Vengeance With My White Knight by Maya Kensington

Chapter 174

hapter 174

Lorenzo looked like bed walked off a movie set–sharp, rugged features carved just right.

His glasses had hit the ground in the fall, and now those icy, deep eyes sliced through the dim light like a knife.

Anyone tight with Sebastian wasn’t exactly the cuddly type. Throw in that tattoo peeking out from his collar, and the guy screamed trouble–like a flashing red flag you couldn’t miss.

Ella went stiff under that energy, too freaked to even blink, just standing there like a spooked animal.

Lorenzo’s eyes tightened, giving her a slow, cold look–over.

Macro grabbed her wrist, laying on the sarcasm thick. “Oh, come on, girl, where’s your class? Grabbing a dude’s belt the first time you meet! Might as well pull his pants down and get straight to it!”

“I–I didn’t mean to!” Ella sputtered, scrambling to explain herself.

She couldn’t believe what Macro just said. She wasn’t trying to flirt or anything.

Macro eyed her iron grip on the belt and frowned.

Jennifer, meanwhile, was just as thrown. Seeing Ella hooked onto Lorenzo’s belt–of all things–left her frozen, mouth hanging open

Ella’s panicked eyes shot to Lorenzo. “I swear, I didn’t mean it! I’m so sorry, so sorry–she rambled, words tumbling over

each other.

Macro rolled his eyes. “Then let go already, genius!”

He added. “What’s your problem? Apologizing like crazy but still holding on like a leech?

Ella met Lorenzo’s stare–those deep, killer eyes–and her heart kicked into panic mode. Her brain just shut down, blank

with fear.

“Sorry, she mumbled again, voice shaky as hell.

Jennifer finally snapped out of it, blinking at the disaster in front of her.

She jumped in, grabbing Ella’s hand. “Alright, alright, you’ve said sorry a hundred times–let go already!

Ella blinked, out of it. “Huh?”

Stephanie had seen Sebastian’s car roll up but hadn’t spotted him inside, so she’d gone out to check it out

One step outside, and there was Lorenzo, down on one knee in the snowy muck, with Ella’s little pale hand latched onto his belt like it was her last hope.

Her eyes brugged out. “What the-

“Ella, what are you- She started, then stopped, totally floored.

Stephanie showing up snapped Ella back. She jerked her hand away like it was on fire, her face lighting up red–bright,

tornato red

I didn’t mean it, she muttered, dying of embarrassment.

She wanted to disappear, maybe melting into the snow.

Lorenzo got up, brushing off his wrinkled clothes slow and smooth–like he was too cool to care.

His face was all grumpy, and without a word, he turned and headed for the house

Sebastian saw Stephanie and frowned. “Why’re you out here? You’re not even dressed for this cold”

Stephanie pulled her coat tighter. “You weren’t coming in, so I came to see what’s up.”

She started toward Ella, worried. “Ella, you good?”

Ella’s face was blazing, red as a stoplight.
