Born into one of the wealthiest families in the country, Layla Rosenzweig's true identity is taken away at the time of her birth by the mistress of her father. She is forced to live as the illegitimate daughter of the Rosenzweig Family. Everyone treats her no less than an outsider in her own house. "This is mine. That is mine. In fact, everything is mine," Layla's half-sister told her. Everything that belonged to Layla is given to her half-sister, including her boyfriend. Then, she is forced to marry her ex-boyfriend's ruthless uncle, Lucius De Salvo, the most terrifying man in the country. Lucius De Salvo is known for his ruthless ways to get his work done. His name is enough to terrify people. It is said that he is a man devoid of emotions. He will find pleasure in people's pain and misery. He loves to torment those who come under his radar. But why is he so lovely to Layla? Or is it just a pretense? "Are you ready for the wedding night, Darling?" Lucius asked. “I've desired you for a long time.” “What?” Layla was shocked. “Why would you?” “Because you are Layla Rosenzweig. The woman I like.” With that, he captured her mouth for a passionate kiss. ~~~~~ **Cover Is Mine** Follow me on Instagram: rayoflight_pcy
The next morning, Lucius dropped Layla off at her office before heading back home to visit his father. As he approached the grand estate, his car glided to a smooth stop right at the mansion's main entrance.
Stepping out, he straightened his suit and handed the keys to a waiting guard, who bowed respectfully before taking the vehicle away.
Lucius strode through the ornate double doors and made his way to the garden, where he knew his father preferred to spend his mornings.
He spotted Alekis strolling leisurely along the cobblestone path, his hands clasped behind his back, radiating a calm authority.
"Good morning, Dad," Lucius called out as he approached.
Alekis paused mid-step, turning with a warm smile that crinkled the corners of his eyes. "Good morning, son." His voice was rich with affection as he opened his arms.
Lucius closed the distance between them and embraced his father. Alekis patted his son's back before gently pulling away.
