@Serene004 why does he not pursue her normaly he is always forcing her does he even love her or is it list Plus he has a fiance,he is a jerk but layla be clinging to him like that like I thought girl was good She looks like his mistress
@Cenholi His upbringing was not normal. He doesn't process feelings normally. He got everything perfect, only exception is layla. That shocked his core. Even ritte told claudine not to provoke mathias so he doesn't realize he loves layla. Mathiass thinks its his lu** first hand for layla but later thought his father and grandfather both had mistresses who they really loved, so he thinks its they way of life for an aristocrat like him. His marriage was fixed by his family way before his understanding , he had no say to it. Same goes for Claudine. She also loves Ritte, mathias's cousin but with mathias for the social acceptation. That engagement is engagement of convenience. Layla madly loves him. But she has her pride. Layla could have told him too, bcz in the later chapters everything was visible before her eyes that mathias loves her. She loves him at the same time she can't have him for they status gap, that's why she throws tantrum always. At the same time, if mathias wouldn't force her, he would never get anything from her. Wait for the ending, when mathias will realize he actually loves her what he will do is very satisfying including breaking the engagement. In the mean time, it becomes very toxic, they both are. Its a dark romance story fellas.
