MISTAKE 68

Chapter 68: Humiliation

Anya could not believe it. Why did he respond? All these years, he had never responded. And what did he mean by she just ran away from home? Wasn't Anya married again? With a sinking feeling in the pit of her stomach, Selene realized that her plans had backfired spectacularly. She looks up at the smiling Anya in horror. He remarried her?

"You remarried Daniel?" Selene screamed.

"Yes, and?" Anya asked, and Selene felt humiliated.

"She came to mock the wife?" someone asked.

After all your years of pursuing him, you cannot even touch him." Selene winced at her father's words, the truth of his words hitting her square in the face. She had thought she was being clever and thought she could manipulate the situation to her advantage. But now, faced with her father's righteous anger, she knew she had only succeeded in making a
