Synopsis

Pretty Layla, an ordinary employee burdened and haunted by a dark past, meets Ambert, a handsome billionaire whose image is pristine. When he starts showing interest on her, she promptly avoids her as she doesn't believe that a man like Ambert, rich, powerful and with an unsullied reputation, would truly fall for a woman like her. But Ambert perseveres and pursues her, exerting all efforts to show that he truly loves her. Layla's heart eventually surrenders. But soon, she discovers the painful truth that Ambert isn't really innocent and is actually a major part of her dark past.

PROLOGUE

IT WAS A SCENE every man would be furious to watch. A scene where the woman he loved was having passionate sex with another man. The muted fifteen-minute video disgusted Ambert but he couldn’t take his eyes off it. He focused on Layla’s face, trying to see if she was enjoying the act. But why wouldn’t she? She was in love with Allan, the man she was in bed with, the man currently seated in front of him, watching him watch the video. Ambert grimaced when he saw Layla biting her lip and closing her eyes while Allan sucked her nipple. They were both completely naked, and when he saw Allan kissing her downwards to her belly, he shut his eyes hard. Enough! he screamed inwardly. Gritting his teeth, he handed back the cell phone to Allan. It was a good thing Allan wasn’t smiling or grinning at that moment as he was sure he could break his face with his fist if that was the case. Allan’s expression was that of a businessman nervously trying to close a very important deal. “I’m deleting i...

CHAPTER 1
WHEN AMBERT LIFTED his eyes from the documents he was reading on his desk, he saw two women standing beside the door of his office, looking at him.One of these women was Louise, his twenty-six year old secretary. Louise, married for four years now and had two daughters, was beautiful. But the woman standing beside her, who looked in her mid-twenties, was far prettier and more gorgeous. Louise stood at five feet seven inches and looked only an inch taller than the other woman. And he loved what the other woman—why was he calling her the other woman, he almost smiled, she had a name, he was just forgetting it at the moment—was wearing: pink blouse, black slacks, medium-long black hair and silky white skin. She was carrying a laptop bag in one hand and a cell phone in the other.Her lips instantly formed into an enthusiastic smile when their eyes met—and it made his heart bounce a little faster and louder, which was quite unusual. His heart, they said, was made of steel and wasn’t easy

CHAPTER 2
Layla didn’t answer and looked blankly at her laptop bag while remaining seated—and he didn’t like that reaction—or her lack of reaction. Ten out of ten women he asked to have lunch with him would accept it in a heartbeat. And he wasn’t being a chauvinist here, just stating a fact. He was always respectful of women and they most likely sensed that in him so they always felt safe with him. And what’s a little lunch? They would eat in a public place, where not a few people would probably gawk at them and monitor their every move. He had become some sort of a celebrity after Olivia won as Miss Universe. Some media people even tagged him as Mr. Universe, a moniker he didn’t relish. Certainly, a lunch date between two professionals was no big deal and he had done her a favor by agreeing to this interview so he had no reason to refuse. The interview would certainly help her career. In a civilized society, Layla refusing his innocuous invitation could be considered a terrible offense.She fi

CHAPTER 3
FORTUNATELY, LAYLA ACCEPTED Ambert’s friend request and he immediately went to her account and looked at her photos. He never thought he’d one day be a stalker but here he was, browsing a woman’s social media posts because he was interested with her. He didn’t see a photo of him in her photos or an article about him on her Timeline. Maybe it was buried deep on her account. He also didn’t see any photos or posts that would suggest that she was in a relationship. Or maybe, she just valued her privacy. No, she told him that she was single, so it must be the truth. He still was looking at one of her photos when it suddenly vanished. All of a sudden, her photos were nowhere to be found. He went back to her Timeline and the photos he saw a minute earlier had disappeared magically, too. What happened? He really wasn’t an expert when it came to Facebook or other social media platforms. In fact, the last time he logged into his Facebook account was more than a month ago. So was it just a Face

CHAPTER 4
“SHE WAS CROSSING the street and was about to walk to the curb when the car, which was at the middle lane, suddenly swerved towards her direction and hit her,” Edmond explained. “When she fell, he scooted away and vanished, without attempting to see what happened to her or help her. I wanted to run after the car but I thought she needed my help more so I stopped my car and attended to her. She stood up and tried to walk but I was able to convince her to get into my car. She got disoriented but she was able to give me a number to call.”“Thank you for what you did, Sir.”“It’s nothing, it was just the right thing to do.”“Did you get the plate number of the car?”He shook his head. “Unfortunately, I did not but the make and color of the car, I can tell you.”“Please tell it to the cops, sir.”“I will.”“What’s your name, sir.”“Edmond.“I’m Ambert. Thank you again, sir.”It was at that moment that she saw Anika walking towards them. He politely excused himself from the man and walked t

CHAPTER 5
“BEFORE I ORDER,” Anika, wearing a striped red shirt and pink capri pants and white sneakers, said as she scanned the menu at their table, “let’s be clear on who’s gonna foot the bill. And that it’s you.” Anika only wore formal attire when she was hosting her TV show. She was six years older than her. She was smart, graduated cum laude, and had a doctorate. She came from a well-off family, her father a rich engineer, and her mother, a journalist, who also came from a wealthy family. Ambert laughed. “I will never let a woman, whoever and whatever she is, no matter how rich she is, pay for my food and her food while she’s with me. I won’t even go Dutch with Bill Gates.” “I’m not rich but it’s nice,” Anika grinned. “That is why women like you.” He grinned, but didn’t say anything. “It’s a fact,” she grinned back at him. “All women like you. And now,” she looked back at the menu. “What’s the most expensive food here?” It was just a joke as Anika only ordered lasagna and iced tea. “So

CHAPTER 6
THE TRAFFIC LIGHT turned red and the cars slowed down and stopped in front of Layla. She had just alighted from a bus and was waiting for her chance to cross the road. She stepped into the street and began walking as soon as the cars in front of her came to a complete halt. She glanced at her watch: it was almost 12:30 pm. She was on her way back to the office when she received a call from Anika, asking her to go back to Ambert’s office for some additional questions. Always a good soldier, she made the bus stop, and then she alighted, crossed the street and climbed a bus going to the opposite direction. Layla was about to stepped on the curb when she heard the angry screeching of car tires—she glanced to where she thought the noise was coming and saw a car hurtling towards her. She stepped onto the curb just as the car was about to hit her—the sidewalk proving to be an obstacle the car refused to hurdle. The car whizzed by her just a few inches from her before it hummed away while she

CHAPTER 7
LAYLA STARED AT the red vehicle while her heart was starting to beat erratically. No, she shook her head with a realization, she was just being paranoid. It was obviously a different and bigger car. She still was looking at the car when a woman and a boy—probably mother and child—approached the car. The backseat door opened and the two climbed inside the car. Layla watched the car moved away before she continued walking. She went to the gate, showed her ID and strolled inside. She had been working here, one of the largest TV networks in the country, for more than two years now. The tallest building in the compound had ten floors and on its highest floor, at the north side of the building, you could see the company’s logo: a large GBN, and beside it was a mounted knight charging. Knights are, of course, known for its courage and honor. Well, the company had been acting as her knight in shining armor. A human knight in shining armour would be fine, but she wasn’t really looking for one

CHAPTER 8
LAYLA TOOK A few steps forward again, and then stopped and glanced at the car again. It still was following her. What was it doing? Why was it here? Waiting for her? The driver thinking of hitting her again? Wouldn’t it be so soon? Why was it in a hurry to run her over and send her to her grave? Was there a deadline? A wry smile shaped on her lips. She continued walking on the sidewalk. She was safe here, it failed to hurdle this type of obstacle the last time, unless the driver of the car would be crazy enough to climb it so they could hit her—and hitting her meant hitting also other people as she wasn’t alone on the sidewalk. No one could be that crazy, the backlash over it would be insanely intense.When she looked back at the car, she saw it pulling over at the opposite side of the road. She stopped walking and just stared, as if hypnotized, at the car. Her heart almost skipped a beat when she saw one of its doors opening. She found herself gulping when she saw a tall man in bla

CHAPTER 9
THE RINGING STOPPED and Ambert heard a female voice from the other line.“Hello,” he greeted back calmly. “Is this Nancy?”“Yes, this is Nancy,” she said, her voice sounding exuberant and younger than her forty-four years. “Who is this?”“This is Ambert Torres,” he introduced himself.“Ambert Torres?”“Yes, ma’am.”She didn’t speak for a few seconds. “Of the Torres Family?” then she asked, her voice sounding a bit incredulous.“Yes, ma’am.”“No kidding?”“No kidding.”“Oh!” she quipped, which sounded happy. “I will need a proof, first,” she chuckled. “I don’t know Mr. Ambert Torres personally and I’m not expecting a call from him. You might be a scammer or a hacker targeting my fat bank account.” She chuckled again, and then said. “Please speak again.”“I’m not a scammer, ma’am.”“Speak again, please.”“What do you want me to say?”“Nothing substantial, really,” she said, he could picture her smiling widely at that moment. “I just want to hear your voice. But there, I believe you no
