The Road to Rebirth Her Fresh Start and His Late Sorrow by Helena R. Bates

Chapter 111

Lucy barely had time to react before her legs gave out beneath her, and she crumpled to the ground. A sharp, agonizing pain spread from her head, forcing a guttural scream from her lips, "Who... who attacked me?"

Michael's lips curled into an amused smirk as he watched Lucy's face drain of color. "Looking for someone? Lena, perhaps?"

Lucy's heart pounded wildly in her chest as she locked eyes with Michael. Though he was smiling, there was an icy edge to him that sent chills down her spine.
