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.
