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. ~~~~~ **Cover Is Mine** Follow me on Instagram: rayoflight_pcy
In the evening, Lucius and Layla arrived at his father's house for dinner. As there was still some time before the meal, Alekis turned to his son and asked, "Lucius, come to my room. There's something I'd like to discuss with you."
Lucius glanced at Layla, who gave him a reassuring smile. "I'll be fine," she said softly.
"Fiona will keep Layla company. Let them spend some time together," Alekis suggested before heading towards his room with Lucius.
After thanking the maid who had brought her a glass of water, Layla sipped it slowly. Fiona, who had been sitting nearby, spoke up with a knowing smile. "I can see the glow on your face after returning from your honeymoon. It seems you and Lucius are getting along quite well."
Layla lowered her glass and met Fiona's gaze. "Yes, we are," she replied calmly.
