Nathan must have invited the media. And Maddison, knowing this, instead grew a new idea to torment Ashley, and since Nathan was already planning to humiliate her at tomorrow's mating ceremony, Maddison wanted Ashley's humiliation to be complete, so she planned to add this segment.
Ashley let out a sharp breath, her hands curling into fists. Even if Maddison had gone this far, she doubted Nathan would be angry. No… he would probably laugh, amused, maybe even impressed by her "creativity."
The thought alone made Ashley's blood burn with rage.
"Was I really that fun to mess with?" Ashley whispered the question meant for Nathan, even if he wasn't there to hear it. The thought that they would go this far twisted something bitter in her chest.
She forced it down. Now wasn't the time to unravel.
Moving as quietly as she could, she made her way toward the back door, but it wouldn't budge.
Locked.
