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
The next morning, Layla dialed her father-in-law's number, her heart pounding as she waited for him to answer. After a few rings, his familiar voice came through, warm and steady.
"Good morning, Layla," Alekis greeted her, a hint of curiosity in his tone. "To what do I owe the pleasure of this early call from my daughter-in-law?"
"Good morning, Father," Layla replied, keeping her voice composed. "I was hoping we could meet today."
Alekis chuckled softly. "Layla, you're always welcome at the house. There's no need for formalities or advance notice."
Layla hesitated for a moment before speaking again, her tone more serious. "I appreciate that, Father, but this isn't a casual visit. There's something important I need to discuss with you—privately."
Alekis paused, sensing the weight behind her words. "I see," he said, his tone shifting to one of quiet concern. "Very well. Let's arrange a time and place. Is everything all right?"
