Lisa James: Books Novels & Stories

Please Let Me Go Lisa's Pov I fidgeted with my napkin, my eyes scanning the bustling cafe. Why had James insisted on meeting here, in such a public place? I knew Damian was on a flight right now, but I couldn't shake off the feeling of unease. "James, why did you want to meet at an open cafe?" I asked, trying to keep my voice low. James smiled, his eyes glinting behind his glasses. "Why are you getting worked up, Lisa?" he asked, his tone mocking. "Thought you said Mr. Perfect Husband has traveled?"

I wasn’t expecting him to call straight away but I’m kind of excited he has. “Hi Jareth, sorry to bother you I didn’t expect you to call me back straight away.” I smile and he grins back at me “It is my pleasure Iris. I had a feeling you might contact me sooner rather than later after all we still have a lot talk about.” He sits grinning like a Cheshire cat and I can’t help but grin back. “So what is it you want to ask or talk to me about?” “Well I have my grandmother’s book, you called it a grimoire? I wondered how to get it open?”

They were sitting a little far away from him though. Lisa was a little scared and asked, “Do you have anything to read?” Carl Black frowned and looked at her dubiously. He thought, after losing her memory, she might have developed an interest in reading books. He took a book out of his bag and passed it to her. Lisa’s eyes widened to see the book. He actually gave her a journal of physics. She thought he would give her a magazine or at least a novel. She looked at the journal dumbly, and then her eyes moved to Carl Black, only to meet his curious gaze.

James's face twisted with a mix of realization and horror. "Wait… you’ve been taking advantage of Grayson’s drunken state to sleep with him, haven’t you? This—this was your plan all along!" His voice rose with disbelief. "You’re the devil incarnate, Lisa!" "Click," Lisa said, tapping her fingers together in mock applause. Her grin widened, her confidence palpable. "Right on the mark, James. And now, your time is up,” She said. Her smile grew sinister as faint chants echoed in the distance.
