Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 89

Sebastian’s sudden question made Stephanie’s heart skip a beat. Without thinking, she blurted, “Yeah”

The second the word left her mouth, her face burned hot.

On the other end, Sebastian chuckled low and lazy. “Good girl.”

“So… Can I have Mexican food tonight?”

“Huh?”

This little brat.

‘One second she missed me, the next she was thinking about food?‘

Stephanie gave a tiny, hesitant smile. “It’s been forever.”

Since moving to Long Harbor, spicy food had become her guilty pleasure.

At first, it was just something to distract her–let that heat drown out all the homesick thoughts about Fiorenza.

But after a while, it became a craving she couldn’t shake.

Back in Fiorenza, Sebastian never let her touch anything too spicy. Said it would mess up her stomach.

Back then, she didn’t care. But once she got a taste? Game over.

Sebastian sighed, half annoyed, half amused. “Fine. But no takeout. I’ll have the chef make it.”

ར99%༎

That was as far as he’d bend. The man was obsessed with what she ate, ever since she landed in the hospital twice as a kid because of bad food.

With him, every bite she took had to pass inspection.

The second he said yes, Stephanie grinned. “You’re the best.”

“Speaking of,” Sebastian’s tone shifted, “what’s your plan for the Harts?”

That so–called ‘little stash‘ they’d been talking about earlier?

Sure, it wasn’t much. but over the years, Olivia and the rest of the Harts milked every penny just to rub it in Stephanie’s face.

Sebastian had no intention of letting that go.

And as for the Harts themselves…

Stephanie could hear the unspoken question underneath his words. He was giving her a chance to decide.

She thought for a second, then smiled faintly. “Every minute they have to deal with me already feels like hell.”

And that wasn’t an exaggeration.

Olivia’s treatment relied entirely on Macro and Allison–two people the Harts believed were fully under Stephanie’s thumb. Knowing that alone was enough to make Olivia’s skin crawl.

Sebastian laughed softly. “So you’re not done playing with them?”

“Please,” Stephanie said, casual as ever. “They’re torturing themselves just fine without me.”

Besides, it was obvious that Sebastian already had his hands all over their money.

By the time he was through, the Harts would be fighting each other for scraps.

Hearing how completely uninterested Stephanie was in saving them, Sebastian’s smile practically came through the phone. “Good girl. I’ll tell the chef to make you a proper feast tonight.”

“Looking forward to it.”
