[Layla Duet 01] • The Lies Layla Was Told

I used to have dreams of a man in the shadows, I thought it was a dream but it wasn’t. That was the first lie I was told. At the age of seventeen, I woke up Christmas morning, to gunshots instead of presents. I know my life already sounds morbid, and yes that’s how it starts. The one good thing, that came out of me moving in with my aunt is meeting, Cade Teller. I don’t even think I was breathing when I locked eyes with him for the first time. My entire world came to a halt. He was my cousin’s best friend and my new crush. Little did I know, my love life was the least of my worries. My aunt was up to something, and I would do just about anything to find out what it was. She was my mother’s sister, they hated each other and for a good reason. Is there more to their story? Whatever it is, I will not stop until I get the answers I deserve. My mom and dad were taken from me and I want to know why. Who is this man, that has been following me my entire life? Is there anyone I can trust, to help me find answers? All I know is that it's up to me to find out what my aunt is hiding. This secret is monumental but it's ok, because I have Cade, and he is the only person that makes me feel whole again. I just hope he stays…
