Celestial Queen: Revenge Is Sweet When You’re A Zillionaire Heiress

Nola’s voice was icy, her sneer deepening as she confronted Errol’s uncertain expression.

Nola didn’t keep pushing, her voice tinged with helplessness. Until she was strong enough, she wouldn’t outright defy Errol. Over the years, her defiance had always stayed within his tolerated limits.
