Loyalty Lisa Scottoline Novels & Stories

“I’m not the prize here. I’m the war.” “And I’m the soldier,” he said simply. The room was heavy with everything unsaid. She wanted to believe him. She wanted to believe she mattered more than the headlines, the lawsuits, and the ghosts of her past. But then Lisa appeared. Alessia barely heard the soft footsteps behind her until the words cut through the silence like a knife. “Choose wisely.” She turned. Lisa’s eyes were sharp, almost cold. A predator disguised in silk and smiles. “Why are you so loyal to Roman?” Alessia asked, voice trembling but firm.

“What did you do to her?” “Nothing she didn’t agree to.” He pulled up the room’s sole chair, sitting close enough that I could smell his expensive cologne. “Alisha?” He laughed again. “She played her part perfectly. A sympathetic maid, helping the poor, abused Luna escape. Becoming your closest friend, your confidante.” He leaned closer. “Did you really think someone like her would betray her Alpha just out of the goodness of her heart?” “Bastard.” “You see, Luna, loyalty can be bought. Everyone has a price: money, power, protection. Alisha’s price was surprisingly reasonable.”

“Lilsy, I sent you my new phone number after I returned to Westwood. Why didn’t you contact me? I thought you didn’t want to be my friend anymore.” “You sent it to me before? I didn’t receive it, though.” Lily was surprised to hear that. Lily remembered Lisa, this old friend of hers. Back then, Lisa was an exchange student at her university, but no one knew Lisa’s true identity—the daughter of the internationally renowned perfumer Wesley Parker—at the time. Everyone thought she was just another exchange student. Lisa was not as jolly then. Her personality was similar to Lily's, as she did not have many friends either. Lily had forgotten how they became friends, but she made a scented sachet

Lisa smiled, "I wasn't ignoring you; I was trying to make everyone understand that you aren't like that." Bella looked at her. "I appreciate that, Lisa," Bella replied, touched by her friend's loyalty. "It's just hard sometimes, you know, with all the rumors and gossip going around." Lisa nodded in understanding, her expression sympathetic. "I know, but don't worry, I've got your back," she reassured Bella. Feeling a surge of gratitude, Bella smiled back at Lisa, grateful to have a friend who stood by her side through thick and thin.

“He wouldn't. He only told you that because you questioned his reason for being present and he answered you with a little secret. But his loyalty to your mother can't be broken, not so easily.” “Are you saying we swindle it?” I shrugged. “If we can, which we should, then yes, it can be swindled. But not immediately as well, slowly. We get him to trust someone else over her. Make him see reasons why this new person deserves his loyalty more than Julie.” My mind was finally beginning to cooperate, thank God. Lisa was thinking. “So we get him someone trustworthy. Someone he can spill his secrets to without hesitation, no questions.”

Lisa stuttered in her words as she looked at Sasha, hoping she would get encouraged that it was a good thing Sasha watched Lisa closely as she talked. All she could see was so much love for Ryan, the same way she saw it on Ryan's eyes. Although it was forbidden and unheard of to have a human as a mate, but Sasha didn't think Lisa was a bad idea, she had liked her from the moment they saw and she really think the moon goddess made a good choice. "Am I spilling too much?" Lisa but her lips after seeing Sasha staring at her without reply "No...no" Sasha chuckled and held her hands. "I understand you totally. Everything you said."

Colette was smiling warmly in the photo, but Lisa, she was almost smirking, as if teasing the viewer. "You see it, just like I do. Your girlfriend, looking great, just the perfect corporate girlfriend, and me, the neighborhood wh*re, looking even better." Lisa stated. "Now, I am not just doing this to show pictures of me looking hot. This is the lead in to the main... thrust... of my pitch as to why I should be your girlfriend. And that pitch is how I, Lisa Warden, have your girlfriend beat in every possible way." With that, she pulled a laser pointer from her pocket and continued.

It is looking right at me. I try to be professional and greet them and ask for her name indirectly but I think I have same effect on her as she had on me because it takes her few seconds to reply to me. Lily Rose Scott. Nice name with two beautiful flowers in them. Scott means half scottish maybe that says why she has red hairs. She acts professionally and forwards her hand for handshake.

I will make her regret why she was even born. Flashback….. When I was with maria. Marco came and called me to my office. He was happy that finally he had a girl on whom he had his eyes for months. When he first saw her she was beautiful. Most importantly her eyes held him captive at that moment he knew he wanted her. And he gets what he wants. He didn't care whether she liked me or not. She is mine. When they reached his office. Marco gave him a file. Marco: finally we have found the location and address of that bastard!

Lisa scolded. "Right, I guess you’re right. But I’m just confused about what she means by a beautiful date." "I’ll find out. You go look for inspiration first!" Lisa said. "I’m pretty sure the date we met wasn’t anything special," Lucas said hesitantly. "Oh my god! Guys are just never sensitive to what women want. Just like Gio!" Lisa pointed at Gio, who was with them at Lisa’s boutique. They were picking out outfits for the wedding, which was all custom-made by Lisa.
