"Why? Just why?" Her desperate cries echoed the walls. Even the cement walls around her felt the anguish and betrayal in her sore voice.

"If all this is an act, why the hell did you agree to help me escape Jungkook before my marriage? Why would you go against Jungkook for me? Why did you help me and samuel that day in the mall from Jungkook's men?" She voiced everything without a pause.

A vicious smirk curved his lips.

"Oh! Sweetheart. You are so naive, aren't you?" Justin jeered at her teary face.

Cringe emerged in her face when he used the endearment. It was the same endearment to which she used to blush whenever Justin called her that. Yet, today only disgust wormed her body.

The moment Justin turned his back, her gaze pointed on her wrist shackled to the iron bar. The redness dispersed around her fragile small wrists due to all the struggles. Her anxious green orbs glanced around to find anything that can unlock her. Her search halted when she saw Justin occupying the chair again.

"You already had your chance to suspect me. But you missed it" Justin muttered.

Layla's eyebrows frowned in confusion.

"The moment that bastard revealed my identity to you that I am the sole heir of Denam, I debated that you will raise suspicions on me for hiding my real identity. You surprised me. I never thought you would be that dumb" he paused.

"Just because I told my love for you is pure and I his my real identity from you all because for business, you were so much relieved and believed me" Justin chuckled.

"If you were that desperate for love why the fuck you played hard for five months to accept my proposal and displayed your hesistance everytime I neared you?" He snickered cracking his knuckle.

Silence prevailed in Layla as she remembered the incident when Jungkook unveiled her that Justin is the sole heir of Denam. But she never really cared on the reason why he did that. At that time, only Justin's recovery seemed important to her.

"Why all this drama?" She brokenly whispered.

"Sweetheart I came to you not because I loved you. I met you. I proposed you. My love act. Everything was your Benjamin's plan" Justin spoke as he lighted a cigar.

Those words were simple to him bit for her, a riot bursted inside her.

Her uncle David.

Benjamin.

But why? At that time she never knew Jungkook at time. Only after five months of meeting Justin and two months of dating Justin, that incident happened.

The incident when she was kidnapped and the day she lost her first kiss to him.

Even Diego mentiones her that Benjamin came to know that she was Jungkook's love interest only on that day when she was leaving her aunt's house and open a new chapter in her life with her new job. But that day Jungkook was a step forward and saved her from Benjamin by coercing her into his mansion for the rest of her life.

There is no need for her uncle to plant someone like Justin to be with her.

"What?" She asked confused.

"Benjamin killed your parents" Justin stated as if it was a piece of cake.

The words which left Justin's lips, her mind denied to process. Her brain deserted her to numbness hearing the blunt truth from Justin.

A loud big yawn left Justin's mouth. The look in her face was enough to continue the story. Her lips were not able to form any words.

"Uncle David killed my parents?" She finally opened her mouth.
