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
As Layla approached the car, a man in a mask discreetly snapped photos of her. Pulling his cap down to obscure his face, he quickly ducked behind a nearby vehicle. Once Layla's car drove off, the man checked his camera, satisfied with the shots. He tapped the Bluetooth device in his ear.
"I'm almost done. I'll inform you once the job is complete," he muttered, tapping the device again before slipping into his car and driving away.
Meanwhile, inside Layla's car, she focused on reviewing a proposal for Lucius' early morning meeting. Before she could absorb the details, Lucius reached over, snatching the file from her hands and shutting it. Layla raised an eyebrow in annoyance.
"Give it back," she demanded firmly.
"No," he replied with a teasing smile. "Leave work at the office."
"But I need to prepare for your meeting tomorrow. It's my first day, and there's still so much to learn," she argued.
"Ask me, and I'll tell you," he offered.
