Alle Kapitel von SUBSTITUTE BRIDE I WANT YOU BACK LILA : Kapitel 81 – Kapitel 90

CHAPTER 81LucienLila choked on absolutely nothing. I pushed my glass of chilled water in her direction. She could barely hold the glass up, and I was more than glad to help it to her lips, watching as she maintained eye contact while taking her quick but small sips. “Are you okay now?” I asked her after she finished drinking. She nodded, while I helped her pat her lips dry. “What did you just say?” She asked, leaning down like she was telling me a secret that definitely didn't need a second ear. I honestly didn't care about that at that point. “I'm not joking, Lila. Lily and I have barely touched each other in years. Then I suddenly come home drunk, remember sleeping off, and then wake up to Lily beside me practically naked.”She blushes, looking away. “Okay, that is quite an experience,” she huffs.“Tell me about it,” I answered drily. “Lily wouldn't lie about something like that though. What would her intentions be?” I looked up at Lila, and knew that she was thinking the exac

CHAPTER 82 LilaI stopped my feet from tapping against the feet of my car as I drove towards the office. The weekend was marvelous, just as I wanted it to be. Spending time with the kids was everything I could ask for. Olivia was there as usual, being the strong hold that I always knew I needed. But she wasn't going to be with me forever. The thousand thoughts that were running through my mind couldn't be stopped though. The competition wa setting closer, and everything was supposed to be in place. I couldn't take a chance. Just as I was about to park in my designated spot, my phone rang on the passenger seat, making me jump. I managed to calm down when I saw that it was just Hannah. I answered the phone, pressing it to my ear. “Hello, Hannah. You don't have to worry, I'll be upstairs in a few minutes.”She heaved a sigh of relief. “I'm glad I called you at this time time actually. The event is getting closer.”I rolled my eyes with a small smile on my face. She was more excited t

CHAPTER 85Lila“Is everything ready?” I asked Hannah, and she nodded. Anne, the creative director walked in almost immediately. She plastered a small smile on her face, and I couldn't even return the smile. Not when I still remember everything that happened from the last meeting, when she clearly asked me to try to get laid. If there was one thing I've already managed to figure out, it's the fact that she was a nice woman. I wish I could return that with the way I was feeling at this point. “And we meet again, Miss Vitale,” she said in a light tone. I managed to give her a slight nod, and she frowned. “Did something go wrong with the planning?” She asked, looking between Hannah and me.“Ma'am is just stressed. The machines finally came in after so long, and they've been working two times more than they should. She doesn't want them to get spoilt since we don't have the time for that.”She clicked her tongue. “You shouldn't have to worry about that, Lila. Nothing will go wrong.” She

CHAPTER 87LilaI paced around the house for what seemed like the hundredth time. “I'll be leaving the house for the four of you to have a little family time,” Olivia said in a light tone as she joked, making me swallow hard. I wasn't sure that I wanted her out of the house while I had some kind of private moment with Lucien. “I don't think I want to he alone with him just yet,” I said, and she snorted. “Of course you do. You'll behave like a jellyfish if I stay here with you and hold your hand. You need to tell the kids everything they need to know in the simplest way possible. No hiding. No twisted words.”I nodded my head at her. Trust Olivia to make things simple for me. She grabbed her bag, looking more than excited to leave the house. “Do you have a date with someone?” I asked, and she nodded, beaming more than I've ever seen her do in years. She didn't even look that happy when she won her biggest contract in years. “You remember the guy at the club? He called me after get

CHAPTER 89LilaI turned around to see who tried speaking to me, and I almost choked. It was Rachel. The famous fashion designer that took second place in the last completion, and first place in this one. The smile on her face seemed to slowly slip away the more she stared at me. “How many I help you?” I asked. She slowly walked towards me in her dress that obviously looked like a masterpiece that she has created herself. “I've been meaning to talk to you for a while,” she said, walking around me like a predator to its prey. It was almost like she was assessing me. I didn't know if I was supposed to even care that much. But I did. She was one of the top people in the fashion industry. Always beneath her mom of course. Her mom was Victoria Cornelli. She owned an empire. Rachel was lucky to have a mother like her. A shiver ran through my spine because of whatever was happening, but I couldn't show it. I tried everything that I could not to make it too obvious. At least for now. I lo
