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 groaned softly as she turned to her left, her head throbbing with a dull ache. Slowly blinking her eyes open, she found herself lying next to Lucius, who was sound asleep, his chest rising and falling steadily. He lay shirtless, the faint morning light highlighting the intricate dragon tattoo etched across his muscular torso.
The events of the previous night rushed through her mind, vivid and overwhelming, making her heart race. Propping herself up on her elbows, Layla's gaze lingered on his bare chest, her throat tightening as she swallowed.
Carefully, she lifted the duvet, moving with quiet precision, and gently slid her leg out from under the covers, trying not to disturb him as she began to slip away.
