Chapter 76

Celena’s cheek stung badly, and a vivid handprint blazed across her once pale and lovely face. The Stone family’s insults echoed in her ears, and tears welled up in her eyes

Cheryl’s slap had shattered her resolve, and the jeers from the Stone family snapped her back to a harsh reality.

The Stone family was no longer her refuge. There was no place for her and Jovie within the Stone family’s walls. “Liam, let’s get out of here and never look back. The Stone family isn’t my home anymore. They won’t accept me…” Celena said as she turned and tugged at Liam’s arm.

His demand was met with sneers and eye rolls from the crowd. They looked at Liam as if he had lost his mind. “Has Liam gone crazy? A nobody from the Cole family expecting an apology from Cheryl? Does he think he’s someone special?”
