Chapter 47 Maddox I scoffed at how his mask cracked hard right in front of me and I was just about to give him a reply that would make his hand tighten into fists when Tiffany spoke first . " Ever since I found Harper at your place back in San Francisco , I was so focused on getting back at her , but not anymore . Grayson told me to stop and I listened and you know what ? I feel at peace . " Everyone began to praise her with words of approval but I wasn't buying it , not even for a second . I watched her closely . Even with that grin , something just didn't feel right . There was something still calculating about her eyes . " I know you two haven't yet decided on a day when you can hang out and bond , " Margot began , " but I'm just glad that we are past this . It broke my heart to see you two drift apart . " She placed a hand on her chest like she actually meant it . " I think it's time we all had something to drink ! " She looked around like she owned the place . I already wanted to get away from everyone and that was my chance , so I rose to my feet , glancing at Grayson one last time as I walked past him . He was still fuming . When I came to the minibar , I paused before I could even reach for a bottle from one of the shelves . I had always told Grayson that he wasn't fooling me and he was now doing a terrible job at hiding what was really going on with him . Then , I heard footsteps approaching from behind me and I slowly turned around . There was a small satisfied smirk at the corner of my mouth because it was exactly who I was expecting to see . " You didn't have to come all the way here . I was only going to take a minute to bring what everyone asked for . Well , I guess you can't wait to have that drink . " I didn't bother to hide the mockery in my tone . He came real close as he scanned the shelf , his breath now a little heavy . Reaching for a bottle of vodka , he said , " This thing with you and Harper- " " Of course , that's what you came for . I mean... why else would you come here so we can talk in private ? Anyway , I told you before that I wasn't leaving the fun behind . It's coming to me . You had your fun , so let me have mine . It's not my fault that it ended when it did for you ." 16:07 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 47 " What's that supposed to mean ? " He turned to face me while poking his cheek . " Last night , you took Harper home and that was it . " 36 EL 55 vouchers " I only told you that I was spending time with Harper , so how did you know that part ? " " She called me , you know . We had quite some interesting chats all night . She was drinking and celebrating the fact that she did something huge ." I still wanted to tease him , so I took it a step further . " Tiffany and I aren't yet in good terms , but if you ever cheat on her- " " Why would I cheat on her ? " He lowered his voice . " The only reason it didn't happen with Harper was because she was able to resist . " I was so blunt with it that I spotted his jaw clench . " Harper's just my friend . " He exhaled sharply . " A sexy friend that no man can resist and I'll take full advantage of that as long as she wants me . She didn't even hesitate when I told her to come over on Friday . I'm- " My phone ringing from the back of my pocket grabbed my attention and I took it out , smirking as I looked at the caller ID . " Guess who it is ? " I showed off Harper's name flashing on my screen before picking up . " It only took you half of the day to get back to me , " I said to her . " There was no way I was going to read that text in front of my Aunt ," she said from the other end of the line . " You're nasty . " " That makes the two of us ." I leaned against the counter and kept the conversation going with Harper , watching Grayson die inside . He even opened the bottle , pouring himself a glass and drinking it all at once while he listened . I should've cut the call short and returned to the living room , but there was something so satisfying about seeing him like that . I told her about the travel arrangements , the private jet and all and it got to a point where Grayson couldn't take it anymore and actually left me there , his steps a little rushed . 16:07 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 47 55 vouchers My father and I came to the garage , where we could finally be alone and he constantly looked around at my car collection . "I'm not surprised that you left some of the cars back in San Francisco but made sure the motorbike was brought here , " he said , standing real close to it . I chuckled softly , approaching it and running the palm of my hand on the handle . " Yup , this baby goes with me everywhere now . I haven't even used it again since the day Uncle Sebastian got it for me . " He nodded but said nothing immediately as he continued to look around . " Did you go to Larkspur Hills ? " he finally said . " No. I haven't had time . " " That's your new estate and it's waiting for you , you know ." " Yeah , I know . " I faced the floor , thinking about how Margot showed off that day in front of everyone . Going around the motorbike so he could stand on the other side with me , he said , " I've been wanting to say this but stopped myself so many times . The truth is ... I was jealous when Sebastian revealed your birthday present ." My head shot up in surprise . " Really ? " He gave a half smile . " You were a million times happier than you were when you received our present . It felt like I'd missed a mark . I just wanted to do something special for you . He beats me at everything and even came to your new home before I did . Well , on your next birthday , he won't stand a chance against me . " I chuckled with amusement . " What ? " he asked . " Nothing ... it's just .... nothing . " Hearing him admit that , carried so much weight but just as I loosened up a bit , he said , " The food should be ready by now . I'm starving . We should go ." I cleared my throat , my smile fading . " Yeah . " I was just about to lead the way out when he said , " As a father and husband , I'm just trying to keep the peace in our family , but just give me some more time and I'll make things right . I promise ." 16:07 Tue , Sep 16 Chapter 48 Chapter 48 Discover our latest featured short drama reel. Watch now and enjoy the story!
