Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 2

Chris’s face shifted in disbelief, his brows knitting together as the weight of Stephanie’s words hit him.

He stared at her, utterly stunned by her coldness.

‘Cancel the wedding? Is she… crazy?‘ Chris’s mind raced, countless thoughts swirling, but they all crumbled in the face of her icy indifference,

His voice faltered slightly as he tried to explain, “She’s sick. Once she recovers, she’ll leave, and we’ll have a bigger wedding.”

Stephanie’s lips curled into a sneer, her voice frigid. “Is she sick, or is she pregnant?”

The moment her words hung in the air, the air stiffened, like the weight of her question was too much to bear.

Chris’s eyes darkened, his voice low as he asked, “What do you know?”

Stephanie didn’t answer immediately. She leaned back in her chair, her tone cool as she replied, “You and she were so open about being at the hospital, in the gynecology department.” A mocking smile tugged at her lips.

Her voice was biting, filled with frost. “Now, you’re talking to me about a bigger wedding. Don’t you think that’s ironic?”

They were supposed to marry in just a week. The thought of it, mixed with everything else, made something inside Stephanie crumble.

He made another woman pregnant, and now he was here talking about the wedding with Stephanie.

‘Is he really playing both sides to her face? Thinking I won’t cut him off?‘ Stephanie’s eyes were steely, her resolve unshakable.

Chris’s face grew even darker, his voice hushed, almost desperate. “She’s not pregnant. She’s sick.”

Stephanie’s gaze was unwavering, cold as ice. “Sick? And you’re the one taking her to the hospital? Am I missing something?”

Her question hung in the air, sharp and unforgiving. Chris’s expression darkened further, and his fingers absently traced the edge of the desk.

Stephanie couldn’t bear to look at him any longer. She stood up and walked to the door.

As she moved, her voice was cold, the words dripping with mockery. “Now that she’s here, she might as well stay. After all, she still has a debt to settle here in Long Harbor, and I’m sure it’ll take long.”

Two years of building a relationship, of calm affection, seemed to collapse in an instant.

Chris had severed his ties with Olivia, but now Stephanie was doing it too, tearing apart what little remained… Her heart was filled with cold resolve, and she wasn’t looking back.

Relationships took work from both sides. There was no point in one person doing all the labor. Stephanie’s heart was heavy with disappointment, but also fierce with anger.
