Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 4

After the chaotic, mud–slinging fight, a crowd quickly gathered, eager to see how it would all play out.

Kevin struggled to drag Stephanie away from the scene.

Olivia’s face contorted in pain, her eyes brimming with tears as she glanced at Chris. “Chris, I…”

Chris’s face twisted into a mask of rage.

He barked at Kevin, still holding on to Stephanie. “Get her out of here–now!”

Stephanie yanked at Kevin’s grip, but he wasn’t about to let go.

It was the first time he’d realized just how strong she was–he could barely hold her back.

“Come on, Miss Giovanni, let’s go,” Kevin urged.

That’s when Stephanie suddenly remembered something.

“My bag! My bag,” she rushed to say.

The bag she’d used to hit Chris was lying next to him. In a fit of fury, Chris grabbed it and hurled it at her.

Kevin snatched it out of the air just in time, shoving it into Stephanie’s arms. “Got it, let’s go.”

Finally, the chaos started to settle.

Kevin managed to drag Stephanie to the car, planning to take her home, but she wouldn’t have it.

She didn’t want to be anywhere near Chris–or anything related to him–so she drove off by herself.

Chris, still dazed from the blow to his head, stood frozen for a moment.

When his mind finally clicked back into place, his eyes landed on Olivia–her hair a mess and her leg swollen. His anger toward Stephanie flared up even more.

Without hesitation, he scooped Olivia up into his arms. “I’m taking you to the hospital.”

Tears welled up in Olivia’s eyes as she nodded weakly. She looked utterly broken.
