Lisa's POV

The moment Vincent finally loosened his grip around my wrists, I honestly expected to feel relief.

Instead, I felt my strength leave me. My body suddenly went weak, as though I had been drained of the last bit of strength left in me.

It happened so suddenly that my knees almost betrayed me. The room tilted slightly, my vision blurring at the edges as a wave of dizziness swept through me.

I quickly reached up to my head, pressing my fingers against my temple as if that alone could g

  • I Faked My Death & Married His Ruthless Stepdad for Revenge   Chapter 051

    Lisa's POV I was still standing there, staring at Vincent like my brain was struggling to process what I was seeing.The powerful, terrifying man everyone feared had actually spent the entire night sleeping on the floor outside his own room.Because of me.The thought was strange. Almost unbelievable.His back was against the wall, his long legs folded awkwardly, his black shirt slightly wrinkled from the way he had slept, his head tilted to the side as if he had fought sleep for as long as he could before his body finally gave up.For a few seconds, I didn't know what to do.I didn't know whether I should be angry, touched, or just frustrated that this man had a way of making everything harder for me.My legs moved before my mind even decided what to do.I stepped closer and lightly pushed my foot against his shoulder.Nothing.He didn't move.My brows furrowed.I pushed him again, slightly harder this time.Still nothing."Seriously, Vincent?" I muttered under my breath.I pushed h

    Lisa's POV "What—" My voice broke on the word. "What did you just say to me"Lisa—" Vincent stepped forward immediately, hand reaching out, face completely overtaken by regret. "Wait. I don't mean it like that. That came out wrong—I swear that's not what I—"“Stop. Don’t come close—” The tears suddenly burst out all at once.He stepped forward. “Lisa, listen to me. I didn’t mean to say that part. It was an accident and I didn’t mean it like that. Lisa please—” He tried to come closer.I moved back quickly.Vincent’s face tightened. “Lisa, I swear—I didn’t mean it like that. Just hear me out first—”“You think I did this to hurt you?” My voice suddenly broke as tears poured out like a broken drainage.I continued, “You think I was trying to punish you? Vincent, I was scared. I felt genuinely scared the second I found out I was six weeks gone. I didn’t want you to feel bad. I thought I was protecting you by delaying the truth. But this is….” I broke down. “This is what you have to say

    Lisa's POV His eyes searched mine. “You must have missed your period, haven't you?”I looked away. My silence answered him.“You must have been feeling dizzy, am I wrong? You must have been throwing up. You keep losing your appetite every fucking second. All of those signs—every single one of them—and you still weren't sure?”His voice became heavier. “You must have felt completely different. You must have been tired. Sick. Your body was changing, Lisa.” He stepped closer again. “And you’re telling me you noticed nothing?”I opened my mouth, but no words came—because I knew. I knew he was right.“I didn’t know how to tell you,” I finally whispered. Vincent's expression changed, something painful flashing across his face. “But you knew how to leave me?”I froze.Vincent looked away, shaking his head. “That’s what you did, Lisa.” His voice dropped;“You didn’t come to me. You didn’t trust me enough to tell me the truth.” He pointed at his chest. “You pushed me away.” His eyes return

    Lisa's POV The question Vincent threw at me stayed trapped inside my head throughout the entire flight back home.I had heard him.I had seen the hurt on his face when he asked me how I could hide something so important from him, but the one thing I couldn’t stop thinking about was the final thing he said.The question that completely destroyed every single excuse I had been holding onto.‘What made you think I wouldn’t accept the baby?’I didn’t have an answer.Because the truth was… I didn’t know.I didn’t know why I was so afraid.Maybe because the moment I realized I was six weeks gone, everything suddenly became complicated.God… it wasn’t just a pregnancy. It wasn’t just a baby.It was a piece of Christopher.A piece of the man who had hurt me.A man whose name alone still carried a weight I didn’t know how to handle.And Vincent… Vincent had spent every second proving to me that he was nothing like the person I was afraid of.Yet I still doubted him.I still pushed him away.A

    Lisa's POV Christopher looked back at me again, clearly restless. “Have we—” He paused, then shook his head slightly. “No. Never mind. Forgive me.” A small smile flickered on Vincent’s face, but he quickly hid it before Christopher could notice. Christopher blinked sharply, then turned back to Vincent, and their conversation continued. But even as they spoke, Christopher kept getting distracted—his attention drifting back to me again and again. They talked about the ceremony, the arrangements, and a few business associates who had attended. Christopher did most of the talking, yet his eyes never really left me. It wasn’t just curiosity. There was something deeper in the way he kept looking. Something I couldn’t understand. I was still watching his strange behavior when my gaze shifted—and then I saw him. Gabriel. My uncle. The same man who had attacked Papa James, taken control of my company, and stolen everything I had built. And now he was standing at my funeral—God, my

    Lisa's POV The helicopter blades finally slowed down, but the silence that followed wasn't the same silence from before.It was heavier.Everyone was still trying to understand what had just happened.A few seconds ago, this place had been a funeral ground filled with grief, quiet prayers, and people pretending they were here because they cared about Lisa.Now, it felt like the entire atmosphere had shifted the moment Vincent Storm stepped onto the ground.The servants moved quickly, fixing the chairs that had been scattered by the wind. Some of the guests helped themselves, adjusting their clothes, picking up hats, and pretending they weren't just completely thrown off by the arrival that had shaken the entire place.But even as everyone returned to their seats, nobody was truly paying attention anymore.The priest was still speaking.The ceremony was still continuing.But every single person's attention kept drifting away.Back to Vincent—And more importantly, the woman sitting b

    Lisa's POV "He's gone ma'am." Mary was sobbing now, fully, the kind of crying that shook through a person's whole body. "He's gone, he's really gone, I'm so sorry Ma'am—" Mary couldn't control her tears."Mary." My hand tightened around the phone. "Mary, tell me what happened. Tell me everything r

    Lisa's POV Vincent walked in and his eyes found me immediately. I was sitting up against the headboard trying to look like I had not spent the entire day waiting for him to come back. I don't think it was working. He didn't say anything right away. He just stood there for a moment, looking at me
