Love in the Limelight Novel

Chapter 84

She never thought love could be so twisted and sick. Every time she rejected him, he’d trap her, scare her, and torment her in all sorts of ways.

But she always had the pocket knife Rickon gave her for self-protection. Even though Hal had tormented her, he gained nothing from it, not even so much as touching her hand, and almost got himself stabbed by her in the process.

After that, the Cornett family didn’t dare let Hal mess with her again.

They all feared their precious son would accidentally get himself killed by her.

So, when Hal showed up that day, she was a bit surprised.
