CHAPTER 67

Lila

Anna took her last chicken drumstick before heading to the playroom to join her brother.

“She might never eat that drumstick,” Olivia said in a playful tone, still trying to finish her own food. I hummed a response.

Mine was already getting cold in front of me. The kids might have gone silent about their father, but it felt like it was just the calm before the storm. I wasn't going to be able to lie to them forever. Even I was getting tired of it.

I was already thinking about what Olivia said about Dante. I didn't really know if he was a great dad. Getting my kids stuck with someone who wasn't going to love them as his wasn't something that I wanted.

Lucien.

I hated when my mind wandered off to him. He didn't even know that they were his when he started being nice towards them.

“Ugh,” I said out loud, running my hands through my face. Olivia reached out almost immediately, giving me a sympathetic glance.

“You'll be fine, love. Everything will make sense soon enou

    CHAPTER 74LilaI checked my bag one more time to make sure that everything the kids were going to need for the beach was set.“Your phone has been ringing for so long, mommy,” Anna complained, and I couldn't even blame her. “You don't have to worry, baby. The person will stop calling soon enough. For now, go and join your brother in the car.”Anna nodded, heading out without even one bit of an argument. I couldn't help but love how they always listened to me. “All set?” Olivia asked, walking into the room with her own tiny bag. “Yes,” I answered. The kids had been wanting to go out, so I quickly suggested the beach before they would go and on about how they wanted Lucien to take them. I didn't even want his name to be mentioned in the house. My phone rang again, making me hiss. Olivia leaned over, checking who it was. She let out a hiss as well as soon as she saw the caller ID. “You would think he would stop calling you now that he's about to become a family man,” Olivia said, m

    CHAPTER 73Lila “ You can't remain in bed forever,” Olivia groaned, as she tried to bring me out of bed. After getting the kids ready and off to school, I wasn't even interested in doing anything else. I just wanted to lay in bed, and rest. There was nothing else that seemed appealing to me at that point. Not the food, not the clothes. “I can't help it,” I muttered, staring out through my window, just the way I had been doing the whole night. After we got home the night before, I didn't tell Olivia a thing. She was slightly drunk herself, so I just allowed her go to sleep, while I found my way to the children's room. I ran my hands through their hair, inhaling the scent of them. Anna had woken up at one point to ask me if everything was okay. I shushed her back to sleep. The thought that there was a possibility that Lucien could take them away from made a shudder run through my spine. They were mine. I couldn't have them taken away from me. Olivia placed a hand on my leg, bringi

  • SUBSTITUTE BRIDE I WANT YOU BACK LILA    THE STAIRS

    CHAPTER 72LucienI watched Lila as she walked away, swaying her hips from side to side. Fuck, was she beautiful. I could barely move from the chair after she left. I could only rub my hands through my face. How how many people was I going to explain to, that whatever I told Lila wasn't what I meant?The kids didn't have to go to the court either. In fact, I didn't want any of that. I just wanted to co-parent with her. I wanted to spend time with the kids. Lila was scared. And somehow, so was I. I managed to get down from the the car, heading back into the club to her. I didn't know if she was even going to listen to me, but I didn't care. She had to listen. I spotted the guy that was dancing with Olivia. “Excuse me. Where's the lady you were dancing with?”“Olivia?” He asked, and I nodded.“Her friend came crying. So they had to leave together.”I took a step back. She was crying. I walked back to the counter, ordering more drinks. Everything in me wanted to chase her all the way

  • SUBSTITUTE BRIDE I WANT YOU BACK LILA    AT THE CENTER

    CHAPTER 71LilaI immediately recognized Lucien's black car before we even got to it. He quickly opened the back seat, and I got in. He was barely even seated when I started kissing him again. His hands were rubbing through my already hardened nipples. A shiver ran through my spine. I could feel him smile against my lips. “You didn't put on a bra. Did you know you will meet me here?” He asked, and I shook my head innocently. He leaned back against his seat, grabbing my waist and pulling me to straddle him. I started kissing him shamelessly again. I searched for the anger that I was supposed to feel for this man. It wasn't there. I hated how weak I was when it came to him. “I'm sorry, Lila,” he whispered, bringing tears to my eyes. I didn't want to talk about what he did. I still wanted to be mad at him when I was off this high that I was on. “Kiss me,” I ordered. He slipped his tongue into my mouth. His tongue moved with mine in equal rhythm like a game of push and pull. Lucien'

  • SUBSTITUTE BRIDE I WANT YOU BACK LILA    A QUESTION

    CHAPTER 70LilaOlivia forced me to the bathroom to have a shower. As soon as the water started drumming against my skin, the only thing I wanted to do was slip into my pyjamas and get into bed immediately. But Olivia was already banging at the door. “Aren't you done yet? I'm already done. Hurry up when the night is still young!”Who did this to my best friend?I managed to drag myself out of the bathroom, watching her as she picked out my outfit. I watched her lay out a tight black t-shirt, an extremely short leather skirt, and leather boots that had chains on them. I didn't even know I had those. “Look at the beauties you've been hoarding in your wardrobe,” she gasped. I wanted to roll my eyes. “You can't blame me. I'm a mother now. I can't wear all these outside,” I said, but she was already placing the clothes in my hands. She put on an equally short jade dress that fit her perfectly with her black feathery strappy heels. I slipped the clothes on, and they still fit. It fit me

  • SUBSTITUTE BRIDE I WANT YOU BACK LILA    ON MY THIGHS

    CHAPTER 69Lila. Don't lose your cool. I whispered the words like a mantra. I wanted Lucien around me. Hell, I wanted his hand on my thigh, calming me down while I watched other people analyze the business, and give the possible percentages of a success or failure. But I couldn't stop thinking about everything that he had done. The betrayal. Nothing was going to remain the same. All eyes were on us, as they waited for him to move. “I can move away slightly, Miss Vitale.”“No,” I quickly answered. “I want you far away from me.” I was letting my emotions get the better of me. I wasn't sure that I cared at that point in time. The door suddenly burst open, and Lily walked in. That was more than enough to get me annoyed. “You heard her, Lucien. You can't force her. I always told you that your perfume is quite choking.”I wanted to ask her what she was doing there, but we had already attracted more than enough attention from the rest of the pack members. I didn't want any more. Lucie
