Semua Bab Legacy of Love and War: Bab 11 - Bab 20

"Get coffee? What do you mean, get coffee? You are a married woman and you should be with your husband on a day like this," Elizabeth replied.Lila wanted to scream at her sister; she knew she was mocking her and this was supposed to be a joke but she did not like the way it sounded. She had always known all her life that she would have to get married to whoever her father chose for her; what she did not anticipate was that she would get together with her mortal enemy."Come on Eli!" she exclaimed instead of saying what she wanted to say."Lila, you know you can't be seen in public for now. If you do, then all of the things that our parents have tried to do will go down the drain," she said and then smacked her lips. "You definitely do not want that to happen, do you?" she asked. Lila tried to listen so she could know what tone her sister was using with her but it seemed not to work."Of course, I do not want that to happen and that is the reason I walked willingly into the lion's den

"Want to get hotdogs?'Lila raised her head and looked in the direction of the hotdog stand; she had never thought that one day she would be walking down the street with a heavy disguise and thick-rimmed dark glasses to hide her identity from the press and Levi would be by her side as they walked down the busy street. She knew that they were not supposed to be doing this because if anyone caught a whiff that they were still in the country and not on their honeymoon as they claimed, then it was going to be big trouble for both families. As much as she knew how wrong this was, she could not help but feel relieved. Since her father dropped the news on her about her marriage to Levi, she had been feeling so overwhelmed by everything.Standing outside and allowing the warm breeze and the indistinct chatter around made her for a moment forget all she had been going through in recent times. "Do you want some?" he asked again and she looked at him as he stood there with a baseball cap coverin

Lila was knocking loudly and was not planning on stopping until the door opened and she could talk to Levi. She would never have come to his room, especially not early in the morning but she had no choice. The door opened slowly and he peeked his head out at her. "He..." he was cut off by her pushing the door and abraging in."Save the pleasantries," she said, pushing the phone in his face as she was standing on her tiptoes. He squinted his eyes at the phone and took it out of her hand when she was barely able to keep the phone steady. "What do you plan on doing?" she asked when his expression indicated that he finally understood what was going on."Well, I am sure it is just a random rumour, and it will be gone soon," he said. He knew it was not a random rumour; his face was clear in the image and no one could tell who it was that was sitting opposite him. Why was he in the city after they had boldly declared to the entire country that they were headed out for their honeymoon? He was

Lila did not have the luxury to think about his body as she did yesterday. She was trying to come up with a better idea than the one he had. They could not go on a real honeymoon. If she had married someone else, she might have considered it, but Levi Beaumont? They were not compatible in any way and even worse, they were enemies.She had always wanted to get married to a man she loved and one who loved her back but she knew it was very close to impossible with her family. After the marriage with Levi ended, her father would try to fix her into another marriage immediately. She did not need to be told all of these things; she knew it without thinking too much of it.She wanted to get married and go on a proper honeymoon where she would love on her husband as much as he would do for her but now it was impossible anyway; however, she could not still bring herself to think of going on a trip with him. Only the two of them together? She might end up being convicted of murder."I need to t

"Our parents? Our parents are here." She was a hundred percent sure that he was messing with her because why on earth would her father, who was always busy, leave his day and come to meet her there? It was practically impossible."You sound as if I am lying? Why would I come up to your room just to lie to you?" From his expression, she could tell that he did not like being called a liar and it was almost convincing but she could not bring herself to accept that their parents would be there. Both parents were so busy with their daily lives that it was almost impossible to think they would come there."I have no idea; maybe this is a form of prank or entertainment for you," she said.He took a deep breath and crossed his hand over his chest and tried to cover the distance between them but she took a step back. He opened his mouth to speak but before he could say anything, another voice cut through the aur."Lila? Are you going to keep us waiting? What is taking you both so long?" Lila s
