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
Wrapped under the sheets, Lucius caressed Layla's hair with an affectionate and tender touch. He looked at the marks he left on her neck chest and shoulder, realizing he would completely lost it when they would be intimate. Even his body was covered in the red marks particularly around his neck and back, where she had dug her nails earlier.
But right now, she was in a slumber. It was night already, probably past the dinner time.
'I don't want anything happen to Layla. Fiona was right. I've enemies because of the work I do. My past is something that can affect Layla too, but I don't wish to let her go either. From now onward, I need to be more careful. I can't afford to take risks, not with the woman I love the most,' he thought.
Lucius quietly entered the washroom, dampened a towel with lukewarm water, and then returned to the room. He moved with care, not wanting to disturb Layla's peaceful slumber.
