Lisa's POV

I tried. I fucking tried my best to avoid the temptation of Lisa, but it was impossible.

No matter how many times I told myself she was off limits, no matter how many boundaries I tried to build, she kept breaking through them without even knowing.

I tried being rude. I pushed her, ignored her, snapped at her, and gave her impossible tasks in hope she would quit and walk away from my world. I tried to control my own thoughts, my reactions, my fantasies, but nothing worked.

  • Fire Between Us!   80. Epilogue!

    Author's POVYears later.... "Louis?"Lisa passed through hallway to look for her husband. Her heels clicked against the marble floor eagerly. "Where is this man... We have a meeting to attend.""Lou___"She gasped when she was pulled inside the dark room by a strong hand. She instantly recognized that it's Louis. "What are you doing?""This!"He kissed her neck and sucked on it. "And this!"He kissed her passionately. Lisa was breathless when he was done with her. "Don't do this to me, I have work... I can't afford to shower and change now."She begged with smile on her face. He smirked and started sliding hand under her shirt. "Louis!"She slapped his hand away and pulled him out of the too. "We have a meeting."He sulked. "You don't love me anymore."She chuckled while turning towards him. "We had a sex in the morning so don't play this card on me... You have become a pro at manipulation."He grinned. "It never fails.""Today it will, let's go!"She started dragging hi

  • Fire Between Us!   79. The Wedding!

    Author’s POVAfter months of chaos, misunderstandings, planning, and emotional ups and downs, the day had finally arrived.It was their wedding day.Not the forced one that happened earlier under pressure and manipulation. Not the rushed ceremony that had more tension than happiness.This time it was real. This time it was the wedding they both actually wanted.The preparations had taken weeks. Louis had personally supervised almost everything even though he usually never cared about things like decorations, flowers, or themes.Earlier, marriage had been nothing more than a strategic alliance for him. A business move. Something powerful families did to strengthen their influence.Love had always sounded like a ridiculous concept to him. Something weak people believed in.But life had a strange way of changing people.Especially when a certain woman walked into their life and refused to leave their mind.When Louis first started planning the wedding, he was convinced that Lisa would wa

  • Fire Between Us!   78. Proposed!

    Lisa’s POVThe car stopped in front of the office building and my stomach instantly tightened.Louis stepped out first like he always did, calm and confident, like the world belonged to him. I followed him slowly and the moment my feet touched the ground, my eyes automatically moved toward the tall glass building in front of us.My office.The same place where my life used to be simple. But today it felt different.My heart started racing the moment I looked at the entrance.I stood there frozen for a second.People were going in and out of the building like every normal day. Employees chatting, some holding coffee cups, some looking at their phones while walking in.But for me it felt like walking into a battlefield.I swallowed slowly.“How am I supposed to face them?” The scandal. The news. Those pictures. Everyone had seen them.Everyone knew that I had suddenly married my boss. My mind immediately started imagining things like judgy eyes and whispers. “This is so weird,” I whi

  • Fire Between Us!   77. Little Childish!

    Lisa’s POVI woke up slowly, stretching my arms above my head while still half buried in the blanket. My body felt heavy and lazy, like I hadn’t rested properly. My head throbbed is slightly. Not painfully, just that dull heaviness that comes after a night when your mind refuses to sleep even when your body is exhausted.I stared at the ceiling for a moment.Last night's memory hit me like a sudden flash.The gunshot. Siana falling. Blood.My stomach tightened instantly.I swallowed hard and closed my eyes again, but it didn’t help. Her face appeared in my mind as clearly as if she was standing right in front of me. The shock on her face before she fell and the silence after the gunshot.A cold shiver ran through my body.“I killed someone,” I whispered to myself.Even saying it quietly made my chest feel tight.I turned to my side and hugged the pillow.The guilt was still there. Heavy and uncomfortable, sitting somewhere deep inside my chest like a stone that refused to move. No ma

  • Fire Between Us!   76. She deserves it!

    Author’s POVLouis noticed it immediately. The moment the gunshot echoed through the empty house, Lisa’s entire body went rigid. For a second she looked like she had frozen in place. Then the reality of what she had done started sinking in.Her hands began shaking uncontrollably.The gun was still in her grip, but her fingers had loosened around it. Her breathing turned uneven and shallow. Her chest moved rapidly as panic started building inside her.Louis knew that look. He had seen it before in people who had taken a life for the first time. He has been there. The moment he saw the panic taking over her, he moved quickly.“Lisa.”His voice was calm but firm as he walked toward her.She looked up at him like she was coming out of a nightmare.Her eyes were wide and glassy.“I…” Her lips trembled. “I…”Her fingers tightened around the gun again without realizing it.Louis carefully reached for her hands.“It’s okay,” He said quietly. His voice was steady and grounding.“Give me th

  • Fire Between Us!   75. The Culprit!

    Author’s POVLisa stared at Louis as if she had just seen a ghost step out of the darkness.For a few seconds she could not even process what was happening. Her mind had been running in circles ever since Siana pointed the gun at them, and now Louis suddenly appeared like he had been there the entire time.Her voice came out weak.“Louis…?”Her eyes moved over him carefully. He looked calm. Too calm for someone who had just walked into a dangerous situation where a woman was pointing a gun at him.Confusion slowly started replacing the fear inside her. If he was here… then why didn't he answer her calls?Her fingers tightened around the gun she had taken earlier. Her chest was still rising and falling fast from everything that had happened.She looked at Jack beside her. Jack gave her a small nod. That simple nod made her heart drop.He knew. He knew Louis was here.Lisa's brows slowly pulled together.“So… you knew he was here?” She whispered.Jack didn't say anything. His silence w

    Lisa's POVI snatched the knife from his hand before his skin could break and slapped him as hard as I could. The sound echoed in the apartment and my hand stung but I don't care."Are you fucking out of your mind?"My voice came out louder than I expected. My whole body was shaking. My vision blur

  • Fire Between Us!   24. Unbelievable!

    Lisa’s POVI never thought I would hear all of that from Louis. Not even in my wildest imagination. Not even in my worst fear dressed up as fantasy.The way he looked at me, like I was something he had already claimed in his head. The way he stepped closer, slow and deliberate, as if he had all the

    Lisa's POVThe audacity of him. He is the cheapest man I have ever meet and I loath myself for falling for him once. How could I be so dumb? My insides boiled whenever I saw him now.
