Reclaiming Her Heart

Chapter 743 Human Nature is Selfish

She dreamt of the dude who had pinned her down, sneering at her, his words cutting deep.

"You're from the Montague family, right? I've seen you before. You're really beautiful. Pretty girl, running around here comes with a price." This was a real scene from that time. Mia had just bolted out of the storage room when she ran into this guy.
