Chapter 20

Sara couldn't believe her ears. She had her doubts about how Selina would fare after walking out on the Harvey family. Considering Selina was one of them by blood-missing for twenty-one years and suddenly back-it would make sense she'd have a hard time cutting ties. The Harveys didn't expect this drama, let alone Selina wanting it. But looks can be deceiving.
