After Layla's parents died when she was nine and her brother was three, she was left alone to take care of themselves. Luckily they were both taken in by a new family.

Soon enough, Layla finds herself in a prison cell with no hope of anyone busting her out; that was until the person who owned the whole country took notice of her. What will become of her and her brother? And how would they survive in these cruel conditions?

He stood up from his seat and walked over to me, squatting down to my level. "Hey, hey." He softly whispered his hands holding both of my mines, softly caressing them with his thumb. "Please don't cry, por favor." He reached a hand to my face and gently wiped the tears. "I-I don't want you to leave me alone." My voice breaking and my vision filling with tears.
