Chapter 57: I’ll punish you
Ashley rolled her eyes.
"Chris!" Kayla cried even louder, and a low, throaty chuckle escaped Ashley’s lips.
She genuinely felt like walking into the bathroom, scooping toilet water, and making Kayla drink it.
"I see your knight is here," she muttered, forcefully releasing Kayla’s head and wiping her hands on the drama queen’s dress.
Her hair smelled like it hadn’t been washed in months.
"Are you okay? Open the door, Kayla!" Christian’s voice shouted, followed by a loud bang. While Kayla continued to sob dramatically on the floor, Ashley walked over and opened it.
The moment the door swung wide, her gaze met Christian’s furious eyes. She offered him the sweetest smile she could manage.
His eyes darted past her and landed on Kayla lying on the floor. His face turned red with anger.
"What did you do to her?!" he barked, rushing past her to Kayla’s side.
He hovered over her as she cried harder, and Ashley crossed her arms, watching the scene with amusement.
"I said, what did you do to her?!" Christian suddenly turned and charged at Ashley, his fist clenched as though he wanted to strike her. Ashley flinched, shutting her eyes, her hands rising to shield her face as she braced for impact.
