Layla: I've always felt trapped, stuck in a house with a malignant manic bipolar narcissist for my entire life. I've always struggled to have control so the first thing I did when I could leave at twenty-one was to rip myself away from that stupid city. Full of gang violence, drugs, and alcohol, Chicago was never all it was cracked up to be. My friends have tried to convince me to move back home, after five years in Michigan, (especially considering I had just lost my job and apartment there) but I won't change my mind......that was until I meant him. Verne Ares, one of the most powerful men in the Southside of Chicago.
Verne: the amount of times I've considered falling off of one of the multiple buildings I own is unimaginable. The ins and outs of the Mafia world will break even those with the strongest willpower down. The strength that I witnessed when I first encountered Layla threw me off. I'd never once seen a woman who hadn't thrown herself at me because of my looks, status, or money. Her mystique intrigues me.
