‘She’s a lesbian these days and dating that transgirl from the Russ family. What’s his new name again… Yes, Celine…” It seemed she strongly disapproved. A smile appeared on my lips at that

information, good for her. Nat had been in the closet for so long. Cruz is now Celine. I smiled.

That boy is an embarrassment to his family, and now he wants to put our family in humiliation by dating my sweet Nat. I won’t allow he to date that boy,”

You mean girl. She’s a SHE now, Shawna, and it’s okay. Respect people’s sexual orientation,” I hated how she discriminated against people based on their sexual orientation.

“What happened to her? I raised her well and with so much love. I will fix her,” she murmured. Shawna was serious now.

Nat doesn’t need to be fixed,” I told her. ” And why don’t you have any food in here? G od. I want a sandwich!” I hadn’t eaten since last night. I only took bites of my food under Love’s scrutiny.

I grabbed my car keys and went out of the house. I needed to go grocery shopping. Shawna couldn’t stop nitpicking about how unfair life had been as I drove to the nearest grocery store and picked out

what we needed in the house.

Getting back home, I immediately started to clean. I hated staying in an untidy environment. Shawna was still da mn talking. She was acting like we’ve always been close when she used to hate me.

When I was done cleaning, I prepared a hot meal and set it up at the table.

Without waiting for anyone, I started to eat slowly, my mind going to

Jace.

‘I miss him,’ my inner lycan whined.

‘I do too,’ I sighed, pondering whether to pick up his calls, or not. I knew he must be worried sick about me. I decided to pick up when my father walked into the room. He was too enthusiastic to see me, and I wondered why. What could he be planning now?

My father was the first to walk into the dining room. I could smell the

alcohol on his breath.

My child! I missed you so much. You hate your papa these days,” he said, spreading his arms. I sighed as I forced myself out of the chair to hug him. He held me dearly, kissing my hair.

“I missed you!” he pinched my cheeks like he did when I was a child. He was delighted to see me. Nat came too. My half-sister was giving me attitude but soon lightened up and hugged me.

After dinner, I told them what happened between Jace and me. They were disappointed, especially Nat since she loved him. However, Dad and Shawna were only disappointed because he was crazy rich.

You can’t let a man like him go because he made a mistake, Lila,” Shawna said. ” To err is human, to forgiveness is divine,”

It stopped being a mistake when he kept going to her and didn’t speak to me about forgiveness,” I hissed.

Okay, how do I put this? Jace Bailon is a wealthy and powerful man He’s good-looking and chose you as his mate. You need to be grateful and stick it out. Do you know how many women will kill to b in your position?”

I’m not getting back with him,” I declared. I wasn’t ready to be with him or see him. I came here to be away from him. Out of sight out of mind, but it seemed these two would make it difficult.

It’s not about money, Mom. He hurt her!” Nat snapped at her mother’s incessant rant about how good of a man Jace was. He was

good, and I knew it, however, he cheated on me. Not once or twice but

several times.

“Oh, don’t backchat. I’m still angry at you, you little brat!” Shawna hissed at Nat. I sighed, already men tally exhausted. I looked at Dad, but he had a smirk on his lips that made me worry.

Enough!” Dad growled, and the two bickering stopped instantly. ” My love, Shawna. If my daughter says he doesn’t want to be with a cheating bas ta rd let’s not force her. Has Jace Bailon helped me many times? Yes. He even made the recent huge investment in the factory, but he betrayed her, and I can’t force dear Lilac to stay with him because of money,” he said. I was surprised he was being supportive.

“Thank you, Dad,” I said until his words registered,” What do you

mean he gives you money?” I glared at my father. He nervously touched his beard, unable to meet my eyes.

“Yes, he even paid for this house and both our cars,” Added Shawna, touching her diamond bracelet. He got her that too! My family had no

shame whatsoever!

“You’re all shameless!” I spat.

“I’m sorry, daughter, but we have been having it rough, and I threw my pride off the window long ago. Jace Bailon was always willing to help us, and I accepted his help,” Dad told me shamelessly. I wondered why Jace didn’t tell me about all this. I felt embarrassed. What mus he have been thinking of me? Oh, goddess.

Dad,” I called softly, something coming to my mind,” When I was at the university who paid for my tuition?”

He faced the floor. This time his gaze was filled with shame. I shook my head.

‘It was Jace. He told us not to tell you,” He answered quietly.

Oh goddess,” I whispered on the verge of tears. Jace did everything for me and didn’t even want acknowledgment of it. He took care of me since I was sixteen years old.

Is that why you allowed me to stay with him because he said he’ll take care of me financially?” I asked. I wanted to stay with Jace, but they couldn’t let me and made things difficult.

“Yes,” Shawna answered, and I got up. I went straight to my old room and threw myself on the bed.

My phone rang continuously, it was Jace calling me, but I refused to answer. I didn’t know what to say to him. I cried myself to sleep. I woke up when I felt sunshine on my skin, and I fluttered my eyes open. I sat up and stretched my limbs only to gasp when I saw who was sitting in my love seat, watching me. Jace.

“Why are you here?” I asked, bored as I got out of bed. I felt arms around my waist, and a kiss on my shoulder.

“We have to talk,” he said, and I nodded. We had to talk.

I was watching him. Luis Vanders was a gorgeous man-my one- night stand. A smile curled on my lips. At the table, he tried to ignore meeting my eyes, and I thought it was cute. When our gaze

accidentally locked, his eyes conveyed no emotions. Why was he like that?

Maleck, the ba stard was here. I avoided making any conversation or being polite with him after what he put my family through over the years. I would have punched him in the face at first sight, but I was civil because they were children present. I didn’t tolerate anyone messing with my family.

After brunch, we were all interacting, and I was pleased to see Ellis and Love talking and laughing with each other. I wish they could get back together, but they both had ticks they needed to rid themselves

of.

After doing the activities CC planned, we went for a snack break,

there, I caught a glance of Luis, and was excited. My stomach churning. He must have felt my gaze on him because he looked my way. He scowled while I smiled at him. I was attracted to him, and wanted a repeat of what happened on the drunk one-night f uck. I noticed he and Love were close, even now, they were chatting. I

approached them, but as soon as Luis saw me approach, he turned

and left.
