//Publishing under Wattpad Creator's Program// Abandoned and discarded In her previous life Layla hoped to have the pure love of her father, affection of her brothers and an ounce of care of her fiancee but just maybe it was too much to ask, for she could not become her sister. After becoming a political tool in the hands of her family and being an object of contempt for her fiancee she finally succumbed to pain and misery dying at the age of twenty five. In this life she would be as indifferent to them as they were to her once and to escape from the shackles she would even walk into the lair of her father's enemy and become his bride. She will become the obsession of the King of Ardos even when it means that his passion and desire may consume her soul. She will become the sweet, innocent pet of Emperor Icarus. "Come little bird, cry for me tonight."

John Osborne has a promising career with the War Office and lacks for nothing. Except, possibly, a wife. Unfortunately, the woman he wants only has eyes for someone else. When a shared friend offers to help him win his love's heart--if only he will assist her on a case--he reluctantly agrees. He can put up with their grating presence if it affords him the chance of the happily ever after he so desperately craves. Lady Mary Kinson is happily counting down the days until she will officially be considered 'on the shelf'. Spinsterhood is looking rather appealing when getting married means giving up everything and trusting your husband to care for you. She'd rather use her dowry for a quiet life on her own. Until her younger sister does the unthinkable and Mary has to enlist the help of a friend to save her family from ruin.

We are married for almost 5 years. That five years was happy and also great. Until I found out that he has a daughter from another woman I'm dying, but does he know? (This is a Short Story)
