The Unshackled Queen: Never Say Never

Now divorced, it appeared Hannah still couldn’t resist stalking him.

“f@ck off! Do you honestly think that jerk is royalty?” Lydia silenced Eliana before the latter could utter another insult.

Turning around, Hannah said to Declan and Eliana with a touch of apathy, “Miss Patel, perhaps you should spend more time in front of a mirror.
