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
After dinner, Layla stayed behind to help the house staff, even though Lady Alessia had gently insisted she leave it to them.
"Why don't you join me for a little chat?" Alessia said, her voice warm and inviting. "It's been ages since I've had a young woman's company in this house. But if you're tired, we can talk in the morning."
Layla smiled softly. "I'm not tired, Grandma. Should we go to your room?"
Alessia's eyes twinkled with affection. "Let's take a walk in the garden instead. It's always good to have a walk after a meal."
"That sounds lovely," Layla replied, slipping her arm through Alessia's and holding it firmly.
As they strolled toward the garden, Layla felt a strange yet comforting warmth. She had often wondered what it might feel like to experience a grandmother's love—a love she had never known.
