Novel & Cerita Lila Catherine

Chapter 21 How Does She Know? Lyla Atelo. After Sage had left my office, I was bristled. Sara and Ivy pounded through the door once more to see me. I knew they were asking questions and rambling on about something, but my mind wasn't in the conversation. My ears kept on echoing Sage's words... I was his first? Like... I was the first woman he had ever had sex with, or did he mean I was the first older woman he had ever had sex with?

They had spaghetti, fruit salad, and a cake with a candle shaped 18 on it. Ellaine was forced to speak just to break the awkward silence, “Auntie, a while ago I met a strange woman. Her name is Margarette.” “Margarette? I don’t know a woman named Margarette living in the neighborhood.” “Maybe that’s because she’s living near the city proper. She has this shop selling weird stuffs as well.” Ellaine was not interested in eating her spaghetti anymore. She was merely poking it with her fork. “What kind of weird stuffs?”

Dhira also didn't understand, as she had only been instructed to keep it a secret that Liam was still good friends with Svarga. Dhira had no clue that he was determined to meet Catherine this soon. "Don't ask me about it, Cath. I know nothing," Dhira whispered. Catherine just sighed, her eyes refocusing on the event details on the tablet. Her lips curved into a thin smile, and the initial apprehension in her heart was replaced with a flood of ideas swirling in her mind. "Gistara...." Catherine repeated the name silently. "Arsila Gistara, is this the beginning of your downfall?"

“Miss Lily,” she said. Catherine and Keila walked back into the changing room. Catherine stared at the clothes with a dead look in her eyes. She held the rack and didn’t move. “Candace, Darby and now there’s a Lily?” she whispered. All educated, and we’ll bred ladies from distinguished families. She couldn’t contend, especially when the person she’d like to fight for was giving her mixed signals. “You like him, right?” Keila asked.

“If I had his kind of money, you’d never hear from me again.” Before I could respond, Lilac returned, a latte in one hand and a business card in the other. She slid into the booth beside Ariana with a smug grin plastered on her face. “Well?” Ariana and I leaned forward expectantly. “She’s a real estate agent,” Lilac said, holding up the card like a trophy. “Name’s Hailey. Thirty-two. Single. Lesbian.” She grinned wider. “And now, potentially interested in yours truly.” Ariana gasped dramatically. “Lilac! You’re unstoppable.”

Lila, on the other hand, felt her cheeks heated and turned red. She can’t help it, Lila’s lips slightly curved upward because finally, the person she’s been waiting for is already here, sitting exactly at her opposite direction. “Miss Santiago, continue.” Lila was brought back to reality when her professor called her. “Ah, as I was saying. I’m Lila, Lila Santiago. 16 years old from Sampaloc, Manila and my dream is to become a doctor.” Since everyone was busy with Lucas’ arrival, no one really cared about Lila’s introduction. It was okay for her, it doesn’t really bother her whether others may acknowledge her or not. But she was hoping to be noticed by him, Lucas.

When she glanced over, the pressure caused Nicola to be unable to utter a word. “Thanks, Mom,” Liam said with a smile. Catherine was completely confused. She never thought that Lea would speak up for her. It was absurd. “Sit down, dinner is about to start.” Old Madam Hill gave Catherine a meaningful glance. There were some things that did not have to be rushed. In any case, she would not agree to Liam and Catherine being together. Catherine was an illegitimate daughter and was unworthy of her grandson. ... There were quite a few celebrities attending the charity dinner tonight.

Always watching and planning. “Your highness, about the treaty…" Kallum lifted a hand, halting the man mid sentence as the council room door opened and Lila stood there. Lila's blond hair flowed past her shoulders, adorned with emerald hair pins, she grew into a tall curvy woman, one who no one could resist. But Lila had chosen her path, breaking off her mate bond and following the Reid's. Her posture gave her away, too stiff. The council members turned to her direction but her eyes remained on Kallum.
