Lila had not been a fan of business events such as luncheons or fundraisers, but then, when Levi said they had to make another public appearance together, she agreed without thinking too much about it. With Victoria and Elizabeth's help, she picked a dress that was supposed to make her look stunning, and with all of the makeup skills she could muster, she did a minimal look and got ready."You look really pretty tonight," Levi said.Pretty was not what Levi wanted to say, but he did not want to make her uncomfortable, and Lila did not think that it would matter, but hearing him call her pretty made her feel like she was not well dressed for the event. She tried to push away the feelings that maybe he was just being nice with the compliments."You look stunning. When you entered from the door, I thought a goddess had come in to greet us," Jared said, walking up to the couple. Lila could not lie; she had expected Levi's reaction to be something like that, and hearing it from Jared did n

Lila tried her best to stay with Levi for days but he was barely himself with having to go to work and then the hospital every day, and each time she asked, all she got in response was that he was not getting better, which made her even sadder."Hello, Jared," Lila hummed into her phone when she picked it up."Can you help me out with...""I can't. I have some personal things going on with me and I don't think now is the right time for us to be out and about." Lila did not wait to hear what he needed company for; all she knew was that she was not going to be with him when Levi needed her support."Oh, I see." Jared sounded like he understood but Lila prepared her mind for scolding from her mother. Eleanor would go on and on about how she was terrible for disappointing such an important guest as he."Maybe some other time," she suggested so it did not sound like she was just saying no outrightly. She dropped the phone on the kitchen counter and took a deep breath."You can go," Levi sa

"I wonder why his father was not proactive enough to think about the future; he should have put the company in his son's name, and now with him gone, any Tom, Dick, or Harry can swoop in and try to lay claim on what they do not own. His uncles and brothers must be doing their homework and trying to find a way to take it all from him." Lila was impressed; her mom caring about Levi was not on her bingo cards.Maybe she had always been too hard on her mom and she was not as terrible as she thought her to be. Maybe she was just hard on her to be a better person in society and Lila had taken all of it all wrong in the first place."Now that he has nothing left for him, I think the best thing for you would be to look for other options on your own; you do not want to get stuck in that situation all by yourself," Eleanor said and the last bit of hope that Lila had been holding onto crashed and shattered into a thousand pieces.Why did she think that this woman would have changed overnight? Sh

With Levi back at work, Lila could not just sit around all day and staying at home did not sit well with her so she decided to go to a cafe to send out her portfolio to companies. She decided to get some air and coffee while also working. She knew that if she stayed home by herself, she would be consumed with the thoughts of what she could do for Levi and it was killing her that she could not do anything for him. She had wished she had bought some shares that she could give to him; it was too late now, as they had closed the market, and it was not going to be opened until the battle was over.She spent a while surfing through websites and submitting when necessary, hoping for some work to keep her busy. She was not even being picky about it, as she was going to take anything that was thrown her way.The door of the cafe opened and she looked up to see her sister standing there, her eyes searching around the room until they fell on her and she walked frantically to her."Lila," she bre

Lila stared at the phone in Levi's hand; on it was a picture of her and Jared from just this night, where he was holding onto her hand. She had no idea how the photographer had done it, but they both looked so cosy. Lila had not done anything wrong but she felt bad; she did not like that Levi had seen it and it was sending the wrong signal to him at that time."I can explain," Lila said, taking a step forward."What do you want to explain? "It's pretty self-explanatory," Levi spat at her. "You know, when I heard that there might be something going on between you and Jared, I swore that there was nothing but then I received this today, and it's already making rounds on the internet." His voice was pained and that hurt Lila more.She was sure that this was a setup by Jared, but she could not prove it. She did not even care about proving it; all she wanted to do was make sure that Levi did not get the wrong idea."It's not what you think at all; I was cornered.""Of course you were. You
