Chapter 20 - Chapter 20: The Sinister Truth

Lisa's eyes narrowed as she gazed at Celine and the unknown man. "What do you want from us?" she demanded, her voice firm.

‎Celine sneered, her lips curling up in a cruel smile. "Oh, Lisa, you're so clever. But you don't know the half of it, do you?"

‎The unknown man stepped forward, his face still hidden in the shadows. "He took off his veil to reveal who he was ,"

‎Hakeem," she realized, her voice barely above a whisper.

‎Lisa's eyes narrowed as she gazed at Hakeem, her mind racing with questions. "I thought you were dead. How come you're here?" she demanded, her voice firm.

‎Hakeem's smile was cold and calculating. "Your Highness, forgive my insubordination, but I need you to get what I want," he said, his tone dripping with malice.

‎Lisa's curiosity was piqued. "And what might that be, if I may ask?" she replied, her voice laced with sarcasm.

‎Hakeem's eyes gleamed with ambition. "The throne," he declared. "You see, I didn't want anything before, just you. But your father declined, so I tried to kill Kara. Her nanny got wind of the information and took her away without your parents' consent."

‎Lisa's eyes widened in shock. "You're the one who tried to kill my sister?" she asked, her voice trembling with rage.

‎Hakeem's smile grew wider. "Yes, but that wasn't my only plan. Your parents will be next. With both of you out of the way, nothing will stand in my path to the throne." except kalim but I can handle him.

‎Lisa's heart sank as she realized the extent of Hakeem's sinister plot. She knew she had to act fast to stop him, but for now, she was at his mercy.

‎Kara looked at Lisa, confusion etched on her face. "What's going on, Lisa?"

‎Lisa's gaze locked onto Celine and Hakeem. "I see," she said, her voice laced with anger. "I've been lied to. Kalim was trying to protect me, wasn't he?"

‎"You should have listened to Kalim and not trusted so blindly."

‎The words hung in the air, a stark reminder of past mistakes. Lisa's eyes dropped, her expression a mix of regret and realization. The damage was done, and now she faced the consequences of her blind trust and lack of foresight.

‎Hakeem chuckled, his laughter sending shivers down Lisa's spine. "You're clever, Lisa. But you're too late. I will stop at nothing to get what i want."

‎Lisa's eyes blazed with determination. "I'll never let that happen," she vowed, her voice firm. I'll see to your end Hakeem.

‎Celine sneered, her eyes flashing with malice. "We'll see about that," she spat, her voice dripping with venom.

‎As the standoff continued, Lisa's mind racing with thoughts of escape and revenge, she knew she had to act fast. She would do whatever it took to protect herself and Kara, and bring Hakeem's sinister plans to an end.
