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 Heiress Revenge Chapter 20: Check back
LISA'S POV As we sat down at the dining table, the tension was palpable. But Mom's cooking was a balm to our frazzled nerves. 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
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 22: Layers of Curses
LISA'S POVI tried to process what Leo meant by "making our arrangement more personal." Was he suggesting we pretend to be in love? Or was he hinting at something more?"Leo, I don't think that's a good idea," I said, trying to sound firm but calm.Leo leaned back in his chair, a sly smile spreading across his face. "Oh, come on, Lisa. It'll be fun. We can make this whole thing more enjoyable."I shook my head, feeling a sense of unease. "I don't think so, Leo. Let's just stick to the plan."Leo's smile faltered for a moment, but then he shrugged. "Suit yourself, Lisa. But you're missing out on a lot of fun."I raised an eyebrow, unsure what to make of Leo's comment. Was he trying to manipulate me into doing something I didn't want to do?Just then, my assistant burst into the room. "Lisa, I'm so sorry to interrupt, but you have an urgent call from your father."I stood up, feeling a sense of relief at the interruption. "Excuse me, Leo. I need to take this call."Leo nodded, his eyes
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 23: Dream State
LISA'S POV I walked out of the courtroom, feeling a sense of relief wash over me. But as I stepped into the bright sunlight, I couldn't shake off the feeling that something was off.Rachel, who had been my rock throughout this ordeal, noticed my unease. "Hey, what's wrong?" she asked, concern etched on her face.I hesitated, unsure how to articulate my doubts. "I don't know...it just feels too easy."Rachel frowned. "What do you mean? We've been working towards this for months."I sighed, feeling a sense of frustration. "I know, but what if we've only scratched the surface? What if there's more to Leo's empire than we think?"Rachel's expression turned thoughtful. "I see what you mean. Maybe we should keep digging."I nodded, determination coursing through my veins. "Let's do it."We spent the next few days pouring over documents, searching for any clues that might lead us to the truth. But every lead we followed seemed to end in a dead-end.I began to feel like I was running in circ
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 24: A Different Case
LISA'S POV As we walked, the city seemed to stretch out before us like a labyrinth. We were just two small players in a much larger game."I don't trust him," Rachel said suddenly, her voice low."Who?" I asked, though I knew the answer."Alex. I don't think he's telling us everything."I nodded, my mind racing. "I know what you mean. But what choice do we have? We need his help to uncover the truth."Rachel's eyes narrowed. "That's exactly what I'm worried about. We're dependent on him for information. What if he's leading us astray?"I didn't have an answer. All I knew was that we had to keep moving forward, no matter the risks.As we turned a corner, a figure emerged from the shadows. It was Alex."I see you're having doubts," he said, his eyes glinting with amusement. "That's good. You should always question the path you're on."Rachel's eyes flashed with anger. "What do you want from us?" she demanded.Alex chuckled. "Oh, I think you know. I want to show you the truth. But you h
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 25: Another World
LISA'S POV As we approached the machine, I could feel the energy emanating from it. It was like nothing I had ever experienced before.Dr. Lee began to explain the science behind the machine, but I found myself tuning out. I was too busy trying to process what I was seeing.Rachel, on the other hand, was completely absorbed. She asked questions and nodded intently, her eyes shining with excitement.I watched her, feeling a sense of pride. She was in her element.As Dr. Lee finished his explanation, a technician approached us. "We're ready to begin," he said, his voice firm.Dr. Lee nodded. "Let's proceed."The technician turned to us. "Please, step back. This is going to get loud."We retreated, watching as the machine roared to life. The energy emanating from it grew stronger, filling the room.I felt my heart pounding in my chest.

The Heiress Revenge Chapter 26: Shock
LISA'S POVMy eyes fluttered open, and I gasped for air as if I had been underwater for too long. My chest heaved, and my heart raced like a wild animal. Sweat dripped from my forehead, tracing a path down my cheek and onto the pillow. I was drenched, my nightgown clinging to my skin. As I sat up, my hand instinctively went to my heart, as if to calm its frantic beating. I breathed heavily, my mouth open, and my shoulders rose and fell with each ragged inhale and exhale."Oh my god," I whispered, my voice shaking. "It was just a dream." But what a dream. It had felt so real – the portal, the strange world, the woman with blue skin, and the orbs. My mind reeled, trying to process it all.I threw off the covers and ran my hands through my tangled hair, trying to calm myself down. My sheets were soaked with sweat, and I felt like I needed a shower. I took a few deep breaths, trying to slow down my racing heart. I looked around my darkened room, the shadows cast by the moonlight making me
