In the end Leyla says to Matthias she regrets nothing.
Too many graphic sex scenes looking like r^pe and she was the one who went after Matthias and accepted a deal, knowing what he wanted. She says "Just once?" She goes to the floor out of nothing, how awkward! She cries because she gets angry, she lost a "good card" in her game to save the weird uncle. Matthias says "maybe she has all the cards"
She is also cynical and pragmatic in her thoughts but acts like an annoying crying weirdo. She analyzes him very well. She refuses Kyle saying she doesn't belong to his world, but she wants to belong to aristocracy - even higher, because Kyle is middle class.
The illustrations don't match the mood. If it is a dark romance it should convey this, not romanticize. The settings mix many real European countries including modern names, using English an German. The vocabulary uses too many modern words, then old ones. If the setting is historical, it should not have phones or cars resembling late 1930s or 1940s of real world. Too many mistakes.
For real, there is nothing making her a prisoner in Matthias estate, she says this in the novel. And Matthias reaction after she leaves doesn't make sense, he knew she didn't love him and he said she was dead but he was looking for her. Many plots of convenience. Then a weird sugarcoated ending.
"If I can't be your heaven, Layla... then I will let you go… So, go. Fly away from me and find your heaven." — Chapter 137
"I'm going to be your heaven, your sky. So please, fly freely. As long as you don't leave me, you can do anything you want. I love you." — Epilogue 4
Simplemente quería que ella solo lo mirara a él. A veces, siguiéndole la corriente y sonriéndole llena de abrumadora felicidad después de que él le concediera su deseo.
Ahora... conocía su deseo...
Leyla Lewellyn...
Él la deseaba...
Toda ella…
Todo sobre ella…
Matthias Von Herhardt
Todavía recordaba ese momento en el salón.
Claudine lo había abrazado con tanta facilidad cuando él apareció ante ella, mientras ella vestía sus ropas más raídas y no con su mejor aspecto en comparación con la chica. Y sin embargo él la vio...
Y se arrepintió de haber reconocido cómo su corazón se aceleró ante ese hecho.
"¡Eres despreciable!" Exclamó Leyla, antes de chillar de miedo cuando Matthias tiró de ella con fuerza hacia él por el brazo. Pero ella se recuperó rápidamente, habiéndose acostumbrado a su trato rudo hacia ella. "¡No te burles de Kyle!" Ella lo regañó...
Y de repente la mirada de Matthias se volvió más fría.
'Kyle', pensó Matthias con amargura, 'Siempre es Kyle este... Kyle aquello... Estoy tan enfermo. De. Kyle.'
¡Incluso la forma en que intentó arrojarse en medio de la pelea para alejarlo del hombre le irritaba los nervios!
