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 returning from the prison visit, Layla attended a meeting with an important client. Finally back in her office, she sank into her swivel chair, letting out a quiet sigh of relief. She pulled out her phone, glancing at the screen. "Lucius should have landed in Spain by now," she murmured to herself, and her fingers hovered over the call icon just as his name lit up on the screen.
A smile softened her features as she answered, lifting the phone to her ear. "I was just about to call you. Have you and Roger arrived safely?" she asked.
"Yes, we've checked into the hotel," Lucius replied in his usual calm tone.
"Good. You should get some rest then," Layla suggested gently.
"It wasn't a long journey," he assured her. "I'm planning to head out soon to take care of what I came here for. The sooner, the better."
She nodded. "You're right. Just be careful," she said, a hint of concern in her voice.
