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
Under the shade of a towering tree, Lucius had meticulously set up their picnic on the green glass floor. The peaceful estate stretched out before them, vast and serene, as August ran joyfully through the open field, his laughter echoing in the quiet.
Layla took a deep breath, savoring the fresh air and the tranquility around them. The estate felt like an oasis, far removed from the bustle of the world.
"There's no one around," Layla observed, her eyes scanning the empty landscape before settling on Lucius, who was lying comfortably on the soft cloth they had spread out. A wide-brimmed hat covered his face.
Lucius lazily lowered the hat to his chest, revealing his eyes as they met hers. "It's a private estate," he explained, his voice calm and unhurried. "I didn't think going to a public park was the best idea."
