Lila's POV

The next Monday, I found my way to Mrs. Glad Jonas' office, and her secretary received me with a warm smile and guided me through a long hallway lined with luxurious art and subtle golden light. Everything about the Evicon Group building screamed elegance. The floor was Italian marble, the walls were tastefully finished in muted creams and golds, and the scent of fresh lavender hung lightly in the air.

"Wow," I whispered, unable to stop my eyes from scanning the surroundings. "Who di

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   Cutting My Breath

    Lila's POVMy blood ran cold.I typed quickly: “Why?”His response came instantly: “Just don’t.Call me once you’re out of the store.”I swallowed hard. My throat felt tight.If Nico was warning me, then something was definitely wrong.I reached for my card and headed to the checkout, pretending not to notice the two men who suddenly appeared at the end of another aisle, trying, but failing to look casual and unalarmed.My hands only trembled when I stepped outside.The night air hit my face briefly.I opened my trunk, placed the grocery bags inside, shut it quietly, and was about to step into the driver’s seat when a black SUV parked three spaces away flashed its headlights twice.My breath caught.That was an obvious signal. I locked my car immediately.And then my phone rang. It was Nico.I answered in a whisper, “I’m outside.”“Good. Listen carefully,” he said with his voice low and urgent. “Don’t drive home tonight.”“Where else can I go aside from the apartment?”“What about Dia

    Lila's POVThe next Monday, I found my way to Mrs. Glad Jonas' office, and her secretary received me with a warm smile and guided me through a long hallway lined with luxurious art and subtle golden light. Everything about the Evicon Group building screamed elegance. The floor was Italian marble, the walls were tastefully finished in muted creams and golds, and the scent of fresh lavender hung lightly in the air."Wow," I whispered, unable to stop my eyes from scanning the surroundings. "Who did the interiors? This is stunning."The secretary chuckled softly. "We get that a lot. Mrs. Glad Jonas will be glad to hear you like it."Soon enough, the large double doors to her office opened. "Come in, child," Mrs. Glad said with a welcoming gesture. She stood behind a sleek mahogany desk that overlooked a wide view of the city skyline. Her presence was strong and comforting."I hope you weren’t waiting long," she added as I sat down."Not at all, ma, your office is beautiful. I have to ask,

    Lila’s POV:It was a sunny afternoon when I decided to meet up with Diane during lunch. She had been unusually quiet since our confrontation with Damien, and I knew the office atmosphere had turned venomous. She sat across from me at the café, bowing her head like she was going to cry.“Diane, you don't look too good. Did anything happen when I left to meet the client from Evicon group?" I asked."Helen has been openly attacking me since morning," she said, sipping her coffee. "Today, she even questioned if I was part of the joined hands with you to murder Shay in front of the whole team."Then she shrugged. "I’m used to it though, just that her bitterness has grown wild since she couldn’t secure the partnership."I leaned in. "You shouldn’t have to get used to that. No one should ever get used to being humiliated and trampled on."The truth had been bubbling inside me since the warehouse. I was still shaking from the threats Kai and Ma Felicia made. But I couldn’t sit still anymore.

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   Whispers

    Lila’s POV:Nico and I packed in silence as we folded clothes and some of the belongings I'll be needing in my new apartment. The house felt heavier than usual. Every corner reminded me of Shay, the hallway where he surprised me with roses, the staircase he playfully carried me up, even the bathroom towel he always left crumpled.I paused for a moment, staring at the shelf in Shay’s study. There were picture frames still intact, little souvenirs from our honeymoon in Santorini, and a wine cork we saved from our first dinner as husband and wife. I couldn’t throw any of it away, but I couldn’t take them with me either.“I don’t think I can do this,” I whispered, sitting on the edge of the bed.“You don’t have to do it all at once,” Nico replied softly. “But you can’t stay here. Shay made that clear.”I nodded, and wiped a stray tear away with the sleeve of my shirt. “We should leave now.”Before we walked out of the house, I handed the estate keys to Madam Lavigne. She had been there si

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   In The Absence Of Truth

    Lila’s POV:I was exhausted from the stressful client I was assigned to by Helen.She had been unbearable at work again, giving me more tasks than I could handle and then blaming me for delays that weren’t mine to own. She even sent me to meet a client after hours, someone who barely showed up and then complained about the material choices I hadn’t made.By the time I got home, it was well past dark. I couldn't text Shay because of how occupied I was. I wanted to see his face, and fall into his arms. That had become the only relief I knew these days.But the house was too quiet.Shay always met me at the door when he was home. Sometimes with a joke, sometimes a kiss. He was always excited to have me back home.This time, he wasn't there to welcome me. That felt really off.“Shay?” I called out, slipping off my shoes in the hallway. My voice echoed back at me. “Babe?”I dropped my bag on the table as I felt unease creeping into my chest.I moved toward his study, my heartbeat was becom

  • Betrothed To Six Lovers   Bitterness Blooms

    Shay’s POV:Serena’s visit that morning wasn’t casual. It was obviously intentional.She showed up draped in wine-red silk, and with lips to match. She had a smile that curled like smoke.She’d always known how to slither into a space like she owned it.Even now, she looked around the estate like she still had a claim.Lila wasn’t home.I should’ve told her about Serena and what we had, but I didn’t.I feared it'll break her. We would lose the bond that we shared.Serena walked into the sitting room like it was her own home. She acted like nothing had changed.“Still playing the good husband?” she asked, head tilted like a curious cat. “You know it’s only a matter of time before she finds out who you really are.”I didn’t flinch. “I don’t hide from her. Not like we used to.”“You think she’ll love you once she knows?” she purred, stepping closer. “You forget who you were. What we were.”I met her gaze coldly. “What we were doesn’t exist anymore.”But Serena wasn’t finished.“Tell her
