Layla's POV
My voice echoed, and I felt the air go cold.
I held the hem of my clothes, and he turned to look at me.
“What did you say?” his icy voice made me shiver.
“I said I wanted a divorce,” I repeated fearlessly.
“You think you have the right to ask for a divorce?” he sneered.
“I am not done making your life miserable, like your dad made mine fourteen years ago.” I could feel the hurt in his voice as he spoke.
I suddenly realized that something serious must have happened; I felt pain in his voice.
I never knew Dominic Foster felt pain.
But I wasn’t going to continue being stepped on.
“Remember you promised me a wish when I helped with your insomnia,” I said, before I could stop myself.
“Yes, I did,”
“I want a divorce,” I repeated.
“Anything but divorce.” His eyes flashed with coldness, and he walked away.
Dominic Foster had this unapproachable aura, which made people afraid to come near him.
Being the most powerful in the country, people think he is invincible, but it’s far from the truth.
I have been living with him for a few days, and noticed he had his emotional trauma, which is probably tied to my dad and the reason he married me.
I got a surprise for Maisie today, it’s going to be so wonderful seeing her beloved Dominic Foster coaxing me.
I had to go to Garrison Foster to explain what was going on.
He didn’t tell me about what happened. I needed answers, even if it meant forcefully using hypnosis to get him to spill the truth.
That’s it, why didn’t I think about this? I could hypnotize Maisie to tell me about Raina
Later at noon,
I looked for Maisie and finally found her heading towards the exit.
“Where was she going?” I thought, knowing Maisie, this was going to be juicy.
I sneaked out of the house and tailed her.
She stopped at the back of an alley, and she looked around to see if anyone was following her.
I sneered, Extra careful are we?, What are you hiding, Maisie? I knew this was going to be big.
The next thing I saw shocked me to my bones.
My dad was with Maisie, didn’t she hate my dad for what he did to Dominic Foster?
I leaned in closer to hear what they were talking about.
“How did Raina come back? I thought she left,” Maisie’s angry voice echoed.
“Well, I don’t know about that, you just need to continue stealing information from Dominic Foster, and I promise not to tell Dominic Foster what happened fourteen years ago and how Selina died.” My dad’s whispering voice reached my ears.
I had lots of questions.
My dad knew Maisie?
He knew she bullied Raina?
Who was Selina?
And how did she die?
I felt like I had been pulled into a whirlwind of lies and deceit, and there was no end to the shocking revelation.
It amused me that the person Dominic Foster cherished was a backstabber.
This just keeps getting better, I thought.
I had heard enough. I went back to the Fosters’ villa, trying to process everything.
Later at night,
I was tired of thinking about what happened a few hours ago.
I expected it from my dad, but Maisie, it means she was involved with what happened fourteen years ago.
Dominic Foster seemed to have some misunderstanding about what happened. Could that be the reason Dominic Foster had been spoon-feeding her?
My head was throbbing with pain, so I went into the shower to take a refreshing bath.
After all, this was going to be a long night.
I smirked, I threw some pyjamas on, strode out and went to look for Dominic Foster.
Why was it so hard to see someone you live in the same house with? I felt hot air coming out of my nose.
I finally found his study. I walked in without knocking to annoy him, as soon as he set his eyes on me, it turned pitch black.
Did he hate me that much?
I really couldn’t be bothered with that right now.
I went over to his workspace.
“What are you doing here?” his voice sounded like a ticking time bomb.
“I came to see how you were doing.” I couldn’t help but gag at my pretentious voice.
I pulled a chair nearby and sat opposite him.
I suddenly pulled his tie, bringing him closer to me, and he looked shocked.
I could tell if I didn’t hypnotize him now, I’ll be cooked.
I looked him in the eye and said,
“You love Raina, you love Raina and nobody else.”
He stared at me.
It made me wonder if it worked.
I got my answer soon enough because he suddenly pounced on me and kissed me.
“No!!, my beautiful red cherry lips,” I cried internally.
Well, now I knew it worked, I was smiling, my face looked like a painting.
I made Dominic Foster obsessed with me.
Now all I have to do is make Maisie white miserable.
Dominic Foster suddenly jumped and landed right on top of me.
He got out of control when his hand slid into my shirt and started playing with my boobs.
“Ahh… uhm,” I let out a moan, desire flashed through my eyes.
I felt my body react to his touch, and I burned with need and desire.
Well, it wouldn’t be bad to have a little pleasure even if I were still a virgin.
He suddenly smacked his lips against mine, kissing me aggressively, and I responded.
His tongue slid to the back of my ear, which was my sensitive spot.
“Ahnn uhmm, Dominic F.. Foster,” my moans were too loud.
Then I basked in endless pleasure throughout the night.
I dehypnotized him and left him where I saw him.
Darn it!
I was so immersed in the pleasure that I forgot the reason I hypnotized him in the first place, to deal with Maisie white.
“Raina Ross, what did you do last night?” Dominic Foster’s icy voice made my world flipped, and my heart stopped. Did he remember?
Layla’s POVI had never been so glad to be his fake wife like I was now.He walked towards me, each step he took screamed terror, and he carried an oppressive and chilling aura.Enough to make anyone shiver in their spot.“Who are you?” The middle-aged woman asked, oblivious to the man she was speaking to.“Tina, I think he might be her husband,” Luke whispered, but loud enough to be heard.“Yes, he is,” I said, screaming from the tree I was tied to.Dominic Foster signaled Xander to untie me.My organs as been squashed by the rope. It was big and tight.I walked up to Dominic Foster and hid behind his back.Pretending to be weak is the right approach for now.“So what if he is your husband? You have to pay for driving into the me. Her ignorance was too glaring.Dominic Foster stared at me, waiting for an explanation.I didn’t give him any because I didn’t think he deserved one.“Are there any C.C.T.V. cameras around here?” he asked, ignoring Tina.“Do you think this is a big establis
I had a feeling he doubted his own words.He seemed to believe that I couldn't be the renowned Mr. Honey, but he still chose to ask.“Mr. Foster, the world sees me as Mr. Honey, but you just called me a name I don’t recognize.” I changed my tone of speaking to a French accent.I thought this would prevent him from finding out more about my identities.He didn’t speak, but his eyes followed me, watching me every time.I was showing off one of my priceless works to a client, which was known as the English moon.Many businessmen offered to buy it at a high price, but I never sold it, thinking they didn’t deserve my painting Now it was out for auction because I needed money to find Raina, and I couldn’t use any of my account, so I wouldn’t be found out.It was time for the auction, and I walked past Dominic Foster, his hand brushing mine, and I could feel butterflies in my stomach.Don’t forget what he did to you, Layla, I cautioned myself.I walked over to the podium and set my painting
Layla’s POVI stopped in my tracks. What was I forgetting? Realizing he may be pulling my leg, I masked my expression and turned and giving him an expressionless gaze. He seemed shocked by the coldness radiating from me. If I could, I would have strangled him to death. I stared at him for a long time, and he finally opened his mouth to speak. “Raina… I … I’m…” his stuttering was getting on my nerves. I snorted and left. It was past midnight, and I kept tossing and turning, thinking where Raina could be. I was tired of living her life. I was in a miserable state when I heard a knock at the door. I mumbled lazily and went to open the door. My eyes were barely open. “Madame” Hara’s voice made me widen my eyes. “Yeah.. what do you want?” I yawned lazily. “Thanks for saving me, even though I framed you,” she said with tears gathering in her eyes. “I knew you didn’t do it out of your own free will, it wasn’t your fault,” I said, trying to soothe her. “I know it’s
I opened my eyes, but I wasn’t used to the light yet, so I quickly shut them back.I tried adapting to my environment.I noticed I was in a hospital room.“What happened?” I murmured.Then all my memories came rushing back like a gushing stream.I turned livid and clenched my fists, my nails digging into my palms.The doctor suddenly walked in,Mr. Foster, Miss. Ross has been in a coma for two weeks.I almost gasped loudly.That long, at least I lived two more weeks, I was secretly pleased with my comaI thought of this as an opportunity to make Maisie and Dominic Foster pay.Let the show begin, I inwardly smirked.I gradually opened my eyes, pretending I just woke up.“She’s awake,” the doctor exclaimed.My eyes darted around the room, searching for Dominic Foster.I was instinctively afraid of him.I certainly didn’t want to go back to the dungeon; it was a nightmare. My body was covered with marks and scars telling the tale of what I had been through.That being said, I hated Domin
Dominic’s POVThe growing audacity Raina Ross was showing each day kept leaving me stunned.Ever since she came back, she had changed.She wasn’t greedy, selfish like she used to be. If it wasn’t for the face I kept seeing, I would have completely doubted her identity.She didn’t cling, make lavish dishes for me like she used to. She even stopped being a corrupt lawyer.I was growing fond of her, I didn’t want to, but I couldn’t control it.Maisie has been acting strange lately, or was she always like this?She couldn’t be; she saved my life 14 years ago.She was innocent, unlike the woman in front of me.I suddenly snorted at the thought that I could ever grow fond of Raina Ross.She was the daughter of a murderer, and I will stop at nothing to ruin her life.It seemed she was tired of living, as she slapped me.My eyes turned icy, cold, and I was filled with murderous intent.She locked eyes for a moment, all I could see was hatred, pure hatred.What right did she have to hate me?O
Layla’s POVMy body ached all over.I needed to get a good night’s rest.I don’t know why I had a bad feeling about tomorrow.I headed to my bedroom and took a refreshing bath, and went to bed.In the morning,A ray of sunshine shone through my face, I was mentally drained, and I couldn’t believe it was morning already. I could swear I had bags under my eyes. I dragged my feet towards the bathroom and freshen up, and I was heading towards the breakfast table when I met Maisie’s resentful gaze, and I stuck out my tongue at her.She gave me a “you’re not normal” kind of look.I was walking down the stairs when my legs suddenly slipped on something, and my butt was about to hit the ground hard.The expected pain never came. I opened my eyes to see Dominic Foster holding me in his arms.“You are careless, just make sure you don’t die in my house.” His voice rang through my ears.I felt my cheeks burn, and my face turned bright red as I dashed towards the breakfast table.“Raina, make me c
