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 was surprised to find out that Lucius knew his mother's thoughts so deeply. But how? They didn't even live together.
"Why have you turned silent?" He tilted his head to look at her. "You don't need to lie to me just to keep my heart. I told you I don't have any hard feelings toward my mother. Her presence or absence doesn't bother me. Neither her words affect me," he stated. The two of them found a seating bench on their way to the top of the hill, where Lucius decided to sit with her for some time.
"Lucius, I am sorry. I didn't wish to lie to you. I just felt I should not let you get sad," Layla said, looking at him.
"Come on, Layla. You don't need to apologise for such a small thing," Lucius asserted.
"Don't you feel upset?" she asked.
"She doesn't own my life. The day she abandoned me, I abandoned her too," he said. "She never liked my friendship with Matteo. I don't justify my actions, but I love what I do. Just don't hate me."
