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
Layla and Lucius were finishing dinner at an elegant restaurant, preparing to leave, when a man approached them.
"Layla Rosenzweig," he called out her name, causing both of them to turn in surprise.
"Ryan?" Layla uttered, her voice laced with shock.
"You've changed so much," Ryan remarked, his gaze sweeping over her, taking in her appearance.
Lucius's expression darkened at the stranger's bold scrutiny. Stepping forward, he placed a possessive hand on Layla's lower back. "Lucius De Salvo, Layla's husband," he introduced himself with a cool demeanor, his eyes narrowing slightly as he sized up the man before them.
Ryan extended a hand, seemingly unfazed. "Ryan Sinclair," he said with a friendly smile. Having spent most of his time in the U.S., Ryan hadn't recognized Lucius's name. "I didn't know Layla got married," he added, shaking Lucius's hand before stepping back.
