Tempted Trapped and Too Late to Run

Chapter 271

After a few hours of brewing chaos, photos of Simon and Quinn had the whole town buzzing.

Clara's phone wouldn't stop ringing, with all the calls coming from Simon. But she was in no mood to talk to him, so she blocked his number with a frustrated sigh. Then Ryan called her.
