"Did you really think this was the way to execute the task our family assigned to you? You escaped before your wedding and we gave you an opportunity to rectify your mistake. Is this how you choose to repay our kindness?"

Kieran spoke in a measured, gentle manner, his expression pleasant. Yet to Joanna, his words sounded like a death sentence. He was the most feared member of the Foster family.

Joanna remained silent. Observing her quiet demeanor, he sighed. "Since you have no
