Lila had gotten to know that the island was hosting a party and since she had nothing else to do, she decided to go to the party. As usual, Levi was gone all day so she sent him a message informing him about the party before she went dress shopping. She knew her mother would approve of them going to the party so she made plans to do so.

She and Jasmine spent a bit of time shopping for dresses before getting their hair, nails, and makeup done. By the time they were all done with it all, it was already close to the time for the party. Lila checked her phone for the hundredth time in a second; Levi had not replied to the message she sent and he was nowhere to be seen. Knowing that this was an opportunity for them to get their names out there, she was sure he would not miss it so she left a note for him in the room telling him to meet her there as she would be waiting.

By the time she got to the party venue, she realised it was a much larger party than she had thought. There were tons of

    Lila had been so elated to see how viral the commercial she had done was. Everyone was complimenting her beauty, and with how many people were sharing the picture, it soon became the talk of the town."The commercial was a success," Levi said with a smile as they sat down for breakfast that morning."I see that and I think we have my beauty to thank for that" she said in a teasing voice and with a smile."I do not doubt that even for a second," Levi said, making her heart skip a beat. He was agreeing to the fact that she was good-looking. This was supposed to be a normal conversation, so she could not understand why it made her belly chime with joy. "Let's celebrate," Levi suggested when he realised the silence in the room."Celebrate?""Yes, the success of the commercial – I think it is worth celebrating.""Okay, what do you have in mind?""Maybe some fancy dinner and then we can hit the bar afterwards for some drinks? What do you think?" He asked, hoping she would not turn him down.

    Levi was not thinking about anything; he could clearly tell from where he stood that Lila was uncomfortable with this man that had made his way into the room and was forcing himself on her."What are you doing?" Levi barked at him. The man seemed to take it as a challenge because he squared his shoulders and pushed out his chest as if to show he was a tad better than Levi."Talking to the pretty lady before you interrupted us," he replied. Lila was stunned at his response. He knew that Levi was still the boss and yet he wanted to go head-to-head with him? How nice, she thought to herself, taking a deep breath."And were you not taught that if a pretty lady says no, then she means no?" Levi asked. Lila could only focus her mind on where he called her pretty. Even though she knew it was for context's sake, it felt good to be called pretty by him; when the man in front of her had said it, she felt good but not as good as now with the butterflies in her stomach and the pounding of her che

    Lila barely saw Levi for a week, as he always left at the crack of dawn and got back when the night was already far gone. She knew that if she were still working at Carrington Foods or even at the manor, she wouldn't have time to think about what Levi was doing and how she was alone in the house. Having Mayr and Elena was not enough company. No matter how she tried to connect with them, they always placed a gap, and she understood well what they were trying to say.She spent the entire week looking for modelling jobs; this was the only job she could do without her parents' interference. Knowing it was going to anger them, she did it because she needed money, and at the same time, she was bored. Her mother had taken the liberty of placing a hold on all of her accounts. She regretted in that moment not having a separate personal account.She was shocked that the Beaumont company offered her the first modelling gig. They knew very well who she was, and yet they thought it wise to still o

    Lila never thought she could miss something she did not love, but here she was. She did not know she would miss Levi's house as much as this. It was his house because he was the one who got it and even paid for everything to make sure they had a place to live. She tried to make sure he did not show how happy she was to be back there.Levi introduced her to the newly hired keeper who was to live in. She wanted to ask him when he got the chance to do all of that, but she just let it go because he did not look as though he was happy to be there with her. She introduced herself as Mary and told her that she had a daughter who was a college student and was around because of vacation."I am glad to hear that; it's really good news," Lila said happily, clapping when she realised that she would not be at home alone. She was jobless, and that meant all she had to do was mope around all day. "I wouldn't sit around all day by myself," she added when it seemed like no one asked her why.Levi just

    Lila called her sisters to give them an update on what had happened. "So, Mom kicked us out," Lila said."Thank God," Victoria replied, earning a scoff from both her sisters. "You guys want to act like you do not know what I mean. I mean, I love Mom, but these kinds of love are better expressed from a distance. I could imagine living in that place with her and having her breath down my neck," she added."I can not imagine that either, but still it's kind of sad that she kicked her out," Beth replied."Beth, you only say it is kind of sad because you have the best relationship with Mom; if you were in either of our shoes..." Vitoria shuddered as she trailed off. "Trust me, you wouldn't want to be in our shoes," she added."Guys, that is not the issue here," Lila said, drawing them back to reality. "The issue is that...""There is no issue here; I only want to know the full details of what happened last night," Victoria replied. Lila knew that if it were her sister against her mom, she

    Lila stirred in bed; she felt her head pound a little as she struggled to sit up, memories of her ruining her mother's party came flooding back into her mind. She winced as she looked around the room, wondering how disappointed she must have been feeling at her. She had a chance to prove herself, but the only thing she did was blow it at once.She looked around the room, wondering why she was alone; she at least thought that Levi would be there with her when she woke up. All she remembered was introducing Levi to his girlfriend and then blacking out at once. She immediately concluded that he had probably gone to see Fiona.She had to think back on the night because her just fainting like that out of nowhere made no sense. The party had started, and someone offered a drink. Without thinking too much about it, she accepted, and the next thing she knew, she was dizzy and blacking out out of nowhere.She managed to get out of bed at once and with all the strength within her, she changed o
