When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 11

She recalled how Adrienne used to be the ringleader in bullying her, picking on her like she was their punching bag back in high school.

But Vincent had her back then.

She fell for Vincent, especially when Adrienne and her posse cornered her in the bathroom over her pretty bracelet and started kicking her around. Vincent busted through the ladies‘ room door with a kick and whisked her away.

In those moments, she felt like Vincent was a beacon of light. But eventually, that light would never shine on her again, and no one would ever pull her out of the darkness again.

Kristin had a congenital heart defect and needed surgery right after her birth, and back then. heart surgery cost an arm and a leg.
