| Layla were completely stunned by the opulence of the Presidential Suite.
The Hegal Hotel was the finest hotel in Sans City, owned by the Carter family, and luxury was its signature. And the Presidential Suite! That was luxury at its peak
Overjoyed, the two barely contained their excitement. The fire between the burned hotter, and soon, it ignited into a full blaze,
So, when Zoe and William stormed into the hotel to catch someone in the act, the sight that greeted them was Adrian and Layla tangled up Mogether
Their clothes had long been discarded. The moment Adrian heard the knocking, he grabbed the blanket frantically, pulling it over both of them.
But even then, the sheer panat left them pale as ghosts.
William was so stunned that the moment he caught a glimpse of Layla’s hare shoulder, he turned away immediately Walking in on his son like this. What kind of nightmare was this?

Zoe hadn’t mad Adrian about tonight’s little
scheme.”
The hospital had be
had been busy lately, and there was no need–photos would be enough proof
But never in her wildest dreams did she think Adrian would be the one in the hotel room. He had lied. He wasn’t working late–he was here.
Layla was so mortified at being cauglu by Zoe and William that she buried herself under the covers, ton ashamed to show her face.
Meanwhile, Adrian’s face was burning. He asked, “Mom, Dad–what are you doing here?”
“None of this makes sense. How do they know I’m here! And why do they barge in like this? Adrian muttered.
Before he could make sense of it, I stepped inside. The moment they saw her, every single person in the room went deathly pale.
Tus didn’t speak. She just raised her phone and started snapping pictures and recording videos, capturing the moment in perfect chrity.
Sering this, Adrian was livid. He scrambled to shield Layla’s face and snapped, “Isis! What the hell are you doing?
Isis replied calmly, “Documenting the romantic surprise you planned for me.”
Adrian frowned. “What surprise! I never-
His garlanded on Zoe, her sone light but chilling. “Your mother said you booked a romantic surprise for me tonight. Turns out, this was it. How… exciting”
Zoe stiffened. Panic flashed across her face. “No, no, this is a misunderstanding-
“Misunderstanding“” Isis laughed. “They’re naked in bed together. What’s there to misunderstand? What are you going to say they were just talking under the covers!”
“Should we pull the blanket off and check? If they’re innocent. I’ll believe you. Isis continued.
“T” Adrian couldn’t take it anymore and shouted at her.
Isis’s eyes turned to are. “Don’t yell at me. What do you think you’re in the right here? Or are you trying to bring in a whole crowd to witness your cheating scandal**
This Zor quickly cut in before Adrian could make things worse,
“Trough of your arrogance Zor snapped. “Just because your family has money, you think you can humiliate your husband like this? William and I putand you! We wanted to save your marriage, to keep your family intact! And this is how you repay us?”
his woffed. Tm the ungrateful one! Mrs. Anderson, I haven’t even started on you yet. What exactly are you doing here tonight!”
Adrian exprssion darkened Right. Why are my parents heret
ret Why have they come to Regal Hotel of all places?”
Zor faltered, panic creeping in again.

When I finished Adrian’s face twisted in shock
completely exposed, felt the shame creeping in, but she refused to back down. That’s not true! Stop making things up!”
“Oh!” I arched a brow “Then tell me why are you here?”
Zor scrambled for an excuse “Someone told me
they
saw you here with another man! I came to check for myself?”
Isis didn’t even blink. “Who told you! And who gave you the room key? Should I remind you? This hotel has security cameras. Your lies are pathetic”
Zoe clenched her Ests, shaking with rage, but she had nothing to say. Adrian, still processing everything, barely noticed Layla shifting beside him
trap for you. You set us up. You made the hotel switch
Layla slowly lifted her head hatred burning in her eyes. “Sa.. this room was supposed to be a trap
u’re the one who had our room changed to the Presidential Suite!
The realization hit her like a brick wall. Layla added. This was your doing! You’re You’re disgusting. Isis! You’re the real villain here!”
Adrian finally pieced it together, too. A free upgrade? That had never made sense. So, it had been Isis all along.
Fury overtook him. Adrian yelled. “Isis I thought you were kind and gende! I never knew you were this vicious!”
Hearing this, Isis let out a slow, amused exhale. I set you up! Do I make you cheat? Do I force
ce you to sleep together! All I did was upgrade your room. What you do inside it, that’s all you. This is your mess, Own IL”
Adrian opened his mouth, but no words came out. There was nothing to say. He had walked straight into this.
Layla, however, was seething. Humiliation clawed at her insides. She thought, Why? Adrian and are in love! Why does it feel like I’m the one caught in an affair!
1 am not in the wrong. I’ve done nothing wrong. True love isn’t wrong
Layla didn’t blame herself, nor did she blame Adrian. In fact, she didn’t even think that it was wrong for William and Zoe to have designed and framed Is She just hated Isis and blamed her for everything!
Hatred burned in Layla’s eyes. She tightened the blanket around her, her shoulders straightening despite the weight of the situation.
Layla looked down at us with disdain. “Spare me the self–righteous act. What you think you’re better than me! Adrian loves me—what’s wrong with that?”
Layla continued her voice dripped with condescension. “You’re pathetic, Isis. A woman with no ambition, no purpose. Your whole life revolves around a man and a marriage. I pity you”
Ius let out a cold, humorless laugh. Ridiculous! You think I need validation from a homewrecker!”
The word hit Layla like a slap. Her face twisted with fury. “I’m not a homewrecker Adrian and I love each other You’re the one clinging to a marriage that was never yours to begin with!”
Ive her a look of pure disgust. She demanded. “You knew he was married. You went after him anyway. And you think that makes you the good
