Layla's POV“Get them you bastards!” Mr Sawyers yelled at his men. “Do I pay you for nothing?” He groaned, limping on his left leg. Seems his leg is broken. I laughed as Alex led me out of the restaurant.“Thank you, Alex. I feel so safe knowing that I have you.” I smiled, placing my head on his shoulder as we walked to where our car was packed.He smiled sweetly at me “It's my duty to protect you, Layla. I'm not done with him yet. He will still come back to get his revenge. People like him don't accept defeat easily.” “I agree. So what do I do?” I asked, a feeling of fear washing over me.“I will assign a guard to you.” He said.We entered the car and he drove off. When we got home we met Emilia, Alex's grandmother in the villa. She was sitting majestically on the sofa, sipping coffee.I stopped in my tracks. Everytime she shows up chaos always ensues. “Good day ma'am.” I greeted, but she eyed me, acting as though I was invisible.I left Alex's hand and headed for the room. “Whe

Layla's POV“Are your memories back?” I asked, surprised at how he called me his wife, but he completely ignored me.“Leave now!” He ordered his grandmother out. “I'll call the cops on you.”Emilia walked out of the ward dejectedly and I felt pity for her.Alex hissed and walked inside the bathroom, completely ignoring me.I slumped on the bed as tears flowed down my face.Why is all this happening to us now? Just when we were getting our lives back together.Alex had been in a vegetative state for Seven months and things have changed.His father has taken over the family's business, making a young man, who he called his illegitimate son, the CEO of Kings’ Empire. Saying that when Alex wakes up, he would hand it over back to him. But now that he is awake, his memories are gone!Emilia and Larry fought against the idea to no avail. Since the company was on the verge of crashing, the shareholders had no choice but to appoint an illegitimate son as CEO.He walked out of the bathroom, loo

Layla's POVMy mind hasn't been at rest since Alex left the house. I placed a call to him but I was forwarded to voicemail.All these scenarios that have been unfolding lately are already making me tired.Can't we just have a day of rest and true happiness? I wondered.Larry's call came through, interrupting my thoughts and I picked immediately.“What's going on? Why is Alex not picking his calls?” I bombarded him with questions.He heaved a sigh. “He instructed me to wait in the car so that he'll handle things himself.” He replied.“And you obeyed?” I slammed, not believing my ears. “There's nothing I could have done, " Layla calmed down. He is Alexander King, he will fix himself.” he said.I let out a sigh to calm my nerves. “What if he's already been removed?” “That can't happen, we already have a plan.” He replied and I hung up.I can't just stay idle, I have to do something. I thought as I picked up the car keys and headed for the King's ancestral mansion.When I arrived, I ali

Layla's POVShould I admit that I'm falling in love with this new side of Alex? I feel like I'm experiencing our love for the second time."It's no time to celebrate yet, let's move!" Larry exclaimed, interrupting our moment.Alex frowned. "Can you please stop interrupting us, Larry? What's your problem?"Alex turned to me and asked, "Is he really my friend?"I just smiled, not wanting to get involved in their conversation.Larry apologized, bowing his head slightly. "I'm sorry, boss. I didn't mean to interrupt. I'm just being cautious. There might be someone in the crowd trying to harm you."Alex looked around, as if searching for potential threats. "Really?" he asked me, and I nodded in agreement."That's how many enemies you have," I said.Alex sighed. "Let's go, then."As we entered the car, my phone buzzed with a message. I sighed when I saw who the sender was - my grandmother, still demanding money. I had already given her the funds for her surgery, and she was living comfortabl

Layla's POVWhat does she mean by he killed his own mother? I wondered as I eavesdropped on their conversation. I glued my ears to the door as I heard Alex's grandmother sob.I tiptoed after Alex earlier, he was in a hurry that he didn't notice someone silently following him.“What!” Alex hundred. He must have been taken aback by such revelation.“What do you mean, I killed my mother?” He asked, his voice shaking.Alex's grandmother blew her nose, “you were still a young boy at that time. It must have been out of anger. Since your father just died, we thought you might be grieving.” She paused for a while and I couldn't hold myself, I became impatient. Go on! I thought.“Your mother never cared for you when you were a child. She never loved your father, it was an arranged marriage by your grandfather, but the both of them never loved each other. It was always from one quarrel to another. You practically grew up with me. I had to look after you. Your father loved you dearly. There's no
