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
Lucius took the water hose from Grandma Alessia, his hands gently guiding the stream toward the garden. "You've grown your own vegetable patch here, Grandma," he observed with admiration.
"It's far better than anything you'd find at the market," Lady Alessia replied with a hint of pride, before instructing him to water the plants thoroughly.
"I'm on it," Lucius said with a smile. He glanced over at her, concern lacing his tone. "Why don't you sit down for a while? Standing too long might strain your knees."
Lady Alessia nodded and made her way to the porch, settling under the shade of the slanted roof. She watched him work, a fond smile softening her features.
"I never thought I'd see you again after all this time," she said, her voice reflective. "Are you happy with your life now?"
"I am," Lucius replied warmly.
