Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 20

Chris, pissed off by the icy look she gave him, took a deep drag from his cigarette and exhaled with a sharp hiss.

“I know you can drive,” he muttered, “but I need to talk to you about something.”

Stephanie didn’t move, her eyes still cold. “I don’t want to.”

Without another word, she turned to head for her car.

But Chris quickly stepped into her path, grabbing her arm just as she tried to close the door.

She shot him a glare. “Let go.”

Ignoring her, Chris jerked her out of the car, his grip tight.

It was obvious he had the strength on her, and Stephanie had no choice but to go along with it. Her eyes seethed with anger as she glared up at him.

“Let go of me,” she hissed, teeth clenched.

Chris didn’t say anything. He dragged her toward his car and snatched the keys from her hand.

Without hesitation, he tossed them to Kevin, who caught them effortlessly and sped off in her car.

Stephanie’s fury only grew. “You jerk…”

Chris finally let go, but the damage was done.

“Get him back!” she demanded, her voice rising.

But by now, Chris was already in his car, the engine roaring to life. He glanced over at her. “So, you coming or not?”

Fuming, Stephanie kicked the tire of his car, frustrated.

But after a long pause, she finally climbed into the back seat, clearly unwilling to back down.

Chris, ever the one to push buttons, shot back, “Come to the front.”
