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

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

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

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

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

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

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. What were we doing?Suddenly, the machine emitted a blinding flash of light. I shielded my eyes, stumbling backward.When I opened them again, I saw some

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

The Heiress Revenge Chapter 107: Shock
Althea's POVAs I stood with the others far away from the Demonic Wolf, I couldn't help but think about how Lisa had saved me. To be honest, I didn't even expect her to save me on account of us quarrelling earlier. When I decided to hold back the Demonic Wolf and give everyone a chance to escape, I hadn't even expected anyone of them to come back for me. But somehow Lisa has acquired her ability, using it to come back for me. I would have died if not for her coming at the right moment to save me from the Demonic Wolf.My eyes lingered in the direction everyone was looking, hoping that Lisa would at least walk out of this. She had saved me from the Demonic Wolf, doing something very stupid later. And that thing was going off by herself to fight off the Demonic Wolf when she had not yet learnt how to control her ability. No one in the team could even take down the Demonic Wolf no matter what but she had gone off, hoping to finish off the Demonic Wolf. I didn't know if this was stupidity
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 106: Killing The Demonic Wolf
Lisa's POVI've never been this confident in my entire life. It was like my courage had been multiplied several times after getting my shadow ability. It boosted my confidence and eliminated any fear and doubt that would have existed in my mind. My courage was unwavering just like a sturdy tree which could not be brought down despite the storm. Honestly, if someone had told me that I would become this confident I wouldn't have believed that person. I would have even insulted and quarrelled with that person for talking nonsense.Running through the shadow world was form. There was nothing like solids or liquids here. In fact there wasn't the existence of any object which could obstruct my path. I was so much free to move any way I liked, going through objects that would have been impossible to pass through by ordinary people. This gave me a new feeling which I couldn't describe. It was more like I was enjoying what I was doing right now."Let's see how mighty and great you are, Demonic
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 105: Slaying The Demonic Wolf
Lisa's POVMy entire body became covered with this white light that blinded even me. I couldn't even see any of my teammates who were doing battle or the undead creatures which were rapidly coming out of the ground to fight us. With this situation I felt that I'd been isolated from the entire world.Soon the light cleared and I could see again. I could see the others resume their fight against the undead creatures while keeping an eye on me. They all wore shocked expressions as if they didn't expect me to finally awaken my ability at the last moment. The most shocked of them all was Stephanie who had quarreled with me an hour ago."All my life I've been mocked by others and trampled upon," I silently muttered to myself as I clenched my other fist which wasn't wielding a sword, my eyes firmly on Althea who was still struggling to prevent the Demonic Wolf from crashing to the ground. "I have to change that today and show that I'm not entirely useless as everyone thinks."I took on a fig
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 104: Awakening At The Last Moment
Lisa's POV.When the Demonic Wolf appeared, I was really terrified. This was because I'd never seen anything like this. It easily towered over us like a small mountain and had a terrifying aura capable of crushing everyone. If not for the others around I would have already run away in order to escape from this powerful creature. But then, would that have made any difference? Hence, I decided to stay and fight no matter what. Although I was the ordinary one here I decided to give it my all and defeat this powerful Demonic Wolf which was after our lives.I wielded my sword, slashing the undead humanoid creatures it has summoned to attack us. It seemed as if it thought itself to be too powerful to do anything to us. Hence it sent its lackeys. This thought filled me with the determination to kill this Demonic Wolf or whatever it called itself."Find away to attack the Demonic Wolf!" I heard Faelan's voice. "If we don't kill it we will have to fight these undead creatures. And when that ha
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 103: Demonic Wolf
Jake's POVI was about to kiss Lisa when I heard a very loud roar. Well, she heard it too and that interrupted our kiss. I was so upset that I wanted to immediately run towards the source of that roar and kill it with my bare hands. How dare it interrupt my first kiss with the woman I loved?I didn't have the chance to say anything to Lisa when the others. The main reason I'd actually come to meet her was to confess my feelings to her. But now everything I'd planned to say had been ruined. There was no way I'd be able to confess to Lisa now. It would be in the far future.I was still standing with my sword drawn when I felt this tremendous energy surge from the direction I'd been staring it. It was very powerful and almost overwhelmed me if not for the light within me. Even with the light, if I'd not awakened and connected with the guardian within me I would have been overwhelmed by this terrifying energy. I would have immediately died without knowing how and why.I turned to look at
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 102: Powerful Roar
Lisa's POVI continued running, not for once looking back at my friends. I was so angry right now and I needed to vent my feelings or else it would turn out bad for me. I wasn't very good when it came to bottling up feelings. Every time I became angry or hurt I'd do one or two things to release the negative feelings. And that was what I was going to do right now that my friends had made me angry.I finally stopped running, bending over as I panted heavily. I was already drenched in sweat which made my dress to stick to my body like glue. It wasn't a pleasant feeling but there was nothing I'd be able to do about it. My condition wasn't good right now and I needed to do something in order to feel better.After some minutes I finally recovered, my breathing becoming normal. I looked up at the moon which was shining brightly in the sky. Although there were tall trees in the forest they couldn't even obscure its radiance. It just stood in the sky, shining as if that was all that matters. I
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 101: Doubt
Lisa's POVFinding the light within us? This seems like a fantasy we've been told to keep us in bondage. To be honest I was beginning to feel a little doubtful about everything. It wasn't as if I didn't believe the words of the Elders of Light but everything they said was hard to accomplish. I mean, we've been trying to find our light and connect with our guardians for a long period of time now.Well, at first we felt something. We really felt a connection and our body radiated with ethereal light which seemed to come from the dawn of existence. I really felt myself brimming with this primordial energy. But then, that was all to it. I didn't feel any change, I didn't feel any strength and I didn't feel any difference. I was just the same old me, Lisa Kay. I was just the ordinary young girl or woman or female...whatever they call it. I was just someone filled with emptiness.If it was up to me I would have really given up on all this. I would have stopped a long time ago, not following
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 100: Echoes Of Destiny.
Seraphina’s POVThe forest seemed to come alive as we ventured onward, each step igniting the vibrant magic woven into its very fabric. The air was thick with the scent of blooming blossoms and damp earth, as if the forest itself breathed in tandem with us. I could sense the spirits of the guardians guiding us, their presence like a warm embrace, assuring us that we were on the right path.“Where do you think we should go first?” Althea asked, turning her attention to the winding trails branching out before us. Each path appeared to beckon with its own mysteries.“Perhaps we should seek out the elders in Eldoria,” I suggested, recalling the Keeper’s wisdom about gathering knowledge. “They possess insights and histories that could empower our journey.”Faelan raised an eyebrow, his expression animated. “The Elders of Light! They are the ancient wisdom bearers of our realm. If anyone can guide us in nurturing our newfound abilities, it’s them.”The prospect of meeting the Elders sparked
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 99: The Turning Of The Tide
Seraphina’s POVAs the sun climbed higher, illuminating the glade with its warm embrace, I felt a shift within me a surge of determination to honor the promise we had made. Each whisper of the wind felt like a gentle nudge, guiding us toward our fate. Althea and Faelan, standing resolute beside me, reflected the same resolve. Our journey together had transformed the weights we carried into wings.“Let’s move forward,” I said, my voice steady. “We’ve tapped into the essence of our light, but we must now discover how to apply it.”Althea nodded, her eyes glistening with excitement. “There’s so much to uncover, and I can't shake the feeling that the forest still holds secrets meant for us alone.”With renewed purpose, we ventured deeper into the heart of the forest. The air crackled with energy as we followed an unseen path one that felt alive and woven with magic. Each step we took resonated with the bond we had forged amidst adversity; it was as if the forest itself acknowledged our co
