Miss Josefina: Nobody's Princess

Edward's voice was tinged with indignation as he confronted Lena's father. "Sir, Lena is your daughter too. Why aren't you standing up for her?"

Lena panicked. This Edward, what a blockhead! Who talks to their elders like that? What terrified Lena more was the possibility of Garrett revealing her secret-her faux-heiress identity.

"Edward, how can you speak to my father in that tone? I only had you come over to clear up this mess, and since that's done, you should head back," Lena urged. She walked over to Edward, yanked him up, and angrily escorted him out.

Edward was still processing the situation when Lena pulled him out the door. He was astounded. How did Lena have such strength?

By the time Lena had dragged Edward to the front gate, her face was a storm cloud of displeasure. Edward had never seen Lena like this-terrifying, far from the cool girl he'd imagined. "Lena, what did I do wrong? I'm just worried about you being mistreated here. How can they treat a guest this way?"

The sweltering heat only added to Lena's irritation as she forced a bitter smile. "Edward, you don't understand my situation. Ever since my sister was adopted, my parents have been all over her, practically forgetting I exist."
