When A Woman Retaliates - Chapter 88

From the moment Lisa began to suspect Ruhan, she started to become restless again.

She was exhausted but couldn’t sleep.

After tossing for a while, she looked at the man lying beside her. He looked more handsome and innocent under the moonlit night.

1 month ago he intentionally damaged the side room and shamelessly shifted into the bedroom.

In the last month he was comparatively well behaved. Although he tried to take advantage of her every now and then and chanted about her duty as a wife, he had never crossed the line. He also didn’t try to interfere with her work. That was why Lisa had slowly let her guard down and didn’t pay much attention to him.

But now that she thought about it…it might have been the calm before the storm.

She didn’t want to reach any conclusion without evidence, but her gut told her that Ruhan was connected to this incident.

She stretched her hand and felt his face- his eyebrows, his eyes, nose…

When her hand reached her neck, Ruhan suddenly grabbed her hands.

“What are you doing?” he said drowsily.

“Just thinking…human are really vulnerable while sleeping. I could strangle you in your sleep you know…” Lisa tried to take back her hand.

Ruhan chuckled, “What happened to you at this time? Did you see a nightmare?”

“Nothing. Let go.” Lisa slapped his hand away.

Ruhan turned towards her, “You are not wrong. Human are really vulnerable at nignt. I could attack you now you know? And you can not blame me. Afterall you are the one who assaulted me in my sleep.” he took a peck at her cheek and prepared for her backlash.

But to his surprise, she didn’t hit him or kicked him away as usual. She just glanced at him and slept with her back facing him. “Go to sleep.”

Her response made him surprised and regretful.

‘If I had wanted to be more intimate with her today would she have let me?’

He looked at her lecherously and then lied down to sleep. He should not push his luck. Lisa’s strength could to be neglected. It really hurts him when she hits her.

Lisa still couldn’t sleep. Her father’s advice began to play in her mind repeatedly.

‘You must always be careful. In business no one is your absolute friend or enemy.’

‘The one you trust the most is the one who can hurt you the most. So always keep your guard on. ‘

‘Enemies can attack you at any time behind your back. So always pay heed to your surroundings.’

While Lisa was at LiCorp, she always followed her father’s advices. But while she was at Ahmed Corporations, she didn’t work as hard as she did at LiCorp.

First of all, she wasn’t as affectionate to Ahmed Corporations as she was to LiCorp.

Secondly, she had always heard that the employees at the main branch were specifically selected after years of observation and training. So she didn’t keep her guard up.

‘What if the one who stays with me 24/7 is the one who wants to hurt me? How am I supposed to guard against him?’

She took a last glance at him and mumbled to herself, “I tried to follow your advice daddy, but it’s really tiring to be alert all the time. I am tired really really tired.’

While she was studying business, she thoroughly understood that she was not made for the job. She didn’t like business management. She didn’t like interacting with people. She always hoped to live a careful life. She wanted to be independent..but she had no ambition to climb the social ladder.

The circumstances four years ago forced her to take on heavy responsibility. She had no way but to swallow the bitter fruit and take over the company. But she never liked it. So after marriage, when she didn’t have the heavy burden pressing over her, she slowly let go of her vigilance.

So the disaster she faced today, she was also partly responsible for it. She understood it very well.

‘I don’t know how long I can keep doing this daddy.’

Lisa slowly closed her eyes.
