Legacy of Love and War FIFTY SIX
"It's impossible," Lila shook her head; it made no sense for her mom to ask her to move in with them. She was planning on keeping all the distance with her parents until the one year elapsed. Her plan was simple, and now her mom had somehow found out the plan and was ready to ruin it."That's what I said, but the bags," Elizabeth said as their eyes followed the staff carrying them in. Lila knew that asking them to stop was pointless; if she wanted to change anything, she needed to speak to her mom first, and then they could take the bags back to the car for her. "What are you going to do about it?" Elizabeth asked because she knew how difficult it was to resist their mom; she was persuasive and could get you to do anything she wanted to."Don't worry," Lila said, shaking her head. She did not have a plan, but she was sure that there was no way they would end up staying there. There was enough room to house about three families comfortably, but still she could not bring herself to thin

As Lila showed Levi around the house, she could not help but get this chilly feeling from him. She wanted to ask him questions, but she was not sure what kind would be appropriate for him, so she kept them all to herself. After they had identified the room they would have to stay in, she turned to him."Are you sure this would be okay? We can tell my mom that this won't work and go back to the house, where we would have separate rooms.""It's fine," he said as if they were in an argument."I might be wrong, but I get a feeling that you are mad at me. Did I do something wrong?" She asked, trying to cast her mind back to when she started feeling the coldness from him, but nothing stood out to her."Nothing," he said like a child who was sulking about being denied some candy. Suddenly, it clicked in her mind that he was probably missing Fiona after all; they had to leave so quickly that they had no chance to say goodbyes. Knowing that was why he was all moody was hurtful to her, but she

Lila left the room after a while. She was feeling overwhelmed and seeing her father like that was not great for her either. She took a stroll, finding the coffee shop in the hospital She was grateful for it as she felt tired and needed something to keep her awake. She ordered some black coffee and sat down to sip on the coffee while watching the doctors and patients walk around the place. She had been still for a long time, just occasionally filling her mouth with the warm, bitter liquid. After a while, she felt someone sit beside her, and she could tell it was a familiar presence. She looked, and it was her mom sitting close to her. She mentally prepared herself for whatever it was that her mouth was about to say. "Are you okay?" Eleanor asked, Lila slowed and turned her head to her with a confused expression. There was no doubt that her mom loved her, but the way she acted every time was something she could not wrap her mind around. "Yes, Mom," she replied. She had to admit that

Lila went back to the room and bade her father farewell before she left for the manor. She wondered how her life with Levi and her family was going to be. Her mother had to stay with her dad in the hospital, and her sisters were in their own homes, which left her alone in the house with nothing to do. She knew that her mother would frown on her having her cousins or friends over, so she was left to her thoughts all by herself. Since the honeymoon period was still extended, they could not go back to work just yet.By the time she got into the room that night, Levi had chosen a side of the bed and was already sound asleep. She did not want to bother him, so she silently got changed and slipped into bed. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow, and her eyes only came open by the next morning.Levi had told her that he was a morning bird, and she was not surprised that he was not in bed when she woke up. She did her morning routine and went down to get something to eat. The sta

"And you..." Lila trailed off in response as she was expecting him to say something."Wait, what?""You were speaking, and then you trailed off. It felt like you wanted to say something and changed your mind midway," she said."I don't know what to make of this," he replied with a frown."Make of what?""You and this conversation, it's frustrating with you.""Frustrated with me?" She scoffed and crossed her hand over her chest. "What on earth is that supposed to mean?" Levi looked at her, and her face was screaming a demand for an apology. "Well, explain?" she said when he stayed quiet, rubbing his lips together."One moment you are cold as ice, and the other moment you are very hot. So hot it is kind of scary," he replied."I don't get it." She was not usually slow, but his words strung together were not making any sense to her at all. She was hot and cold? "Are you writing a poem?" she asked. If this were any other situation, she might have laughed in his face that he was saying a b

"Shall we take a walk?" Lila suddenly asked, changing the topic. He stared at her like she had spoken in a foreign language; it was only strange to him that she had initiated something they do together. It was not like they were still on their honeymoon and were trying to impress the press. It was just the two of them there so."I just thought since we are both free that we could take a walk together," she added, her voice low. She could not believe that he was standing there making her feel like she had done something wrong. "If you do not want to do so, you can just say it instead of making me feel awkward," she said, turning as her hair swayed with her and she walked away."Wait up," he said, jogging and stopping when he was beside her. "Let's take a walk around the great Carrington mansion," Levi added. It was one that had been passed down for three generations now. Her father grew up there as a child with his brother and sister. She did too, even though she was barely in the hous

After Lila helped Levi out of the pond, they left the room, but Lila could not help but keep laughing. The scene kept playing in her head. "I am so glad that something that brought me pain is so amusing to you," he said in a pretendedly hurt voice."Oh come on, it's so cute; I should have taken a video so I can watch it from time to time," she said and laughed again. She looked behind to see the trail of water they were leaving behind, and she became concerned. "You know if my mom were home, we could never play in that room and the fountain, and most definitely we could not leave a trail of water behind us like this," she explained."Well then, I'll say it's a good thing she isn't home," Levi replied. Lila did not know what she was supposed to reply to that, so she nodded, and luckily for them, a staff member passed by immediately. She knew she had to get somebody to clean up the mess and the thoughts of having to climb down three flights of stairs were tormenting for her."Hi, please

"You are sorry? Is that all I get? No explanation of any sort? I came to this island to keep you company, and all you can say after leaving me here is that you are sorry?" Jasmine said, and Lila could imagine her rolling her eyes at her with her hands on her waist."Well, let's not distort the facts; you did not come to keep me company; you came to spy on me," Lila replied with a laugh still on her lips. She did not know why but the effect that Levi left on her did not seem to wear off."Potato potato," Jasmine replied, seeing she did not have a reasonable comeback. "Are you okay though?" Her voice was back to normal. "For you to just stand up and leave without any explanation, it must be serious.""I don't want to talk about it over the phone, so as soon as you are back, we'll get together and talk about it," Lila responded."Well, get your lungs and lips ready because you are going to be talking as soon as I touch down at the airport tomorrow. I am at the airport to get ticket but I

Legacy of Love and War NINETY TWO
Lila thought long and hard about how she could make Levi want to stay at the manor. She knew that once she successfully planned this party and her mom saw her potential, then she would look at her with more love. Maybe she might even compliment her a little, and that was exactly what Lila wanted. If her mom could just acknowledge her, then she would want to run out of the manor like she felt in that moment.She suddenly thought of something that might make Levi want to stay in the mansion. Maybe if his ex-girlfriend were there, then he would want to stay, as he would see her every day. That could be a good reason for him. She smiled as she tried her best to contact Fiona.Fiona was one of those girls who said harsh words with a smile on their face. So they try to maintain a nice appearance while being the mean girl. When Lila had reached out to her and explained her situation, stating that she would love to give her a job at the manor. Fiona told her blankly that she did not need the

Every single time Levi spoke to Lila, she couldn't help but notice that something was different between them. She constantly found herself daydreaming about his long, slender fingers or maybe his face at times. Even though she did not want to admit it, she was sensing the growing feelings from her end and no matter what, she could not bring herself to accept it."Levi Beaumont?" she murmured to herself as she stared in the mirror. After the buzz feeling from the charity event was over, she was now back to the worker she hated so much. It was still a mystery to her why she would be fired and given such a job that was below her but she did not think about it too much, as all she thought about was trying to please her mother and occasionally Levi found a way into her mind."How can it be? How can I like him? It is impossible because I hate him and our families as well. Not only do I hate him because he is a Beaumont but also we have been rivals for the ongets time so this feeling must be

Lila told herself that the thing with Levi and his ex-girlfriend would not affect her mood but she was totally wrong. She stayed at the bar trying to make sure she did not see what they were doing but she was either drinking heavily or trying to turn around to see what had happened. She knew her mother would have been disappointed in her that night even though she did not really know why she would have been; all she knew was that she would frown and turn her nose upwards.From the bar where she stayed, all she could see was Levi and Fiona flirting uncontrollably. "Shouldn't he act as if he is married? I know that all of this is for show but still, what about respecting me?" she murmured as she circled the rim of her glass with her finger. She bent her head and sighed at how unlucky she was in life.She tried to cheer herself up but no matter what she said to herself, it did not seem to make her feel better; all she felt was worse. Her phone rang, startling her, and for some reason she

Lila finally understood why everyone cheered when they announced the people bidding because now she was actively raising her baton and screaming numbers in the air. Every time someone outbid her, she thought of her life before she raised it in the air and screamed a higher number. She knew her mother would think of her actions as foolish, but seeing that Levi was well-liked by everyone in the hall, she had no choice but to go higher.Levi could not tell if she was teasing him with her actions or if she was being for real with it because she had not seemed interested in anything happening since the bidding started. He smirked at her and received no reaction, as she seemed too busy with the bid. He prayed she would bid high, that she would win, as he would very much like that.Levi was not surprised by the numbers flying in the air; it was a charity, and every businessman wanted to use this opportunity to feel like a saint in society. Tomorrow, the headlines would read something noble a

The Mc told them all to have a seat, and Lila almost cheered in happiness. She was not uncomfortable with dancing with Levi; she just did not like the way they stared at each other and how awkward things were because of the kiss they shared. The host announced that the bid would be in two parts to raise money for a children's charity, stating that there would be two parts where they would bid on items as scheduled, and after that, they would bid on eligible bachelors among them.She had been a workaholic who would rather donate anonymously than show up to events like this, so she never knew what events like this were. Seeing that after hearing that they would bid for bachelors, everyone seemed normal, she had to agree that it was a normal occurrence as well.Everyone in the hall cheered. Lila looked around as she wondered if she was the only one who did not get the concept of the bidding on people's part. She did not pay attention to the auction as she heard people pour millions of do

The kiss continued, and both hands flew across their body as if this was not the first time they were doing this. With how swift they were, one would think they had been a cosy couple with each other. The way the lips moulded with each other was a sign that they both wanted this.Lila, however, was sure that it was because of how sad she felt earlier that caused this. She was not the kind of girl to just think of kissing a man and do it just because of the fun of it, and moreover, this was Levi; Levi was not the kind of man she would think of kissing just like that. She began to realise what was happening, and her heart was racing with numerous worries.'Why are your eyes closed? Why are you enjoying this? Why does it feel like something you've been missing and that you want?' Lila screamed at herself in her mind before jerking out of the kiss. It was hard to blame it on anyone, as they had both initiated and kissed each other with the same vigour. She stood up and hurried out of the

Lila just realised how popular Levi was as they walked in; different people kept standing up to talk to him, and he made sure to first introduce her to them before engaging them in any conversation whatsoever. Lila got tired of standing as she thought they would be sitting by then. She leaned into his ear and whispered. "I'll be in the washroom," she said before slipping away. She knew what they were speaking on, but she did not want to chime in, especially since they had not asked her to. She was glad to be away from the conversation and people at once. From the door of the room, she could tell that there was a group of girls in there, and from the sound of it, they were talking about someone.She got into the washroom and maybe the girls in there did not know she was the one but they seemed to be talking about her. "Talk about gold digger vibes," one of them said and the rest snickered."I mean, she swore that she hated him but then went on to marry him." It was obvious that these g

By the time the crew that was in charge of transforming Lila was done, it was already evening. Lila felt a bit sore from sitting through it all, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, it compensated for it. She could not remember the last time she was so glammed up, maybe when she was doing her modelling gigs while still at university. Seeing herself look that good sent shivers down her spine and made her feel self-conscious."Lila, I have to say if I weren't straight, I'd ask you to marry me right here and now," Jasmine exclaimed with joy. Eleanor had been kicked by Jasmine being in the room and fussing over every little thing that was done to Lila, and for Eleanor, this was the last straw; she did not like what Jasmine had said, especially in front of everyone there."What was that?" Eleanor asked, and Jasmine realised that she might have made a mistake. She shook her head and offered a smile instead. "I think it's time for you to leave," Eleanor added immediately, causing Ja

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 t
