The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die/Eli Sole

“My friends keep saying that Xena Xander is some innocent sweetheart. What a joke! What kind of innocent girl gets pregnant out of nowhere?”“Did you guys see the news? Xena was photographed at the hospital yesterday for a check-up. Even our hospital made it to the trending list!” *Hearing this, Layla stopped listening. She pulled out her phone, glanced at the trending topics, and headed outside to buy breakfast. Just like the nurses said, the top trending topic was “Xena Xander Pregnant.” The second was “St. North Hospital.”The internet was in an uproar. The headlines were everywhere, and the discussion was unstoppable. This was the biggest wave of attention Xena had received since entering the entertainment industry. Layla frowned slightly. She was certain someone was pushing this story behind the scenes. And she had no doubt that Xena was enjoying every bit of it. She had underestimated her sister. Xena would clearly stop at nothing to achieve her goa

The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die/Eli Sole

For three days, there wasn’t a single trace of Xena.Just as everyone was busy speculating about her whereabouts, a message popped up on everyone’s phone: the address of St. North Hospital.Given the circumstances, no one wanted to ignore a potential lead. They immediately rushed to the hospital.A large crowd arrived together, only to see Mr. Perry Sr. standing in the middle of the lobby, a few bodyguards behind him.Sean spoke without thinking. “Grandpa? What are you doing here?”Mr. Perry Sr. shot him a glare. “I’m here to clean up your mess.”“I…”Sean’s heart sank. This was bad. If his grandfather knew, then it was all over.Meanwhile, the Xander family was still completely in the dark. What was this whole scene supposed to mean?Just then, Layla walked in, slightly late. She took one look around the room, quickly piecing things together, and let out a quiet sigh of relief.When Mr. Perry Sr. had called her and asked her to come to the hospital, she had worried somethi

Moral guilt-tripping? Seriously? Layla rolled her eyes and didn’t bother holding back. “Funny how you didn’t remember I was your sister when you were having the time of your life in what was supposed to be mine and Sean's bed.“But now that there’s a mess to clean up, you suddenly care about sisterhood?”Xena froze, completely blindsided. She hadn’t expected Layla to come at her so directly—let alone bring up the humiliating fact about the bed. “What?” Mr. Perry Sr.’s expression darkened. “Layla, you knew that they were…?” He didn’t even finish the sentence. It was too shameful to say out loud.Mr. Perry Sr. had seen plenty in his life, but even he felt his face burn with embarrassment. His fury immediately shifted toward Sean. “You disgraceful idiot!“That baby’s almost two months along! And when I asked you to earn Layla’s forgiveness, you swore you would! Turns out you were…you were…” His chest tightened, leaving him momentarily speechless. Layla quickly reached o

Mr. Perry Sr.’s expression darkened. “What exactly are you trying to say?” “I’m just speaking as a father, trying to fight for what’s fair for my daughter.” Mr. Xander’s voice was firm and righteous, a stark contrast to the man who had been stunned just days ago when he first heard about Xena’s pregnancy. The Xander family stared at him in surprise. Chris furrowed his brows, already guessing what his father was getting at. The situation was an absolute mess, but the baby Xena was carrying was now the only remaining tie between the Xander and Perry families. Unlike Layla, who was unpredictable and independent, Mr. Xander saw this as a chance to secure that connection. “When Layla was engaged to Sean, he didn’t cherish her, and the engagement was called off. Now people laugh at my daughter whenever they talk about it. “And now Xena’s pregnant. If Sean doesn’t take responsibility, she’ll have lost a child before she’s even had her first real relationship. How is she s

“Are you blind?” Mr. Perry Sr. stepped in front of Layla protectively. “It was her mother who hit her first!” Mrs. Xander broke down, tears streaming down her face. Her hand trembled as she pointed at Layla. “How did I end up with a daughter like you? I must've been cursed a thousand times over to give birth to someone like you!“You’ve got no loyalty to your family, just jealousy and spite! You’re nothing but a cold-hearted monster!” “Shut up!” Mr. Perry Sr.’s eyes blazed with fury. “The real tragedy here is that Layla has to call people like you her family.” “Grandpa Perry…” Layla called out softly, trying to say something, but the world around her tilted. Her vision blurred, and the words got stuck in her throat. Alarm flashed across Mr. Perry Sr.’s face. “Layla? What’s wrong?” Suddenly, a figure swept in like a cold gust of wind. Before anyone could react, Layla was lifted into someone's arms. Only when the shock wore off did everyone realize who it was—Wil

Inside the consultation room, Xena held a pair of scissors to her neck, her eyes wild with desperation. “Don’t you dare touch my baby!” she screamed. “Where’s Sean? I want to see him! This is his child too. He can’t just abandon us like this!” The blade’s tip pressed into her skin, drawing a thin line of blood. Mrs. Xander forgot all about the pain in her swollen face. Her eyes reddened as she pleaded, “Xena, sweetheart, please—put the scissors down, okay? You’re scaring me.” Mr. Xander’s voice hardened. “Put it down! We can talk this through.” Shane stepped forward, voice tight with worry. “Xena, you’re risking your life for nothing. Don’t do this. Sean isn’t worth it.” But Xena wasn’t listening. Tears streamed down her face as she cried, “No! I want to see Sean!” As if on cue, Sean walked into the room. Her eyes lit up instantly. “Sean! I knew you wouldn’t just sit back and let them hurt our baby!” Sean’s jaw tightened. “I told you from the start to get

Chris hadn’t fully understood the situation until now. But after watching everything unfold, the pieces started clicking into place. His gaze shifted to Xena, the disgust unmistakable in his eyes. “You know exactly how this baby came to be,” he said coldly. “And whether you keep it or not isn’t just up to you.” Then his eyes swept across the other Xander family members. “And what about Layla? None of you knew what was going on with her?” Silence. Shane instinctively looked away but wasn’t quick enough. Chris caught him immediately. “You. Speak. What the hell’s going on?” Shane winced and mumbled under his breath, “Sean mentioned that Layla had a brain tumor and she might not have much time left.” “What?” Chris's voice shot up in disbelief. “And you still let her live out there on her own? Why the hell didn’t anyone tell me?” “Well…” Shane’s head dropped lower. His voice was barely louder than a mosquito’s buzz. “We all thought she was faking it.” “Unbelievabl

The door to the consultation room swung open, and Mr. Perry Sr. stepped out. His back was slightly hunched with age, but in that moment, he stood as solid and unyielding as a mountain, blocking Sean's path.“You’ve got some nerve showing up here,” he said coldly.“Grandpa, I know I messed up…” Sean’s voice cracked with anguish. “I never should’ve doubted you. Please—just let me see Layla.”“It’s not me stopping you. It’s Layla. She doesn’t want to see you.”Mr. Perry Sr.’s expression darkened, his tone laced with disappointment. “When I first discovered the truth, I told you to go and beg for her forgiveness. I thought you’d step up. But instead? You got someone else pregnant.”He slammed his cane against the tiled floor with a sharp crack. “You’ve gone from bad to worse, Sean. Because of you, I don’t even have the dignity to face her.”Mr. Perry Sr. turned away, his breath unsteady with suppressed rage.Sean panicked and reached out to grab his arm. “Grandpa, please! Don’t just

“I’ll go get Levi,” William said, turning to leave. But before he could step away, Layla reached out and grabbed his wrist. “No…don’t.” She swallowed hard, forcing a smile. “This is normal. The nausea, the vomiting…it’ll pass after a few more rounds.” William stared at the forced smile on her pale, exhausted face. His chest tightened, as though something sharp was gripping his heart. For a split second, he wished he could take her place—to bear the pain for her. “Damn it, why her?” William silently remarked.After a long, tense silence, William gently pulled his wrist free. “I’ll have someone get you something sweet to ease the nausea.” Just then, the door swung open, and Carter strolled in, carrying a shopping bag. His usual carefree attitude was on full display. “Uncle William, those Xander family idiots are still hanging around outside,” he said, shaking his head. “No idea who they’re trying to fool with that act.” He stopped mid-sentence when he noticed

Chapter 70

The CEO’s Obsession: Layla, You’re Not Allowed to Die/Eli Sole

Layla stopped five steps away, her eyes sweeping across the group in front of her. Without exception, every face reflected guilt. The sight made her laugh. Her lips twisted into a mocking smile. “What’s with the crocodile tears?“If I die, shouldn’t you be happy? Isn’t that what you’ve all been waiting for?” Her voice turned sharper, each word laced with sarcasm. “When I’m gone, the Xander family will finally have one daughter, one precious little sister. Just one. Isn’t that exactly what you wanted?” “No…it’s not like that…” Mrs. Xander burst into tears and took a shaky step forward, only to be stopped by the bodyguards forming a wall in front of Layla. She stretched out a trembling hand toward her daughter. “Layla, please…come home with me, okay? I was wrong. I swear I’ll make it up to you.” Chris stepped beside his mother, his tone low and conciliatory. “Layla, no matter what’s happened, we’re still family. We should face this together.“The past is the past.
