LOGINShe lost her memory, he lost his heart, but was she ever more than just a replacement? Andre had rescued Lisa after an accident, but unfortunately, she lost her memory. Andre then asked Lisa to become his contract lover. Over a period of time, their relationship transformed from hidden to open and from fake to something real. Andre even proposed to her. However, on the very day of the proposal, Andre encountered a woman who had been missing for three years (Diane), who turned out to be Andre’s first love, and Andre never gave up on finding her. Diane appeared mentally confused and physically weak. Andre immediately abandoned his newly engaged fiancée to care for Diane. It was at this point that Lisa discovered she looked remarkably similar to Diane. She realized that throughout these years, she had been nothing more than a substitute for Diane, with Andre even styling her clothing to match Diane’s preferences. After Diane’s return, Andre’s attitude towards Lisa changed dramatically. Diane got more of his attention after telling Andre that she had been kidnapped. Lisa was neglected by Andre and simultaneously provoked by Diane, with Andre believing Lisa was jealous of Diane. Utterly disappointed, Lisa decided to leave Andre. When Andre figures out, he actually loves Lisa and that Diane had been responsible for her accident, he goes in search of his love. Diane is psychotic, and her disappearance was staged; she faked her kidnapping to figure out if Andre would remain loyal. Now, with betrayal burning on all sides, and secrets threatening to explode, Lisa must reclaim her identity, her past… and her revenge. Because this time, she won’t just survive, she’ll make them all pay.

He built it carefully. He manages expansion, partnerships, and licensing. Investors trust him because, even though he was involved in so many scandals, he was none as eloquent in speech and confident as he was.They trust him because he has never shaken.That is about to change.The meeting was arranged quietly. Not anywhere linked directly to Andre’s office.A private conference suite at a hotel across town. Neutral ground. Discreet.Five men confirmed.All of them hold significant shares in the regional division he oversees.None of them is sentimental.I arrived early.I wore grey. Nothing loud. Noth
Diane's POVI studied my reflection. My face still looks soft. My eyes still look normal. No one would guess what I am thinking.He wants to play noble.I can play too.By evening, I was at the new house.I chose it months ago when I returned.Just in case.Everything in the house smelled new.Andre came two days later to check on the place. He brought a doctor’s number again. He brought vitamins.He looked around quietly.“It is secure,” he said. “That is good.”“Thank you,” I replied.He avoided my eyes.He thought I did not notice.The maid arrived the same day. A quiet, observant woman. “The assistant will start next week.” He said.Perfect.More eyes. More ears.He stood in the middle of the living room like a visitor.“You should call me if you need anything,” he said.“I will.”He looked like he wanted to say more.He did not.When he left, I stood by the door and watched his car disappear.Then I locked it behind him.If he wants to send gifts to Lisa, I will know. If he meet
Diane's POVI wake up before the sun most days now.Not because I am tired. Not because I am sick. I wake up because my mind is so restless.This is still his house.Even though he moved out.Even though he said he needed space.Even though he sleeps in a hotel, like I am the intruder and not the woman he believes is ‘carrying his child’.I had thought that this idea of having a child with him will make him be around more, but it seemed not to have the desired effect.He checks on me. He sends money. He calls. He asks if I have eaten. He sounds responsible. Guilty. Dutiful.I told myself he would come back fully if the fake baby was born.The mansion was too quiet for my liking. I sat by the window and watched the garden. Andre had not been home in weeks. He came by for visits now, like I was a patient in a hospital. He brought flowers and asked how I was feeling. He never stayed long.My phone buzzed. It was Cam, the man I paid to watch Andre. Cam rarely calls. He prefers to send sho
Lisa's PovI felt my jaw tighten. He was saying I brought noise. “You have never worked with politicians before,” he went on. “You do well with property cases and contracts. Those are small and tidy. This is messy and public. Do not be insulted. It is just different.”“The client had their preferences,” I said. He shrugged like he had not heard that in the slightest. Dwayne was a man who had been given chances because he knew how to kiss asses. He had never had to fight for a case like Tom Carter’s. He had never walked into a room where the stakes were names and reputations and the press. He had never had a client like that look him in the eye and ask for a change.The thought made something in me turn. The firm was not perfect. It had its plays and its politics. I had come back into the law and found that new maps had been drawn. Kenneth had called me Rachel in that same meeting. He had trusted me. That vote of confidence mattered more than the gossip of a junior partner. It matte
Lisa's PovWhat did I do? What happened between Tom Carter and me? It was connected to my father. It had to be. But what was it? Was it a legal case? A personal argument? Did I threaten him? Did I accuse him of something?The not knowing was a hole inside me. People kept referring to a past I could
Lisa's POV Ross gave me a long look to see if he wanted to answer something I could not. “You have history. You, of all people you should know. You should play this smart.”Kenneth’s face tightened. He did not like the line Ross had drawn. “We will not make decisions just like that. We'll delibera
Lisa's POV The morning started like any other. I arrived early and opened my drawer. The Carter folder sat where I left it. I wanted the quiet hours to do the deep work. The numbers and receipts gave me a place to stand. Facts were steady. People were not.I was at my desk, reviewing a witness sta
Andre's PovThat night I went back to the hotel and tried to sleep. The images of Lisa's face when she had seen me with Diane still haunted me. I wanted to call her and tell her everything. I wanted to say, do not believe any story until you ask me. I wanted to step back into a place where the thin
