"If so, then who was the person she spent the night with? I think I have to make some investigation," he thought before falling onto his bed.
He was clearly not bothered about the threat the man made. If he wanted, he should inform his dad, the company was not under his name anyways.
He wouldn't allow anyone to ruin the hard work he had spent so much time and effort to create.
Brooks' Mansion>
When the two stepped into tbe house, they were greeted by a pair of glittering eyes and they looked behind their backs to see if they were the ones being stared at.
"We are looking at you, then why are you looking behinds you?" Grandpa Brooks complained and they hummed in sync.
"You are meant to be asleep, it's way past the time you are meant to sleep," Layla said as she looked at her wristwatch completely befuddled with the way the elders were acting.
"We have been waiting for you, we have something to discuss with you," grandp
She had never known that her master would be so chatty but she could feel something in her master's voice. He didn't reject the marriage, instead, it felt that he approved of it.Layla immediately freshened up and went to bed immediately. She had a really long day.Next morning>Layla woke up feeling sore. She had slept in an awkward position the previous night, so it affected her today.She rubbed her neck which was hurting from the way she slept. She dragged her tired self to the bathroom and had a long shower. She dressed up in a professional suits and applied quite a bit of makeup.As she walked downstairs, she bumped into Miles who was fixing his tie. Her gaze met his and there was an awkward silence. Miles was the first one to break it."Good morning," his low husky voice resounded and her heart pounded with a loud bang. Why didn't she notice that his voice sounded this good."Yeah, good morning," she said and h
Grandpa Brooks could still find time to tease Knight in this situation. This only caused him to roll his eyes before they burst out laughing.Meanwhile, Miles was staring at Layla. He wanted to ask her questions but he didn't know how to go about it."If you have something to ask me, then do so," she suddenly spoke up and his hands slipped away from the wheel in fright."So sorry about that," he quickly regained control of the wheel when she stared at him."I would never have known that you are acquainted with grandpa Knight and that you also know how to hack," he said after some moment of silence."I didn't mean to hide it from you, it's just,""I understand, you didn't trust me," he said as he looked ahead not bothering to look at her anymore.Layla was startled by what he said not because he was right even though he was, but by the fact that he was able to see through her. Yes, she didn't quite trust him and it wasn't her fault, she just didn't expect that he would be aware of it.
Chapter One Layla woke up feeling sore. Her eyes flew open and she was shocked as to how long she had slept. She stood up with wobbly feet and also with great difficulty. She was still muddled and couldn't remember anything that happened last night. She only remembers having a few drinks with her boyfriend as he called her to have fun to liven up her damp mood. She wore her clothes quickly and rushed out of the room. She didn't even notice the patch of red on the bed. As she rushed out, she was greeted with strange glances but she didn't think much of it. On getting home, she was shocked by what she met. Her sister and boyfriend were all loving to each other "Why?" She asked feeling heartbroken. "I never loved you. I only love Ella and besides I can't be with someone who goes around sleeping with men. Seriously I thought you were different but after Ella showed me who you really are, I was disappointed." Michael said acting all disappointed. "Why are you saying such? You know
I'm sorry,I was just too shocked that you made such a ridiculous statement." Layla said patting her chest. His gaze was too scary."Don't think too much. I just want my grandfather to stop arranging blind dates for me." He said while caressing his wrist. His eyes look deep and Layla wasn't able to read emotions from his face. He was really good at hiding his emotions."Fine. But I want to carry out revenge on my ex boyfriend and stepsister. I want them to suffer a fate much worse than mine." Layla said while clenching her fists. Mike's turned to look at her and was satisfied with her attitude. Even without her saying that,he would have done it,though secretly. He didn't want her to see him as a bad person after all she would be his wife.Of course. Then it's a deal. After your mom's surgery,you would sign the contract. Is that fine by you?" Miles asked obviously concerned about her opinion."Sure. Can I go see my mom now?" Layla asked. She was really worried and at the same time ex
Grandpa please do not tell me that after my warnings,you still decided to act as my butler?" Miles asked as he rubbed his head. He was already tired as it was and thinking of the stunt his grandpa just pulled,he felt really exhausted."Whatever,I like her. So when are you going to get married to her?" Grandpa Brooks asked with a gossipy tone."Soon grandpa." He said and hung up. He rubbed his head and called his assistant in. They were about to have a serious conversation."Buy that apartment under Layla's name." He said to his assistant with a calculating look. They had humiliated one of his people so he has to give them a taste of their own medicine."Sure thing boss." Kingsley responded."Miss Layla's superior has plans to fire her,what should I do boss?" Kingsley asked."You are really asking that question. You don't know what to do or should I remind you what is to be done?" Miles asked and Kingsley left the office immediately. He didn't want to be on the receiving end of the bos
If the blade comes in contact with her face,her mother would be heartbroken."Why are you denying it? Do you think he would protect a slut like you when he can't even protect himself? He had confessed to it himself." The woman mocked hellbent on destroying her face.Layla turned to look at the manager in despair. So he could actually do something like that. Is this payback for not accepting his proposal? Layla felt different emotions swirling within her. She wished that Miles could appear and save her from such humiliation.The others were busy making fun of her as they all glanced at her with disdain. They hated her and were quite happy with the way she was treated. None of them came to her rescue as they placated other customers.The customers gave Layla a dirty look as the woman dragged her out. The manager on the other hand,gave her a knowing look."Stop!!" An authoritative voice resounded throughout the building.The woman subconsciously stopped and Layla turned to look at her s
"That's not me!!" She subconsciously blurted out. "I know it's not you,I know the goal of the sender was to make me agitated and unfortunately,I fell into it," her mother,Kelly said calmly. She closed her eyes as she sighed out before saying, "you may leave,I want to be alone." "Mom," she whispered and Miles shook his head at her. "It's best we let her be for now, let's go I will take you home," he said as he pulled the dazed Layla out. Miles turned to look at the woman on the hospital bed with a deep look. She was definitely hiding something. He could feel it and he would find out what it was. His instincts were always right so they wouldn't be wrong in this. "You have helped me so much," Layla muttered tiredly as she sat on the bench in the hospital's corridor. She decided to wait for a while before she would head home. "It's my duty,after all, I'm your future husband, aren't I?" He asked with a smirk dancing on his lips and she chuckled. He secretly heaved a sigh of relief
Chapter 6"Everyone who have wronged you, I promise to deal with them,just stay with me, please," he said in an hushed voice before he left the room.Next morning, Layla woke up feeling quite refreshed. This was the first time in years she had a good night sleep. She woke up feeling really radiated. It was obvious she was in a good mood with the way she hummed and danced round her room. Her day was destined to turn sour as she received a call from her father. She hissed as she ignored the call,she didn't want anything to do with that family.Her father called for a while before the call got disconnected. She glanced at her phone with disgust as though it was Arthur she was staring at.She did her morning routine and decided to head downstairs. She wanted to have breakfast as she was starving."Good morning grandpa,I hope you had a good night rest?" She asked with a bright look and grandpa Brooks felt more energized seeing her."I had a wonderful night rest, thanks for asking," he sai
