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
Everyone was stunned by Layla's unexpected declaration. Orabela seized the moment to sway the family's opinion in her favor.
"Grandma is old now," Orabela began, her voice laced with feigned concern. "I don't think we should send her away. What if something happens to her while we're not around to help?" Her carefully placed worry was aimed at garnering sympathy.
Layla's sharp gaze pinned Orabela in place. "Then perhaps you should accompany your grandmother, Orabela," she said, her tone calm but firm. "After all, she has always showered you with her love and affection. It's only fair that you return the favor by taking care of her now."
Orabela's expression faltered, her fingers curling into fists as she realized the trap she had unwittingly stepped into.
