Finally, she is put in the spotlight when her elder sister, Lily, abandons her husband because he went blind, and she ( Lila) has to be the replacement by pretending to be her. Lila is not happy about this at first but steps up to the challenge as she is finally seen and relied on by those she cares about. Lucien, a year later regains his eyesight due to surgery. Lila, hopeful to be set free by the truth, gets disappointed when her sister Lily miraculously appears to take back the place she abandoned and the man Lila had grown to love. To make matters worse, Lila realizes she was just a pawn being used all along and overhears death plots about her unborn child. As the betrayal deepens, Lila tries reaching out to Lucien who treats her like a pest, hurting and giving her no choice but to disappear. Not too long after, Lucien figures out the truth and seeks out for her but isn't he too late? Will Lila ever want to let him back into her life again, especially when she is hell-bent on revenge?
View MoreCHAPTER FOUR.GOODBYE.LILA.I covered my mouth, my eyes widening in disbelief as I overheard my mother telling my sister to drug my meals so I could lose the baby.'How could she?' I pondered, going out of breath. I knew she always hated me but I never thought it would be to this extent.I needed to get out of here. Now and fast, or risk losing my life too. Quietly, I tiptoed away from the corner I was hiding in, in search of Olivia.She needed to hear this. I dashed to her office, and thankfully, she was in there now, pacing around, her hand under her chin like she was deep in thought."Olivia". I called, rushing to hug her immediately. She was taken aback, but wrapped her hands around me regardless, stroking my back tenderly.How I needed this. Tears threatened to fall from my eyes and I sniffled."I am so sorry Lila. It's so heartbreaking to see how cruel these people are to you. Are you alright?" She asked, disengaging from our hug, to cup my face in her hands.I shook my head si
CHAPTER THREE.ITTERASHAI.LUCIEN.'Why did my heart clench tightly when I saw the look of hurt flash over her expression?' I pondered, walking down the hallway, lost in thoughts.It seems like I was missing something. I should be happy and relieved. I mean, finally, I get to see again and be with the woman I love fully, but why was my heart feeling empty?"Lucien". I heard Lily squeak and before I could turn around, she already flung herself on my back, clutching me tightly, her hands wrapped around my waist."I have missed you so much. It felt like ages when I had to stay away from you". She said, placing a kiss on my neck and I shook.That wasn't what caused my reaction. It was what she said. Ages? We were barely away from one another even during my surgery. Yes, I had a bandage wrapped around my eyes, but I could always feel her hands holding mine."We were continuously together. What do you mean, ages?" I questioned, holding my breath for her response. I noticed her hands holding
CHAPTER TWO.GET RID OF.LILA."What?" Lily shrieked, getting away from Lucien immediately, whose eyes widened from shock."How come, sis?" He inquired with care and that did it. I burst into tears immediately. Clenching my fists, while trying to fight back the stinging agony of rejection I was feeling in my heart.'Was this how little I mattered, could he not figure things out?'Olivia immediately dashed to my side and began stroking my hair softly as she looked at me. I noticed her eyes glistened with tears as she whispered."It's alright. Let it all out". Her words twisted my heart, and I cried so much, startling everyone, including the doctor who was scratching his hair nervously."Why are you crying sis? I am so sorry. I didn't mean to up....". Lucien tried saying but my sister butt in."You did nothing Lucien. Perhaps the father of the child abandoned her or something".To think she was right made my chest hurt more, as I tried to breathe. Everywhere was suddenly suffocating.Th
CHAPTER ONE.PREGNANT.Lila."Do you think I can go in to see him now?" I asked my best friend, Olivia, who worked as a therapist in the hospital.Currently, we were both in her office waiting for my husband whose bandages were to be removed today. He had his eye surgery two or three days ago."Sure, they should be done by now". Olivia, responded, her head buried in some sort of counseling book.My heart gave a kick start out of excitement, Joy radiating through my chest as my face crumbled into a smile. At the same time, I began breathing heavily, my palms growing sweaty."Someone is anxious". Olivia teased with a smirk, as she peeped at me from her book. I shrugged, not denying her claim."You can't blame me. For a year now, he thought I was his Lily. How do you think he is going to react when he finds out he married me instead?" I questioned, feeling a lump in my throat."Oh please! You did him a favor when that bitch ran, so please get a grip of yourself and go claim your man". Ol
