The Heiress Revenge Chapter 85: Unveiling Shadows
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
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 1: A child to wipe my tears
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
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 2: Happiness at last
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
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 3: Betrayal

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
The Heiress Revenge Chapter 4: Heartbroken
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.

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

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.

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 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. 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 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. Not after everything we’d been through.“We’ll need to talk about…everything.” His tone shifted, a hint of seriousness threadin

I felt my heart hammer against my ribs as I braced myself for the unexpected announcement one that would undoubtedly affect my carefully executed plans.“Ladies and gentlemen,” Andre began, his voice smooth and confident, the kind that could lull a crowd into a trance if you weren’t careful. “Tonight, I’m thrilled to announce a new partnership that will change the game for our community and the businesses within it.” He dramatically paused, his gaze sweeping across the audience as if relishing their anticipation. And that’s when I noticed her the woman who had caused the tremors in my world, standing by his side with an equally inviting smile.

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.

A means to catapult us back into the political arena of their world while shrouded in the guise of civility. The night arrived like a nightingale signaling spring after a long winter
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. 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
