LOGINNot one. Not two. But three men. All three are connected in one way or the other. As a struggling lady with bills to pay, I had no time for love. I was married off to the son of a billionaire, Grey Blackwood, to help raise funds for my mother's health. That was when I discovered there was more to this world. The perfect luxurious life that I pictured became a nightmare after discovering I was getting married to a cold man. I was treated with zero regard. However, I found a comforter. A man with love in his heart. A man who respects me. Tony, my husband's best friend. Wrong? I know. But what would you have me do? Now tell me why I suddenly became an apple in the eyes of my husband's father, Jacob. My life became a mess after we had sex in his office. I thought I was doing it to cover up my discoveries about my birth parents. But that one time, turned into a story of forbidden romance. This isn't a folktale. My name is Lyla Thompson. And this is the story of my life…
View MoreLYLAS POV“Grey,” Jacob Blackwood called his son with so much surprise in his tone. He dragged the name until he was facing Grey. The expression on Greys face was one that informed me to leave. I followed my instincts, walking away from his father.Greys hand obstructed my path as he stretched it out. His face didn’t turn to me, instead, they stared at his father with curiosity. “What’s going on?” He asked. “Mr. Blackwood only wanted to…”“I asked my father, pretty,” Grey interrupted me. Did he just call me pretty? That was the first time something sweet came out from his mouth which was directed towards me. All my days in the mansion, he’d barely paid any attention to me. “Your wife was a good pick, son. And I heard she’s good with art,” his father’s smile grew as he covered the gap between him and his son. Grey made a nod, his hand dropping as he joined his father at the center of the balcony. There was tension between them, and for a moment I thought Grey knew. My heart sank as
LYLA’S POVThe norm in every billionaire's mansion was a series of parties to celebrate the small wins. No matter how little or insignificant they might look, a party will always be thrown. I made my way out of the room after getting dressed for about an hour. I had waited for another for Grey’s arrival until I was told he’ll be closing late from work. Todays occasion was Elena’s boutique grand-opening after party. I was more than uninterested to attend it. But it was mandatory for every Blackwood. Janet was already waiting at the door by the time I got there. She and the other servants were dressed in a different uniform. She walked me down the hall and stood by my side for a few more seconds. “When did they say Grey would be arriving?” I asked, scanning the hall. “No specific time regarding Mr. Blackwood’s arrival was given, my lady,” Janet answered. I sighed and took a glass of wine from a waiter who was crossing by. Just as I was about taking a sip, I saw Greys father. His e
I suddenly developed wobbly feet as he was the last person I wanted to see that morning. Hello wife, he suddenly said as he looked up at my eye area. I immediately covered my body with the blanket on the bed. He turned around, locked the door, and started moving slowly towards me. We have an unfinished business and I hope you remember because I will remind you in the process. There was this wicked smirk on his face, hmm you are not that bad after all and at this moment, my heart raced as though it wanted to fall out of my chest, I was already teary and scared. He held on to the blanket which I was already too weak to hold tightly and he slowly unwrapped it. His eyes were fixed on my breast and without hesitance, he grabbed them with both hands and I winced in both pain and this unfamiliar pleasure, don't worry, by the time I'm done, you will scream down the whole Blackwood mansion. Suddenly I got the courage to talk, I'm I'm going somewhere, Grey, please can this wai tt, I wasn't

As I lay restlessly in bed all night, lost in the depths of my thoughts, I weighed the precarious odds and potential benefits of my situation. The tangled web of relationships had captured me completely. Mr. Blackwood's relentless pursuit continued incessantly, despite our familial ties. His persistence both intrigued and unsettled me, casting shadows of doubt on the affinal bond we shared. Is he even aware of the situation we are in?? Does he even respect his son? Oh well, it is a planned marriage, what else would I have expected from such circumstances?As I pondered and fought with my thoughts, a question crossed my mind like lightning. Why me? Why will they use it as a price to help with my mother's bills? It's not like Grey has any feelings towards me, could it be that Mr Blackwood wanted me for himself? Why didn't he just marry me, why would he marry me t
