Chapter 102

Lana had never punched anyone before, hence she was not expecting the pain that shot through her arm and knuckles the moment it made contact with Zane’s face. she tried not to show how much she was hurting on her face, inwardly screaming until she felt River’s hand reach out for hers. He ran his thumb gently over her redden knuckles.

“Are you okay? Does it hurt?” he asked her.

Lana smiled, the pain she felt prior was already fading and she wanted to believe it was because of River comforting her. “I’m fine.”

River nodded at her before he turned back to Zane who pushed himself up, patting his back to dust off his clothes.

“You have a lot of nerve to show your face back in this town. Railey.” River threatened as he took a step forward but stopped moving when he felt Lana’s taking hold of his sleeve.

“I came to talk to you, Lana.”

“Talk? Hah!” River scoffed.

“This does not concern you.” Zane growled at River, who only held his intense glare.
