The Double Life of My Billionaire Husband

“Lila, I’ll inform your parents in advance that you will be returning. You can pack up your things and go to them. Take away all your belongings now.” He paused for a few seconds and glanced at Johanna. Then he continued, “We will also give you some money so that you can live on with your life.”

“No, Dad, Mom, I don’t want…” Lila wiped her tears away. Her eyes had begun to sting. She collapsed on the carpet and refused to leave. Leaving the family would mean that she would no longer be a White family member.

All she had, the extravagant, rich life, the money, and the social status, would all fall away.

Lila refused to move and continued to cry her eyes out. Beal sighed heavily.

“I know it will be hard for you to take this. We will give you three days to pack up everything. But we don’t want to see you around here after that.”

Johanna was afraid that she would soften if she stayed at this piteous scene. She gathered her coat up and got to her feet. She instructed a nearby servant who was busy cleaning, “Go to Lila’s room and pack up her things for her. If there is just too much jewelry and clothing to pack, call the moving company. There’s no need to prepare lunch. We will be eating out.”

Hearing what Johanna said, Lila became more distressed than ever. She stood up and rushed to Johanna. She held her leg and said, “Mom, I don’t want to be separated from you. I have never left your side since the day I was born. You can’t do this to me!”

Johanna pursed her lips. She squatted down and wiped the tears off Lila’s face with her fingers. Her voice was as gentle and kind as it had been when Lila was a child, but there was only coldness in her eyes.

“Lila, don’t embarrass yourself anymore. You used to be the daughter of the White family. You should keep your dignity when you leave. There are consequences that you must bear for your decisions. You can’t stay a child forever.”

When Lila heard her words, she was utterly flummoxed for a while. She was so out of it that she didn’t know when but Johanna and Beal had left. She watched their receding figures, covered her face and burst into a fresh onslaught of tears.
