Lavenia's POV
I groaned, waking up to excruciating pain and a burning sensation in my chest. My hand reached out to touch the spot that felt like a curse, but something stopped me.
A warm grip forced me to open my eyes.
Urgh! This is exhausting. I thought I was in heaven—or hell, for that matter—as long as I didn't have to deal with anything related to these annoying men.
All four of them were near me, surrounding me as if I were an experiment or a spectacle. And one more: the homewrecker who managed to win my father's heart—it's as if he's stolen everything, leaving him to trust this bastard more than me.
"What are you doing here?" I asked weakly. The energy required just to breathe felt like running a full marathon without stopping.
Seeing these people didn't make me feel better—it made me feel worse.
