CHAPTER 6
THE BANQUET
Layla’s POV
When we arrive at the banquet, I’m quite surprised by how everything is so elegantly decorated from the ceilings down to the fountain in the center of the venue.
Layla: Wow I thought you said you needed help decorating.
Angelina: (Laughing) Ok I might have lied about that, but I do need you.
Layla: (Eyebrow raised) Why?
Angelina: Marcus will be here and since you made him your b***h last time maybe you can keep him in line.
Lily: Please!
Layla: (Laughing) I did not, Marcus was flirting too much and I wasn't interested, and he got too handsy, so I knocked some sense into him.
Angelina: I know everyone knows.
Lily: And Marcus has been smitten with you ever since, but I heard he just recently got married.
Angelina: (Thinking) More like he found his Mate.
Layla: Thank God, so that means he’ll behave then.
Angelina: Maybe all I know he’s still attracted to you and tonight he won’t take his eyes off you even with his wife by his side.
Layla: Eww gross.
Lily: Especially dressed like that if you thought he was handsy before you better brace yourself.
While everyone is still arriving, I go to grab some champagne as I’m sipping slowly, I’m hit with a familiar scent of fresh rain and the earthy forest my heart starts racing I’m looking around and no Liam. Then I see Marcus coming my way I roll my eyes and down my champagne and as soon as I reach for another he’s right in front of me.
End POV
Marcus: I wasn't expecting to see you here but I’m glad you came you look stunning
Marcus grabs Layla’s hand placing a kiss lightly on her knuckles.
Layla: Thank you and congratulations.
Marcus: (Scrunched eyebrows in confusion) On what?
Layla: I heard you were recently just married.
Marcus: Oh, thank you, she is amazing and beautiful, but she’s not you. I love how strong, confident, intelligent and powerful you are.
Layla: (I Inwardly groan) (Speaking in a low tone not to draw attention) Are you freaking serious your married and you still flirt with me have you no respect for your wife.
Marcus: In all honesty, I’m only with her because I have to be.
Layla: Ugg you disgust me.
Layla: (Thinking) What did he mean because he has to be.
Marcus: (Grabbing Layla’s wrist) You wouldn't say that if you gave me a chance the things I could do to you would have you begging for more. If only you let me make you mine.
Layla Growls and grabs Marcus’s wrist and snaps it then
head butts him and knees him in the groin.
Layla: Don't you ever touch me again asshole.
Marcus POV

Goddess, I want her so bad once I mark her by force, she’ll submit to me.
End POV
Marcus: (Low growl) I love it when you're feisty. I’m going to enjoy breaking you.
Layla: (Smirking) You really think you can break me. Do you even know that everyone here calls you my b***h?
Marcus is now so angry with his good hand he grabs Layla’s Arm with such force she winces.
Marcus: You were saying.
