Chapter 34- Apologies

Letisha’s POV

Shock at my stepsister’s words overrode the stinging in my cheek. And then anger swiftly followed.

I’d had enough of this bitch.

I lifted my hand to return the favor, but my wrist was ensnared quickly in a tight grip. This was the second time someone had stopped me from slapping Fiona after she’d slapped me first.

This time, it was my father.

It was the first time he acknowledged me since they had approached, and it was to defend his stepdaughter.

Surprise, surprise.

“Don’t cause a scene with your disgusting behavior,” John gritted out coldly.

I wish I could say I wasn’t affected by his words, but I couldn’t deny the hurt that still tugged at my chest at his apparent dislike.

No matter. Regardless of how affected I was, I would never allow that to show outwardly. These people were like sharks, scenting blood. They would pounce at the first sign of weakness.
