Chapter Two-I Don’t Want This Marriage Too

Layla's head was still lowered and her nails dug into her palm, in an attempt to stop her hands from trembling.Damian glared at her coldly and looked at his board members apologetically, they took the clue that the meeting has automatically come to an end because of Layla's disruptions, and one after the other, they troped out of the beautifully decorated and comfortable sitting room where the meeting was held.Some of the board members ignored Layla on their way out while others stared daggers at her and hissed, but none of them dared to pass a silly comment verbally to her because they all knew Damian, he was the youngest among them but the most feared, most importantly he was so unpredictable.The last to leave the room was his assistant, Amy, she was dressed seductively and swayed her waist trying her possible best to get Damian attention.Layla noticed Amy and felt ashamed on her behalf, “ why will a lady try to make herself noticeable by a man, he should be the one trying to ge

Mr. Wilson agreed to help us out but gave a condition before his death that you marry his only son, Damian, at first the Wilson had no problem with this arrangement but Karen called me this afternoon to cancel the plans, I don't know why she said that but we do not have much time.

Chapter Four-What Made You Change Your Mind

Damian’s cold face expressed warmth, but then again,“ What made you change your mind,” he askedLayla wasn’t expecting such a question and the young man that was with Damian seemed interested as well. If she said it was because she didn’t want to be subjected to a life of hardship because of the challenges they were facing then she was a gold digger, and she couldn’t say it was because she loved him. After all, she didn’t.Her silence was beginning to annoy Damian and make him uncomfortable but he was not going to make it easy for her, he needed an answer to his question. Maybe she didn’t hear him, so he rephrased his question,“. What made you change your mind, why do you want to marry me now,”Layla wasn’t a liar but still couldn’t tell him about her plans.There was something about Damian that made it impossible for her to lie to him even though she was not looking him in the eyes.“ I don’t want to go to the countryside and I want to complete my education,” she said seriously.Da

Chapter Eight-Where Do You Think You Are Going To

Layla's fingers dug into her palm at the sound of her voice.She turned around shakily to meet Damian’s cold and piercing gaze. His shirt was loose and three buttons from the top were opened. Though looking tired and angry, He was still incredibly handsome. Flushed, Layla lowered her head and thought of a good excuse as her heart rate refused to return to normal.“ You didn’t knock, what if I was naked,” she said, trying to sound defensive.Damian knew she was only trying to divert the topic but he was bent on knowing who she was talking to, especially since he heard her say, ‘See you soon’.“ I did knock. But you were so busy with whoever it was you were talking to and didn’t respond so I helped myself in” Damian lied. The truth is, he didn’t knock but did not want Layla to use that as an advantage and not reply to him.Layla’s heartbeat increased fast. ‘ How long has he been standing there and did he hear her conversation?’ She thought and the feeling of dread crawled up her spine.D

I couldn’t sleep and wanted fresh air.” She lay with her head lowered to the ground.Damian didn’t think she was up to anything bad but then, his eyes caught something and immediately, he grew suspicious.‘ Why will she be all dressed up and wearing trainers if it was just for fresh air“ You could have stood at your balcony if that was the case” his tone was impassive and his voice lowered. He didn’t want to draw the attention of his mom and sister.Layla was relieved that he believed her but she felt bad because her plans were ruined.“ I’m sorry. You know this is not my house and I was only going to take a stroll in the garden” she explained.Within a few days, she had turned into a liar and if only Damian hadn’t put her in

We’ve been friends for a long and I just want to see and talk to her before my wedding”.Damian almost believed her but Ava is not one to trust easily. Layla might be smart but she’s very intelligent, she might be up to something again.He asked bitterly,“Why should I believe you? What if it’s a trick to run away with your so-called best friend?”For the first time in a while, Layla lifted her head and looked him in the eyes.“ I will do no such thing, I promise” she pleaded.All she wanted was to see Ava and explain the situation of things to her.
