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 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

    LISA'S POV "You're so selfish," my sister spat at me. "You only care about yourself and what you want. You don't care about anyone else.""That's not true," I shot back. "I care about plenty of people. But I'm not going to let you or anyone else control my life.""Control your life?" my sister laughed. "You're not even in control of yourself. You're just a mess, Lisa. A complete and utter mess."I felt my anger rising, but I tried to keep my cool. "At least I'm not a hypocrite like you," I said. "At least I'm not pretending to be something I'm not.""Oh, and what am I pretending to be?" my sister asked, her voice dripping with sarcasm."You're pretending to be concerned about our family's company," I said. "But really, you're just trying to protect your own interests. You're just trying to make sure you get what you want."My sister's face turned red with anger. "How dare you," she hissed. "I'm trying to protect our family's legacy. Something you clearly don't care about.""I do care

It was like they didn't have a worry in the world.Meanwhile, I was stuck in this restaurant, hiding behind a plant like a coward. I was angry and frustrated, wondering how my life had come to this. How had Andre, the man I loved, ended up with this woman?I thought back to the day they met, the way Andre was drawn to her like a moth to a flame. I had tried to warn him, to tell him she was trouble, but he hadn't listened.And now, here we were.

I needed someone to talk to, someone who could help me make Andre pay for what he had done. Marcus, Leo's personal assistant, picked up on the first ring."Ah, Lisa," Marcus said, his tone dripping with sarcasm. "How lovely to hear from you. I was just sitting here, twiddling my thumbs, waiting for your call."I rolled my eyes, despite knowing he couldn't see me. "Marcus, cut the act. I need to speak to Leo.""Oh, Leo," Marcus said, his voice heavy with fake concern. "He's a busy man, Lisa. But I'm sure he'll drop everything to speak to you.

    LISA'S POV Leo dropped me off, since the wedding wasn't going to take place until my parents knew. As the car door opened, I stepped out onto the driveway, feeling the warm sun on my skin. The sound of the engine faded into the distance as Leo drove away, leaving me alone in front of my childhood home. I took a deep breath, the scent of freshly cut grass and blooming flowers filling my lungs.I walked towards the front door, my heels clicking on the pavement. The door creaked as I pushed it open, and I stepped inside, calling out to my parents. "Mom? Dad? I'm home!"The hallway was dimly lit, the only sound the ticking of the grandfather clock in the corner. I slipped off my shoes and padded across the cool floor, my toes curling over the edge of the rug.As I entered the kitchen, I was greeted by the warm glow of the afternoon sun streaming through the window. My mom was sitting at the table, a cup of tea in front of her, her eyes fixed on the newspaper. She looked up as I entered,

I knew that if I lingered, she would pry and probe, trying to get more information out of me. And I wasn't ready to give it to her. Not yet.I turned and walked out of her room, the soft carpet muffling my footsteps as I made my way back down the hallway. My mind was racing with thoughts and emotions, but I pushed them all aside, focusing on the task at hand. I needed to get some rest.I entered my own room, closing the door softly behind me. The room was quiet and dark, the only sound the soft hum of my alarm clock on my nightstand. I moved swiftly, switching off the lamp and plunging the room into darkness.I walked over to my bed, feeling my way through the darkness. I slipped off my shoes and socks, letting out a soft sigh as my feet sank into the plush carpet. I climbed into bed, feeling the softness of the blanket

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
