The Billionaire's Mistake

MISTAKE 68

snapped, his tone icy with disdain. "You've embarrassed our family, humiliated yourself, and for what? 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
