Too late for a second chance (Lila and Dorian)

Moses added, "I looked into it. Mr. Morgan's trip today was a last-minute decision, strictly for Morgan Group's business. It had nothing to do with the Moore family.

"Faith stopped him this morning, caught Mr. Morgan on his way out, and used 'wanting to learn' as an excuse to get Mr. Morgan to take her along."

Lila chuckled. "Kieran isn't the type to be forced into anything he doesn't want."

Moses nodded in agreement. "But have you considered this? If the Moore family is determined to make this happen, they'll find a way. No matter how capable Mr. Morgan is, do you think he can dodge every trick they might pull?"

He looked at Lila through the window, his gaze serious. "If anything happens between them and Faith ends up pregnant, do you think the Moore family won't use that to threaten him? And when that happens, do you think you and Mr. Morgan can just go on living peacefully?"

Lila lowered the window a little more, just enough for a slender hand to fit through.

She studied Moses. He wasn't that old, but the way he spoke, and the way he looked at her, carried a maturity far beyond his years.

"You don't believe me?" he asked.

Seeing the calm, unwavering look in her eyes, Moses frowned slightly as if puzzled by her reaction.

Lila lowered her gaze, then let out a soft laugh. "I do. I believe you. Thanks for the warning. I'll go find Kieran in a bit. The Moore family won't get a chance to mess with my life. And thanks, if you ever need anything, you can come to me. I'll do what I can to help."

Moses paused for a second, then chuckled. "No need. I warned you because we're in the same boat. If that leads to us becoming friends, great. If not, at least I followed my conscience."

He gave her a small nod, then turned to move his car.
