"Watch your words, young lady. She is my friend come sister_in_law." Willow uttered in a stern voice to the salesgirl. "I am sorry, Ma'am. I didn't know." Willow dismissed her apology statement shrugging and turned to Lilian, "Lilian, it's my boutique. And no way, I am taking money from you." Lilian tried to say something but Willow spoke up remembering her earlier behavior, "Don't tell me you.." Lilian got totally silent and Willow turned to the salesgirl again, "Pack the dresses, I chose earlier." Before Lilian could say something, the girl was already on her way to do as she was told. "Willow, please. It's not necessary. I have enough dresses. I don't need all these." Willow turned to her and making a serious face, she spoke up, "It's a 'thank you' gift for you." Lilian was bewildered. What did I possibly do for her to thank me! Lilian asked hesitantly, "Thank you! For what?" "Well, you will get to know but not now." Willow shrugged. Leaving that thought aside, for now, Li
"Granny wants what?" Shane asked when Lilian got silent. Lilian turned to Shane and then again behind him as she moved her hands away from Shane's shoulder and tried to take a step back but Shane's hold on her waist didn't let her. "What happened?" Shane asked when he saw Lilian's shocked expression. The music also got finished getting everyone around to applaud for the people on the dance floor. Shane also looked around and caught sight of Aiden. Let's deal with this first and then I would talk to Lilian. Thinking this, he walked to him holding Lilian's hand. Aiden also walked forward to reach them with different thoughts crossing his mind. Getting near, he reached out his hand with a file, "Sir, the file." "You could just have left it at my place, Aiden. Anyways, thank you." Mack told him to leave the file at Shane's place but for some reason, he didn't want to do it. He was just trying to avoid an encounter but he wasn't expecting this to face instead. When Shane saw Aiden st
Lilian entered the room while saying, "You are not very hospitable, Ms. Frances." Lahaina thought and tried to fake ignorance, "Who are you talking to? Who is Frances? I am Lahaina Marshall." though she was getting cold frets already. "Of course. I also thought so. But.." Lilian didn't complete her sentence but Lahaina knew it all from the expression on her face. "Who the hell told you all this crap?" Shocked would be an understatement for Lahaina. How come she got to know about her? Her eyes got widened when she found Lilian knowing even more about her. "I just meet a friend of yours at the party, you know. He was saying all this. About your Mom seducing someone to.." What if she said this to Shane and Karen? If they believed Lilian, then she would be cut loose within a moment. Lahaina straight got to the point, "What do you want from me?" Lilian smiled sarcastically, "This is true? I thought.." Lahaina was dumbfounded. She should have denied it till the end just. She thought
When Lilian arrived at Lockwood Mansion, Shane and Clarke were already out for the office. Karen was gossiping with Lahaina in the living room. Seeing her, Karen asked, "Where did you go early in the morning?" Lilian walked near as she spoke up hesitantly, "I need to buy something." Lahaina didn't miss the chance to provoke her, "This time?" Without bothering much, Lilian spoke up, "Why? Should I have asked you before going out?" Lahaina glared at her whereas Karen stared at Lilian blankly. Lilian turned to Karen, "I wanted to meet a friend also. As he had to go to his office that's why.." Karen shrugged off her explanation, "It's okay. So, you meet him?" "Hmm?" Lilian uttered being confused. Karen spoke up again, "Your friend, did you get to you meet him?" Lilian nodded smilingly but got confused how come Karen knew about her friend being a guy. "Ma'am, your sweet dish, I have left it on your bed side table." The maid said as she stood in front of Karen. Nodding at her, Kare
Shane shifted his gaze from Lahaina to Karen. Her unmoving stare at Lilian let him have a rough idea, Karen was reading too much between the lines. He tried to resolve her mind, "Granny, it's not as Lahaina is saying. Lilian can't do wrong to you. She knows very well how much you mean to me." But it turned out to be a futile attempt as Karen's expression didn't change. Nor did it get away from Lilian's face. Leaving that matter to resolve later, Clarke sat beside Karen, "Mom, if anyone has intentionally done this no matter whoever the person is, can't get away with it. But we will talk about this later. Mom, you please don't take stress now." "Right." Shane said after him, "You have to get better first. Everything comes after that." None said otherwise as they were well aware that the matter wasn't tried to be ignored here but the priority was decided to go for. And it was going to be handled accordingly. "Everyone please go outside. Granny needs rest." Willow supported them imme
In all this, if someone was getting confused and hell worried, it was Lahaina. Whatever was going on wasn't letting her think straight. Karen must have something up her sleeves. But what? She thought.She had every chance to throw Lilian out of their way. But she didn't. Rather she was acting nonchalant. It didn't even seem like she was doubting on her but still, she could feel something fishy here. But she just couldn't point her finger at it. She was well aware of why Karen was trying for Shane to marry her. It wasn't because she liked her but now she was getting confused with Karen's behavior. What's happening actually! Shane was pleasantly surprised to see his Granny falling for their act. He was feeling somewhat guilty though for lying to her like this. But as it was supposed to get Lahaina away from him and his family and he was willing to do anything for it. ~~ It was early in the evening. Lilian was searching for something in the storeroom. When she found it, she made her
Karen stared at Shane's face for a good long time but other than confusion she couldn't figure out anything else. The reason behind his confused expression was pretty obvious. He was just guessing what they were talking about. Lilian tried to say something but Elena stopped her, "Lilian, I need your help in something. Please come with me." Karen stared at Lilian's face also for a few moments until Lilian followed Elena nodding at her, "Okay." Though Lilian stated her words boldly in their heated conversation, she saw the hurt flashing in her eyes. She was just confused that if it was for Shane or she had also faced something like this. Because it could be pretty normal to understand. Living a life of an orphan most probably hadn't been easy for her. She might have to do something against her will as per the situation demanded. But Shane.. She again faced him. She never got to give it a thought that way. She was busy with some other things. She never wanted to force Shane but it
When Lahaina left Lockwood Mansion in a hurry making an excuse that she had gotten some urgent work, no one bothered to ask her anything let alone stop her. If it was some other time, she would have felt bothered with it herself but for today, she was nothing but thankful. She wasn’t ready for answering the question that was waiting for getting thrown at her, not least when Lilian was there and her knowing the truth already. But how in the world, it happened! She got wondering as she took a cab and made her way to her place and took out her phone to call her mother.Lilian was about to stand up with an intention to reach for the newspaper but Shane beat her to it. As in the next moment, Shane took the paper intending to check out business articles but his eyes got stopped when he caught the words. HOT: James Marshall Affair! A picture of James with Lahaina and her mother and another was with Lilian's mother when they got married. Shane threw the newspaper on the coffee table being
