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

"Nate, mind me asking from where are you coming back?" Stephanie Lockwood, Nathaniel's Dad asked him when he got back to his place. His father had a pretty good idea though and it made him glaring at Nathaniel."I went to meet Granny." Nathaniel said though he knew where his Dad would head with this and tried not to lose his mind already."Why? Why do you keep meeting her? Can't you see what injustice she did to me? Did to you two? Just for her.." stopping his blabbering, Nathaniel spoke up sternly, "You are still out of harm's way I guess ." Without bothering his sternness, Stephanie spoke up, "Nate, you still have time. Get a hold of the business. Why do you keep being submissive to that selfish bastar..." "Enough, Dad. I won't tolerate a word against Shane. If anyone in all this is selfish, then it's only you. Don't make me remember what you did to Uncle Clarke when he was diagnosed with terminal disease. Just for you.." While shaking his head, Stephanie spoke up cutting his wor

Though Aiden agreed with Lilian for revealing the dirty truth about her father's character, he was scared about the consequences. He knew he would be Lilian's father's first suspect and James Marshall wouldn't let him get away with this easily. But remembering the hurtful moments from the past, he didn't get himself to think otherwise. And as he expected, James was at his place when it was early in the afternoon. Thankfully he thought of this possibility and sent his parents to visit some of their relatives. Before he could say something, James spoke up, "I know it's you. So, don't make any excuse. And if you think, I will spare you, you are so wrong. You should have known me better. Be ready to face the consequences, Aiden. I will destroy you and_" Aiden stood silently, staring at him as James went on threatening more. Even if he was afraid, he didn't wish to look like that. He was about to say something but a voice came from behind interrupting as well as startling them, "And yo

Lilian was more than just relieved to get a break from all this. This drama was taking her too far and the only ending she was reaching was nowhere like that. After calling Shane when she found the line engaged, she sent a text to him about meeting him tomorrow at his office. She was sure that their deal was already successful and Karen wasn't going to force him to marry Lahaina anymore and it was on Shane to handle the other things. If possible she was going to join the job at Shane's office or somewhere else in this town and stay with Aiden's family. After so long time, she had gotten the family affection again and obviously was in no mood to leave from there already unlike her plan. There was something on Karen's face that gave her the vibes that her so called father wouldn't be able to do any harm to Aiden or his family even after knowing his involvement in revealing the truth about him and this thing gave too much peace to her restless mind. Maybe that's why she was consideri

"We were never in a commitment." Shane said so calmly thinking it would be nothing shocking to Willow as he was well aware more than Elena, she disliked Lahaina for some unknown reason to him. He elaborated, "I got her here just to get rid of Lahaina." Willow was supposed to praise and congratulate him for being successful with this but it hit Willow hard in a different way. She stared at him as his words got registered in her mind. Again the picture of Aiden and Lilian got flashing in front of her eyes. They looked so happy and comfortable together that the staff wasn't wrong to think there wasn't just friendship between them but something beyond this. As she thought of the possibilities, words got out of her mouth involuntarily, "So, it might be that Lilian also loves him then." Shane picked her words immediately, "What did you say? Lilian loves whom?" Willow stared at Shane for a while, thinking what to say. But then if Lilian wasn't in a relationship with him why he would ca
