"I am so happy to see you here" she said going to hug him. He opened his arms to her and she pushed herself wrapping her arms around his body. He held her and after a while she pulled away and went back to get chocolates, she picked it up and I inspected it with a big smile across her face.

"You seem glad"

"You know me so well, you even remembered my favourite box of chocolates"

"How can I ever forget what the lady of the house likes?" Smith asked.

Lila took it from him and opened it. She took one out and popped it in her mouth allowing the flavor to fill her mouth.

"This is exactly what I needed" Lila said closing her eyes as she savoured the taste. "So divine" she added in a murmur.

"Your mom wishes she could be here today but she has a lot going on with her" Smith said.

"She sure does" Lila would have wished that he did not bring her up now. If her assistant could make it out here what could she be busy with that she could not spare a few hours.

    "Your date is here," Smith announced after a while."My date is here? He is an hour late." After waiting for about thirty minutes, Lila had been so irritated, and she gave Smith one of two options: either he drove her there by himself or he allowed her to go up and change her clothes. Smith had been able to convince her to stay, and at that time all he said was "Ten more minutes." He had been worried to the point that he decided to go out and make calls to figure out what was going on. Calling Oliver was a waste of time because he did not know anything. "I do not want to go with him; can you just drive me?" "Ms Lila I wish I could, but I am sure your brother is trying to do something with the situation here, and that is the reason he is asking you to come with him," Smith explained. "I know that he has a plan, but I do not care about his plan now. All I care about is showing up at the event venue; everyone must have been bored out of their minds waiting." Lila stood up and began t

    "What?" she asked, raising her eyebrow at him while trying her best not to act as if his compliment had done something to her. "What? He asked because he knew that she should have melted at her age; she looked good. "I said that you look absolutely beautiful tonight," he said, and at this point, she had found a way to diminish his confidence. He was unsure of what he was supposed to say or do, so he blinked, and she shrugged. "Did you think complimenting me would make the fact that you came late without any explanation go away?" she asked. "Of course not; I was just stating an observation that I expected." "Well, good. Thank you so much for the compliment. Do you want to explain yourself now?" she asked. Damien took a deep breath and wondered if his friend's plan was ever going to work. Sam had mentioned the possibility that Lila was a different breed of woman; many women might be less hostile to you if you compliment her, but she was definitely not in that category. "Are you go

    "Hi, Ms. Carson." Lila looked around her to see who this strange man standing in front of her was. He stretched his hand for a handshake, and her eyebrow knitted in confusion. "Who are you?" "Oh my bad, I should have introduced myself first," Sam said, retracing his hand. "I am Sam Damien's best friend." "He has friends?" Lila was confused. "What is that supposed to mean?""I never expected you to have friends given your picky personality, but it seems like you do have friends, which is weird," Lila let out. "Oh my gosh, you are spot on. I wonder why I stayed friends with him all this while." "You must have been doing such hard work on your part.""It has truly been hard work." Lila stretched forth her hand to him this time, and he took it, shaking it gently before letting it go. "I am Lila," she said. "I know, but what I did not know was how fun and beautiful you are." "You think I am beautiful?" She gasped, acting as if none had told her anything.Damien opened his mouth to

    Arietta clutched Oliver's hand as they walked into the hall. "You seem nervous; it is not your first time attending events like this," Oliver said. Arietta raised her head to look at him. He sounded nervous, but he refused to even look at her; she rolled her eyes and shook her head. "I am not nervous; I am just a bit worried about Lila. Do you think the bullying would come to an end if she gets introduced as a Carson?" she said. She was truly worried for Lila, but she was sure that many people would try to get to her good graces when they knew who she was. She was more concerned about the plan she had made with Lila; her mind was spinning as she thought about the feasibility of the plan. "I hope it does, but we can never tell what these people are capable of," Oliver said. "But when they bully her now, they very well know what they are getting into," he added, and she nodded. "Well, here goes nothing," Arietta murmured as they stood in front of the big door that was going to lead th

    Arietta entered the bathroom, and luckily for her since there were not a lot of people around yet, the bathroom was empty, but she checked all of the stalls just to be sure. She stood in front of the mirror, washed her hands, and retouched her face makeup before washing her hands and rubbing on her hand cream. "I cannot believe I am doing this; I do not know how to flirt; I cannot remember the last time I flirted," she groaned, staring at herself. She turned out of the bathroom and met Evangeline on her way out. "Are you not going to say hi?" Evangeline asked, entering the bathroom, taking up a tissue paper, and dabbing her lips. Arietta looked her up and down and wondered why she was so overdressed for an event like this. She was not a guest of honour and most likely would not have gotten an invite if Lila had not pulled any strings to get them invited. They would have gotten to know the same time that every other person was getting to know, but Lila said she needed to see the exp

    "See you both inside," Sam jumped out of the car immediately after they got to the venue. "Are you going in alone?" Lila asked before he could close the door, and he nodded. "Why don't you come in with us?""And risk being uncool and looking like the third wheel?" He asked and shook his head. I will never let this happen to me.""But..""Allow him to make his decisions; he is big enough for that." Damien cut her off before she could make any more suggestions. "See you," Sam said and was out of the like a flash. "Aren't we going in?" she asked when they stayed in the car for a few more minutes after Sam had gone in. The driver had left the car running. "In a moment," he murmured. She looked at him; his head was resting on the headrest with his eyes closed. She watched closely as she saw him grimace and his facial expression tighten. Adam's apple was moving rapidly, and she wanted to ask him if he was afraid or scared but just decided against it. "Let us go," he said after a few minu

    "May I please have the attention of everyone, please?" Oliver said as the noise in the crowd fizzled out, the classical music that had been blasting in the speakers too had gone to the barest minimum. "Don't you think we are too forward? It seems like we are trying to climb the stage," Gasvin said in a whisper, leaning into Evangeline, who had dragged him to the front of the hall. "If we stood here, we would be the first people she sees, and we might even make connections with her faster," Evangeline replied. She could not categorize herself as a hardworking person, but anything she put her mind to, she was extremely good at it, and this was one of those things she was not ready to let go of. "Are you sure that is a good idea? Are you sure it does to make us desperate?" "I think Ms. Carson would appreciate us coming forward to honour her," Evangeline said. She seemed to have it all figured out. "I will only listen to you because it seems that you know exactly what it is that you

    Lila discovered that she had underestimated what Gavin could do; she knew that if she did not take care of him in front of everyone else in that environment, he was going to GP around, ruining her and that of her family. She pressed her lips together and watched him scream at the top of his voice. "She is an ex-convict," she knew that he was going to do something like that after she saw him walk up to the front. She was grateful that he showed how much of a scumbag he was because every single shred of feelings left in her body seemed to be flushed off immediately. She kept a smile on her face. "We need to say something about this," Oliver whispered to her with his head tilted. "What can I say?" She asked, biting the corner of her lip. The security guard had already reached the front of the stage and was ready to drag him away. "Wait!" Lila said stopping them; she was going to have him thrown out, but first, she had to put him in his place. Gavin looked up, and somehow he expected

    It took a while before the officers came to release all civilians from the room they kept them safe, the criminal was found and even transferred from their station to a more secure one. It was then that Lila knew that her mother and brother were standing outside the entire time. By the time they came in, Kevin was already speaking with the officers about how he would like to keep Gavin in there until there was evidence.Tessa did not pay any heed to Lila but walked straight to Kevin, who was arguing with the officer he was speaking to. "Mr. Voss," Tessa said as she approached him. Kevin turned around to see her and smiled with the base of his lips."Mrs. Carson, it has really been a while since I saw you," he said, turning to her."Can we talk a bit?" Tessa asked and he nodded. "Can we have some privacy, please?" she asked the officer who was still standing by them. The man looked flustered but his expression changed to gratitude because he was happy that he had found a way to escape.

    Gray nodded and then turned to Damien. "I have something to report sir"Damien looked up from his phone, he could not understand Lila's response for some reason it felt as if she was suddenly closed off. He did not understand how he was able to feel it but the feeling was there and he could not shake it off."Go on" Damien nodded switching off the screen and putting the phone on the table. "What is it?" he asked when it felt as if Gray was trying his best to gather his thoughts together."You asked me to keep tabs on Mr Voss and his assistant just reported that they are currently at the station but are not being allowed in because a serial killer broke lose in the statin""So he can't..." Damien trailed off with his eyebrows knitting together, he looked to Gray hoping that he would tell him that it was not what he thought and all was well. "Is Lila?""Yes sir, she was already in the station before the incident"Damien stood up, his heart broke at the news. He had been against her goin

    Lila stared at the screen; she knew that she should not pick up but her heart was doing a number on her. She pressed her lips together and watched the phone screen go off after the call ended but almost immediately his call came in again. How was she supposed to ignore his calls after what happened between them last night?The call stopped and then a message came in. "Are you busy? Should I call later? Is now not a good time?" The messages poured in and she read them in her head; she could hear him saying it to her.She slid her hand across to open up the chat; all she wanted to do was to tell him about what was going on but how could she? She took a deep breath and replied, "Yes, I am; let us talk later." She pulled together all of her willpower and sent the message out. It was lacking but that will do for now.She knew he would be confused with her reply and would want to reach out again; she heard commotion outside but she thought nothing of it; after all, this was a station and it

    As soon as Lila stepped outside, she felt the need to call Damien. She did not know why but she felt that as soon as he heard his voice, all of the worries and fear in her heart would automatically disappear. She walked towards the toilet. The first thing she did was check through the entire bathroom stall to ensure that no one was there before she suppressed all she was feeling within her. She called her mom first even though her finger itched to call Damien instead. "What do you mean he knows?" "I mean that Gavin seems suspicious of me and thinks he is getting a hunch that we are trying to play him," Lila explained, even though she knew that her mother understood what she meant. "I understand that I am asking why you are calling me instead of doing something about it." Her mother's words shocked her. "You want me to think about something on my own and do it?" she asked, biting her lips afterwards because stringing the words together in her mind did not make sense and it even ma

    "Lila, you must think that I am a fool.""Gavin Holt, do you want me to call you a lawyer or do you want to sit there and accuse me of something so absurd that I have no idea?" she asked. Gavin was sure of what he had put together in his mind but seeing how she was acting, his thoughts began to jumble up in his mind. It was as if all of his thinking was becoming distorted and for what reason? It made no sense to him at all."Are you saying you did not go to Kevin with the evidence from that day?" "Why would I go to him with it? I already told you that we are going to get married and be together for a long time so if I want that to happen, why would I go to him with the evidence and make you get locked up in here?" she asked. She was sure that sitting in the cell with nothing but thoughts in his mind had made him overthink and, in some way, figure out what was going on but she had to stay calm and assure him that nothing was wrong, especially from her end. "Are you just a pawn in t

    Gavin felt agitated in the cell; it was as if something was off with the situation. Why would Kevin suddenly want to put him in jail? Something must have triggered him to do that. Suddenly it began to make sense to him that he was getting played by the Carson's. He knew in that instant that all of this was to put him in jail. They could have tucked him away a long time ago but the fear, especially from Lila, had been what he would do to their son. He could not do anything to harm his son but he would rather be safe so he used his life as a threat to her and surely enough, she fell for it because she was the type who fell for things like that so easily. He had asked Lila if she was going to send a lawyer and she told him that she would but now he knew that she would send him the worst, the kind that would make him end up in jail for a long time. He racked his mind trying to figure out who he would call to help him out but no one came to mind. He realised that he was all alone; they

    Damien held her face with a smile on his face as he pulled her closer. She had never seen him like this and she very much liked this version of him. She held his face too, striking her finger over his face. He kissed her with so much passion that she felt heat even in places she was not supposed to. She wondered how she made him feel as well. Was he getting tortured by him? "Want to get out of here?" he murmured again over her lips. She wondered how her mind was able to place what he meant."I want to but Jason is up there and he would be searching for me first thing in the morning as soon as he woke up," Lila replied. She was surprised at how much willpower she had grown for herself over the year. It was kind of great because she knew that if she was the same person from three years ago, she would have gone with him. He frowned because he did not like her answer. "Moreover, it is our day one and we have such a long time to go so why don't we take it slow and easy?" She asked, rubbi

    Damien was shocked but he did not lean away; he held the side of her face and took control almost immediately. Lila snapped back to her senses and wanted to pull away but Damien did not seem like he was that interested in pulling away. Even though her brain was telling her how bad this was for reasons she could not tell, her heart was thanking her. It was as if someone rubbed an ointment onto her skin. It was so soothing that she wanted to bask in the feeling forever. She could feel the eyes of the security judging her but at that moment she could care less. She melted back into the kiss and wrapped her hand over his neck. She wanted to draw closer to him but the centre console between them was making it harder for her. She was thinking of climbing onto his lap but she was already giving the man outside a show; it would be better if she just behaved properly.After a while, Damien pulled away breathlessly; she tried to look at her eyes but she was not sure what she was seeing.

    Lila stared ahead of her into the dark outside as his image became sharper in her eyes. She wanted to speak, but her mind was not answering as it should. She heard him saying something, but she could not string together the words to make a simple statement. "Lila, are you listening to me?" he said when he waited for her response, and she responded with silence. "Hmm?" She jerked back to reality when she heard her name. For some reason, his actions touched her greatly. It was as if someone finally did for her what no other person could. "I said..." he trailed off when he saw her turn and walk away. He was a bit startled and wondered why she was acting that way. "Lila? Where are you going?" he asked but her puffing was the only thing that responded. He knew that she was coming out and it was obvious she did not hear anything he said earlier because he told her that he just wanted to make sure she was okay and nothing more. The door opened and Lila crept out; she walked to the gate an
