Watching You Lisa Jewell Novels & Stories

It was Laredo’s way of drowning out the world. Toby climbed the trellis, his fingers screaming as the rough wood bit into his old injuries. He reached the second-story balcony—the same one where he’d been broken weeks before. He crouched behind the railing, peer through the glass. The room was bathed in a deep, red light from a heat lamp. Laredo was sitting in a chair, watching Lisa as she stood by the window, her back to him. She was wearing a silk slip that looked like it was made of water.

“What kind of tribute?” He smiled slowly. “The kind that shows the world exactly who we are. Just wait patiently, my love.” My phone vibrated inside my clutch. I excused myself to the powder room as calmly as I could and checked it quickly. A message from Lisa’s new number. “He hired watchers. Rumors already spreading outside. Be ready for anything.” I deleted it fast and stepped back into the hall. A major guest, an older woman covered in diamonds, stopped me with a curious smile.

Lisa said firmly still standing her ground, making me smile faintly that anyone looking at me won't even notice, "Please even if it's a few minutes" he begged, "How did you even know?" she asked, not bothering to elaborate because he clearly understood her question, "That's not the main problem now is it?" he asked, "You are not serious then" Lisa said turning to leave him at the door, "Fine, I hired someone to keep a watch on them 24/7" he admitted making Lisa gasp, although I knew was fake, we both expected such from him, the actual shock would have been there if he did the opposite,

What had Lisa been doing in there? As Lila cleaned, she discreetly searched the room. Her eyes widened when she found Duncan's watch hidden in a drawer. Understanding dawned on her – Lisa was trying to frame Hailey. "Oh no," Lila gasped softly. "This is not right." Lila carefully removed the watch, hiding it among her cleaning supplies. She finished cleaning the room, making sure everything looked untouched. She wanted to return the watch to Duncan's room immediately, but her other chores demanded her attention.

“As they should.” I shook my head slightly, letting their voices fill the space as we walked. For a second, I thought that was it. That maybe, just maybe, things were settling. Then Riley slowed slightly. Her expression shifted. Not a lot. But enough. “What?” Bella asked, noticing immediately. Riley didn’t answer right away. Her gaze moved past us. I followed it. And that’s when I saw her. Lisa. She stood across the courtyard, not too far, but far enough to pretend she hadn’t been watching us. Her posture was stiff, her expression unreadable, but her eyes—

When she saw this dangerous, ruthless side of Kellen for the first time, Ella trembled in fear and whimpered, "It wasn't me… I didn't want to break anything… Lilith said she didn't want them anymore! She left everything for you! She said she didn't want any of it!" Kellen's hand loosened abruptly. "What did you just say? Lilith came back? She told you herself she didn't want any of this? What exactly did she say she didn't want? Speak clearly! If you lie to me, I'll exile you to the Frozen Wastes!" Ella clutched her neck, coughing violently. She braced herself on the ground, backing away as bone shards dug into her palms, but she didn't dare make a sound.

Although new in the entertainment industry, they had excellent acting skills. “Did Jackson say anything when you were watching?” Lisa asked curiously. “I only watched it during the day when he wasn’t around,” Serenity said. It would be weird for her to watch it with Jackson. “What about you? Did you watch it with Terry?” Lisa laughed dryly. “I couldn’t wait until the next day for the latest episode. I had to watch it right away.” “So, did Terry say anything about it?” “No, but I could see his expression darkening. It’s just a drama, anyway. It’s not like I have other intentions,” Lisa grunted.

Xavier’s POV My eyes landed on the shattered glass and my thrashed room ‘’Shit ‘’ I cursed knowing fully well what had happened ‘’Are you two ok ‘’ I asked the doctors helping them up ‘’We’re fine Alpha but the patient, she woke up and attacked us ‘’ one of them answered stuttering I immediately ran out of the room while trying to connect to my Betas or Gamma through our pack link ‘’Where is she ? ‘’ I asked bracing myself to shift in case I had to

"It helps. Having someone here when I'm not talking to Maya. When the silence starts to feel too loud." Damian nodded, stepping to the window to scan the yard once more. "Well, no more silence. We'll protect you, Amanda. And we'll make sure Lisa and her friends don't get another inch closer to you." As Damian stepped outside to speak with his team, Amanda exhaled slowly and glanced at the night sky. Somewhere out there, someone had watched her. But now she had people watching back. ———————- The warehouse was dimly lit, its cracked walls echoing with every step Lisa took as she paced in front of the rusted table where Ace and Amber sat. The air smelled of oil, dust, and slow-burning tension.
