Another update! T__T i hope u guys will like it.
‘Friendship? How ironic! Indeed, she has the face of an iron fist. Thick just like how it is.’ Lissie thought. Her grip on her bag tightened, resisting herself on bursting out and making a scene. Well, it's not her cup of tea. For her, Lissie would rather tease her enemy. Well, indeed you can't buy a class using money. Twisting her hands, Lissie stroked her hair using her fingers before speaking. “I don't know where the fuck did you find the guts to talk about friendship now. For your information, it sailed a few years ago.” She sneered, skimming Andy's face. “What should I expect from someone like you though? Our family seems to be great at providing welfare for ungrateful members who are dishonest and betraying members.” Lissie affirmed, making Andy Moore clenched her fist. A mocking smirk crept on her lips. Lissie made an exit, denying Andy a chance for rebuttal. She started the engine of her Ferrari, leaving Andy under the shadow of her limited edition Rolls Royce she probably

Just like the old times, the Vistagra residence remained lavish in her eyes. Nothing changed. It was still the same lucrative mansion built in the middle of a vast land owned by the Vistagra family. The fine marbles used were still intact. The American structured house has been well maintained for years as it was built during the 1890's. The manor remained classic, and the wow effect is still there despite being centuries old. The car’s door swung open and Lissie stepped out. She took her sunglasses off before nibbling her lower lip. The cold wind oozes her skin, as her hair has been blown by the wind. Being at the same residence she once called home feels nostalgic. All the sad memories she once tried to swing away from her mind came back. ‘Ah. What a painful comeback.’ Lissie told herself in her mind. Callie held her hand. “Let's go inside and surprise Grandpa!” She excitedly affirmed then pulled her ex sis in law inside. Her heart was screaming in pain. She was trying to forget
Hearing Kaleb's words made Lissie's heart melt. Indeed, the old man treated her like his own family and granddaughter. Christian Vistagra made everything possible for Lissie when she was still living with them. The old man was Lissie's protector from the cunning Vistagta household. “Where is he?” Lissie couldn't contain her emotions asking those questions to her. Kaleb gave him a smile. “I will escort you to his room Mrs. Vistagra.” Kaleb led her the way to his chamber. She wiped the tears that escaped her eyes. As much as possible, Lissie didn't want the old man to see her crying. She wasn't the same old, and weak Lissie anymore, rather, she should be the lion everyone should be afraid of. The huge door opened. Kaleb let her inside until her eyes set to the old man who's sitting at his bed whilst wearing his eyeglasses. He had a newspaper in his hand until the door swung open. “Grandpa…” Lissie's voice was shaking. Hearing Lissie's voice, the old man tried to stand up and give L
There was a dead atmosphere at the Vistagra's dining area. The place was filled with silence but the tension with each family member was high. Old Mr. Vistagra hasn't attended casual dinners for a long time now which led them into an awkward position. What made everyone quiet as well was because of Colton's abrupt appearance. Cindy didn't like the atmosphere so she pretended to be happy and offered the briskets to the sick old man. “Why don't you try it? I followed the recipe through the procedures in the book our ancestors provided, Christian.” She affirmed with her head high, confident that people inside will like it. “Isn't this also your favorite Lissie?” Lissie's eyes went to her ex mother in law. She wiped her mouth using the table napkin before forcing a flat smile. “Yes.” Cindy put a small portion on her plate. Colton and Callie had their eyes on their mom. The darkness and stern in his eyes didn't vanish. Instead, he was just observing the way Lissie talked with his grandf
It was hard for Lissie to sleep inside her room. Memories lingers in her mind like bumping cars outside the street. She was just staring blankly at the ceiling with her eyes widened. Her body is tired but her spirit is still awake. Minutes later, familiarizing herself back to her old room, Lissie fell into a deep slumber. Her body adjusted, it was far different from her bed in her unit but she's comfortable enough to fall asleep. The next day, old Mr. Vistagra and his grandson Colton shared the dining table together, eating the breakfast Cindy and the housekeeper prepared. “This salad is good for you. Mind you, I woke up early to give you this.” Cindy affirmed whilst getting a small scoop for Christian. Behind them was Kaleb, who was teary-eyed seeing Christian and Colton are back at the same spot again. “It's glad to see you joining breakfast after five years, Mr. Vistagra. I'm glad you're back.” Kaleb greeted him with compassion in his voice. Lissie's absences for the past few
Lissie was extremely flabbergasted. Before Lissie could pull her thoughts, Christian pushed through his words— cutting the woman's freedom to speak. “I'll be brutally honest. I'm not in my best condition. My time is running out and I might say goodbye anytime but before that happens, I want to be with you.” “Grandpa, I…”“I've endured too much pain since I lost you, sweetheart. I don't think I could suffer another pain again if you divorce my grandson. All I want is to be happy, for our home to attain happiness filled with life and laughter.” His words exactly stabbed Lissie straight to her heart. She was taken aback. Lissie struggled to convey her protest because she doesn't want to disappoint her grandpa nor make him sad. She loves him so much! Old Mr. Vistagta held Lissie's hand. “I know it's such a big request. Your future is on the line,” he affirmed. “But the idea of you leaving my household breaks my heart. Besides, you're the only lady of the mansion I only want. Freeing yo
Cindy had always been distant towards Lissie ever since she wedded his son, Colton. She never felt that Cindy was affectionate towards her. Colton's mother didn't give a damn when they were still in their process of marriage, yet Cindy's treatment toward Lissie left her utterly confused. Lissie can’t figure out if Cindy favors her or the other way around. Perhaps Cindy just doesn’t give a damn about her existence. Later on at the villa, she bumped into Louis. He was standing resolutely across Lissie. He absolutely waited for her arrival. Lissie heaved a sigh as the woman jumped on the couch. Her feet ache and the mixed emotions she bears all throughout meeting with the Vistagra’s lingers inside her heart. It bothers Lissie so much. “What are you looking at?” she inquired, hoisting her eyebrows whilst looking at Louis. He’s been carefully watching Lissie for minutes now! It annoys her. Louis took a deep breath and sat across from Lissie. “Nothing, I am just worried about you.” Lou
Lissie was bothered. She’s thinking on what ground Colton might have pulled after declining him. She never has done this before and it might affect her daily life. She has always been following him ever since and never did once Lissie ignored Colton’s orders.He’s a domineering man. He wants everything he says will be followed. Colton has a high pride, is egoistic and hates strong, empowered women- which turned out to be Lissie. One moment, Louis came out of his room with a luggage in his hand. Surprised, Lissie stood up, worried. “Where are you going?” She inquired using her softest voice. Colton sighed heavily and gave Lissie his softest expression. “I’m going back to Southfolk City, Lissie. I had enough time here and it's time to navigate back what I left back in the south.” Unhurriedly, Lissie panicked. What could be the reason why he’s moving out of the blue and without giving me a heads up prior to leaving? She knows something is up! It must be Colton, the wicked, who urged h
Both of them are sitting in the dining area. The two were busy eating their breakfast whilst silence crept in the whole room. Louis was making his coffee whilst Lissie was deeply ogling at the divorce paper Colton sent her last night. ‘God, Lissie. You're stressing yourself too much!’ Lissie affirmed in her mind whilst massaging both her temple, looking a bit tired and stressed. “So what did you guys talk about last night?” Louis broke the silence eloping them. Louis was intrigued. He may not say it directly but he's worried about Lissie. When Colton had already left, Rogelio, the guard, called Louis that someone was making a scene. He checked the CCTV himself when he went home and found out it was Colton all along. Worried, Louis came home early, leaving the party and his friends behind only for him to find Lissie peacefully sleeping inside her bedroom. His heart was at peace seeing she doesn't have any scratches or burns. He's glad Colton did not force her doing extremities beca
