Chapter 48: Deal?

Before the words could leave the tip of Caleb's tongue, his mother had stormed towards him, raising her hand up high and it quickly came crashing down, slapping him on his cheek without a single warning.

A soft gasp escaped Alexandra's lips and she slapped a hand over her mouth as she watched the scene unfold before her eyes.

Beside her, an amused smirk was carved into Elisha's face, but she quickly hid it with a look of concern and worry.

Caleb turned to look back at his mother with wide eyes, shock and disbelief running wild in his dark eyes as he tried to register what had just happened. It was the first time his mother had ever laid her hand on him. "What was that for?" He asked with a clenched jaw.

Stephanie put her arm around Elisha's shoulders, pulling her close to herself before she made her point. "That's for threatening your own fiance with a lawyer."
