All Chapters of Legacy of Love and War: Chapter 21 - Chapter 30

Lila let out a long sigh from her mouth as she threw her head back and closed her eyes. She could not believe that her family was so interested in trying to run her life the way they pleased. First her family and now the Beaumont family, she had to listen to her father and even to Daniel. She was sure they did not even care about her and all they cared about was just getting her to do whatever it took to make them richer.Levi came back in and stood beside her; she did not open her eyes to see but his scent was so strong that it filled her entire nose. "Lila," he began and that made her jump out of the chair. She wished that he would not speak to her and just let her. She had hoped that he would say something when his father was making decisions on their behalf but it was obvious that he could not challenge his father either."Oh so now you want to talk?" She said with her hand on her waist and her eyes narrowed at him. She could not believe he had stood quietly there while their pres

Lila felt her face get hotter and her stomach twirl; she would have never thought that her first kiss would be stolen in this way and in front of all the people with their flashing lights and camera shutters directed at them. Levi finally pulled away and turned to the press. She forced a smile to climb her face. She knew that Levi had only kissed her because they had to put on a show for the paparazzi and both families would be elated to see that they were handling the situation well. Now nobody could call the marriage a lie.They moved from the airport to the hotel suite that Daniel had prepared for them, Lila felt the need to act as if she were on vacation after all; everything had been prepared for them, and all she needed to do was settle in.As they walked to the room, Lila felt relieved to know that other people were on the island with them; she wondered what Levi felt seeing other people walk the island too. The staff finally helped them roll their bags in and after getting tip

"Are you okay?" She could tell that he was having a nightmare with the way he jolted out of sleep and sat up. He stared at her for a while before throwing off the covers on his body. He picked up the phone on the nightstand before making his way out of the room. "Where are you going?" she asked but he did not stop or think of responding to her. She watched him leave.She was worried if he was okay because it seemed like the nightmare was something intense. She decided that she would stay awake till he came back just to be sure that he was fine. She only realised how long she had been awake when the sun peeked through the blinds on the window. She got out of bed, and heading into the bathroom, she washed her face before coming back to bed. She sat at the edge of the bed wondering if he was doing okay and not just roaming about the resort aimlessly. She wondered if he was embarrassed to come back but she was more worried with time passing.She thought of calling him but she did not know

She knew that with his reaction, she could not stand being in the room with him. She was just trying to be kind, and it landed her with a slap on the face. It was not her business to think about what was happening to him, this was his life and she did not care how he chose to live it.There were a lot of things to see and do in the resort and having a me time did not seem too bad at all. She wandered off hoping that by the time it was time to get back to her room, she would not have missed her way. She could not shake off the feeling of being watched by someone. It was as if the person was following her every move. She decided to try to corner the person and see what they wanted.If it was paparazzi as Levi had said then they should take the pictures and go away, as if they had not taken enough already. She pretended to turn into a corner hoping that she was right and the person following her would do so that way she could hold them and see who they were and what they wanted.As soon

"I am definitely going to be in big trouble," Lila let out as she watched the man who had just taken a picture of her and Jasmine in a heated argument run away. "My parents are going to kill me and talk about how I keep trying my best to ruin whatever they do," she murmured as she began to pace the floor. "Oh my goodness! What on earth have I done? What have I done?" she did not like the way things had played out.Before she could open her mouth to say anything else, she watched Levi go in the direction the man had gone, without thinking she followed behind him. She did not know what they were doing but she knew that they had to get the man to delete everything he had taken, even if it meant bribing him. She could not allow her name to pop up on the news for something negative again. Her parents and his parents were going to hound them both for trying their best in just one week of marriage to destroy both names all at once.She ran a few more meters and then stopped at the sight of L
