The Returned Heiress Who Never Fit In

Marie stood over Dan, looking down at him from above. “From now on, you’d better stay out of my sight; if I see you again, I’ll beat you again.”

It was the same threat as last time. Honestly, even if she didn’t say it, every time Dan ran into her, things never ended well for him. After all, ever since that faked death years ago, in Marie’s eyes, he was nothing short of an unforgivable sinner.

He barely managed to get that one line out before he couldn’t speak anymore—his whole body hurt like hell, as if every organ had been smashed to pieces.
