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. "Lisa and Leo, your love is a beautiful thing. It has brought light and joy into our lives, and we are so grateful to have you both as part of our family."As she spoke, Leo took my hand, his fingers intertwining with mine. I felt a surge of love and happiness, knowing that this was just the beginning of our journey together.Grandma continued, her voice weaving a spell of love and commitment over us. "Today, we gather to celebrate your love, and to witness your commitment to each other. Lisa and Leo, will you please repeat after me?"We nodded, our voices echoing
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
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 61: Trauma's House
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
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 63: Threats
LISA'S POV I woke up before dawn, the darkness outside mirroring the turmoil within me. Leo's words still lingered in my mind, "I don't know if I can keep pretending, Lisa." Pretending what? That our marriage was just business? I couldn't shake off the feeling that he was playing me again.As I tossed off the covers, the chill of the morning air slapped me awake. I slipped into my robe and began my morning routine, determined to clear my head. The soft hum of the coffee maker and the aroma of freshly brewed coffee filled the kitchen.I moved with precision, preparing breakfast and setting the table. The sunlight creeping through the windows highlighted the elegant china and crystal glasses, a stark contrast to the tension simmering beneath the surface.My father's company had been my life's focus since I was a teenager. Now, as Leo's wife, I was vulnerable to my father's wrath. Our marriage had ignited a firestorm of rivalry, with my father determined to test my loyalty.As I expertl
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 64: Tales
LISA'S POVI walked out of the office, the USB drive securely in my purse, I couldn't help but feel a sense of determination. This wasn't over."Lisa, darling," Louisa called out, her voice dripping with condescension. "Don't forget to pack up your ego along with your belongings."I turned back, a sweet smile spreading across my face. "Louisa, dear, you're going to need more than just Father's favor to fill my shoes."Her eyes narrowed. "I'll have you know, I've been learning from the best – Father. And I'll make sure to erase every trace of your incompetence."I chuckled, a low, husky sound. "Incompetence? That's rich coming from someone who's only achievement is being born first."Louisa's face reddened, but before she could retort, a smooth voice interrupted." Ladies, please. No need for bloodshed in the office."I turned to see Alexander, a successful businessman and old family friend, standing in the doorway. His piercing blue eyes sparkled with amusement."Alexander, perfect ti
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 65: In A Tunnel
LISA'S POV"Who is this?" I typed, my thumbs hovering over the screen. "No names. Just come," the response read.I showed Leo the exchange. His eyes narrowed. "Don't go, Lisa. It's not safe."I understood his concern, but something about the message resonated. This could be our chance to uncover the truth. "I have to," I said, determination etched on my face.Leo's expression softened. "Then I'm coming with you." I shook my head. "The message said to come alone.""I don't care," Leo insisted. "I'm not letting you go into this blind.” His protectiveness warmed my heart, but I knew I had to do this alone. "Leo, please. Trust me."After a tense moment, he nodded. "Fine. But you're calling me the moment you arrive, and I'll be waiting nearby." I agreed, relief washing over me.At midnight, I pulled into the deserted office parking lot, the only sound the hum of the streetlights. The message had specified the north corner, so I parked there, my heart pounding. A figure emerged from the sha
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 66: From The Root
LISA'S POV I stood there, frozen, as Leo disappeared into the night. "Lisa?" a voice echoed in my mind.His words lingered, stirring emotions I thought were long buried. Did I still love him too?Or was I just desperate to hold onto something familiar? The questions swirled, but I pushed them aside. Now wasn't the time.I took a deep breath and focused on the task at hand. Taking down Louisa.As I drove home, my phone buzzed with an incoming text from Alexander. "Meet me at the office tomorrow at 9 AM. We'll finalize our plan."I nodded to myself, determination solidifying. Tomorrow would be the day. The day we brought Louisa to justice.But little did I know, tomorrow would also bring its own set of surprises. As I pulled into my driveway, I noticed a strange car parked outside. My heart quickened. Who could it be?I cautiously approached the house, peering through the windows. A figure sat in the living room. My eyes widened.It was my father. The man I thought was innocent.

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

I stretched lazily in bed, the warmth from under the covers wrapping around me like a comforting embrace. The light filtering in through the window hinted at a promising day ahead, filled with opportunity and potential.Rolling over, I smiled at the sight of Leo, still lost in dreamland. 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.

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.

Leo and I spent hours in my office, poring over documents and strategies, our collaboration gradually morphing into a formidable partnership. 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.

The Heiress Revenge Chapter 78: A Reckoning
Kate's POVThe snow fell softly outside the frosted windows of my office, each flake a delicate reminder of how fragile life could be.

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
