Novel & Cerita Criminal Minds Lila

“Right now, the only thing keeping your sister and that spineless ex of yours from fucking blowing off your brain is my last name attached to yours.” My mind spun. The photos. The calls. My own sister sounding proud of destroying me. Everything I had; my engagement, my safety, my place in the family; gone in one night all because she wanted what was mine. Dominic watched me piece it together, with that steady dangerous calm of his. “Think fast, Lila. The longer you fight me, the faster they come for you.” I wanted to scream. I wanted to run. But my legs felt too heavy, and every new buzz from my phone reminded me the world outside this room already hated me.

Lila. *We need to talk. Now. Dean’s office. She knows about the raid. And she has the video.* My blood ran cold. Elliott stirred beside me, reading over my shoulder. “It’s a trap,” he muttered. But the next text sealed it: “Come alone. Or I send your dance photos to your dad in prison. – Lila” Lila? Blackmailing me? No. This wasn’t her. Elliott’s phone lit up seconds later. Unknown number:

My voice was unsteady, but the anger was real. “I know Romona owed you guys money, but why use me as a means to pay up? I have nothing to give. I can’t pay you back even if you sell my organs.” “What the hell is all this about selling your organs, Lyla?” Cathy snapped. “We’re not monsters that would do that to you.” I scoffed. “I find that hard to believe after I just witnessed your brother kill three guys in a different room.” Cathy looked taken aback, then a guilty look followed again.

I find myself being proud of Lila and her fierce determination. "I do believe her. She told me her story, and it was devastating. She also shared a lot about Hudson. If I'm honest, he sounds like a bit of a creep. He gave her drugs for s*xual favors. It's gross to think my brother is willing to do that to someone who uses someone's weakness for his self-satisfaction. I also learned it's really Gemma who is in charge of everything. People are terrified of her. I don't really know why they are all following her orders." Lila was deep in thought over this information. Her face is furrowed in concentration as she tries to work through her thoughts.

she wails, struggling against their grips as the guards carry her away. Meanwhile, Mindy has returned to Isabella’s body. “Oh my god, where am I?” Lila asks as she regains consciousness. Mindy groans, already hating the sound of Lila’s voice. Lila glares at Mindy. “What have you done to me, and why can’t I remember anything?” Lila asks as she approaches Mindy. Mindy sighs. “Lila, you need to calm down, and I’ll explain it all.”

“Everyone’s seen your nakedness, your shame. But let’s not forget, Mara, you brought this upon yourself. Had you not plotted against me, none of this would have happened.” Her face twisted in anger, and she screamed, “You ruined my plan! You ruined everything! I’ll kill you for this, Lila. I swear I’ll kill you!” I straightened up, my smirk returning. “Kill me? Oh, Mara, you’ve already admitted to your crimes. You’ve admitted to everything in front of witnesses. And now you’re threatening me? How very predictable.” Her struggles became more violent, and the bouncers tightened their grip on her. She was like a wild animal, thrashing and screaming, her voice growing hoarse. “I wish I’d killed

"Please, ma'am, I'll just clean it-…" "I said, lift your head!" She commanded. The maid begins to straighten. But as she does, her hand doesn't go to the floor. It reaches under the white linen of the trolley. It all happened in a blur, no one expected it. She snaps her head up. The cap falls away to reveal eyes bloodshot with manic, spiraling insanity. It is Lila, her face a twisted mask of hatred. In one fluid motion, Lila whips out a sleek, black handgun and aims it directly at Hailey’s chest.

Walking around the bed, I stood over her and sighed for the umpteenth time. “What the hell are you doing in Armani’s wife’s room, Leo?” I asked myself, still staring at her beautiful face. Despite the streaks of blood and the fatigue etched on her features, she still looked so gorgeous. When Armani told me his father had ordered him to get married, I expected it to be someone like him – someone who didn’t give two fucks about what her husband did or who he did it with. But Lila didn’t look like that kind of person. Her eyes shone with so many emotions down at the torture room that it was hard to figure out what she was thinking.

“But I’ve seen the way some of those men looked at you. At the hospital. In the background. Like you were the missing piece of some puzzle they couldn’t quite reach.” Goosebumps crawl over my skin. “Have you told Luca this?” “I tried. But he’s so focused on the drug lords and the money laundering, he won’t listen to other theories. He’s spiraling, Lila. He’s trying to protect you, but he’s drowning in secrets.” A lump forms in my throat. “He doesn’t talk to me anymore. Not really.” “He’s scared,” Lena says. “And guilt ridden. Our mother… she left behind a mess none of us were prepared for. He’s trying to clean it up and protect you, but he’s just a man.”

Lila The first thing I was aware of was a male voice in the distance. Each word was pulling me to wake up but my chest felt heavy and God did my body hurt. I knew that voice. It belonged to the morning news anchor on Channel 8. Derrick Green. He had interviewed me three months ago and I found myself watching him everyday since then. He had a lovely voice and an even lovelier face, something Orion had always been jealous about. “…tragic news reaching our desk this morning.
