Chapter 2: Vintage Morgan
"Hello big sister," the girl said.
Lila just looked at her before saying,"Sorry you must be mistaken, I don't have any siblings." She motioned Antonio to let the girl go and started towards Emily and Nikolas. The girl grabbed her arm and stopped her from moving. That one motion was enough to make everyone look their way. Two boys came over and watched the girl. Lila rolled her eyes and stopped Antonio from approaching. She looked dead into the girls eyes and said, "You've got my attention. What is it you need?"
"You're pretty damn dumb coming back here and thinking you're going to steal your father back," she spat. "There is no way in hell you are ever going to be part of the Corinthos family."
"That's enough Adella!" said a man whom she instinctively knew was Sonny Corinthos. "She's part of our family whether you like it or not." A blonde woman was clinging to his arm.
Lila couldn't help but snort. "God! Could you people be anymore dramatic? Did it ever occur to you that you are in no way ever going to be considered my family?" She turned a glare to the girl holding her arm. "Adella is it? How could I possibly come here to steal my father? In case you haven't noticed, you're at his funeral."
Adella glared and said, "You know as well as I do that Jason was not your biological father."
"Ya know I tried to be nice to you, but apparently that's not going to work." Lila twisted her arm out of the girl's grasp and grabbed her wrist. She steadily began to apply pressure that would eventually cause it to break. "Listen up, Jason Morgan was my father and as long as I live, another man will never take his place. You ever think that you can touch me again, it won't be Antonio you have to worry about, because I'll kill you myself."
"Hold up! Where do you get off threatening my daughter?" the blonde woman said shoving her way through the people that were pretending to be occupied. She started towards Lila until she turned her head and looked at the older women. The look on her face was vintage Jason Morgan and would stop a grown man his tracks. The woman stopped and grabbed onto the arm of the tall blonde boy who was observing the argument. "Michael." she gasped. "Do something."
He laughed a real laugh. "Why? The bitch is finally getting what's coming to her. I suggest you stay out of it."
Lila turned back to Adella and said, "You have such a problem with me, then stay away from me. I'd rather eat glass than acknowledge any of you as my family. You'll have to excuse me now, I've got to go bury my father." She abruptly let go of her arm and sent her back into the other boy, who she figured out was Morgan. She calmly walked away, Antonio by her side. Everyone waited until she was out of earshot before speaking.
"She looked just like Jason," Sonny said in disbelief.
"What do you expect? He was her father." Michael said coldly. He turned to Adella. "Ya know it was low even for you to confront her on the day she was burying her father. I'd be careful if I were you, you're beginning to sound more and more like Carly everyday." He gave her one last look and turned and walked away.
Morgan spoke for the first time, "She obviously doesn't want to be part of our family so maybe you should leave her alone." He said this to Sonny who was lost in thought.
"Never. She's my daughter and I'll make sure she realizes it."
"Can you believe the gall of those people? It was your father's funeral for God's sake!" Emily had been on a tirade since leaving the cemetary after the service.
"Emily honey calm down. It's over and done with and Lila won't have to deal with them once she goes back to San Francisco." Nikolas said trying to calm her down.
"Actually," Lila said."I'm not going back to San Francisco. At least not yet."
"Whoa you didn't discuss this with me!" Antonio exclaimed. "I was under the impression that you were going back with me."
"I had planned to, but now that I've met the Corinthos' I'm intrigued. I know you well enough to know that you'll be able to take care of the restaurant which is why I'm giving it to you."
"Lila, you can't just give me the restaurant."
"Sure I can. I have control over all my father's holdings that includes the restaurant. You helped him run it since it opened you'll do just fine on your own. Consider it an early wedding present for whenever you decide to settle down."
"You're not going to take no for an answer are you?" he asked.
"No I'm not, and you know how stubborn I can be, so just say thank you and leave it at that."
Antonio smiled,"Thank you."
"What are you going to do in Port Carles?" Nikolas asked.
"I suppose I'll take some college courses and get a job. Just normal eighteen year old stuff."
"Lila you hardly need a job with all the money you inherited," Emily pointed out.
"True, but what else would I do? Spending money isn't really my thing."
"Do what you want, just please splurge and get a nice safe place to stay will ya? I'd hate to toss and turn all night worrying that you're being murdered in some alley or worse," Nikolas said with a shudder.
Lila gave a smile that didn't quite reach her eyes, "You really shouldn't worry about me being murdered when I could just as easily be killed in a car accident."
