Chapter 40: Headless Point

LISA'S POV My dad spoke up, his voice firm but resigned. "You know what, maybe Louisa's right. You can marry Leo, Lisa. But don't come running back to me when things go south. Because I won't be able to help you then."My mum nodded in agreement, her eyes filled with concern. "Lisa, sweetie, please reconsider. You're making a huge mistake."But I was resolute. "No, mum. I've made up my mind. I'm going to marry Leo, and I'll deal with the consequences."My dad sighed, shaking his head. "Fine. But don't say I didn't warn you. You're playing with fire, Lisa. And you're going to get burned."My mum tried again, her voice soft and persuasive. "Lisa, think about what you're doing. Think about the family business, about your future. Is Leo really worth risking all of that?"But I was stubborn, refusing to listen. "I'm not risking anything, mum. I'm following my heart. And that's all that matters."My dad threw up his hands, exasperated. "Fine. Do what you want. But don't come crying to me w

Chapter 41: Loud Game

LISA'S POV I finally shook off the gloomy mood and picked up my phone, dialing Leo's number with a sense of determination. He answered on the first ring, his voice smooth and detached as always."Hey, Lisa. What's up?""I was thinking we should meet up tomorrow to discuss some things," I said, trying to sound casual despite the excitement building up inside me."Okay, sure. My office at 2 pm?""Sounds perfect," I replied, already imagining the look on Andre's face when he found out about our meeting."See you then," Leo said, his tone still lacking any enthusiasm. I knew he didn't care about me or our fake relationship; it was just a means to an end for him.I hung up the phone and couldn't help but feel a thrill of excitement. This was it, the start of my plan for revenge.As I hung up the phone with Leo, I felt a surge of excitement mixed with nerves.

Chapter 42: The Mind Of The Crazy One

LISA'S POVAs I stepped into my hotel room, I felt a wave of relief wash over me. Finally, I could escape the tension that had been building up all day. I locked the door behind me and leaned against it, letting out a deep sigh. My eyes scanned the room, taking in the plush carpet, the soft glow of the table lamps, and the inviting bed. I kicked off my heels and padded across the floor, feeling the softness of the carpet beneath my feet.I flopped down onto the bed, swinging my legs up onto the duvet. The softness enveloped me, and I let out a contented sigh. But as I lay there, I couldn't shake off the feeling that Andre and his girlfriend were still out there, watching me. I sat up, my heart racing, and scanned the room again. But I was alone.I tried to focus on my breathing, to calm myself down. But my mind kept wandering back to Andre's words. What did he know about Leo? And why was he so determined to sabotage my plans?I threw off the duvet and got out of bed, pacing across the

Chapter 43: Progress

LISA'S POV I let out a deep breath and dropped my hands to my sides, feeling a sense of defeat wash over me. "Liam, I'm sorry. I was wrong to try to make you do something you didn't want to do. I know you're just trying to help me, and I appreciate that."Liam's expression softened, and he nodded. "It's okay, Lisa. I understand what you're going through. But let's just focus on finding a way to deal with Andre that doesn't involve using me as a prop, okay?"I nodded, feeling a pang of guilt. I had been planning on using Liam all along, even if he didn't know it. I had wanted him to pretend to be my boyfriend, to make Andre jealous. But now, I felt ashamed of myself."Let me go get us some wine," I said, trying to change the subject. "I could use a drink."Liam nodded, and I got up from the couch, walking over to the mini-bar in the corner of the room. I opened it and scanned the selection, my eyes landing on a bottle of red wine. I reached for it, but as I did, my hand slipped and th

Chapter 44: Getting Dirty

LISA'S POV Andre's girlfriend was like a wild animal, jumping up and down, her eyes blazing with fury. She made a sudden move, slapping me across the face with a loud crack. I felt a surge of pain and shock, my cheek stinging from the impact. I held up my cheek, tears pricking at the corners of my eyes."You crazy bitch!" I shouted, my anger boiling over. "You think you can just hit me and get away with it?"I launched myself at her, determined to fight back. We clashed, our hands pulling at each other's hair, our nails scratching at each other's skin. We stumbled around the room, knocking over chairs and tables, our clothes getting torn and ripped.Andre and Liam rushed to separate us, but we were like two wildcats, hissing and spitting at each other. We fought hard, our bodies tangled together, our faces red with rage."Let me go!" I shouted, trying to wriggle free from Andre's grasp. "I'll show her who's boss!""No way," Andre said, holding me tight. "You're not going to hurt her,

Chapter 45: The Travel

LISA'S POV As we entered the hotel room, Liam made his way to the couch, his movements quiet and reserved. I watched him, feeling a pang of guilt for the way I had treated him earlier. I knew I had used him, and I knew he deserved better."Here, Liam," I said, grabbing a mattress from the closet. "Take this. You can't sleep on the couch without a blanket."Liam looked up at me, his eyes expressionless. "Thanks, Lisa," he said, his voice flat.I handed him the mattress, and he took it, his movements economical. He spread it out on the couch, his eyes never meeting mine."Goodnight, Lisa," he said, turning away from me.I nodded, feeling a sense of awkwardness. "Goodnight, Liam."I turned and made my way to the bed, my heart racing with thoughts of Andre and our earlier confrontation. I couldn't shake the feeling of anger and betrayal that had been building inside me all night.As I lay in bed, I couldn't sleep. My mind was racing with thoughts of revenge, of ways to make Andre pay for

Chapter 46: Below The Surface

LISA'S POV I sank into the warm bathwater, I felt the tension in my muscles begin to ease. The events of the past 24 hours had left me feeling drained, both physically and emotionally. I closed my eyes, letting the water work its magic, and began to think about everything that had happened.Liam's face kept popping into my mind. The way he had stood up to Leo, the way he had looked at me with such concern and care. I couldn't help but feel a pang of guilt for using him like I had. He deserved so much better than to be dragged into my drama.After my bath, I got dressed and ready to go. Liam was waiting for me in the car, his eyes fixed on the road ahead. We didn't say much as he drove me to the house, the silence between us comfortable.When we arrived, Liam turned to me and said, "I'm not going to come in with you, Lisa. I think I've had enough drama for one day."I nodded, understanding. "Yeah, that's probably for the best."Liam smiled wryly. "I'll talk to you later, okay?"I nod

Chapter 47: Bells

LISA'S POV I expected a barrage of questions and lectures from my parents. But instead, they barely looked at me, their faces exhausted and resigned. The tension in the air was palpable, but it wasn't the usual anger and frustration I was used to. It was something else, something that looked almost like... apathy.We ate in silence, the only sound the clinking of silverware on plates. I couldn't believe it. Had they finally given up on me? Were they so tired of my drama and issues that they just didn't care anymore?Just as I was starting to relax, the doorbell rang. The help, Maria, got up to answer it, and I heard a murmur of voices in the hallway.Then, Maria appeared in the doorway with Leo behind her. My heart skipped a beat as our eyes met, and I felt a rush of emotions I couldn't quite process."Leo, what are you doing here?" my father asked gruffly, his voice dripping with disapproval."I came to see Lisa," Leo replied, his eyes never leaving mine.My father scowled. "I don't

Chapter 48: A World Of My Own

LISA'S POV As I stepped into the house, the soft creak of the door seemed to echo through my weary soul. I felt like I was carrying the weight of the world on my shoulders, each step a laborious effort to escape the drama that had been unfolding outside. The warm glow of the hallway lights enveloped me, a gentle embrace that seemed to whisper, "You're safe now."I trudged through the foyer, my eyes fixed on the plush carpet beneath my feet, as if willing myself to leave the turmoil behind. The soft rustle of my clothes seemed amplified in the silence, a reminder that I was still tethered to reality.My gaze drifted up to the mirror hanging on the wall, and for a moment, I was taken aback by my own reflection. Dark circles under my eyes seemed to bore into my skin like bruises, a testament to the sleepless nights and worry-filled days. My skin looked pale, almost translucent, as if the very life was being drained from me.With a deep sigh, I began to climb the stairs, each step a slow

Chapter 49: Whichever Way To Go

LISA'S POV I settled onto my bed, surrounded by the familiar comforts of my room. My bag was packed, and I was ready for the trip to Leo's grandmother's place. But my mind was still reeling from the conversation with my parents. Their indifference stung, and I couldn't shake off the feeling of being alone in this charade.Just as I was starting to drift into a restless sleep, my phone rang, shrill in the silence. I hesitated, my hand hovering over the receiver. The number was unfamiliar, and I wondered if it was work-related. With a sigh, I picked up, expecting a dull conversation about sales reports or marketing strategies.But instead, Marcus's voice dripped with sarcasm, his words laced with a mocking tone. "Well, well, well. Look who finally decided to answer. I was starting to think you'd forgotten about the trip tomorrow."I rolled my eyes, a familiar irritation creeping up my spine. Marcus loved getting under my skin, and I knew better than to engage. "What do you want, Marcus
