Legacy of Love and War EIGHTY THREE
Lila walked to her room. After the busy day, all she could think about was lying in bed with the covers all the way to her neck and sleeping as if that was all she knew how to do, but she knew it was a hard goal for now; she had to change into something her mother would like to see at the dinner table and then go down for dinner. She stopped in her tracks when she heard Levi's voice. She had been too busy even to know he had returned from work. She pressed her lips together as she listened to the conversation. She did not mean to eavesdrop; he was the one making what seemed like a personal conversation in a public space."Are you sure you are fine?" She rolled her eyes as she heard him ask for the tenth time since she stood there. She could not determine who it was over the phone, but judging from the way he spoke and how delicate he sounded, she knew it had to be one of his girlfriends. She felt anger surge through her. He was married to her but was still keeping his options open. Wh

Lila didn't want to be a part of her mom's little house business, but seeing that she had no choice, she adjusted. Within a few days, she was already getting along with the staff. They were on a lunch break, and since she did not know where she was supposed to stand in the house while working, she decided that it might be a good thing for her to eat with the staff instead of on the big dining table all alone."Working here is so fun." Lila rolled her eyes when she heard that. She could not believe that she was forced to hear that at least three times a day. "Don't you just love it?" All the staff spoke about was how lucky they were to work there, and she was getting tired of it. She raised her head to see one of the house staff standing there. She bowed her head to her, and Lila stood up to meet her."The lady of the house said I should bring you with me," she announced. Lila's eyebrow furrowed as she wondered what her mother wanted. She barely interacted with her while she worked at

PLACE: CARRINGTON'S MANSIONTIME: SUNDAY 6:45 PM"Everyone, listen up," William said from the head of the table, tapping the edge slightly to catch the attention of everyone. Williams was a family man, and for that reason, he had the entire family back at his mansion every Sunday for dinner to get away. That way, they could discuss and gloss over the events of the week and give each other updates. After dinner every night, the men got together and watched a sport regardless of what was airing at that time. They all seemed to enjoy the time together. The older women would go out to the balcony and have tea while talking; they called it talking, but everyone knew very well that it was gossip. The younger girls would cluster in Lila's room and try to really catch up on what had been going on. Everyone raises their head to William at the head of the table. He dropped his spoon to his plate and propped his elbow on the table so he could intertwine his fingers. Seeing his posture, everyon

LOCATION: BEAUMONT MANSION TIME: SUNDAY 8 PM"You are asking me Levi Beaumont to get married to Lila Carrington?" Levi asked for the tenth time in just a few minutes. He was standing in his dad's home office. Daniel was sitting behind a huge wooden table, and Levi was standing across from it. He had been called in by his father to give him some news. When his father asked him to come into the office after dinner, he expected anything else, but this was not on his bingo cards, and he was sure that he must have heard it all wrong. There was no way his father, Daniel Beaumont, who was the chairman of the Beaumont group, was asking him to marry a Carrington. "Dad, Beaumont's and Carrington's do not mix; they have nerve mixed for one day," Levi said before his father could say anything. Daniel took off his glasses and let them hang from his neck with the glasses rope, dangling it gently in the air. "They have never mixed for six generations." "Exactly, so I am confused as to what you

LOCATION: CARRINGTON'S MANSIONTIME: SUNDAY DINNER TIME"Sit back down this instant," William commanded. She looked around at the faces of the people she shared the table with, and she could tell that they were all telling one thing, and that was that she better sit down at once. She swallowed and sat down, facing her father. In as much as she always tried her best to obey him, she was not going to let him have his way this time around. This was not going to be in her favour in any way, and she could not just knowingly walk into it. "You would listen to me, and you would do what I say," he added. She shook her head at him. "Lila, listen to your father," Eleanor said. "But mom..." Lila whined. She could not believe how easily her mother had switched sides. She was just definitely on her side a moment ago, but all of a sudden she was telling her to bow her head and listen to her father because apparently, he was the one who had the final say. "There is no but here. I think it would

"How can Dad think to do this to me? This is very unfair," Lila said, pacing the entire floor of her room. The diner finished earlier than they would expect because of the awfulness. The men still stayed downstairs in the living room to still watch golf; Eleanor, Carrie, and Lucy went to the balcony. You have tea even though it was scorching hot that night. Elizabeth, Victoria. Amelia and Sophia were next in her room. If this was last week Sunday, they would have gossiped till midnight, and then everyone would have gone back home in preparation for the next day, but since the situation was different, Lila seemed to be the one in need at that time. "Why did you try to drag me into this?" Amelia asked lazily as she dropped to the bed, her head on Elizabeth's lap. Elizabeth ran her hand through her hair gently, which made her even more sleepy."Because none of you have thought of trying to help me out. You all just sat there like some statue watching him ask me about Marru Levi," Lila

THREE WEEKS LATERPORCH OF CHARITYWEDDING VENUE"Did Dad need to go all out for this? This is a contract marriage, yet he is celebrating it as if they were getting married for real," Elizabeth murmured to her sister. "I know right, he sure does not like to lose in something," Victoria replied as they walked to the bridal suite, where their sister was now sitting and waiting for them to call her so she could walk down the island and get stuck in the marriage of her nightmares. They opened the door and walked straight into the room; they turned a corner, and Lila was sitting there with her bouquet in hand. "Oh my gosh!" Victoria was excited, clapping her hand in the air. "Oh my days!" she added in excitement. "Do you think you are a little too excited about a fake marriage?" Lial asked watching her sister really get excited. "Why are you excited anyway?" "I mean, I have always imagined what you would look like in a dress as pretty as this," she said with tears falling in between he

"You may kiss the bride." Lila took a double take at the priest; she definitely remembered telling him to take out that part. She was getting married to him, but there was no way she would be doing anything intimate with him."Come on, sweetheart." She saw Levi's expression and could tell that this was his doing. How dare he think of doing something like this?She turned to the priest and smiled forcefully at him with gritty teeth. "I told you to take out this part.""Your husband asked me to leave it in."She turned back to him, ready to rain hell on him. She looked at the congregation, waiting for them to kiss. She knew that anything she did now would be remembered for a long time, and all of these people seated in the church on a Saturday afternoon were there just to know if the two families had gotten together. She pressed her lips and leaned into him.He held her by the waist and pulled her in. "I am going to kill you," she murmured against his lips."How can we make this believa

Lila put on the uniform and stared at herself in the mirror. She looked like a plain maid; she could not bring herself to believe that she was a CEO earlier in the morning, and now she was supposed to be a maid. She knew that it was going to be a hassle to discuss this with her mom, so she let it go. Maybe she was trying to punish her for making Elizabeth leave the house earlier this morning. She took a deep breath and packed her hair to match the outfit. She looked at herself again and tried to smile before leaving the room.Her mother frowned as soon as she set her eyes on her. "What took you so long?" she asked."I was getting ready?' Lila replied in a sheepish voice as she stood beside her."Stand there," Eleanor said, directing her to stand beside the other four people wearing the same thing she was wearing. She nodded and stood beside them. Eleanor began speaking; she told them that their responsibility was to take people around the manor and help them settle in. She told them h

As soon as Lila opened the door, she bumped into Levi, who was standing by the door; he held her by the waist before she could fall to the ground. They stared looking at each other in the eyes for a while before she cleared her throat and jumped out of his hands."I am sorry," she blurted without thinking."You are sorry? Why?""Huh!""Huh!""What?""Why are you sorry?""It's nothing," she said, and he nodded. She looked up at his dressing, only to realise he was dressed differently. "Where are you going?" She was trying to act as if she did not care, but something pricked her heart."The office," he responded with a frown as if this was something she was supposed to know.It dawned on her then that their honeymoon was over, and she was also supposed to resume today. She had been so caught up in everything that she did not even count the days again. "Oh right," she said, nodding as she realised she had lost her job on the same day that she was supposed to resume."Aren't you going to

Lila watched the car go off into the distance before she composed herself and retired to the room with Levi. She decided to get ready in case she had to do anything with her mother later in the day. She knew that Eleanor Carrington would soon get over the situation and she would be the odd one if she still stayed hung up on what happened earlier.She was in the closet when she heard a knock on the main door; before she could answer it Levi had gotten to it and her mom stepped into the room. Her eyes fell on the bed that she and Levi shared and she looked at it with so much judgement in her eyes. Lila felt weird, and it made it worse that she could not tell what she was judging in the room.Lila cleared her throat and walked up to her. "I want to speak to you," Eleanor said before her daughter could ask her why she had come into the room."Let us talk outside," Lila suggested, and her mother nodded. She turned on her heels and walked out of the room without sparing Levi a glance. "I'll

Lila was not sure if the noise she was hearing came from her house, but she had to check. She threw on a robe and was out the door immediately. They still had a few minutes before breakfast, and she was taking her sweet time. Levi was behind her as soon as he saw her dart out of the room. She followed the sound to the doorway of the house and was shocked to see the scene before her.Elizabeth was going back and forth with her mom; she was trying to take her luggage out of the house, but her mother kept on dragging it back in. Lila immediately understood what was going on. Elizabeth was trying to leave, but her mom did not seem to like the thought of it at all."Where are you going?" Eleanor asked angrily."Home," Elizabeth replied without showing any emotions."What do you mean by home? This is your home," Eleanor said. "Moreover, you just came here, so why on earth were you in a hurry to leave?" Eleanor added with a frown."Mom, come on, I am married and have a family of my own, so..

"You aren't even acting like someone who wants me to be here; it seems like I have made a mistake," Elizabeth said. Her tone sounded too sad for Lila to ignore, but she hated that her sister was the one who had been in the wrong and now she was the one who felt bad about it."Did you come here to see me?" Lila said in response, ""What?""You and Mom act like you are the only ones who are in the world. You go out together, you jog together, you do shopping, and act as if I am not there the entire time. So, how on earth can you expect me to believe that you are here for me?" Lila couldn't believe that all the words she had been brewing inside her heart had finally made it out of her mouth. Her chest rose and fell quickly as Elizabeth stumbled to her feet with a shock on her face and the glass in her hand tumbling and shattering on the ground.Lila knew that now was the right time to stop, but since the cat was out of the bag, it would be better for her to just let it all out at once so
Legacy of Love and War SEVENTY SEVEN
Elizabeth was pacing and let out a sigh of relief when she saw a car roll into the compound and Lila get out of the car. She rushed to her and pulled her into a hug. She did not know why she was worried about her sister when she was a full adult who could take care of herself. She could not just understand why she would take off from the house without letting anyone know where she had gone. She was, however, happy that Levi was with her at least."What are you doing?" Lila asked, feeling a bit uncomfortable by the hug. Her sister had been too annoying with the way she acted these past few days and she did not want to blame her but she was still mad at it."I was so worried; where have you been?" Elizabeth asked as she pulled back from her. She searched her body frantically as if she was thinking something bad had happened to her."I did not think that my being gone for a few hours would change anything for you," Lila murmured. Seh did not want to say anything, but she could not help h
Legacy of Love and War SEVENTY SIX
After Jasmine left, Lila did not want to stay and feel suffocated in the house, even though she did not like the feeling; she knew there was nothing she could do about it, so the best thing to do would be to find a way out, and since she wanted to see her dad, she knew that this was a good opportunity for her to go out. She was worried about Levi; however, she knew that with the way he had been acting, he might not want her to go to the hospital, and she needed to try and sneak out of the house.She did it successfully and gave herself a pat on the back. When she got into the hospital room to see all the tubes connected to her father, she could not help but feel guilty that he had gone into this state because of the trouble she had caused. Her father was different from her mother, at least. He did not ever think to make her feel inadequate, even for one day, and it hurt to see him lie down like this without being able to be himself to the fullest. The weekly family meeting with all of
