Lisa's POV

The smell of butter and warm eggs filled the kitchen as I stirred slowly, humming to myself. I had woken up earlier than usual.

It was something about the way yesterday ended, the way Andre had looked at me when he returned.

He hadn’t snapped or walked past me like I was invisible. He accepted the water I gave him, sat at the table, and even ate with me. It seemed small, but to me, it meant something.

Yesterday was good. Strange, but good.

Stanley's message still played in my head. Stanley’s words came back to my mind.

“Mr Andre said to make sure you’re okay and requested you be taken care of today."

Simple words, but they made my chest warm.

Then Andre ate dinner with me instead of disappearing into his study. Maybe things were changing.

I didn’t know what made Andre soften all of a sudden, but I held onto it. Maybe it was guilt. Maybe it was just a good day. I didn’t care. I just liked that he seemed caring.

Today, I wanted to make him breakfast. Not because I had t

    Lisa's Pov“She’s clever,” I muttered. “She always pretended to be the victim. Now she’s pulling him back in again.”He stayed quiet for a moment. Then he said, “You sure he’s not the one doing the pulling?”I shot him a look. “Watch your tone.”He raised his hands in mock defense. “Relax. Just saying what it looks like. You know I’ve always called it straight.”I folded the photos back into the folder and shut it. "What do you want to do?" he asked. He took a step closer. I could see the concern in his eyes. He had always been soft for me. We went way back. He was the only one I could trust with this.I looked at him, my mind made up. The last bit of patience was gone.“What I should have done a long time ago,” I said.He frowned. “And that is?”“End it. For good.”His mouth tightened. “You don’t mean…”“I mean exactly that,” I said. “He’s made his choice. I’ll make mine. She is a problem. A persistent problem. I have been too gentle. That ends now.”He looked at me, eyes searc

    Lisa's PovCurtis’s manager cleared his throat and went back to his notes.We continued the meeting. We agreed on the terms for the art piece. We moved on to the creative parts of the project. Curtis wanted something bold but grounded, something that blended texture and light. It was challenging but exciting. I explained how the installation could use reflective paint and layered materials to bring out movement in the camera shots.He listened with real interest. “That sounds perfect. I want the visuals to stand out, not look like another overproduced backdrop.”“I can do that,” I said. “It just needs time and the right workspace.”Mara nodded. “She’ll get whatever she needs. The gallery will support production.”Curtis smiled at that, glancing at me again. “You’re lucky to have someone like Mara.”“I know,” I said honestly.Mara’s eyes softened at that, even if only for a second.The discussion went on for almost an hour. We talked about schedules, location access, and confidentiali

    Lisa's PovAbout Andre's suspicions. About Diane. About the private investigator. About our plan to work together.Riley listened quietly.She folded her arms. “So what, you two are partners now? A little investigative duo?”“Not partners,” I said quietly. “Just working together for now.”She shook her head. “I don’t like it.”“I know.”“Lisa, this is the same man who lied to you. Who made you feel small? Who-”“I know what he did,” I said, cutting her off. “But this isn’t about that. I’m not doing it for him.”Riley studied me for a long moment. “Then why?”“Because I need to know what really happened,” I said. “And I can’t do it alone. He has the connection I need.”She leaned back on the couch, sighing. “You’ve been different since that first meeting. Quieter. I knew something was going on.”I didn't bring up the fact that we had focused on her boyfriend only last night.“I didn’t tell you before because I wanted to be sure,” I said. “But now I am. I need to do this.”She looked a

    Lisa’s POVThe next day, I got a call. It was Andre. He wanted to meet again. I sighed. I did not picture us meeting so often."Okay," I said. "I did not think this would mean daily meetings. But I will not argue."He agreed to a time and place. Then he asked, "Did Riley say anything? About me driving you home last night?"I thought about it. "It skipped my mind.”“You forgot?” he sounded confused.“I didn’t forget,” I said. “It just didn’t come up. She mentioned she was spending the night at her new boyfriend’s place. That was pretty much all we talked about.”There was a short silence on the phone. "Oh," he said.By noon, I was already regretting agreeing so easily. We met at a quiet coffee shop. He was already there when I walked in, sitting by the window with his phone in his hand.He looked up and smiled when he saw me. “Right on time.”Andre looked happy as usual to see me.I looked out the window. “I only agreed to this meeting because I want answers. Nothing more.”“I k

    Lisa’s POVAndre told me everything. And it was not what I expected.He said he had suspected Diane. He noticed she was acting strange, and he hired a private investigator to look into her.I was surprised. "So, you really hired a detective?"He nodded. "I had to know the truth. I found out she was involved in your accident. She contacted the driver. But what I don't know is why."My mouth fell open. I could not speak. For a second, I just stared at him.I blinked. “Since when did you start suspecting her?”He ran a hand across his jaw like he was trying to choose his words. “A few months ago. I started noticing things that didn’t make sense. Like, why she had disappeared around the time of your accident, some statements she made didn't seem to add up either. She was also making phone calls that seemed suspicious because she ended the call when I came in. The way she got defensive every time your name came up.”I frowned. “That doesn’t mean anything.”“It did to me,” he said. “So

    Andre’s POVBy the time Lisa arrived at the restaurant, Lisa was already there. She sat in a corner of the restaurant hall just staring at her phone. It was hard not to notice how uncomfortable she looked.I paused at the entrance, just watching her for a second before walking over. I smiled as I reached the table. “You’re here early,” I said. “I wasn’t expecting that.”Her eyes looked up to mine, she sent a quick message, and nodded. Then she gave me her full attention.“I just didn’t want to be late.”“Well, I’m glad you asked to see me,” I said, taking the seat across from her. “I was surprised when you reached out.”She didn’t smile back. Instead, she pushed a glass toward me. “I took the liberty of ordering your drink.”I looked at it. Bright orange. A fruit juice. The kind of thing kids ordered at brunch. “This for me?”“Yes,” she said.I almost laughed. She knew I didn’t drink anything this sugary. It was her way of reminding me that I wasn’t in control here.I took a
