Layla's POV“Is that a joke?” I asked, wondering if my ears were playing tricks on me.“You heard me right baby girl.” Emilia said, munching on her vegetables.“Who does that?!” Alex slammed.“Me,” Emilia said nonchalantly, shrugging her shoulders.Oh God. This is going to be hell.“I'm sorry, but grandma you can't stay here. I will lodge you in a hotel that's close to this place.” Alex said, picking out his phone.“Don't bother calling your manager. Kick me out and the whole world will hear how the Almighty Alexander King kicked his grandmother out in the cold, and scary night.” Emilia said, her voice cold but domineering.I touched Alex's hand. “Don't bother.”I stood up from the dining table. “Layla!” Emilia called, but I left the dining hall. “That's rude of you.” She thundered, but I was already gone.

You could win his heart with a dish.Emilia beamed, her eyes shining. “I wanted to surprise you, my lovelies.”This tender side of Emilia was unsettling. The woman who once tormented me with fertility rituals and saying I wasn't fit to be her grandson’s wife now radiated warmth.“Emilia, what's behind this sudden change?” I asked, curiosity getting the better of me.Emilia winked. “Perhaps I've softened with age.”Alexander chuckled. “Or perhaps you're manipulating us with food.”Emilia playfully hit Alexander's hand. “Silence, boy! Who wants a taste of my sumptuous delicacies?”Alexander's eyes sparkled. What is wrong with this man?As we savored each bite, laughter and conversation flowed. For the firs

Layla's POVI clutched Alexander's hand, my heart heavy. Our getaway plans shattered, replaced by hospital vigils with Alexander looking like a shadow of himself.Who knew he loved his family this much. His cousin's sister visits all the time together with her mother.Even though Emilia was difficult to handle, she was still loved by her family. Emilia was put in a private ward with the best facilities and equipment. “Cancel the trip,” Alexander instructed Larry one evening, “Grandma's condition worsened.”Larry nodded sympathetically. “Consider it done.”We expected Lily's semester break to bring a brief, welcome relief. However, Emilia's sudden coma altered everything.Lily's arrival was approaching, but we couldn't greet her at the airport due to Emilia's crisis.Alexander instructed Larry, “Cancel our airport pickup.”Larry nodded sympathetically. “I'll arrange alternative transportation. Or better still, pick her up myself.”I messaged Lily stating that we couldn't welcome her

Layla's POVI woke up early in the morning, reaching for my phone to check social media.As a model, I liked to stay updated.Lily had returned to school. And Alex was doing well at his job. He got new investors from top countries in the world to partner with the Kings' Empire. He had expanded his Empire far and wide to different countries, making The Kings' number one!I was sure Emilia would be swelling with pride in her grave.Alex became the talk of the world. The hottest and youngest billionaire to hit it big. And I was by his side all through, feeling proud. “Yeah, that's my husband!” I scream in my head.Alex is always at the top of the charts. But today's trending news made my heart skip a beat.'Breaking News: Alexander King's Paternity in Question' I felt a chill run down my spine. “What does this mean?”“Alex, come quick!” I called out.Alex walked into the room, munching on snacks. “What's up?” he asked.“Turn on the TV,” I said, staring at my phone in disbelief.“What?”

Why are we always going from one trouble to another? We couldn't even give ourselves a good life. The universe is unfair. Life is not always about money.Alex noticed my gloomy face. “What's wrong?” He asked, concern etched on her face.“Nothing,” I shrugged, changing my expression.We moved swiftly, our team assembling in the conference room within minutes.“Alright, here's the plan," Alexander began. “We'll meet with our key investors, reassure them of our stability. And make sure Reginald's team doesn't get to them first,” I added.Larry handed us each a folder. “These are the target investors.
