Lila muttered a jumble of words before excusing herself and walking away at once. She could not believe how shameless Fiona was but then she was trying to understand her; she had tried to do the same thing just a few days ago. She had been trying to put them together so why was she angry now that the woman was taking action by herself?Lila had Victoria come over later in the morning. "Oh my goodness, you did not tell me that you lived in such a lovely place," Victoria gushed as soon as they got into the house."I am sure that you live in a much better place." Victoria rolled her eyes and shrugged."I mean this place looks more like a home than any other house I have been in in the last ten years." Lila tried to ignore that what her sister said was right."I saw your ad," Toria said, breaking the silence between them. Lila knew that her sister was there because of the ad, but she did not want to be the one to bring it up first."I am sure you did; it's pretty popular right now." Lila

Lila stood in the middle of the room, beating herself up. She knew that she should not have kissed him, but why did she feel like she needed to, and why did it also feel like she was going to do it again? She would have always thought she was not an impulsive person who did things just because, and here she was, not able to find any reason as to why she had kissed Levi. She was not regretting locking lips with him, more like she wished she had done it earlier.Over the next few days, the tension between them was worse; Levi was treating her with so much arms-length aloofness, as if she were something that needed to be avoided by all means. If she were in a room and he mistakenly stumbled in, he would walk out without looking at her or even trying to strike up a conversation with her, which was a bit odd to her. At first, she thought she was being paranoid, but then it turned into a trend for him towards her.He would wake up extra early and even skip breakfast just so he did not have

Lila was tired of the awkward air between her and Levi; they were supposed to be friends, and she wanted that back. The one where they could talk and not get at each other's throats, and they could just coexist without anyone feeling threatened. She wanted that and because she knew that Levi was most likely not to come forward first, she decided to break the ice between them and speak to him first.She went down that morning early and met Levi back from his exercise, gulping down water in the kitchen. Seh cleared her throat to announce her presence. "I want to talk to you; can we talk?" she asked, pulling a chair at the breakfast table and taking a seat without giving him many options to opt out.Levi closed up the bottle and dropped the bottle to the table before sitting down opposite her. "The air between us is driving me insane and I want to call a truce," she said. She had practised a great speech in the mirror that morning but as soon as she saw his arms and biceps on display, al

Lila arrived at her parent's manor; it was bringing back bad memories but she decided to push it aside. Her parents had brought her there that night because they wanted to make things different between them. If she was being difficult, then that would make her annoying and difficult to understand.She was sure that her father was going to ask all of the family to be there because, since he had been admitted to the hospital, they had stopped having the weekly family dinner, but she was thrown into a state of shock when she was the only one there. She wanted to call her sisters up to know why they were late or if they were not coming at all."I did not invite them," Eleanor said as she hurried through the kitchen. Her attitude was weird to Lila because she had never seen her so invested in meal preparation before. She was tempted to ask her mother why, but seeing how she had responded to her action and based on her previous interactions with her mom, she swallowed the question and let i

Lila was worried about Levi; it was already past midnight and he had not come back yet. She did not even know where to go and check, and she did not want it to be that when she left the house, he would suddenly show up later. Seh sighed with relief when she saw him come into the house, but that relief was replaced with anxiety as she rushed to him."Where have you been..." she trailed off from the questions she was about to hurl at him when she saw his bruised face, the corner of his mouth was leaking, and his eye was bruised. His nose bone looked like it needed a doctor's attention."Let us go to the hospital," Lila announced when she realised that it might be a lot. She could only imagine the kind of fight he had gotten into because of her. It made her feel bad and beat herself up."I can't," he said and winced in pain."See that? It hurts so much that you can't even talk," she said, holding his hand by the wrist and turning towards the door. "Let's go to the hospital," she said aga
