Hello all my precious readers! Thank-you so much for all the reviews I recieved for the last two chapters. I'm glad you guys liked my interpretation of S&C's marriage. Don't worry, all the loose ends from the last few chapters will be resolved soon, including why Cam doesn't see Sarah, and why Sonny is still married to Carly and raising Alcazar's daughter. Since I didn't get a whole lot of votes for Lila's boyfriend, I'll do a triangle then ask again. For now, here's the next chapter.

Chapter 9: Watch Dogs

Lila sat in Kelly's waiting for Morgan. An uncomfortable silence had settled over the kitchen after Kristina's announcement. It had finally been broken when Luke came in banging his cane and demanding his women hop to making his breakfast. She'd excused herself as quickly as possible. She wasn't sure about the whole Cam situation. A dead-beat father was the worst thing in her book, but her father had raised her to be objective. There were two sides to every story. She was brought out of her silent reverie by a waitress handing her a note. It was from Morgan-

Knew you'd come. Sorry I can't make it I had to go out of town unexpectedly. I'll call you when I'm back. Remember, it takes more energy to be angry than it does to reschedule.

Lila got up and turned to leave when she saw the one person who could make her day worse. Adella. "Look psycho bitch I'm not in the mood so just back the hell off and I won't beat the hell out of you," Lila swept past the younger woman without a second glance. She was down by the docks when she realized someone was following her. She quickly rounded a corner and ducked out of sight. She saw a tall bulky man pass close by. She kicked him in the knee to make him go down. He was on his knees when she pulled out the switchblade she always kept with her and held it to his neck. "Why are you following me?"

"I was hired to," he rasped out.

"By who?" He didn't answer so she pressed the blade harder against his throat drawing blood. "Who?"

"Sonny Corinthos."

She rolled her eyes and hit him hard in the back of his head the way her dad had showed her when she was seven. He passed out on the ground and she took off for her destination.

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sonny and Carly were having their third fight of the day when Lila stormed in. They both turned to look at her. "What the hell are you doing in my house?" Carly shrieked.

Lila gave her a scathing look and then turned towards Sonny. "Call your little watch dogs off me now!"

"I have no idea what you are talking about," Sonny said feigning ignorance.

"Well that's funny cause the guy whose throat I just held a knife to said differently."

Sonny's eye's widened just a bit before he asked,"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?" Lila asked impatiently.

"Not letting me be a part of your life?"

Lila laughed bitterly. "Like you wanted to be a part of my life when you had Jason pretend to be my father all to save your marriage to this," she said gesturing towards Carly. "Why don't you just admit that your plan worked a little too well? I didn't ruin your marriage and Jason is-was my father. Sonny, you are less than nothing to me. Having your men follow me isn't going to make me like you anymore. I have chosen my family and that choice does not include you."

"Then what are you still doing here?" Carly asked snottily.

"Well I'm about to choke the life right out of you. I'll tell you the same thing I told that screwed-up slut you call a daughter. Stay outta my face and we won't have a problem."

"Like my daughter would willingly talk to you!"

"Actually I'm beginning to believe she's gay or something. As much as she goes out of her way to talk to me." Lila turned on her heel and looked back once she got to the door."Don't mess with me. You'll lose everytime."

Okay so that chapter pretty much sucked. It was started earlier today when I was in a better mood. I'm sorry I'll make it up to you next time. Not some of the most polite stuff I've ever done. Oh well..Review even if you didn't like it.
