The Heiress Revenge Chapter 14: Deal Breaker
LISA'S POV The next morning, I rushed downstairs, already running late for work. My mother greeted me with a warm smile and a steaming cup of coffee. "Good morning, sweetie! Eat something before you go."I grabbed a piece of toast and took a quick bite, but my mother wasn't satisfied. "Lisa, slow down! You need to eat something proper."She shoved a piece of bacon into my mouth, and I munched on it as I headed out the door. "Thanks, Mum! Love you!"As I walked to the driveway, I noticed my car parked outside, packed and ready to go. I pulled out my phone and called my mother. "Mum, who brought my car?""Someone brought it fixed," she replied. "Liam asked him to bring it."I smiled, feeling a warmth in my chest. "Thanks, Mum. You're the best."My mother teased me, "Oh, I think someone else might be the best. You're smiling awfully big this morning."I laughed and hung up the phone, feeling a sense of excitement and gratitude.As I drove to work, I couldn't help but think about Liam an
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 15: An Additional Offer
LISA'S POV Finally, the moment of truth arrived. Emily's voice came over the intercom, her tone professional and calm. "Lisa, Leo has arrived."I took a deep breath, smoothing my dress and making my way to the reception area. Leo stood tall and confident, his eyes scanning the room with interest. Emily smiled and greeted him, leading him to my office."Lisa, this is Leo," Emily said, her voice formal.I smiled, extending my hand. "Leo, welcome. Thank you for coming."Leo's handshake was firm, his eyes crinkling at the corners as he smiled. "The pleasure is mine, Lisa. Your office is impressive.”As Leo walked into my office, I couldn't help but notice the commanding presence he exuded. He stood tall, his 6'2" frame towering over the room, his broad shoulders squared and confident. His icy blue eyes scanned the space, taking in every detail with an air of quiet intensity. His jet black hair was perfectly styled, not a single strand out of place, framing his chiseled features with prec
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 16: Hunger For Revenge
LISA'S POV I felt like I'd been punched in the gut. Marriage? Why on earth would Leo want to marry me? I thought we were just discussing a business arrangement, not a lifelong commitment.My eyes darted to Marcus, hoping he could provide some insight, but he looked just as surprised as I was. His eyebrows were raised, and he was leaning back in his chair, his eyes fixed on Leo with a mixture of confusion and curiosity."Leo, what's going on?" I asked, trying to keep my voice steady. "I don't understand why you're asking me to marry you."Leo's expression didn't change. He just kept staring at me with that intense gaze, his eyes burning with an inner fire."I want to own you, Lisa," he repeated, his voice low and husky. "I want to possess you completely. And I want the world to know it."I felt a shiver run down my spine as I realized the depth of his desire. But why? What could he possibly gain from marrying me?"Leo, I don't know what to say," I stammered, trying to process my thoug
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 17: Hiding Under A Rock
LISA'S POV I refocused on my work, my mind made up. I would do whatever it took to bring down Andre, even if it meant marrying Leo. The marriage didn't have to be serious, I thought. It was just a means to an end. After a few hours of work, I called Liam into my office. He arrived promptly, looking curious. "What's up?" he asked. "I've changed my mind," I said. "You're still coming for dinner tonight." Liam raised an eyebrow. "I thought you were going to break the news to your father?" I shook my head. "Not tonight. I won't be telling him about the marriage yet. At least, not tonight." Liam shrugged. "Fine. I'll come to dinner." I nodded, relieved. "Good. I need your support, Liam." Liam nodded and left my office, leaving me to my thoughts. I knew I had a long night ahead of me, but I was ready. I would do whatever it took to bring down Andre, even if it meant marrying Leo. The day flew by in a whirlwind of meetings and paperwork, but just as I was about to leave,
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 18: Dinner
LISA'S POV As we entered the house, the tension between Louisa and me remained strong. We walked into the living room, where our parents were sitting on the couch, oblivious to the storm brewing between us.Louisa couldn't keep quiet for long. "So, Lisa, I hear you're still going ahead with the merger," she said, her voice dripping with venom.I felt my temper rise, but I tried to keep my cool. "Yes, Louisa, I am. And I don't see why you're so opposed to it."Louisa snorted. "You know exactly why I'm opposed to it. You're just too selfish to care."That was it. I'd had enough of her insults. "How dare you!" I shouted, my voice echoing through the room.Our parents turned to us, shocked by the outburst. "Girls, what's going on here?" our mom asked, standing up.But Louisa and I were beyond reason. We stood there, our faces red with anger, our voices raised in a heated argument."You're just trying to ruin everything!" I shouted."No, I'm trying to protect this family's interests!" Lou
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 19: Determination
LISA'S POV I stood up, my body shaking with sobs, and my mother rushed to my side. "Lisa, darling, don't cry," she said, trying to wrap her arms around me. But I pushed her away, my anger and hurt boiling over."You always defend her, no matter what she does!" I cried, my voice echoing off the walls. "You always take her side, even when she's wrong!"My mother tried to calm me down, but I was beyond consolation. I sank to the ground, my chest heaving with sobs, and my mother knelt beside me."Lisa, sweetie, that's not true," she said, her voice soft and gentle. "I love you both equally, and I want what's best for both of you."But I was too far gone to listen. "You don't know what it's like to be constantly belittled and criticized," I said, my voice bitter. "You don't know what it's like to be treated like I'm nothing."Louisa stood in the doorway, her arms crossed and a smirk on her face. "Oh, poor Lisa," she said, her voice dripping with sarcasm. "Always playing the victim."I gla

The aroma of roasted chicken and steaming vegetables filled the air, and for a moment, we forgot about the argument.Dad, still looking a bit shaken, smiled weakly at me as I helped him settle into his seat. Liam, ever the gentleman, waited for me to sit before taking his own seat.The silence was almost deafening as we passed dishes around the table. But it was a comfortable silence, like we all needed a break from the drama.As we ate, I snuck glances at Liam, who was savoring each bite with a look of genuine pleasure. I smiled, feeling a warmth in my chest. He was always so present, so mindful.After we finished eating, Liam pushed his chair back and stood up. "Thanks for dinner, Mrs. ... um, Lisa's mom," he said with a smile.Mom laughed and patted his hand. "Just call me mum, dear. And you're welcome. Come back soon."As Liam headed for the door, I walked
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 21: Made Up
LISA'S POV As I sat in my room, my head in my hands, I couldn't help but think about my father's words. I knew he didn't like Leo, but he was willing to put aside their rivalry for my sake. That realization filled me with a mix of emotions - guilt, gratitude, and uncertainty.I thought about my investigation, and how I had been so determined to uncover the truth. But now, I wasn't so sure. Maybe I had been too harsh, too quick to judge.I sighed, feeling a sense of exhaustion wash over me. I had been so focused on finding something wrong with Leo's company, but what if I had been wrong all along?As I sat there, lost in thought, my phone rang, breaking the silence. I hesitated for a moment before answering."Hello?" I said, trying to sound cheerful."Hey, Lisa!" It was Liam's voice on the other end. "How's it going?"I smiled, feeling a sense of relief. "It's going," I said. "I've just been thinking a lot about everything.""Yeah, I can imagine," Liam said. "So, what's the verdict? A

I mean, really feel.”He paused, brushing a strand of hair away from his forehead, his icy blue eyes meeting mine. “I love it. It feels... liberating, doesn’t it? Like we’re reclaiming parts of ourselves that we lost along the way.”I nodded, but lingering uncertainty clouded my thoughts. “Then why do I feel like there's still a barrier between us? Like I’m

Leo's words hung in the air like a promise a commitment to face the shadows of our past together.“Are you all right?” Leo asked gently, his thumb brushing over my knuckles, grounding me with his touch.“I think I will be,” I replied, taking a deep breath. “It’s just daunting to think about everything we’ve been through. Sometimes it feels easier to just focus on the future.”He nodded, understanding the conflict in my heart. “We’ve grown so much, and it feels easy to believe that moving on means ignoring where we’ve come from. But confronting hurts, the fear that what will let us truly move forward.”“Then let’s do it,” I said, my voice steadying. “Let’s find a way to confront our pasts without letting them consume us.”He smiled, that beautiful, encouraging smile I had come to rely on. “I’m with you every ste

The warmth beside me reminded me of the night before of laughter, promises, and the bold declaration that we would face whatever lay ahead together.Leo was still asleep, his chest rising and falling rhythmically.

The Heiress Revenge Chapter 81: A New Dawn
Lisa's POVAs I sat in the dim light of the new apartment Leo provided after our tumultuous return, I felt an odd mixture of relief and anxiety. The walls, though painted in a calming shade of lavender, seemed to loom over me like the ghosts of our past. Memories of betrayal, heartbreak, and vengeance floated like shadows, offering little comfort.Leo’s soft footsteps echoed through the space, breaking me from my reverie. He entered, his icy blue eyes searching mine for something understanding, perhaps. He closed the door softly behind him, shutting out the remnants of our chaotic lives for a moment. “I thought we could finally breathe,” he said, his voice laced with uncertainty as he ran a hand through his jet-black hair. “Just us. No more drama.” I managed a small smile, though it trembled. “Yes, just us.” But I knew the shadows wouldn’t fade that easily.
