Layla was socializing with some of the guests when she saw him.
Duanmu Wei Wu.
The only man she had ever been with and the father of her only child.
"He's still as rigid as before..." Layla thought with a soft chuckle as she watched Lt. General Duanmu talked to one of the guests while his eldest son stood next to him.
....
9 years ago, Layla had just broken up with her girlfriend who cheated on her with her current partner, the Judge. It was during Valentine's Day when she walked in on them in the house she bought for said girlfriend.
After throwing a fuss and kicking those two out of the house, she went to the bar and saw Lt General Duanmu sitting there by himself.
As he was normally a low profile guy, most people did not recognize him when he was in his civilian clothing.
However, for Layla who had idolized him for most of her life, she recognized him almost immediately.
