The Heiress Revenge Chapter 55: The Performance
LISA'S POV I stood there, my anger and frustration boiling over as I watched Leo fail to stand up to Marcus. Why was he allowing his assistant to speak to me like that? Why wasn't he defending me?I felt a surge of indignation and hurt as I realized that Leo was just standing there, doing nothing. He wasn't even acknowledging Marcus's behavior, let alone telling him to back off."Leo, say something," I demanded, my voice shaking with anger. "Tell him to stop speaking to me like that."But Leo just stood there, his expression unreadable. He didn't even flinch, didn't even acknowledge my request.Marcus, on the other hand, seemed to be enjoying the situation. He was smirking at me, his eyes gleaming with triumph."You see, Lisa, no one here respects you," he sneered. "You're just a pawn in their game. A means to an end."I felt a stinging sensation in my eyes as I realized the truth in his words. Leo wasn't defending me because he didn't care. He didn't see me as his partner or his equ

I knew he was trying to keep it in check, but I could sense the frustration radiating from him.I felt a surge of anxiety, wondering how the rest of the day would play out. Would my father's behavior continue to cause tension? Would Leo's anger boil over?I tried to push the thoughts aside, focusing on the present moment. But my mind kept wandering back to my father's words, his refusal to accept the arrangement.Why was he being so stubborn? Didn't he care that I was happy? Didn't he want me to have a good life?I sighed inwardly, feeling a sense of sadness. I knew my father loved me, but sometimes I wondered if he really understood me.Leo's voice broke into my thoughts, his tone calm and even. "Lisa, let's go over the plans for tomorrow one more time."I nodded, trying to shake off my worries. "Okay," I said, forcing a smile.As we went over the plans, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. Wha

"Lisa, dear, I'm so excited!" she exclaimed, her eyes shining with enthusiasm. "Tomorrow's the big day, and I want you to come pick out a dress with me!"I couldn't help but be caught up in her infectious energy. Despite my father's anger, I felt a surge of happiness at the thought of choosing a dress for the special day."Okay, Grandma," I said, smiling back at her. "I'd love to."Leo's grandmother clapped her hands together, her face alight with excitement. "Wonderful!" she exclaimed. "Let's go right now!

I had no idea what kind of dress I wanted, but I was excited to find out.As we drove to the dress shop, Leo's grandmother chattered excitedly about the different options we would have.

The Heiress Revenge Chapter 58: The Height
LISA’S POV As I stood outside, fidgeting with my dress, I couldn't help but feel a sense of unease. My parents were supposed to be here, but they were nowhere to be found. Leo, my fiancé, tried to reassure me, but I could see the concern etched on his face."Maybe I should get someone to stand in for your parents?" he suggested, his voice soft and gentle.I immediately shook my head, feeling a surge of panic. "No, you can't do that! It's not the same, Leo. My parents need to be here."Leo sighed, his eyes scanning the crowd. "I know, but they're not coming, Lisa. We have to face that. And with Grandma here, we can't afford to have an empty seat where your parents should be."Just then, Leo's grandma appeared beside us, her warm smile a stark contrast to the anxiety churning inside me. "Darlings, what's going on? You look like you're about to face a firing squad."I forced a smile, trying to hide my distress. "Just a little nervous, Grandma. Waiting for my parents to arrive."Grandma'

She gazed out at the gathered guests, her eyes twinkling with love and joy."Dear friends and family," she started, her voice clear and strong. "We are gathered here today to witness the union of Lisa and Leo. A union that will bring together two families, and create a new one."She paused, looking at us with tears in her eyes.

The Heiress Revenge Chapter 60: Fruitless
LISA'S POV I took a deep breath and tried to calm down. I looked at Leo, and saw the concern etched on his face. I knew I had to reassure him, to let him know that I was okay."Leo," I said, my voice shaking. "I'm sorry. This isn't how I wanted our wedding day to end."Leo's face softened, and he took a step closer to me. "It's not your fault," he said, his voice gentle. "We'll figure out who did this, and we'll make them pay."I nodded, feeling a surge of gratitude towards him. He was standing by me, even in the midst of all this chaos.Grandma cleared her throat, her voice firm. "We need to focus on the task at hand. We need to appease the priest, and find out who brought that band to our wedding."I nodded, determination rising within me. "I'll do whatever it takes," I said. "I won't let anyone ruin our marriage."Leo's eyes flashed with approval, and he took my hand. "We'll do it together," he said.As we stood there, united, I knew that nothing could ever come between us. Not my

LISA'S POV As soon as dinner concluded, my father rose from his seat, his expression resolute. "It's time for us to leave," he announced, his tone firm.My mother nodded in agreement, her eyes darting towards Grandma, who looked taken aback. "So soon?" Grandma asked, her voice tinged with disappointment.My father's gaze avoided mine as he replied, "We've overstayed our welcome."Louisa, who had been quiet throughout dinner, spoke up. "I'll gather my belongings."As they prepared to depart, the atmosphere in the room grew increasingly tense. Unspoken words hung in the air, heavy with accusation and suspicion.Grandma escorted them to the door, her expression stern. "We need to discuss this further," she said, her voice low and urgent.My father's face tightened. "Not now, ma. We'll talk later."As they stepped out into the night, I felt a sense of relief wash over me. I didn't want them to stay, not with the tension between us.Leo walked with me to the door, his hand on my shoulder.
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 62: Silly Games
LISA'S POV Leo's eyes flashed towards me, his gaze cold and hard. "You should be scared, Lisa," he spat, his voice venomous. "You think you can use me and discard me like trash? You're going to regret ever crossing me."The car swerved again, and I felt my stomach drop. I was trapped, at Leo's mercy, and I knew I had to think fast."Leo, stop!" I screamed, my voice hoarse with fear. "You're going to kill us!"But Leo just laughed, a cold, mirthless sound. "You're worried about dying now?" he sneered. "You should have thought of that before you decided to play me."Suddenly, the car screeched to a halt, throwing me forward. I gasped, my heart racing, as Leo turned to face me."We're not done yet, Lisa," he growled, his eyes blazing with anger. "Not by a long shot.”I stared back at Leo, my heart pounding in my chest. His eyes seemed to bore into my soul, filled with a fury I'd never seen before. I knew I had to keep my wits about me, or I'd be lost."Leo, calm down," I said, trying to

Lisa’s POVThe golden hues of sunset wrapped around us as we sat on that quiet bench, the world around us fading into a serene backdrop against the weight of our conversation. 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

His tousled hair and the faintest hint of stubble gave him an effortlessly handsome look. I felt a wave of affection wash over me. There was a calmness in our lives now, and the burden of the past no longer felt quite so heavy.After a few moments of admiring him, I quietly slipped from the bed, careful not to wake him. I padded to the kitchen, replaying our dinner last night in my mind. Planning our future together had felt exhilarating, but there remained an undercurrent of nerves.

The Heiress Revenge Chapter 82: Willows In The Wind

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.

With every whispered idea and assertion, I found reassurance in his presence, a grounding balance to my fervid passion. Then came the day I had circled on my calendar an exclusive charity gala hosted by Andre and his family.

A coldness settled in the pit of my stomach, a sensation I had become far too familiar with lately. I had spent countless hours immersed in spreadsheets and business plans, desperately trying to juggle the whirlwind that had become my life since the hostile takeover of Andre's company. But now, with my “perfect plan” coming to fruition, I found myself standing at a precipice, teetering on the edge of all I had fought for and all I had lost.As I gazed out into the winter wonderland of Ottawa, I could almost feel the weight of both my triumphs and my failures pressing down on me.

With each tick of the clock on the wall, unease coiled tighter in my stomach. What was happening to Lisa? I leaned against the cool wall, desperately willing the minutes to speed up, my mind racing through the possibilities. What if she were more hurt than I realized? I felt like a fool for not being more aware of her state. The guilt hung thick in the air, mingling with my fears about my own mess with Kate. Suddenly, Dr. Kenny emerged from the emergency room, his face serious but not grim. My breath caught; he had to have good news. “Mr. Santini, your wife is stable. She suffered from severe dehydration and stress, but we’ve started her on IV fluids. We’ll monitor her closely for a bit, and she should recover without complications.” I exhaled, relief flooding my body. “Thank you, Doctor. Can I see her?” “Soon, but first, I need to discuss som
