"I'm really disappointed in you, mom." I said and she raised an eyebrow in surprise.
"Why?" She asked.
"You didn't tell me anything, you lied that dad went to look for a job in Singapore, I didn't even suspect everything." I answered.
"How does it matter to you if I tell you or not?" She asked in a low-piqued voice.
I drew a shaky breath. "It does, I don't want to be in a marriage where my husband ends up taking care of my family." I answered and she laughed.

I expected Lisa to be anxious but she wasn't even at the venue, it was already almost time for the wedding.I managed to smile at the priest, my cheeks hurt from forcing an excited face. I gave specific invites, I only invited Amanda and she probably brought James along because he was also there.He walked towards me and I looked at him. "Are you waiting for your bride?" He asked."It's none of your business." I answered.

Lisa's POVI winced at the white light that singed into my pupils as I woke up. I clamped my eyes shut, turning my head to the other side as I heard voices. "Boss, she's awake." I heard a male voice.My throat was rough and sour as air scratched it's dry walls like sandpaper on a wood. A gun cocked and I stiffened in fear."My love." I said and stared at the daring eyes that looked at me. "James!" I exclaimed, shocked.He scrunched up on his face, his eyes darting towards me as he smiled. "Were you actually expecting to marry Alex?" He asked."You bastard!""You look so dejected, poor Alex must be so worried, he doesn't know that you've been kidnapped." He said.My lips quirked as a brief, distasteful laugh made me shudder. I wanted to punch him but I realized my hands were tied."You're a psycho." I muttered with a groan as he chuckled."You're a psycho." He mimicked, sarcastically."Just let me go and be with th

Alex's POVShe kissed me and held my neck, I pushed her away and she fell down on the bed. "I can't betray Lisa." I said.She scoffed. "I wanted to help you but I've changed my mine."I looked at her and smiled. "I don't need your help." I replied and walked out of her room. Oliver was sitting on the sofa when I walked in, "Where are they?""I decided to talk to them, they went to report to the cops about missing Lisa." He answered."I'm so frustrated right now." I said.He coughed. "Yeah, you should.""I'll kill myself if I don't find Lisa soon." I replied."I know where she is." He said and I looked at him."Where is she?" I asked."Promise me that you won't do anything stupid.""Fine, I promise.""James kidnapped Lisa, I have a feeling he's the secret admirer.""That's highly impossible, I heard James talk to Lisa's secret admirer, he was also there when Lisa talked to the man who sent her dead fl

Lisa's POVI struggled to free myself as he planted kisses all over my body, his touch felt like fire to me. A knock was heard on the door and he came down from the bed. He opened the door and someone gave him his phone.It was ringing, he hurriedly picked the call. "Hello ma'am."I wondered who he was talking to, my heart kept beating quickly. Suddenly he looked at me and smiled. "That seems like a brilliant idea, that way Alex won't be able to get married to her again in the future, it's better than killing her." He said.I frowned. What was he planning on doing to me? I silently prayed that he wasn't going to kill me.He kept his phone in his pocket and smiled at me. "I can't wait for tomorrow Lisa and I'm sure you're also excited." He said."Tell me huh, what do you want to do to me?" I asked, trying to feel myself from the rope that tied me to the chair.He looked at the man who brought his phone. "Leave us alone." He ordered and the man left, c

Lisa's POV"I can't believe Kim did this to me." I said crying."I have to go." Oliver said as he heard footsteps outside the door. He quickly left, slowly closing the door behind him.I looked at the ceiling and tears tickled in my eyes. I wondered what I ever did to her to make her hate me.I couldn't hurt anyone, I wondered why she hated me so much. I didn't know when I slept off.I opened my eyes and yawned. It felt like I only slept for five minutes. I stared at the ceiling, I managed to look at the time. It was already 9AM.I winced in pain and struggled to escape again when the door swung open and James walked in. "Morning, my princess." He said.He was dressed in a suit and he was holding a bunch of flowers which he dropped on the bed. "Let me go." I replied and shot him an angry look.He continued to stare at me, watching me through his dark eyes. "We're getting married today." He said and I looked at him shocked.My heart raced. He wa

Alex's POVI walked into the compound and found James. He pointed a gun to me and I shrieked with fear. "James, put the gun down." I said.He laughed and raised the gun up, he fired a shot in the air and pointed it back at me. "What do you think? Do you really think that I'm scared of you?" He asked."The cops are going to be here any moment soon, I didn't except you to do this." I answered with a frown.He scoffed. "I'm also in love with your girlfriend."With that, I punched him in the face and kicked his legs, he fell down and rolled over to the other side, his gun slipping off his hands.I kicked it away and jumped on him. I gave him the first blow and he pushes me off him. I sprang up and dodged his attacks. "I don't know where Lisa is." He said as we fought."You kidnapped her, you liar." I replied and he ran towards the fence. I tried to run after him but I heard a gunshot.My heart raced, could it be Lisa? I ran with rage into the

Alex's POVI was restless, I tried calling Oliver's phone but it was switched off. "Have you been able to call him?" My mom asked.I shook my head sitting down on the sofa. "His line is switched off.""Why would you guys be so dumb to the extent of trying to rescue a stupid lady who can't defend herself." She said."Don't call her a stupid lady." I replied sharply with a frown.My phone rang and the caller ID showed that it was James calling, I hurriedly picked it up."Where's Lisa?" He asked."I should be asking you that question."He chuckled over the phone. "You have Lisa, why don't you give her back to me?"I scoffed. "She's my future wife and I won't let you hurt her again.He chuckled again. "The cops can't investigate me because they won't find all the evidence." He reminded."I'll look for evidence.""I don't play dirty games, I know what I want and I always get it. I'm a skilled criminal."I threw my ph

He asked.I looked at him before looking outside. "I don't think you should talking to me early in the morning." I answeredHe chuckled. "You're still arrogant.""I can't stop being arrogant, I'll fight to the end.""Death is the end," he reminded with a smirk. "Be ready to pay the price just like Lisa because you'll be the next person walking out of this organization."I frowned. "Lisa is dead, don't mention her name." I warned.He laughed and we climbed the stairs together, I didn't want to talk to him. "I wanted to get married to Lisa before Oliver stopped my plans." He said as we reached the corridor."You'll never get married to Lisa." I replied and walked into my office. "The management meeting will commence soon, be ready for your doom." He said from outside.

My husband would call it pregnancy hormones but this was different.My heart skipped a beat as soon as the light was switched on and I found Alex staring at me seductively with a cake on his hand. "Happy birthday, wifey." He muttered.My birthday? Wait, how could I forget my birthday. "Believe me, I didn't even know today's my birthday." I said as he placed the cake on the table."Pregnancy hormones!" He mocked jokingly."So what did the doctor say?" I inquired.He grinned in reply. "He said you're close to giving birth." He answered and walked towards me.He removed my clothes and I could feel my body shivering with fear. "What about the baby?" I asked as he also undressed."This is the best birthday gift ever."

Alex's POVLisa was my girlfriend and we had planned to get married before I got attacked in the restroom of that restaurant by Kim's men.The memories came back to me easily and I could recall everything that happened.I jumped into the pool to save her and found the engagement ring on her body. I held her and brought her out of the pool.I waited for a second to catch my breath before looking at her. I checked her breath to check if she was breathing. She wasn't, I felt my heart beat increase rapidly.Gently, I tilted her head back and used one hand to hold her chin and lift it up, I kept her mouth open using my thumb.I placed my other hand on her forehead and pinched her nose with my index finger and thumb.I silently hoped it worked so we could be together again. I didn't want to lose her, I wanted her to live a normal life with me.Taking a normal breath, I covered and sealed her open mouth with mine, and blew into her mouth for ab

I could now revenge and make Lisa and Alex pay for their sins."You're excited, huh?" Daniel asked as we walked into the forest."I'm really excited because I know that I'm now free and I don't have to do anything other than killing my enemies." I answered.He stopped by a stream and drank water. "Heard that it makes the body stronger and bigger."I let out a loud laugh. "I'm sure you know that you're totally wrong. Drinking untreated water such as bore water, river water or spring water can lead to illnesses such as gastroenteritis and diarrhoea."

I couldn't wait for him to remember that he wanted to marry me before he lost his memory and totally forgot me.My heart was hurt and I was also hurt, I wondered why I couldn't do anything to make him remember that I was his wife. Why couldn't I do something that would make him recall our love? I loved him so much and losing him was not an option.I couldn't do without him even though I tried to pretend that we were just friends. Tears filled my eyes as I remembered the fantastic and funny moments we shared even though it was short, it was fun and exciting to me.The door opened and Eliza walked in with a cool smile.

Alex's POVThe door flung open and Oliver walked in. "Where's my ring?" I asked him quickly and he threw it at me."How did you know it was with me?""Your curiosity exposed you." I answered with a smile.He chuckled. "Amanda is really crazy, she thought I was going to propose to her."I smiled at him and scratched my cheeks. "I bought the ring as a gift for Lisa even though she's engaged."He frowned and slanted me a look. "Engaged?""Yeah, I saw a ring on her finger but she didn't tell me anything about her love life. Is she secretive?" I asked him.Oliver let out a slight chuckle with a grin. "She's not secretive, you'll find out everything soon." He answered happily.I blinked and narrowed my eyes at him. "Really?" I asked her, surprised. "I don't think I even know her, I'm not sure how I feel right now but I'm in love with Lisa and I can't help it."He frowned and sat on my bed.

"I don't know, I get these weird images and there's always a lady there. I'm confused."I knew I was the lady but I couldn't do anything, I couldn't keep on hurting myself."You'll figure it out soon." I reassured him with a casual smile.He looked at my hands and pointed to my ring. "That ring! Are you engaged."Tears tickled in my eyes and I nodded. "Yeah, I was supposed to get married before an unfortunate thing happened to me." I explained, trying to hold the tears that wanted to come out of my eyes.He smiled and touched my cheeks. I wondered why he couldn't recall giving me the ring. He was the one who slid the ring through my finger and proposed to me but he couldn't remember."Amanda invited me for a party this evening, will you like to come?" He asked, politely."When did she invite

Lisa's POVWe walked into the cafeteria and occupied a seat at the back. Amanda irritated me with her lousy and naughty attitude."What will you like to have, sir?" The waiter asked Alex as he came to us.Alex looked at Amanda before looking at me. "Lisa, what do you think I should eat?" He asked."I don't know." I answered."You should tell me, I'm interested in whatever you eat." He told me."Don't you care for my opinion?" Amanda asked and touched his cheeks.I almost stood up to slap her, "I don't care." Alex answered bluntly and I chuckled.He was never interested in Alex, I believed that the both of us were soulmates. It was definitely true, we were both connected in a way.I squeezed his hands gently and he looked at me. "You should try Cobb salad.""What's that?" He asked."I'll explain it to you soon," I turned to face the water. "Bring two plates of cobb salad.""Make it three." Amanda said and eyed me.I laughed. "Whatever." I

"You should have had a headache by now, I didn't want to wake you up in the night, I had to sleep on the other sofa too." He said.I smiled with a nod. He was definitely right, I felt a sharp pain at the back of my head. I slept late thinking about things to help bring back Alex's memory. "I'm worried about Alex." I admitted as I yawned.He stared at the ground for a few seconds before turning up to look at me. "I don't know what to do right now. I'm actually fed up with everything, he doesn't even seem to know you.""True love will definitely bring back his memories."Oliver laughed and quickly stopped laughing when he realized the frown on my face. "This is definitely not the time to laugh. I'm trying to be positive here cause I'm seriously losing my mind.""We have to follow the doctor's advice, telling him anything right now
Ruthless Billionaire Chapter Thirty-Eight
Alex's POVI walked into the house with Oliver and found Lisa on the sofa. It was surprising but I never asked them for a maid. I was even totally pissed off when I walked in and found her sitting down on the sofa comfortably."Are you dating her?" I was forced to ask."No, I'm not." He answered with a frown.I chuckled. "It's obvious that you're dating her because she's not behaving like a maid.""Because she's not a ....." He paused and stared at me. "Just leave her alone, don't make her angry." He added.I chuckled. "This is also my house and I won't tolerate any bad habits."My mom climbed down from the stairs and hugged me. "I've missed you my son and believe me, Lisa missed you too." She said and I felt dizzy.The name 'Lisa' seemed to affect me, I caught Oliver nudging her with an elbow.I held my head in agony."Why will Lisa miss me?" I asked loudly waiting for answers.Lisa stood up and walked towards me. It was obvious that she was crying. "Sh
