-Beckett-
Lila was my sister, and I might not show it or say it, but I care for her. God knows how much I love her, but she’s c voice… fucking hell, I don’t have my phone pressed in my ears anymore, but I feel like my eardrums are gonna bu
all her outbursts.
“Why is he suddenly targeting me?!” Lila’s hysteria was spiraling through the line. “I have my whole life ahead of n Beckett! They can’t arrange my future for me,” her voice cracked at that last line, and I felt my chest tightening.
My sister is not like me. I was hard–headed, strong–willed, and I could live without my family’s money or connectic however, is a different topic. She lived for luxury, and she enjoyed the privilege of being a Maldini.
If Grandpa told her she would lose her inheritance, her allowance, her cards, and her car, she would lose her mind. imagine her already crying in one corner, thinking her world was crushing down on her.
“Lila, would you calm the fuck down and tell me everything without shattering my eardrums?” I used my big brothe one that used to calm her when she was just a little girl.
I know Lila was not a little girl anymore, and we hadn’t talked like this in a long while, but I was surprised that it work
Her heavy breaths and exhale echoed through the line. I can hear her calming herself down before she spoke igan
“I heard Mom and Kurtis talking.” Now that she was calm, I heard the low hum of the engine and the mufted worms
“Are you driving, Lila?” I had to make sure. The last thing I needed was Lila getting into an accident or worse hitting someone.
“Yes!” she groaned, annoyed with my question.
“Park the car, right fucking now,” I put weight in my words.
“What? That’s not-” she was being stubborn.
“Now Lala, before you hurt yourself or someone, or I’m dropping this call “I made sure day Ph knew I was pushing through with my threat.
“C” Fine” she snapped, and it took a few seconds before I finally host happy?

Chapter 216
My poor sister was oblivious to what our grandfather was like. He’s old school, and his mind is not open to c know if that’s how he married Nana, but he shouldn’t force that on us.
“I can’t believe Morn would do that to me.” Lilas voice broke at that thought.
“That’s not Mom’s doing, Lila.” I sighed. Letty walked towards me, and she set her chifr on my thighs. I thank how worried I am for my sister. I placed my hand on top of Letty’s head and pet her like I would Maple Ston
“Then whose decision is that? Nana?” Lila was looking for someone to blame, and she was pointing in all the w directions.
“No. Do you think Nana can do that to you?” I threw that question back at her. Sure, Nana was all sorts of crazy us with all of her heart, especially Lila. She’s the only granddaughter she has, and I know she would never forc that would ruin her happiness. She even allowed me to pursue my baseball career instead of focusing on the fa business.
“This is Grandpa’s doing.” I revealed, disappointed that instead of undoing what he did to me, he just passed on to my little sister.
‘Grandpa?” Lila asked. “Why would he care about us? He’d been gone for a long time.”
As I said, my sister was oblivious to what was truly happening around her.
‘It’s him, Lila, so don’t get mad at Mom or Nana,” I sighed, allowing Letty’s soft and shiny fur to calm my worries
‘Why do you sound so sure?” Lila was still skeptical, so I decided it was high time she learned why I wanted out of family.
‘Why do you think I left, Lila?” I said. “Why do you think Nana was okay with me stepping down from the fails t
‘He… You?” Lila stuttered, disbelief palpable in her tone. “He did this to you as well?”
[ hummed, tasting vile as I remembered the day I learned about his deal with the Monroes It was Trak. and he decided I would marry a girl I hadn’t met before. Nana didn’t stop me from leaving the
behind. She just made me promise to let them still be a part of my hfe.
‘Yeah,” I hummed. “I was the firstborn son, and I was supposed to inherit most of the family ye my claim to the family’s money.”
Understanding dawned on Lila. “And now it comes down to Cole and ine There was a fan shaved tha that she was already seeing the bigger scheme in this arranged marriage

A that time, never really thought about how it would affect Lila. I mean, I could have given my share to Cole, but i chose to give it to Lila because she’s my sister. I did it with good intentions, but I think I may have punished my sister because of
that.
“Beckett… god!” she sighed, as though her bones turned jelly, and knowing this drained all the energy out of her body. “Why… why would you do that to me?” Her voice sounded small, pained, and distressed, and I hate that I did this to my sister. “You giving me your share is so… so stupid!”
I pursed my lips. Her words struck me in the core because that’s just what it was. Pure stupidity and recklessness.
‘I didn’t think this would happen, Lila,” I said. I wasn’t making an excuse. Just stating what was running through my head a hat time. “You are my sister, and I would give you my share first before giving it to Cole.”
Her response was instant. “And look what happened,” he sighed. She sounded so defeated, and I hate that I did this to her. don’t need a lot of money, Beckett, I know I look like I can’t live without expensive and nice things…” she trailed off. probably realizing how true those words are.
Are you sure about that?” I shot back, daring her to lie to me. We both know she can’t live a simple life. Her credit card lar s a hundred thousand dollars, and she can max it out in one freaking day.
she chose her words. “I know I can’t, but you should have told me.”
sighed. “I know, Sis. I’m sorry. I will make this right.”
›he huffed. “How can you make it right, huh? So this was the reason you married Andi in secret. You didn’t want Granddad
o know.”
Yes,” I admitted. It was one of the many reasons, but to be honest with myself, I really want to keep And to myself Resipit can’t ruin what they don’t know. “But I never thought he would turn his attention to you. He hasn’t looked your way
ears, Lila.”
That’s because I’m not old enough to marry Beckett. Now I’m freaking old enough with your inheritance Ugh… this is so messed up.”
We can still find a way around this. I found one,” I told her, because I would do everything in my power p
he was in this situation because of me.
How are you gonna do that?” I hate how she sounded so helpless. “They are gonna announce the wa That would ruin my entire life.” Her voice became muffled. She must have buried her face in her hands
What the hell?” I blurted out “Are you sure about that?”
The public didn’t know about Sophie and me so I managed to find a way out of i. But if the com wedding, it would ruin Lala’s future I would affect our families and all our businessey they broke up the subti aughing stock and talk of the town Lila, most of all
