Ava sat quietly on her bed, not knowing how to feel after her grandfather stepped up for her. Once upon a time, no one had ever defended her before. But now, she was smiling at the beautiful feeling of knowing that someone now had her back. Regardless, she could not still outrule what her family had done to her, especially Jerome.
She was still annoyed. Very annoyed.
She pushed herself further into her bed before falling with her back. The past two days had been something else. Things were changing, and the fact that she had no control over it made her uneasy.
In her previous life, she never met a man like Maximus, let alone be abducted by him, and she certainly never had any feud like this with her family. This was why she'd been stunned all through the fight to even defend herself. Hopefully, she'd turned her old man's heart towards her.
