All Chapters of Legacy of Love and War: Chapter 81 - Chapter 90

As soon as Lila opened the door, she bumped into Levi, who was standing by the door; he held her by the waist before she could fall to the ground. They stared looking at each other in the eyes for a while before she cleared her throat and jumped out of his hands."I am sorry," she blurted without thinking."You are sorry? Why?""Huh!""Huh!""What?""Why are you sorry?""It's nothing," she said, and he nodded. She looked up at his dressing, only to realise he was dressed differently. "Where are you going?" She was trying to act as if she did not care, but something pricked her heart."The office," he responded with a frown as if this was something she was supposed to know.It dawned on her then that their honeymoon was over, and she was also supposed to resume today. She had been so caught up in everything that she did not even count the days again. "Oh right," she said, nodding as she realised she had lost her job on the same day that she was supposed to resume."Aren't you going to

Lila walked to her room. After the busy day, all she could think about was lying in bed with the covers all the way to her neck and sleeping as if that was all she knew how to do, but she knew it was a hard goal for now; she had to change into something her mother would like to see at the dinner table and then go down for dinner. She stopped in her tracks when she heard Levi's voice. She had been too busy even to know he had returned from work. She pressed her lips together as she listened to the conversation. She did not mean to eavesdrop; he was the one making what seemed like a personal conversation in a public space."Are you sure you are fine?" She rolled her eyes as she heard him ask for the tenth time since she stood there. She could not determine who it was over the phone, but judging from the way he spoke and how delicate he sounded, she knew it had to be one of his girlfriends. She felt anger surge through her. He was married to her but was still keeping his options open. Wh

By the time the crew that was in charge of transforming Lila was done, it was already evening. Lila felt a bit sore from sitting through it all, but when she looked at herself in the mirror, it compensated for it. She could not remember the last time she was so glammed up, maybe when she was doing her modelling gigs while still at university. Seeing herself look that good sent shivers down her spine and made her feel self-conscious."Lila, I have to say if I weren't straight, I'd ask you to marry me right here and now," Jasmine exclaimed with joy. Eleanor had been kicked by Jasmine being in the room and fussing over every little thing that was done to Lila, and for Eleanor, this was the last straw; she did not like what Jasmine had said, especially in front of everyone there."What was that?" Eleanor asked, and Jasmine realised that she might have made a mistake. She shook her head and offered a smile instead. "I think it's time for you to leave," Eleanor added immediately, causing Ja

The kiss continued, and both hands flew across their body as if this was not the first time they were doing this. With how swift they were, one would think they had been a cosy couple with each other. The way the lips moulded with each other was a sign that they both wanted this.Lila, however, was sure that it was because of how sad she felt earlier that caused this. She was not the kind of girl to just think of kissing a man and do it just because of the fun of it, and moreover, this was Levi; Levi was not the kind of man she would think of kissing just like that. She began to realise what was happening, and her heart was racing with numerous worries.'Why are your eyes closed? Why are you enjoying this? Why does it feel like something you've been missing and that you want?' Lila screamed at herself in her mind before jerking out of the kiss. It was hard to blame it on anyone, as they had both initiated and kissed each other with the same vigour. She stood up and hurried out of the

Lila finally understood why everyone cheered when they announced the people bidding because now she was actively raising her baton and screaming numbers in the air. Every time someone outbid her, she thought of her life before she raised it in the air and screamed a higher number. She knew her mother would think of her actions as foolish, but seeing that Levi was well-liked by everyone in the hall, she had no choice but to go higher.Levi could not tell if she was teasing him with her actions or if she was being for real with it because she had not seemed interested in anything happening since the bidding started. He smirked at her and received no reaction, as she seemed too busy with the bid. He prayed she would bid high, that she would win, as he would very much like that.Levi was not surprised by the numbers flying in the air; it was a charity, and every businessman wanted to use this opportunity to feel like a saint in society. Tomorrow, the headlines would read something noble a
