Layla sat in the car as she looked out the window enjoying the cool breeze.As the car sped through the city streets, Layla watched the scenery change from tall skyscrapers to lush green trees. She felt a sense of peace, despite the tumultuous events of the day.It had been a long and difficult day, but she felt a sense of hope and possibility as she looked ahead to the future. With Nolan by her side, anything seemed possible.The car turned onto a familiar street, and Layla recognized the neighborhood. They were headed back to the pack.She then noticed him take another route as he diverted.“Where are you going? Do you want to get something.." she asked curiously, picking up the packet of chips, which she began to chew loudly.“I’m going to a goldsmith.. “ he replied, fixing his eyes on the road. "A goldsmith?" Layla asked, raising an eyebrow. "What for?""It's a surprise," Nolan said, a mischievous smile playing on his lips. "You'll have to wait and see."Layla pouted, pretendin
Months have passed and the day for Layla's delivery drew near.She felt like the happiest and luckiest woman on earth.Nolan was the best thing heaven could have ever offered to her.He was supportive and made sure she was comfortable all through her pregnancy. She has two weeks more before the due date and everyone anticipated her delivery.He became the sweetest man and made sure he talked to the baby every night before taking Layla to bed. Nolan gently placed his hand on Layla's swollen belly, feeling the baby move inside. "You are going to be a wonderful mother," he said, his voice full of love. "Our child is so lucky to have you."Layla smiled, her heart filled with joy. "And I am so lucky to have you," she said, her hand resting on top of his. "We are going to be the best parents in the world."" I know right?” He smiled, planting a kiss on her lips and Layla turned to look in the mirror.She frowned on seeing herself, she's grown so bigger and fatter. She almost looked unre
Carla poured some powdery contents into a cup of juice, and she mixed it smiling wickedly.It was high time Layla left this house, and this time Carla had not planned to hurt her but Nolan would throw her out by himself.“Hey..come here.." she flagged down a maid who was passing by as she handed over the cup of juice to her.It was Keissha's party, the one Layla gas organized for her. Layla was having fun and Carla was sure to ruin that fun.“Give this to the queen instead.." she instructed the maid who stared at her suspiciously. The maid looked at Carla, her expression hesitant.“Are you sure you want me to give it to the queen?" She asked, confused. Layla had ashed her for a cup of juice.Carla smiled, trying to reassure the maid. "I'm sure, Layla prefers mango juice, not orange juice. Trust me, she'll love it." Carla tried to convince her.The maid still looked uncertain, but she reluctantly took the cup and began to walk towards Layla.Carla watched her go, feeling a twinge of
Nolan felt his veins pop out and he suddenly became so pissed. Everyone was shocked. It was so hard to believe, why was Layla In bed with another man?The room was deathly silent, the tension thick enough to cut with a knife. Everyone could see the anger in Nolan's eyes, the hurt and betrayal. Without thinking twice, he headed straight for the bed and threw the guard away from Layla as he landed on the ground with a loud thud.The guard winced as he looked at Nolan.“How dare you??" Nolan's voice thundered and a punch landed in the guard's face and blood immediately started flowing out from his nose.Nolan felt his rage bubbling over as he threw punch after punch at the guard. The guard tried to defend himself, but he was no match for Nolan's fury.He groaned in pain as Nolan kept hitting him repeatedly. Then they heard a person moan and everyone fixed their attention on the bed.Layla yawned softly as her eyes slowly fluttered open. She felt a little headache as she was not able to
Nolan was in the dungeon with a bloodied man whom he had tortured so much but kept insisting that he had something going on with Layla. Nolan knew Layla well enough to know that, she would never have done something like that, but the scene was just so realistic, her being on the bed with that guard Jake.He wondered how the fuck Layla got there and the guard kept insisting Layla put him up to it. Nolan felt his head spinning with confusion. He didn't know who to believe, but he knew he couldn't trust the guard. He had been caught red-handed, and he would say anything to get himself out of trouble. But the sight of Layla on the bed with him was burned into his mind, and he couldn't shake the image no matter how hard he tried.He wanted to believe Layla, but he couldn't understand how she could have gotten herself into this situation. He felt lost, like he was in a nightmare he couldn't wake up from.“Who sent you?" He asked for the fiftieth time in a menacing tone. His eyes glared w
Layla looked outside the window hoping that someone would come across the door. It's been three days since Nolan locked her in the room and since then, she had not laid her eyes on him.It was as if she was placed in a lockdown, no one came in to see her, her meal was sent to her and that was all. She badly wanted to meet Nolan and speak to him. She had no idea what happened, she was innocent. She didn't know if he believed her or if he was so angry with her that he did not want to see her face anymore. Layla's mind was racing with questions, her thoughts spiraling. She didn't know what to believe anymore. She didn't know if Nolan trusted her, or if he believed the accusations against her. She knew she was innocent, but she couldn't help but feel like she was being punished for something she didn't do.She couldn't take it anymore. She had to do something, anything, to clear her name. She had to make Nolan see the truth.She rose to her feet, pacing the room. She had to find a way t
“Take care.." Keisha whispered to Layla as she disappeared from there.Layla opened the door and she walked into Nolan's office, she didn't know how to face him, hit she had to him.She saw him there, looking heavenly as ever, he held a cigarette between his fingers.“Nolan.." she called in a cracked voice as fresh tears flowed down her cheeks. Nolan's head snapped up, and he dropped the cigarette in surprise. "Layla?" he called, his voice filled with shock. He stood up, walking towards her. "What are you doing here? You shouldn't be up and about.""I had to see you," Layla said, her voice breaking. "I have to tell you the truth. I didn't cheat on you and never will. I don't know how I got there..” she sobbed explaining herself.“Why are you here? I thought I asked you to stay indoors.." he asked, wiping the tears off the corner of her eyes.“How can you be so cruel.." a sob slipped her lips.“You left me in the room and didn't even speak to me nor gave me a chance to explain myse
“How dare you?" Nolan's blue eyes blazed in anger as he stared at Carla with disappointment. She was the culprit.She knew how he operated so well that she was able to clean her tracks so she'd never be caught. Nolan could feel his wolf stirring, ready to take control. He could feel the anger and betrayal boiling up inside him, and he knew he had to stay in control. He couldn't let his emotions get the better of him, no matter how much he wanted to.“You did it right?" He asked in a low voice as Carla suddenly went pale.“You set Layla up and just have added something to her drink?" He asked and Carll who looked like she had seen a ghost started looking for ways to vindicate herself. Carla's eyes widened, and her mouth opened and closed like a fish out of water. She seemed to be at a loss for words, and Nolan's suspicion grew. "No," she denied, her voice shaking. "I didn't do anything like that. Why would you even think that?"Nolan narrowed his eyes, studying her. "You've never b
