Chapter 20 Maddox 77 55 vouchers The panic in Kate's voice and body language made me take out my phone to find out what all the panic was about . Harper had posted a long comment .. " Man , I used to hate those photos , " her reply started , " Who would want that girl ? Turns out ... me . I used to wonder why some people didn't notice me , but I'm glad they didn't . It gave me space to become who I am today . The girl in those photos isn't someone I laugh at , she's someone I thank ." She also posted her simple skincare routine , how she cares for her hair and tagged her friends , Ella and Zoey to show them some love . I paused , my thumb hovering over the screen to read Harper's reply over and over again . It reminded me of that evening when I saw her again at Grayson and Tiffany's engagement party . I tried to mock her but she knew how to stand up for herself . It was for this reason that I expected nothing less in that situation with the post . I just didn't realize it would be that satisfying . What made it even better were the replies under Harper's comment . " Wait , what moisturizer do you use ? " " Can you please do a full routine video ? " " OMG I'm definitely following for more tips ! " " You've made me realize we need to focus on someone's glow - up and not tear them down . " Even the friends Harper had tagged were now in the comments . There were so many replies under her comment that I couldn't read any more , but the post was now getting more love than hate because the internet that mocked her a few hours ago switched sides . Just as I smirked at how she turned the tables , Tiffany let out an annoying high - pitched scream and I looked over , that already being the reaction I expected . She placed a hand on her hip with a sharp breath . " That bitch really thinks this makes her special ? " " It's crazy how everyone is now on her side ," Kate chimed in . " Shut the fuck up , Kate ! " Tiffany hissed . " This little glow - up doesn't erase what Harper used to be . I'm going to destroy her for this . You'll see ! " There wasn't a single part of me that felt bad for my sister . I even leaned against the wall just to watch the show . Kate was there , trying to give her opinion , but what got my attention more was Grayson's silence . He stood beside Tiffany with his hands shoved deep into his pockets , his eyes glued to the floor . He had a lot to say when Margot and Kate made all those comments about Harper . But now that his wife had openly sworn revenge on Harper , he was completely silent . 7:25 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 20 ( ( ( 77 E55 vouchers It was all so pathetic that I didn't want to be there anymore . I moved away from the wall and began to make my way to the front door . " Let's go , " I said to Kate . She was just about to rush to me when Grayson's voice cut through the air . " Wait ." I paused , but didn't turn around . " Can we talk outside ? " Tiffany was too focused on the post about Harper to even ask what Grayson had to talk to me about . I stepped outside and left the door behind me open so he could follow . I was right by the steps , but he walked past me . " I thought you wanted to talk ." My forehead creased . " Not over there ." I sighed , following him all the way to the backyard . " What's this about ? " " When are you leaving town ? " he asked bluntly . I shook my head lightly . " I should have known . Why- " " Just answer the question ." " I don't know . Any problem ? " " The sooner you leave , the better . Harper told me you two are just having a good time but I know her . I don't want to see her catching feelings for someone like you ." I scoffed . " Is that what you're really worried about ? " " Meaning ? " " Whatever you think it means . Look , it's just as she said , we're having a good time and- " " And that's why you needed town as soon as possible so you can leave Harper alone . " My eyes narrowed with a smirk . " What makes you think I'll leave the fun behind ? " " You can always have fun wherever you go in this world . You're Maddox Aldridge , you'll find it . " " Well , there's no fun like Harper . I'm talking from personal experiences , which you can't relate to . If only you could see the way she fucks me and- " 7:26 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 20 He cut me off mid - sentence when he grabbed me by the collar , his forehead vein popping out . 77 55 vouchers I raised my eyebrows in amusement as I looked at his hands on me then back at his face . " Whoa , seems like someone's forgotten where they are . And aren't you getting a little too pissed about this ? " He immediately let go , smoothing his sleeves while breathing hard . Seeing him so rattled up was amusing . " All that just because you don't want to see me break your best friend's heart in case she falls for me ? I told you before that I'm not dumb ." " I don't know what you're talking about . You ... " He trailed off when his phone rang , breaking the tense moment between us . He picked up and I could already tell that it was Tiffany . He might have lowered his voice to make it sound softer , but his hand was so tight around his phone that his knuckles turned white . Without saying a word or looking back at me , he made his way back inside . I wanted to see how pissed he was one last time . Smoothing my collar , I chuckled lightly because he wasn't fooling me . The ride was quiet at first . Kate was in the passenger seat with her legs crossed while scrolling through her phone . My eyes were fixed on the road when she finally began to speak , her tone already bitter . " I still can't believe Harper fucking flipped it . How does someone go from being a complete loser to this ? She literally tagged people and dropped her routine fast before anyone asked . And the comments are treating her like she's a goddess or something . Poor Tiffany ." I turned at the corner without a word . " Seriously ? " She let out an annoyed breath as she leaned towards me . " Aren't you going to say anything ? " She leaned back in her seat and my silence must have gotten to her , because she finally stopped talking about it and stared out the window . Only a few minutes later , she shifted in her seat with a heavy sigh . " You're still mad at me right ? Look , about what happened in your room . I just wanted you so badly that I said all those things . I didn't mean any of it . We're cool , right ? " " Yup ," I said flatly . She was quiet for a moment , then pulled her short dress higher up her thighs . It was obviously intentional . I caught it in my peripheral , glanced only once then looked away to keep my eyes on the road again . She still wanted me to fuck her . This was all part of their plan and Grayson was in on it , but my mind was far from sex . 7:26 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 20 77 55 vouchers I couldn't stop thinking about how Tiffany and Kate interrupted my father and I right when he was about to tell me why he had insisted that I come over . He said we'd talk about it later but the look in his eyes made me want to call him right away so he could tell me over the phone even though I knew that wouldn't happen . I had never seen him so serious . When I pulled over at a gas station and stepped out of the car . I told Kate to wait , but she still decided to follow me inside the store . As I picked up some snacks , she was all smiles while swinging her hips like we were on a date . She had her hand wrapped around my arm and giggled just so the others in the store could see . She only let go when I was paying for everything . When we continued the ride to her place , she kept glancing at me with a smirk like it was a build - up to something . We finally made it to her place and I found two cars parked in the front yard , only making it more obvious that Tiffany and Grayson had made sure to make it seem like Kate was unable to come to the estate in her own car . I didn't even point it out . I was already dealing with her in my own way . I stepped out from the driver's seat and opened the car door on her side without saying a word . She took her time when getting out , brushing against me on purpose when her heels were on the ground . I was about to walk around the car so I could leave when she held onto my wrist . Her touch was soft and I didn't stop her . " Maddox ..." her voice was low and sultry . " You don't have to drive back to your place just yet . It's only 6 PM . How about you come in and I'll make it worth your while ? " She slid her hand up my chest and I looked down at her lips while she wrapped her arms around my neck . Even when she pushed her heels off the ground to kiss me , I once again didn't stop her . She finally placed her lips on mine but I didn't respond right away . I had done this so many times before and was never one to turn down a lady who was in need of me , especially someone so attractive . The situation was different from earlier in my old room , yet I still didn't feel like touching her or kissing her back . I gently pulled her hands off me after pulling away from her lips and she pouted . " What's wrong ? " she asked . " Some other time ," She chuckled . " I'm not letting you leave until you give me what I want and I know you want it too ." She attempted to kiss me again but I looked to the side . " I said some other time . " I was a little surprised by the annoyance in my tone . 7:26 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 20 She sighed in defeat , taking a few steps back with crossed arms . " Whatever . " I turned her down because I was too bothered by what my father had to tell me . 77 55 vouchers Whatever the case , I owed Kate no explanation , so I got back in the car but she just stood there like she was waiting for something . Right when I started the engine and fastened my seatbelt , she lightly knocked on the window in the backseat . " What are you doing ? " I asked . " I want to get my snacks in the backseat before you go ." Before pulling out of her driveway and quickly driving off , I said , " I never said those snacks were for you ." 色 AD Comment Send gift No Ads 7:26 Tue , Sep 16 Discover our latest featured short drama reel.
