Chapter 72: A Former Police Officer.
Layla gasped and turned around, her grip on Paige loosening. The elderly housekeeper stood behind them, alarm flashing in her eyes. “Wh…what are you doing?”“Oh, it's nothing, we're just playing around,” Layla straightened with a chuckle. She patted Paige's hair and pulled her closer in an awkward embrace. “Right, Paige?”The housekeeper lowered her brows in suspicion, walking towards Paige. “Are you okay, miss?” She sent Layla a hard glare. “If it was just a play, what are these scars and bruises on her face?"Irritated, Layla snapped. “Shut up! When did an ordinary maid started asking questions in this house?”“The young master will be informed of this,” She replied curtly as she tucked an arm around Paige's elbow for support. She led her to the bed and lowered her slowly. “Are you okay?” She asked and Paige nodded, whimpering in pain.Layla scoffed and muttered under her breath. “Gosh, what a manipulative bitch.” Loudly, she raged. “Good at pretending, are you? Why don't you go ahe
Chapter 71: In Your Own Coins
“Y…you're insane…” Layla stuttered, feeling the blood drain from her body.Paige chuckled, a low humourless sound. “That's you being ungrateful. Most people would say thank you. I feel bad,”“G…et out of my party or I'll kill you,”“Really? You'd just pick up a knife and slice it through my skin?” Paige said in a sarcastic tone, demonstrating the movement of a knife with her hands. “No darling,” She said, brushing Layla's hair gently. “People will think you're a psychopath,”“You won't get away with this, I promise,” Layla said, the tears almost dropping from her eyes.“I can't wait for your next move,” Paige laughed as she walked to the stage. She picked up a microphone and waved to the murmuring crowd. “Ladies and gentlemen, a moment please...”It took a few minutes of pleading before silence settled upon the guests, each waiting for what she had to say. When Paige noticed the attention, she cleared her throat. “Guys, I appreciate your time and effort in coming here to support Layla
Chapter 70: Happy Humiliation, Layla.
The man repeated his words and Layla couldn't help but scoff hard. “What do you mean all the foods and drinks I ordered at my own party were sold out?! Is that a joke? And I'm to vacate this hall in ten minutes?” She ran a hand through her hair in frustration. “Are you kidding me?! Call me your fucking manager, it seems you don't know your job,"Shocked gasps flew across the room and the man sighed. “I'm sorry, ma'am, but those are direct orders,"“You must be kidding me. Direct orders from who exactly?! Who the fuck wants to humiliate me at my own party? Are you insane?”The man shook his head, refusing to answer the question. Instead he said. “Please leave the premises in ten minutes or we'll involve security,”Layla scoffed. “I'm not leaving until you tell me what the hell is going on! I paid for everything in full, so don't you dare think that you can kick me out of my own party,”“We have every right to do so. The hall is no longer yours as it has been bought by someone else. We
Chapter 69: Proud Moments.
The hotel was thick with excitement as music blared from the speakers. The night air was cold and people flooded the hall in their best clothes. Layla stood in a corner of the room smiling widely as she looked around in admiration. Gosh, she was able to pull this off finally. Everywhere was screaming luxury.Around her, people swayed their bodies to the melody from the music. The ambiance and setting of the hall was really cool. And the decorations? Perfect.From the side of her eye, she saw Paige walk into the room and instantly, her mood changed. The bitch was dressed in a glittering gold dress that kept attracting attention. Her ass jiggled as she walked in that calm, confident manner that made the breath in Layla's throat feel tight.“That psycho, I thought she came here to sing. Why dress like the main character?!” She hissed under her breath as she stormed towards her. “Hi, birthday girl,” Paige smiled, but anyone with eyes could see the smile was fake."What the hell were you
Chapter 68: Challenge Accepted Or Not?
The sharp shrill from Layla's phone made her jerk from her deep sleep and she cursed whoever was calling her at that moment. “Damn it,” She muttered as she picked up. “Gosh Ryan? I thought I left you a text yesterday not to call—”“Are you happy with him? Is that what this is?” Ryan said and Layla could hear the frustration in his voice. She rolled her eyes. There he goes again. He could never understand.“I'm only here for my treatments, nothing more,” She groaned in a tired voice.“Don't fuck with me,” He hissed. “You can get the same treatment over here. Be for real, Layla, there's something going on!”“You're overthinking this whole thing. It's not that deep,” Layla shrugged nonchalantly, even though she knew that it would be difficult to convince Ryan.“Then come home. I'll take you to the best hospitals and you'd get excellent treatments—”“It's not about the treatment, babe,” She cut him short, taking in a deep breath like the remaining words had stuck in her throat. “This is a
Chapter 67: A Witch In Our Midst.
If Layla was excited, she didn't show it. She just nodded and allowed her eyes to wander around the big house. Her breath caught in her throat at the opulence that Adrian now enjoyed and for some reasons, sadness settled in her stomach.When she looked up, Adrian was already looking at her with those seductive eyes of his. She felt exposed, like he could see right through her. Like he knew her thoughts and what she was planning.Right then, her body remembered his touch in ways her mind refused to. Her cheeks burned as her thoughts spiraled. It was really crazy. How could she want him again? Didn't every feeling for him die the moment she betrayed him? How could she feel drawn to him again like she wanted him more, when her entire life, she had trained herself to hate him.“Don't look at me like that. It's weird,” Adrian's voice snapped at her and she swallowed in embarrassment, dragging her eyes away.“I'm just tired,” She sighed.“Well, that's doesn't sound like my business. You're
