiggling her eyebrows at them. Both the kids nodded in agreement, making Isabelle laugh out loud.

The budget isn't much but they sure can have dinner in a nearby cozy cafe. "So choose my darlings. Pizza at home or dinner at a cafe?" Isabelle asked suggestively, making them all think for a while.

"Cafe it is!" Said both Ava and Axel one by one nodding at each other in agreement.

Isabelle and Emma chuckled at their behaviour as they ate their food and decided what to wear and what not when they went to the cafe.

Isabelle felt content with their happiness. After so much sadness, finally they're getting better. Finally she'll be able to provide more to her siblings. She'll be able to fulfil their wishes, they'll be able to eat good food other than pasta and sandwiches.

She'll work really hard for her siblings and the only family she's left with.
