PLACE: CARRINGTON'S MANSIONTIME: SUNDAY 6:45 PM"Everyone, listen up," William said from the head of the table, tapping the edge slightly to catch the attention of everyone. Williams was a family man, and for that reason, he had the entire family back at his mansion every Sunday for dinner to get away. That way, they could discuss and gloss over the events of the week and give each other updates. After dinner every night, the men got together and watched a sport regardless of what was airing at that time. They all seemed to enjoy the time together. The older women would go out to the balcony and have tea while talking; they called it talking, but everyone knew very well that it was gossip. The younger girls would cluster in Lila's room and try to really catch up on what had been going on. Everyone raises their head to William at the head of the table. He dropped his spoon to his plate and propped his elbow on the table so he could intertwine his fingers. Seeing his posture, everyon

LOCATION: CARRINGTON'S MANSIONTIME: SUNDAY DINNER TIME"Sit back down this instant," William commanded. She looked around at the faces of the people she shared the table with, and she could tell that they were all telling one thing, and that was that she better sit down at once. She swallowed and sat down, facing her father. In as much as she always tried her best to obey him, she was not going to let him have his way this time around. This was not going to be in her favour in any way, and she could not just knowingly walk into it. "You would listen to me, and you would do what I say," he added. She shook her head at him. "Lila, listen to your father," Eleanor said. "But mom..." Lila whined. She could not believe how easily her mother had switched sides. She was just definitely on her side a moment ago, but all of a sudden she was telling her to bow her head and listen to her father because apparently, he was the one who had the final say. "There is no but here. I think it would

THREE WEEKS LATERPORCH OF CHARITYWEDDING VENUE"Did Dad need to go all out for this? This is a contract marriage, yet he is celebrating it as if they were getting married for real," Elizabeth murmured to her sister. "I know right, he sure does not like to lose in something," Victoria replied as they walked to the bridal suite, where their sister was now sitting and waiting for them to call her so she could walk down the island and get stuck in the marriage of her nightmares. They opened the door and walked straight into the room; they turned a corner, and Lila was sitting there with her bouquet in hand. "Oh my gosh!" Victoria was excited, clapping her hand in the air. "Oh my days!" she added in excitement. "Do you think you are a little too excited about a fake marriage?" Lial asked watching her sister really get excited. "Why are you excited anyway?" "I mean, I have always imagined what you would look like in a dress as pretty as this," she said with tears falling in between he

“Why would you come here? You are supposed to be at your husband's house,” William said when he saw his daughter sit in the living room with them.”Do you want people to gossip? You should go home.” Lial rolled her eyes at him. She wanted to tell him that she had come to get a few things, but she kept that to herself as she wanted to have a more serious conversation with him instead. It had been a long day for them, especially considering that they had been on their feet all day, lying as much as they could and trying their best to convince everyone about the marriage. The rest of the family had all retired to their own houses since it was already late at night. Lila and Levi had agreed to go to their homes and then meet up at their new house later in the night. Lila did not care about the house they lived in since she was not interested in getting married to him, so Levi did the research and got the house for them. She was only going to get the address and show up with a suitcase.

Levi followed her because they had to sort out the room situation. Somehow he had thought that they might share a room but after hearing what she had to say about their relationship situation, she knew that no way was ever happening. He might have to die first before they ever came in contact with each other."Is there anything else to say?" she asked, not turning back.Levi gasped in amazement; he wondered how she had sensed that he was following her when he was being as quiet as he could be. "Are you a witch?" Those were not the words he was supposed to say but somehow they had gotten out. He expected her to rain down curses on him for asking her that but her reply was more calm than she had thought."Well, my staff call me that so I guess you won't be entirely wrong to say at." Levi did not know he was to laugh or feel sorry for her. Knowing her staff were afraid of her and she knew yet it did not get to her somehow made him feel sad for her. "Is there anything we did not discuss?"
