Chapter 16 Chapter 16 Grayson 55 vouchers I should have known that it wasn't over that day when Harper slapped Tiffany hard and all my wife did was shed a few tears . She just made it seem like she wasn't humiliated and the slap didn't sting that much . That should have been my warning because it turned out that all along , she was waiting . She finally delivered her strategic blow and must have wanted to enjoy every moment of it by not letting it get in the way of our honeymoon . I got up from the chair by the balcony , my grip getting tighter around my phone . Right on her page , Tiffany had made a post about Harper , but not the version of her that was gorgeous and glowing . It contained a number of old photos I hadn't seen in years . They were from before college , before the confidence , before everything about her bloomed . They were from a time when she still had her hair pulled back in messy braids , oversized clothes , braces and acne all over her face . Tiffany made sure to strike where it would hurt Harper the most , by going after her transformation and it was crystal clear in the caption . " It's just funny how the girl who thinks she can now go around slapping people used to beg for crumbs of attention . Not even her best friend wanted her . Like seriously , who would want this ? " The caption hit me hard and I shut my eyes for a moment , running the palm of my hand down my face before staring at the photos again and then at one particular statement in the caption . Not even her best friend wanted her . I was so mad that I roughly shoved my phone in my pocket , not just because of what Tiffany did , but also because of how much of it was true . Now that I could finally see myself with Harper , she was too focused on Maddox and even had the nerve to tell me that they were just having a good time . That was all it was to her and nothing serious . It should have made me feel better , but it didn't . It made everything worse because the idea of her offering herself to that fuckboy who was now my brother - in - law so casually made me want to smash everything . He was having the better version of her which was every man's desire . I wasn't even able to sleep peacefully at night as I couldn't stop thinking about her and how she spread her legs for him a second time . I was supposed to head to the bathroom so I could freshen up , but that was going to wait . I needed to speak to Tiffany first , I came back to the bedroom and found her sitting with her legs crossed , humming softly while lining her lips .. She always looked so composed and well - polished , like nothing ever bothered her and that day wasn't any different , but it should have been . " Babe ," I said , looking at her reflection . " Mm - hmm ? " She didn't even glance at me . " Why did you post that ? " She paused with the lip liner mid - swipe , but it was only for a second . " Which one ? 1 post a lot of things . 7:24 Tue , Sep 16 77 Chapter 16 I got closer to her chair , my jaw clenched . " This isn't the time to play dumb with me ." 55 vouchers When she finally met my eyes in the mirror , she showed no signs of being apologetic . She was only amused . " Baby , it's already been two weeks but I wasn't just going to sit around after Harper slept with my brother and slapped me . " My stomach twisted at the thought of Maddox fucking Harper . Tiffany had no idea that the two of them had done it again the previous night and this time , right in Harper's home . She let him touch her in all the ways I now wished I could . When she finished lining her lips , she picked up a brush to blend . " I never liked Harper and you've known this from the first day we met . She always wanted to act like she was better than everyone else , like she was quiet and sweet but deep down ? She just wanted attention and now , she's finally getting it . Well , good for her ." I didn't say anything immediately . I was too busy imagining the sounds Harper made when Maddox kissed her while he was deep inside of her . My silence seemed to bother Tiffany as she looked back at me , smirking at me with her purple lips as she came to me . " Don't tell me you're mad at me ." I sighed . " Do you have any idea how cruel that post was ? " " Cruel ? " she mockingly repeated . " That was just a little taste of what I could do and besides , I only told the truth . You didn't want her back then . No one did . " I clenched my fists behind my back because now , I wanted Harper , even more than I did before she fucked Maddox . " I made it clear that you should leave her alone ," I reminded her . " That's exactly what I did . I didn't touch her , I only touched the internet . " she winked . " She started it . Did she honestly think my reaction that day was the end of it ? I'd like to see her come back from this . " She gently ran the palm of her hand against the side of my face before walking past me . She was calm because the whole thing didn't matter to her , but it mattered to me . When I finally stepped into the shower , I couldn't stop thinking about Harper and how she must have felt when she saw that post . She must have been quiet when she read the caption . She must have seen it by now , but why didn't she call me ? Tiffany was downstairs when I returned to the bedroom and before putting on my suit . I reached for my phone and scrolled to Harper's number . My thumb hovered over the call button as I told myself I shouldn't be calling her , not after what Tiffany did . In the end , I dialed her number anyway . " Hello ? " she said from the other end of the line , her voice a little strained . 7:24 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 16 : 55 vouchera " Hey , everything good ? " I was already under the assumption that she sounded that way because of the post . " Just a sore throat . What's up ? " Not even finding out the reason she sounded that way put me at ease . " Have you seen Tiffany's post ? " I asked . " How could I not see it when it's everywhere and I've been mentioned so many times ? " Her tone was a little sharp . I sighed . " Look , Tiffany shouldn't have done that . She really crossed the line and I'm sorry . " " There you go again ." " Harp- " " No , " she cut in . " The next time something like this happens , don't even bother apologizing , especially not for her . " I closed my eyes . " I just didn't want you to think I'm in support of any of this. " " Are you being for real ? " Her strained voice cracked a little . " It doesn't matter because in the end , you always protect her , even when she's doing the most hurtful things . " She was right and it made me press the phone harder against my ear . " I just- " " She's clearly trying to ruin my reputation , but I know exactly how to handle this . " My eyes narrowed with curiosity . " What are you going to do ? " With so much confidence , she only said , " You'll see .
