Lisa’s POV Two weeks after my wedding, I discovered I had been carrying a dead child inside of me. I didn’t even know I was pregnant to begin with. It all started with that dream. First off I do not believe in dreams but certain things have happened and I am beginning to think otherwise. I had dreamt of attending a funeral with my husband. I didn’t know who had died or why I was there. All I knew was that someone was dead. Only for me to go to the hospital and just like that, I was immediately operated on. It’s been three years since that incident and I have never been pregnant. Now all I want is simple; a normal life. I didn’t want to control a business or be famous. All I wanted was a happy home, a loving husband and little versions of me and Andre running around the house, but then the last part of my wishes are yet to come to pass. You know, they say a child is a gift from God but here I am staring at a woman named Sarah, asking the nurse, places she could go to get a bab
Lisa’s POV“So how was the visit to the hospital?” Andre asked. He had asked that I go get checked when I began sleeping around the house.What I didn’t tell him was that I didn’t go. I didn’t want to put my hopes up on something, only to get disappointed again like the last time. I never want to feel that way again. “Good!” I replied, plastering a smile on my face as I buried myself in the cooking. I increased the speed of the blender. Maybe if the noise became too much, he would quietly walk away from the kitchen. Andre stood right in front of fridge. He didn’t pick a fruit or anything. He had already drank a glass of water, so I wondered what he was still doing here. When ever the blender stopped, I would start it all over again. I repeated the process until Andre gave up and walked out of the kitchen.During dinner, Andre still didn't want to drop it.“What did the doctor say baby?” he turned to me and looked me in the eye. My mouth went dry but I didn’t dare swallow. Not with A
Lisa’s POVI stiffened immediately on seeing the face on the video. It was blurry but I could still make out the faces. It was Andre and a female I had never seen before. Andre Luster. My husband. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing.They were buck naked on the bed. I pinched myself in hopes that this was some sick game targeted at me but the more I stared at the video, the more real it became and the more I recognized who the male is in the coital affair.No! this is just an attack. Who ever this is knows I am the wife of billionaire, Andre Luster. This must be some AI shit.I threw my phone on the bed and walked into the shower. The water was too cold. I got out and went to get myself some food but it was too hot. Suddenly I was feeling too hot. I felt like some prisoner in my clothes. I walked around the house but I still was not satisfied. Finally I went for a swim. As I sat, trying to catch my breath, then the tears began to fall freely. This time I did nothing to stop it. I
Lisa’s POV“It’s a baby Lisa! Have some mercy!” Andre yelled at me that night. I had confronted him immediately in our bed room.“I don’t care! I don’t want to see her here!” I screamed louder. I was this close to losing it.“I can’t send her away, she has my child,” he grumbled.“What! I can’t believe the nerve— I sneered— you cheated on me and brought back a receipt and you had the guts to throw it in my face? What of me? My— ” I was about to tell him about my own baby when he interrupted me.“My hands are tied,” he announced.“So you are going to sit there like a dummy and do nothing?” I turned my head to the side. The next thing I know is I am being shoved.Andre pinned me to the wall. “I have had enough of your stupid attitude.“ He growled. “If you had quietly gotten pregnant, this would not be the case!” he warned me.“What?” I gasped. Shock reverberated through my body. I couldn’t believe those words were coming from Andre. My Andre.Andre walked out of the room.I slowly sank
Lisa’s POVAt this point I believe I had been cursed. On Monday, Shelly, because that was her name, the girl my husband cheated with, messed with my smoothie combination. She ate up all the apple. I swiftly told Andre and he told me to be more accommodating. That she was pregnant. I had to let that slide.On tuesday, she occupied the sitting room with her bitchy friends and they laughed like witches. I couldn’t concentrate on the book I was reading.On wednesday, she made Andre’s mother yell at me. She had told her series of things about me and when I entered the sitting room she stopped talking. Before Andre’s mother left, she warned me to let Shelly carry her baby to full term, since I didn’t want to get pregnant. That hurt me so bad, even though I was pregnant, it still hurt.On thursday, she told the delivery guy to take my package back, that this was the wrong address. I didn’t react so much because I didn’t want to stir up trouble. It was on Friday that I couldn’t take it anymo
Lisa’s POV 3 months later, after I finally picked the pieces of my life back, I went back to work with dad. He made me the chief Finance Officer. Honestly working was hard. It was a herculean task but I was up for the challenge. Well except for today.I sat in a fully air conditioned office but had beads of sweat running down my cheeks and no matter how many times I had swiped them away, there was more from where that came from. My phones and the land lines have been ringing none stop all morning. The company was on fire. Well Hypothetically.Over the weekend, a very damaging rumor arose like the stench from a refuse dump. It’s been said that Kay conglomerate were about to go bankrupt. I has had clients and customers breathing down my neck in the last 10hrs. She had begged and cried and barked and screamed. None worked. I ran my hand over my wavy locks, making it more of a mess, than it was before. I searched through my bag and took out a pack of tissues. I had exhausted the one i
Lisa's POVI leaned my back on my car. I was frustrated as I felt a sense of unease, the only thing that could be felt through me was the anger I felt towards Andre Luster, my ex husband.A black cloth was covered on my head as I wrapped it around my neck. I didn't want to be seen by anyone so at that moment I had to be discreet in hiding my identity otherwise before I would carry out my plans, it would flop right in my face. I was outside Andre's mansion and I could hear their happy laughters coming from inside. It seemed as though they were contented with everything. Happiness came knocking on their door at the expense of snatching my own happiness from me. I could feel them rubbing their perfect lives on my face and how they were taunting me with words I couldn't hear.The thought of everything felt as though a knife was plunged through my chest. Even if everyone turned their backs on me, I was still surprised on what came over Andre. The way he acted and how he instantly switche
LISA'S POV I sat at my desk, feeling stuck. Liam and I had been talking about getting Leo involved in the issue for as long as I could remember, but I still couldn't make up my mind."I don't know, Liam," I said, throwing up my hands. "I want to hurt Andre so bad, but involving Leo feels like a huge risk. Not after knowing what he is to us, I mean my father, it stresses me out.”Liam leaned back in his chair. "I get it, but think about what you could gain. You could take down Andre and his whole empire."I stood up and started pacing around the room. "I know, but it's not just about winning or losing. It's about me, and what I'm willing to do to get revenge."I grabbed my bag and headed out the door, my mind still racing. As I drove home, I couldn't shake off the feeling that I was in over my head.When I got home, I collapsed onto the couch, feeling exhausted. I thought about Leo, and what he was offering me. I thought about Andre, and how much I wanted to hurt him.But most of all,
