Legacy of Love and War SIXTY SIX
Lila could not believe that the monsters she was expecting turned out to be really sweet people. With the way his mom welcomed her from the door, one would never believe that there was truly a war going on between both families. It made her wonder if it was only her family that was keeping up the war or if the Beaumont family was just a bunch of really good actors. She was leaning towards the latter because there was no way they were going to be really sweet towards her that way.Her mother was the exact opposite but she began to think otherwise with the way Levi's twin sisters interacted with their mother. She would get heavily scolded for speaking with her mom in that manner. She saw Daniel smile at his son and there was no mention of the news about them and their marriage.Eventually, when Catherine brought it up, Lila was shocked at the direction the conversation had gone. "I am sure it must have been strenuous for you," Catherine began."What?""I mean, having to be constantly wa

Levi brought Lila to the restaurant, and it was then she discovered she was underdressed for the occasion. When he had asked her to hang out and said that he had made reservations, it did not occur to her that it would be something fancy at all, so she was still in the same clothes she was going to wear to the hospital. What she could not understand was why he was also casually dressed. He knew where they were coming from, so why did he not dress up to par? Her thoughts were immediately cut short by the waitress, who introduced herself as Moon. She left them at their table and announced that she would be serving them for the day. "Thank you," Levi said after her little introduction, and she giggled as if he had said something funny. He smiled at her, and she wondered who was flirting. Maybe Jasmine was right about his beauty because everywhere they went there always seemed to be a woman who was interested in him. "We will take a minute to get our orders together and call you as s

Eleanor was waiting at the front door for them with an angry expression on her face. As soon as they came down from the car and began to walk to her, she put her hand on her waist and threw the second hand in a finger wiggle at her daughter's face. She was so angry that she felt she might slap her daughter if she could not pull herself together. She took a deep breath before they stopped in front of her."Where did you go all day? I thought you would come to the hospital to see your father. Why didn't you think about being a good daughter? Why was all you thought about just being a bad child? What else is more important than your father? You put him in that position; shouldn't you at least try to check in with him?" The woman's words poured out without any compassion. Levi frowned because he did not like her tone, and her words were even worse. He began to wonder if Eleanor was the real child of the Carringtons because nothing they had done to her made sense. How could her mother be

Overwhelmed with emotions of confusion about what had just happened, she walked over to him with both hands on her waist as she stared at him. He was seated on one of the sofas and slowly looked up at her with confusion as to why she was acting like that."Am I miserable? Do I look like I need pity? Or sad?" She asked."What are you talking about?" Levi could not understand her; he thought back to the entire day, and he could not pinpoint anything he had done to cause such a reaction from her."Why did you tell my mom all of that?" he asked. "Was that the reason you did that in the morning?" she asked as things began to make sense to her."Lila, listen to me.""Oh my goodness!" she exclaimed, running her hand through her hair angrily. "You must think that I am pitiful," she added with a scoff. "I can't believe this," she added as she began to pace around the room."You are getting all of this wrong.""Was the reservation even made before we left this house?" she asked, and when he did

Lila felt a sense of relief overshadow her as she saw her sister stand there. She rushed to her and wrapped her hands around her body, holding her tightly. Elizabeth raised her hand to her sister's hair, rubbing on it gently as the little one, Charlie, stood there confused as to what was happening. Noah cleared his throat to alert Lila, who slowly let go of her sister."Hi, brother-in-law," she greeted as if she had not just created a scene unknowingly. She smiled at him, and he greeted her back with a warm smile."Hello Lila, I have to say the marriage glow is on you." He trailed off when his wife shook her head at him. "I apologize," he said immediately and held his son's hand, leading him in."What are you doing here?" Lila asked as soon as Noah was out of hearing range."I am here to see you. I am so worried about you; I know how difficult it can be to live with Mom, so I came here," Elizabeth said. Lila felt touched by her words, but at the same time, she felt weirded out to hear

Soon they were all seated at the table for lunch, and for the first time in a long while, Lila saw a big smile on her mother's face. It was like looking at an alien. It was as if she were trying to punish her for something she must have done. Each time Lila tried to talk to her mom, she found a way to divert the attention back to someone else at the table. She was angry or displeased about something, and she was making sure to make it known to them all at the table. Levi could not understand why on earth a mother could be that cold to her daughter, and for what real reason?Lila tried her best to act as if nothing her mother did bothered her but in reality she did not like it; maybe if she had gotten married to someone else and had given her mother grandbabies, things would have been different; maybe she would have smiled widely at her like she did with Elizabeth and Victoria. Maybe she would say good things about her, but not only that, she was quite disappointed about a lot of thing

Lila tossed and turned in bed all morning; she had been so restless. The entire day yesterday went by the same. After lunch, dinner was still the same, with her mom fussing over Elizabeth and her child with little attention to her. It made no sense to Lila because the last children were the ones that they usually spoilt, but in the case of her mother, it was the reverse. It seemed like Elizabeth was a little more like her mother, so the woman took a liking to her more than anyone else.She finally pushed aside the laziness she felt and sat up in bed; she looked around, and Levi was nowhere to be seen. She was not surprised, as he was an early riser and she had known that from the honeymoon. Maybe he was out exercising. She glanced at the time and noticed it was getting closer to the time for breakfast.She hurriedly got out of bed and went on to freshen up because her mom would talk about her showing up to eat breakfast in her pyjamas. She styled her hair before heading downstairs. Th

"You've been back, and I thought you'd come to keep me company at the manor, as I am nearly losing my mind from boredom," Lila said over the line as Jasmine sighed."I also thought that I'd be able to make it to your manor as soon as I arrived, but I have to work," Jasmine replied with a sad tone. "Not everyone is as privileged to have a very long holiday," Jasmine added.Lila did not bother to ask her friend what the last statement meant. She just kept whining because even though the house was filled with a lot of people, she still felt very alone, and it made her feel even worse about it. "Come on, I'll have a driver ready to drive you to and from work, and you won't have to bother about anything else; I will take care of them," Lila said. It was like her bargaining card to convince her friend, but from Jasmine's smile, it was obvious she had not been able to convince her. "I am just so bored out of mind, and I think I really could use a little bit of company for a few days at least

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

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

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

Just after Eleanor had dismissed them from Lila's longest breakfast in a long time, Jasmine arrived at the manor. Lila felt happiness and relief wash over her. She was glad that she did not have to third wheel her mother and sister anymore and did not need to fight the confusion she felt when it was just her and Levi. She knew that her father would be angry to know she was getting soft for the man they had put her to marry. Yes, none of it made sense to the simple man, but she could never remember her life making sense to anyone before now."I will leave now," Lila announced without waiting for her mother to dismiss her. She stood up and walked to the exit without a word."Why does she act like that?" She heard her mother ask and she wanted to go back in and tell her that she was the reason she acted the way she did but she knew that there was going to be a fight over this if she did that so she let it slide off her back without waiting to hear if anyone would defend her or agree with

Levi opened his mouth to ask her what was wrong, but he was sure that she was not going to respond. From the violent shaking and the sobbing, she knew that something was wrong, and it disturbed her greatly, but she would not say anything was wrong with her and just sat there crying. Instead of trying to get to the root of it, he fell to her side and consoled her until the crying subsided. By the time she finally stopped crying, she felt a bit angry with herself that she had exploded into tears for something so trivial."I'm okay," she murmured as she was finally able to pull herself together."Are you sure?" he asked, looking around, and she nodded."Okay then, I think you should rest a bit," he said, helping her to her feet. She felt embarrassed by what had happened, but it had happened, and there was no way for her to erase the past. She wished that someone would comfort her and just tell her that everything was going to be fine in the end, but Levi did not say anything more and jus
