Layla's POV

Christmas Eve arrived, and Alex transformed our penthouse into a winter wonderland.

A majestic tree stood tall, adorned with sparkling ornaments and garlands.

Soft candlelight illuminated the room, casting a warm glow.

It felt heavenly!

Alex took my hand, leading me to the balcony overlooking the glittering city.

“Merry Christmas, Layla,” he whispered, his eyes shining.

“Merry Christmas to you too, Baby.” I smiled.

Below, a private orchestra played festive melodies.

A champagne flute appeared in my hand, filled with golden bubbly.

“To our forever Christmas together,” Alex toasted.

I smiled, clinking my glass against his.

As we sipped, a sleigh drawn by majestic horses glided onto the rooftop.

“Alex, is this real?” I gasped.

He chuckled. “I would do the unimaginable just for you.”

We rode the sleigh above the city, stars twinkling above. Enjoying a great time together.

“Wow!” I exclaimed in awe.

“You deserve the best, Layla.” Alex smiled, placing a kiss on my neck.

The venom in her words was palpable, her anger and resentment boiling over like a pot left unattended.We've pretended for far too long," my grandmother's voice dripped with hostility, her eyes blazing with a fierce intensity.

She worked so hard for me that she neglected herself.I became so determined to care for her, to fight for her, just as she had always fought for me."Mom, I won't let you down," I promised, holding her frail hand in mine.

"Why can't I get her out of my head?" I ruffled my hair with my hands agressively. "I hate this!"With a throbbing pain in my head, I entered the bathroom and switched on the shower.I allowed the water to do its work as it ran its way through my skin.I seethed with rage, wondering who had the audacity to spike my drink.The culprit is either extremely foolish or has a death wish. I guess they have no idea who they are messing with. I will make them pay! They will beg for their dear lives.As I stepped out of the bathroom utterly naked, trickles of water coursed down my body, forming a tiny puddle on the floor at my feet.Today is Sunday and it's family time for the Kings' family.I put on a cotton shirt and a denim jeans, and ran to the grand hall where we have our family time.Everyone was already sitted e

I think she is quite famous because they all know who I was describing.But I was shocked with the response I got."She doesn't work here anymore." The manager said, his head bowed to the ground."What!" How is that possible? Why? Is she okay?" I couldn't stop myself from asking questions.She is the only one that can save me from this doom."She quit her job yesterday, sir and didn't give a reason." He said, wondering why I would be searching for a mere waitress. "So how do I find her?" I demanded, my voice laced with desperation. I stared hard at him, my eyes burning with anger. I looked like I might explode if I didn't get the answers I needed.With fear in his eyes, and his head bowed to the ground, he stammered. "I…I…don't know sir." She said she won't be working for long, so I didn't get any details." He was visibly

No one has ever called my name so perfectly.What is worng with you Layla? I shouldn't be feeling this way for someone who took my pride and left me all to myself.Caution Layla! Caution! I warned myself, but there's no going back."It's just a contract marriage, for three years." He explained, holding out some papers. "You can read the terms before signing it." I collected the papers from him.Shock gripped me as I scanned the content.A part of me wanted this marriage to be real not just a fake agreement.We went back inside. " So what do you say?

That I am his contract bride or what?I just stared blankly at her."Alex, darling." She turned to him, smiling from ear to ear "Who is this…this person?" Alex's eyes narrowed, his jaw clenched in annoyance. "Get your hands off me!" He growled, his deep voice resonating across the room.In fear, she took her hands off, visibly shaking."You want to know who she is, huh?" He walked closely to me and wrapped his arm around my waist.

"What was that for?" I asked, my face blazing with anger."What are you doing with the daughter of a harlot?" My grandmother asked. Her veins were popping out of her head. She turned to Layla. "You think I don't know? I have done my findings. This was the same way your mother married your dead father!" She spat in her face. "Don't be a disgrace to this family. Just leave quietly now, you are not welcomed."I stepped forward, my face burning with anger. "Grandmother, stop it! You can't talk to her like that, she is my wife!" He slammed.I hate when my choices are being questioned.My grandmother gave a cold smile. "Amelia is your wife, not her. Do you want to tarnish the image of this family? Huh!

I wondered, with a smirk on my face. “I know I have.” I replied.Suddenly, one of our own security guards pulled a gun on us“Seriously, Jeff?” I raised an eyebrow. “You're joining the dark side?”Larry disarmed the traitor. “Guess we have a mole.”I glared at the guard. “You're fired.

Client data is at risk.” He replied.I cursed under my breath. “Get our tech team on it. Now.”Just as we began brainstorming solutions, my phone buzzed. An unknown number.“Hello?” I answered.“Alexander King.” A low, menacing voice replied on the other end.My instincts kicked in. “Who is this?”“You don't need to know.

    Alexander's POVTears streamed down my face as I heard Layla's whispering into my ears.“I will stand by you, Alex. Even if you decide to push me away.”My heart melted.I was selfish. I shouldn't have desired a family. It was too much for me to desire happiness with my family.I pretended to sleep, Layla's words echoing in my mind. She deserved better than a life filled with hospital visits and constant worry. But I couldn't bear the thought of losing her.As we arrived home, Layla helped me to my room, her silence a testament to her concern. I knew she must have done research on Hemophilia A, trying to understand the reality we faced.It wasn't as bad as she supposed. I have been taking care of myself since I was young. I let her think I was asleep, but I watched her through slightly opened eyes. Her determination and love were a healing to my soul.The next few days passed in a blur.

I paced back and forth in the guest room, trying to calm down.I couldn't believe he thought I would leave him over some illness. Did he really think so little of me? I stopped pacing and took a deep breath. No, Alexander wouldn't think that. There must be more to it.I walked over to the bed and sat down, my mind racing. What could this illness be? Is it contagious? Is that why he's keeping it a secret?Just as I was lost in thought, I heard a faint noise coming from Alexander's room. I got up and walked towards the door, listening closely. It sounded like...shattering glass?My heart skipped a beat. I quickly opened the door and rushed to Alexander's room. “Alexander!” I exclaimed.He was sitting on the bed, his hand bleeding profusely. Glass shards were scattered all around him. I rushed to his side. “Oh my

I grabbed Julian's neck, my hands tightening around it.“You scumbag!” I growled.Sophia rushed over to stop me, but she was sent flying in the air with just a light kick. “Jackass,” Julian cursed, his voice cracked.“Kill me, you bastard,” he spat.I glared at him, strangling him. His eyes turned red, and his face flushed.“She would have found out anyway,” Julian whispered.“I would have taken the secret to my grave if you hadn't told her!” I growled.Here are the sentences rewritten with simpler grammar:“Leave him alone!” Sophia yelled, crawling towards us.
