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. ~~~~~ Follow me on Instagram: rayoflight_pcy
"Why?" Layla asked, genuinely surprised.
Lucius shrugged slightly. "Dad didn't say much over the phone. We'll find out when we get there," he replied. Then, glancing at her with curiosity, he asked, "How did things go with your father?"
Layla sighed. "He wants me to see my mother. I think… a lot has come unraveled at home since the truth surfaced."
Lucius nodded thoughtfully. "In that case, should we go to your place first?"
She shook her head. "No, I'm not ready for that just yet," she replied firmly. "Besides, your father called me specifically, so I think it's best we see him first."
"Sure, then," Lucius agreed, and together they set off for the old De Salvo family mansion.
