268 Ayla's Scheme (2)

Ayla couldn't believe her ears when she heard the news about Alistair and her cousin, Adrienne. It felt like a dagger to her heart, shattering all her hopes and dreams of being with him. She had been carrying a torch for him for what seemed like an eternity, quietly nursing her feelings and hoping he would see her in a different light one day. The thought of him ending up with another woman was unbearable for her.

But now, faced with the reality of him planning to marry her cousin, Ayla knew she couldn't just stand by and watch. Determined to fight for what she believed was rightfully hers, she hatched a daring plan to seduce him that night. 

Once she was done filming the scenes for her recent film project, Ayla carefully plotted her every move. She knew that drugging him was risky, but she felt it was her only chance to make him see the depth of her love. She hired a private investigator to track his recent schedule.
