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 leaving the prison, Layla stopped by a quaint florist shop, selecting a small, elegant bouquet of lilies and roses. She stepped into the car with a thoughtful expression as Aiden moved to close the door behind her with practiced care. Sliding into the driver's seat, he cast a glance her way.
"Layla, you still haven't told me what Seraphina said," Aiden began, his tone light but curious.
Layla sighed softly, placing the bouquet on her lap. "You'll hear it from Lucius soon enough," she replied, a touch of exasperation in her voice. "I know you all conspire to keep me in the dark while working together."
Aiden turned toward her with an apologetic look. "It's not like that. Boss just doesn't want you to worry unnecessarily," he explained, his words laced with sincerity. "We all agree—it's better for you to let us handle these things."
