Small notes from Lisa's heart and Alvin Fisher.
Lisa's heart: I'm Lisa's heart, the first daughter of my family, unfortunately, my dad died and left me handling the duties of my family, mom, and my little sister, Tori.
They both were my source of strength, but everything changed when Alvin Fisher, my dad's business partner who helped and also dragged me into his family's tail of lies, came into my life!!.
Alvin Fisher: Hi, I'm Alvin Fisher, the son of Mr. and Mrs.. Davis and Rosie Fisher, my dad died years ago and my mom decided to marry M..r Ajay, who groomed me in fear and his goal was to steal my inheritance, luckily before dad died ( M..r Davis) in other to get my inheritance was to get married, and on seeing I didn't believe in marriage, I had no option but to settle with a contract marriage.

(Continuation)
Now reading as Lisa's heart
After Mr. Ajay's corpse was carried away, Alvin and I went to the hospital, the doctor was busy trying to save Julian's life, I watched from a far distance shivering in fear, minus the fact I just lost my sister, I was rather concerned about the truth Julian wasn't able to tell us.
Apart from Mr. Ajay, who's against my family?.
An hour later, the doctor in charge of Julian walked out of the emergency room.
"Doctor!! How's Julian?". Alvin asked before I could, the doctor moved his head back and forth before answering, he says, "sir!! He's now out of danger, but let's have him under observation for some time".
A cloud of calm hovered around me, I nudged a step backward and fell to the bench behind.
Alvin saw that the news was pleasing to hear, he smiles and sat next to me.
"Lisa!! Do you need anything?". He asked sewing my attention to me, in return, I disapproved of his idea when mom's call came through my phone.
She must heard the news? I said and walked away to answer.
Alvin also left the minute I did, leaving Julian's room unguarded, the second his feet faded, Bryan sneaked into his room without our knowledge.
( Inaudible conversation)
Now reading as Bryan POV
After seeing Lisa and Alvin's attention stacked away from Julian's ward, the person I sneaked in to see was sound asleep.
"Julian!!". I clamored his name.
He turned and tried to call for help, rather I shoved a folded handkerchief in his mouth to shut him up, veers back, and locked the door to bar anyone from coming into the room within the slated time I was meant to stay there.
Bit by bit, I tortured Julian while laying on his sickbed, I reminded him the day he decided to work for me and never go against the deal.
I unraveled everything to me, including my involvement in killing Mr. Ajay, the same day he was also shut, and not once did he think of altering a single word as I continued speaking.
My feet moved closer to his oxygen tank, slowly I pulled up my hand and removed it from where it was, behind Julian, a white pillow was placed behind, I dragged it away and said "goodbye Julian!" And without thinking twice smoldered him in cold blood, gradually his breathing decrease until he finally gave up breathing.
An hour later, I had already left before Lisa came into the ward.
Now reading as Lisa POV
I walked in and found Julian's head placed oddly, his hands dropped without moving and his eyes opened as he had just seen a ghost,
"Julian! Are you okay"
I quickly throw the bottled water I held on, as I walked closer to his bed, and touched him to see if I can be able to hear a pulse but nothing, his hands became cold and his body's kept folding, it could only mean one thing.
"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
I immediately screamed accompanied by running out of the room to call the doctor, Alvin left what he was doing and followed me up to Julian's wards, likewise, the doctor checked his pulse and his heart rate.
"I am sorry, he is no more". He says with a sad look.
I pulled back and fall to the floor in shock, how on earth will I get find the truth, who's doing all this?. How and what the heck happened?". I asked myself.
Mom rushed to the hospital and walks in to see, Julian's coupes bagged up, she staggered back and depleted to the floor.
"Mom!": I ran to her aid as she pushed me away from touching her, "what the hell happened?" She asked in a cold tone, the tears in my eyes drop as I told on, exactly what happened, mom blamed me for leaving Julian alone in his room and asked me to leave from here and not to show my face within the next few hours.
I walked away from the hospital, my heart broke into pieces, I cried out holding a Piller for support when suddenly I took heed of a voice speaking.
"Lisa!!!".
I veered and saw Bryan standing behind with his face saddened.
"Bryan!!".
I called out running to him.
He placed his hand on my shoulders and locked me in, I couldn't stop crying and he gently whipped the tears Rolling from my eyes.
"Shh!! Please don't cry?".
Bryan pampered me, yet the tears kept on Rolling out to a point mom walked in and saw me in that same mood.
"Hmm!! Why are you crying?".
Her voice immediately ceased my tears, I pulled away from Bryan and while trying to calm my nerves down, a slap got me staring up again.
Alvin join in and said, "what's going on mom!! Why did you slap her?"
His question gave raise to hers, she pulled me close and spat her words to my face.
"Why are you asking me!! Did you forget that this child of mine failed to keep her family saves, she's to be blamed for everything that's going on".
Mom's words echoed through my ears, thus I couldn't believe that my mom would say such to me.
Alvin in return saw how dumbfounded I was listening to her, he moved a step forward and forcefully throw me far from her reach, ( mom's reach).
And decerning Alvin's behavior, she decided to pour her left anger on him, from a far distance I watched how mom turned the tables against me, she blamed and continued blaming me for Tori's death.
Her voice kept dancing through my ears and out of frustration, I screamed out.
"Enough!! Mom!! Enough".
Everyone sewed their attention to me, as I swiftly filled up the last space between us, proceeding further again.
"Did you say this is mu fault!! Mom?". I asked her previous words to me.
She gestured with her head, holding a disappointed look on her face, indeed it pains me to see how low my mom thought of me, and no matter how much I've tried to fill up the space dad left, I can never be like him.
Mom and I watched quietly, Alvin got so angered to a point, he dragged me out of my mom's disappointing gaze.
He nudged me into his car and drove off immediately.
An hour later, he stopped at the playground, "get down!!".
My feet ambled out at the sound of his voice, we both walked in and he takes my hand and pinned me to a tree.
"Alvin!! What are you doing, let me go right now". ( Frowned at his odd behavior).
In return he says, "I'm sorry, I needed to gain your attention because I hate seeing you so lost and confused".
"Huh!! How I don't understand?".
Alvin's words made me rethink, and he goes, "Lisa!! I believe that someone close to you, wants to see you defeated, and don't forget, you're Lisa heart, the same girl that defeated Mr. Ajay fought against death and is now standing here with me, so!! I need you to put on your game face, we need to know who's behind this".
Alvin was right, indeed we needed to know who's trying to get my family against me and why?.
"Tell me, miss danger!! What do you have planned?".
Alvin adds up waiting for my come back.
(Inaudible conversation)
The same day, Alvin got me home, mom sat on the couch waiting for my arrival and it seems like she was ready to fight me once again here at home, but I wasn't in the mood to banter words with her.
I left and ignored her hurtful gaze, locked my room door, and planned for what's about to happen the following morning.
( The next morning)
A knock on my door gained my notoriety, I walked out and saw a package from Alvin waiting at the front door, I picked it up and after a while walked out to the living room wearing a beautiful flower Pattern dress.
