“Go to jail for me, and once you come out, I will definitely marry you.” Those words from Gavin had been ringing in Lila’s head for three years since she agreed to go to jail to save him. She could not understand why words meant so little to him and why he was okay with betraying her like that. How did three years of her life just go to waste? Those words were the only reason she agreed to go to jail for him—how could he? “Gavin, I am going to report to the police that you were the one behind the wheels that night.” “I would not do that if I were you if you want to see your child ever again.” Lila gasped in shock; she could not believe that this man who had been madly in love with her was doing this to her. ”How could you?” “Just get lost, and you will be reunited with your child soon.” Lila stood outside the gate after Gvain and his new wife had thrown her out; she clutched her hand by her side and muttered to herself. “I am going to get my revenge.” Damien had been following the life of Lila since she ran down and killed his wife; he hated her without knowing her; he hated that she was given such a severe punishment; he hated that she was let go too early because of good behaviour. He swore that he had to get revenge no matter what. “I must get my revenge, Lila Carson.”

She had waited all afternoon for Rosa's call, but she did not get one, and since she did not have her number, she could not call to check up on the woman; her brother was being a pain and was not getting her calls. All she could do was pray that the woman was all right. If she had known that all she would have been doing all day was to lay down and not do anything, she would not have turned down Zach's invitation to lunch."Fake relationship?" He gasped as if she were making up things, and he did not know what she meant when they had agreed on it together. "What do you want?" she asked, ignoring his fake gasp and pressing her lip into a thin line. "I want to treat you to dinner, so what do you say?" he asked, and she shook her head. She most especially did not want to see him; his presence was too ov
"You look like someone who is in urgent need of soem boozze and hoe," Daniel said as he sat down to Gavin's table at the bar. Evangeline had finally taken off her yes from him, and he was all set to meet up with his friends regularly. If he was being honest, marrying her was not what he thought he would like. If he had gotten married to Lila instead, he was sure that he would have been free to do whatever he wanted, but with her, she was trying her best to cage him down. "Maybe that is what I need—some alcohol to numb my brain and a woman to make me feel like a man again." Gavin repied his eyes, scouring the dance floor of people moving to the beat. "Then I would take it upon myself to get that for you," Daniel offered."You do not have to do such a thing," Gavin told his friend before he got out of his seat. "So you are saying that you would rather look like a monk at a place like this?""Do you want me to turn up dead?" Gavin asked, taking up his glass and chuging it down. He was
"What are you doing today?" Oliver asked as his sister sat by the table for breakfast. "Thanks to you, I have to go to meet that old woman," Lila said, taking up the toast from the pile and taking a bite from it."Old woman?""The woman from the church," she said before taking another bite from it. "This is really good," she murmured with her mouth full. "Can you please for once at like your class?" he asked, rolling his eyes. She dropped the tray to the plate in front of her, crossed her legs under the table, and turned up her nose. "I am sorry, did you want me to act snobbish?" she asked, trying to fake an accent. "No, I do not want you to act snobbish or do a terrible accent impression. I want you not to talk while you have food in your mouth," he said. She wondered how hard it was for him to take a sarcastic joke; she had made sure to sound out her sarcasm so he could know what she meant, but suddenly he was dense. "I wonder how the company survives," she muttered before taki
Arietta and Lila had a nice lunch, and Lila was pretty sure that she would make the news. She saw Arietta out and then came up to meet with Zach. The truth was that they had nothing to catch up on, but she wanted to talk to him. He was supposed to be the normality she would have in recent times."So sorry I am late""It's no worry; a man has got to do what a man has to do," she said with a smile lingering on her face."Oh, I see you've got a sense of humour," he said, and she shook her head."Oh no, I would not dare call this that; I am just a girl," she said, raising her shoulders a bit."I would have invited you for a late lunch, but you just ate so..." he trailed off as his mind spun on activities that they could do together."Do you have to go back to work?" She asked, looking around. He was not popular like any of the other CEOs, which meant he was either an office worker or someone who owned a start-up. The restaurant was pretty much empty, as everyone who had come in to have an
Lila got out of the flashy car that her brother had asked her to take out. He told her that she would need to begin to establish herself in society so that people would become curious about her. The truth was that if she did it right, the price of their stocks could go up very drastically, and that was what he wanted. They were on top, but he desperately wanted to be in first position; that was the only way he could remain at the top.Lila walked slowly into the restaurant; she was supposed to meet with Arietta for lunch at a random diner that she was comfortable with, but Oliver had overturned all of her plans. When she woke up that morning, there was a makeup artist, a hairstylist, and a clothes stylist to help her get ready."All this fussy for lunch with your girlfriend?" At that point, Lila wished that she had agreed with Arietta's earlier suggestion of having lunch at home. That way, her brother would not make such a fuss about anything. She sighed when he did not say anything i
Lila could not believe that her brother had put her in the position and that she had agreed to go out with this woman she was meeting for the first time. Rosa had gone on and on about how much fun they were going to have, even though Lila highly doubted she could have fun with an old woman."Why the hell would hook me up with an old woman?" Lila asked as their car pulled away from the church, merging onto the road."Trust me, you would be grateful to me for doing this for you.""Grateful that you are linking me up with a strange old woman.""Trust me," Oliver said, and she sighed. "Moreover, Rosa is such a sweetheart; I am sure you would have a blast with her."Do I have a choice?" Lila groaned. Her mom suddenly came to mind; she had not seen her in ten years, and even now that she was back at the house, she was not going to see her as well. They knew that their mother was alive and well because she sent a letter to them with a postcard every month.It had been years since she got the
"Do you have to make me go to church?" Lila groaned as they sat in the car. She could see the top of the church come up in view. She closed her eyes and wondered why her brother was being so adamant about getting her to church. If he were a religious person, then he should remain that way; why did he need to force her to come as well?"Don't you want to repent of all your life errors?" he asked."With the way you speak, one would think you are the most holy man on earth," she murmured."Are you trying to say that I am not?""I do hope that was just some horribly bad joke," she said, turning to him with daggers in her eyes and shooting at him."I have a gift for you, and we can talk to them after the service.""Talk to them?" she asked, whipping her head back to him. "Are you going to make me do some silly things again? How many more things do I need to do for you to just let me be?" she murmured."When you came back to live here, you said you were going to do whatever I asked of you,
"You are very impossible!" Evangeline screamed as they walked into the house. She had been holding herself back all through the ride back home. She did not want to argue with him at the party or in front of the driver with them so she was going to do it at home."What are you on and on about?" Gavin asked, stopping in his tracks after hearing his wife scream at him as soon as the door closed."What am I on and on about?" she asked, dropping her bag to the floor in annoyance. Gavin could see that she was angry at him because she cherished her designers too much to ever think of dropping them on the bare floor. The next thing she did was let him know that she was really angry. She began taking off her jewellery.Evangeline was so angry at him; she had been by his side all night and just stepped away for a minute, and he ran back to his ex like he was a lost puppy being drawn to its owner. "How dare you try to humiliate me like that?" she asked, throwing down her golden earrings to the g
"You spent a very long time with that lady today," Joseph said as they sat down in the car. Joseph and Damien had come to this party together, but he had not seen his friend all night; every time he tried to approach him, he saw them together as if they were trying to tell the world that they were in a relationship."I only did what you asked me to do," Damien replied, closing his eyes and resting his head on the car headrest. "And her name is Lila, not that lady.""Oh, I see!" Joseph whispered. "You are on a first-name basis now and want to make me look like the bad person," he added."I am not trying to make you look like a bad person here; I just want you to get her name right.""Huh! What's the big deal about her name? You hate her," he murmured. He knew how much Damien could not stand the thought of this girl. She had killed his love, and now he had vowed to get back at her, but suddenly he wanted him to treat her with respect."Still, I feel like we should treat everyone like hu
"It makes no sense that you suddenly do not want to get married; we had agreed that we were going to have a wedding this year," Lila said as they drove out the party. "And the year is not even yet half done, so I do not know what the rush is about," Gavin said, rolling his eyes. They were just leaving the reception for a wedding. Gavin knew that Lila always got like this whenever they attended another wedding. She would calm down in a few hours; at least by the time they got home, she would be better. "Half the year? You haven't even asked me to be your wife yet," she scoffed as she crossed her hand over the seat belt. She hated having this conversation with him more than anything, and yet they had it at least once a month. He was constantly getting invited to weddings, and as if he were just trying his best to torture her, he took her to every single one of them, and in each one someone always asked her when she was getting married. She had been together with Gavin for six years
