Summer scaredly locked the door the second Lisa walked in and went to the window to see if someone was following Lisa.
"What are you doing?" Lisa inquired as she approached Summer, who was still staring out the window."Trying to see whether you have been followed.""Stop acting silly." Lisa murmured annoying, strolling to one of their worn-out chairs, dropped her bag on it and seating down."You can't understand." Summer said as she drew down the blinds and headed to the second couch."Who is she?"Summer placed her finger on her lips to silence Lisa. "Don't talk too loudly; it's dangerous." She whispered."Now, you're scaring me." Lisa whispered back. "Who is she?""She is Ellen Swift."Summer said the name as if Lisa ought to know who she was but Lisa didn't. "Who is that?""I asked him, I mean my brother, the same question.""So, who is she?""She is one of Mr. Adrian Swift's daughters."Lisa sat up straight with dRelated chapters

Ricardo and Lisa went home right after work on Wednesday evening."Good evening." A lovely woman with a heavy makeover, who was standing at their entrance door with a box, addressed them."Good evening." The woman was unfamiliar to Lisa, so she responded with a professional smile on her face."Hello, my name is Laura. I'm a professional make-up artist."Lisa looked Ricardo in the eyes, but he feigned not to notice and moved passed the two women."Make-up artist?""Yeah." The woman responded with a smile. "I'll do your makeup tonight.""Oh..." Lisa said, a nod of her head accompanying her word."We don't have a lot of free time on our hands. We have to hurry up.""Okay."The two women entered the house, and Lisa promptly excused herself to take a shower.She hurriedly showered and changed into the stunning silver dinner gown that Ricardo had ordered for her before returning to the sitting room, where Laura was sitting calmly.

Lisa's phone rang on Friday of that week as Ricardo was taking them back home.She took her phone out of her bag slowly, checked the caller ID, and then answered it."Hello." She said into the phone, a smile on her face."Lisa." Summer called with a troubled tone in her voice."Summer?""I'd like you to come home right now."Lisa's brows knitted together in puzzlement, "why?""For the result.""Do you really mean it?" Lisa asked, casting a glance at Ricardo, who was focused on his driving."Yeah. Where exactly are you? Do you want me to come and pick you up?""No, don't be worried. I'm already on my way.""Hurry.""Okay, Fine. Bye." Lisa said as she hung up the phone and tucked it back into her bag. She turned to face Ricardo and said. "Can you drop me here?"A confused look crossed Ricardo's face as he slowed down and tilted his head in her direction. "Why?""I want to meet someone."Ricardo shrugged his sho

Lisa was baffled as to why her thoughts hadn't even wandered to the window until now, but she doesn't seem to care.After walking to the window and quietly sliding it open, she carefully climbed out of her room, taking care not to break her legs in the process.She sighed deeply as she gazed at the window of her room, attempting to reason with Summer, but no matter how hard she tried, she knew she needed some answers.After giving her room window one last look, she walked to the road, trying not to be seen by Summer, and attempted to hail a cab, but was unsuccessful."Damn!" She swore, trying to remember what time it was because it was already dark outside.She groaned deeply, knowing she couldn't afford to wait till tomorrow for her answers, and she made the decision to walk down to his house.≈Summer headed into Lisa's room an hour later, hoping to find her asleep, but when she found it vacant and saw her window wide open, she sighed loudl

He sat across from them, tears streaming down his cheeks uncontrollably from his eyes."Is it true?" His stepmother asked, her voice filled with concern.In response, he vigorously shook his head."We have just finished talking to Kim," his father said, his voice breaking with sadness.Kim was the name of the gatekeeper who had been present when the incident occurred."What did he tell you?"

My brother is in prison, and you're telling me to calm down "She said and moved closer to the car door."And where do you think you're going?"
