The door creaked open and an astounding figure from Lissie Jones made Colton Vistagra drift his eyes on her. He put his pen down, along with shutting his computer the moment she came inside. Bearing her icy glares, Lissie narrowed her eyes at him.“It's a surprise you came here,” Colton smirked. “How may I help you?”Lissie made a sound. She clicked her tongue before scoffing. “Are you in the middle of doing something with Andy?” She inquired. Colton raised his eyebrow. “Andy and I—” before he could finish his statement, Lissie cut him off. “I want to ask you something,” Lissie affirmed— disregarding the topic about Andy. She doesn't care about her, why would she exert an energy to tackle Andy? However, the importance of Andy in Colton's life made Lissie realize it. Colton can't hide the annoyance in his face due to Lissie's quick change of behavior. She's far from the Lissie he once married five years ago. Her charm evolved into becoming more regal, ballistic, and her icy indiffe
She chuckled, a little disgusted at the sign of his audacity. “You still hold the face of someone who has no shame, Colton.” She disgustingly affirmed. “I did nothing wrong yet, but you demand answers. I believe that's fair.” Colton asserted in a gentle way. Lissie Jones held her ground. She took a deep breath, closing her eyes before nodding her head. “Tell me, what conditions do you need for you to answer my questions?” Challenging Lissie's rising temper, Colton said, “Break up with Louis Brown. End your marriage with him if possible. Sign a divorce paper and move back with me to Brook Canyon Residence.” ‘I knew it. This man really has no shame!’ Hearing Colton's condition made Lissie speechless. She was at least taken aback. She didn't think his request would be too much. Brook Canyon Residence was once called home for Lissie and Colton. They stayed at the residence while being a married couple for years. However, thinking it was indeed a ‘home’ for them made Lissie feel hilario
‘Friendship? How ironic! Indeed, she has the face of an iron fist. Thick just like how it is.’ Lissie thought. Her grip on her bag tightened, resisting herself on bursting out and making a scene. Well, it's not her cup of tea. For her, Lissie would rather tease her enemy. Well, indeed you can't buy a class using money. Twisting her hands, Lissie stroked her hair using her fingers before speaking. “I don't know where the fuck did you find the guts to talk about friendship now. For your information, it sailed a few years ago.” She sneered, skimming Andy's face. “What should I expect from someone like you though? Our family seems to be great at providing welfare for ungrateful members who are dishonest and betraying members.” Lissie affirmed, making Andy Moore clenched her fist. A mocking smirk crept on her lips. Lissie made an exit, denying Andy a chance for rebuttal. She started the engine of her Ferrari, leaving Andy under the shadow of her limited edition Rolls Royce she probably

Just like the old times, the Vistagra residence remained lavish in her eyes. Nothing changed. It was still the same lucrative mansion built in the middle of a vast land owned by the Vistagra family. The fine marbles used were still intact. The American structured house has been well maintained for years as it was built during the 1890's. The manor remained classic, and the wow effect is still there despite being centuries old. The car’s door swung open and Lissie stepped out. She took her sunglasses off before nibbling her lower lip. The cold wind oozes her skin, as her hair has been blown by the wind. Being at the same residence she once called home feels nostalgic. All the sad memories she once tried to swing away from her mind came back. ‘Ah. What a painful comeback.’ Lissie told herself in her mind. Callie held her hand. “Let's go inside and surprise Grandpa!” She excitedly affirmed then pulled her ex sis in law inside. Her heart was screaming in pain. She was trying to forge
Hearing Kaleb's words made Lissie's heart melt. Indeed, the old man treated her like his own family and granddaughter. Christian Vistagra made everything possible for Lissie when she was still living with them. The old man was Lissie's protector from the cunning Vistagta household. “Where is he?” Lissie couldn't contain her emotions asking those questions to her. Kaleb gave him a smile. “I will escort you to his room Mrs. Vistagra.” Kaleb led her the way to his chamber. She wiped the tears that escaped her eyes. As much as possible, Lissie didn't want the old man to see her crying. She wasn't the same old, and weak Lissie anymore, rather, she should be the lion everyone should be afraid of. The huge door opened. Kaleb let her inside until her eyes set to the old man who's sitting at his bed whilst wearing his eyeglasses. He had a newspaper in his hand until the door swung open. “Grandpa…” Lissie's voice was shaking. Hearing Lissie's voice, the old man tried to stand up and give
The sun was at its peak, yet Lissie stood outside her husband’s dim lit office, sweating from her forehead down to her neck. The door was slightly opened. Lissie held onto her belly tight, nibbling her lower lip whilst listening to two people talking inside. Dr. Lando Hemsworth is inside having a tense conversation with her husband Colton Vistagra. “Why has her situation gotten worse out of the blue, Doctor?” Worry lies in his eyes. “How many more blood transfusions does she need?” The doctor shook his head before sighing heavily. “It's a blood transfusion needed, Mr. Vistagra. A bone marrow implant is the only way,” he paused momentarily. “But the tricky part here is, you might lose the baby. If the baby survives, it might face several handicaps throughout the pregnancy. Keep in mind that Missus Vistagra's life will also be in great danger.” Lissie saw how Colton's eyes were piercing thoroughly. His cold, regal stares were penetrating her heart. Colton was fidgeting his fingers un
It pains Lissie to admit that she's ready to leave the lavish room she once stayed in for the last few years. She just had packed her things, ready to disappear before her wicked husband finds out. The room that symbolizes luxury, rigged out by Colton, has now finally became a painful reminder of Colton's unloyalty. Not to mention the perfect time to leave is the rain pouring hard outside matched with a thunderstorm. The essence of her tidy and minimalist room no longer holds value. Soon, his other woman would vacate this room. Startled by the sight of a pregnant woman across from her, Ember Wrington hurriedly came to see Lissie with her worried eyes. “What’s going on? Why are you suddenly leaving, Missus Vistagra? This is not something you should mend! Your due date is soon, it's crucial for you to stay in this manor. Mr. Vistagra would be worried about the baby!” ‘Worried? At what ground?’ Lissie’s mind was filled with clouded thoughts. She hoisted her gazes, looking at the house
