Avelina continued.
"My father introduced me to this friend of his. Since I was hopeless, he might as well marry me off to him for his benefit." She chuckled. "Of course, I was not willing. It was disgusting, and he looked even worse than my father did. I could not imagine myself being married to somebody who could have a daughter way older than I am."
"He had children too and the worst part about it was that one of them was older than I am. How embarrassing do you imagine that to be?" she questioned Draven, seeming to be venting to him.
Draven extended his hand, gently patting her head. "Continue." He was not exactly sure how to react to such an emotion.
"Well, as I said, I was not willing to marry him, but my father was going to make me do so. What he did was force me to go live with him, even though I had not even married him. He wanted me out of the house as soon as possible," Avelina moved on.
