Lia Aiken's Gallery.
Clenching the phone tightly, Lia Aiken really wished she could crush it.
She has nothing left but her gallery now, and her father keeps using it to threaten her. She is his daughter, not his enemy!
Lia really didn't want to go back to that house, but she had to, or else her father would really destroy the gallery.
The reason her gallery business was bad was because of her father's manipulations. In River City, the Aiken Family held high status, and when her father spread the word that anyone buying her paintings would be his enemy, no matter how good her paintings were, no one dared to buy them.
Lia knew her father was pressuring her to force her into a marriage alliance with the Aibileen Family, but Ethan Aibileen was just a playboy, with more women than she had clothes.
Rumors had it that Ethan Aibileen went as far as targeting underage girls. Lia would rather stay single for life than marry such a beastly man.
