LOGIN“What the fuck man?! I didn’t even touch her--”
“I don’t want to see your face around here ever again,”Silas said, his voice deadly calm even though his chest was heaving and his knuckles turning red.Ace spit blood onto the pavement, his eyes wild. “What? You think because you people got money you can look down on me? Screw you, Konstantino.”“You had money too,” Silas said, pulling me to his side., “You wasted it on partying and women. You had your chance to walk away, but youTwenty minutes later I was pulling into the Konstantino driveway with two big bags of Cheezy-Os. Might as well turn this into a party.The sky, however, looked dark, as if it were almost evening, even though it was just 1:20 p.m. I suppose the forecast was accurate regarding the rain.I grabbed my bag of snacks from the passenger seat and headed towards the main entrance. But before I could reach the door, I heard the familiar rumble of Kyler’s motorcycle pulling up behind me and I turned around just in time for him to kill the engine and swing off, pulling his helmet off. His silver hair was a mess, and he had that easy grin on his lips that always made my stomach do stupid things.“What's up, brat?” he grabbed a pack of beer and some soda cans from his bike’s storage compartment. Then pulled a trampoline over his bike. “Great timing.”“Beer?” I raised an eyebrow at the beer.“These are for me.” He fell into step beside me. “These, are for you.” he showed
LOUISA I was in the middle of finishing up my assignments from Professor Aquila on yesterdays class. Apparently, his wife went into labour too and he had to cancel his class. I didn’t even know he was married since he never had on a wedding ring. It’s safe to say, half the girls in class and I were pretty disappointed, but, happy for his family. When my phone buzzed on my desk, I tore my gaze away from my laptop and notes. It was a text from Ayla. ALLEY- CAT: GIRL CHECK THE NEWS ALLEY- CAT: [link] ALLEY- CAT: Isn’t this your ex????? “Which of my exes?” My brows knitted together as I muttered the question. Was she talking about Ace and that ridiculous video from yesterday? My stomach was already doing rounds before I clicked the link and honestly, shocked, felt like too small a word to define how I felt right now. Apauld? The headline loaded first: Local Man Arrested on Charges of Soliciting Minors And right below it, was Ace’s face. A mugshot, specifically. Looking exact
“Can I go now?” “One last thing.” Silas handed him back his phone. “You’re going to stop these. Immediately. Delete all of it. Block all those girls. And if I ever hear that you’ve contacted another minor again, these videos and messages are going straight to the police. Do you understand” “Yes,” Ace whispered. “I didn’t fucking hear you.” Silas grabbed his hair and tugged it harshly. “Yes! Yes, I understand!” “Excellent.” Silas pushed his head back. “Should I untie him?” Kyler asked as he moved around him, but Silas said no. “Leave him.” “What?!” Ace snapped. “You’re just gonna leave me like this?” “One of your hands is free, is it not?” “B-but…” “You can figure the rest out. Come on, Kyl.” He was already heading towards the exit. “Remember what we said. Stay away. Stop messaging minors. And get the hell out of this city if you’ve still got some common sense left.” Kyler smiled before bonding after his twin with his bag slung over his shoulder. The heavy door shut with a
“How did you---”“Get into your phone?” Kyler grinned. “Kyler majored in Cyber Security,” Silas responded, a twinge of pride in his tone when he spoke about his brother. “Maybe use a password that isn’t your mother’s birthday?”“You can’t---that’s illegal--”“So is soliciting minors,” Silas cut in sharply. “You’re not just a shitty person, but a predator which is far worse.”Ace’s mouth opened and closed like a fish. No words came out. What could he possibly say to defend himself? His enemies suddenly had their hands on his darkest secret. It was only one time. He was going to stop. But…there was something about talking to younger girls. They were so easy to lie to… His teeth clenched so hard and his fist folded too tightly, his nails cut his skin.“Here’s what’s going to happen,” Silas continued, pulling out a piece of paper from his jacket. “You’re going to read this script. You’re going to apologize to the Konstantino Group for any damage your ugly actions may have caused. You
“Did you have to hit him so hard?”Silas asked while Kyler rounded him, the metal bat balanced on his shoulder while his hands hung from it.“What? He was going to get away,” he responded nonchalantly.“I had him.” “Sure you did, bro.” Kyler crouched down, getting eye level with Ace who was still sprawled on the asphalt, withering in pain that exploded from his back and knees. “Hey, Ace. Remember me?”Ace’s eyes were filled with terror, darting between Silas and Kyler. In the dark, he couldn’t tell who was who. Silas wasn’t wearing his glasses anymore and they just looked like the same devil come to torment him.“What--what do you want from me?”“Just want to make sure we’re all on the same page,” Kyler said, tapping the end of the metal bat against Ace;s forehead as if to make a point. “You caused quite some trouble for my brother, Ace.”“I didn’t mean--”’“Trouble for my brother, means trouble for me.” Kyler’s tone dropped as he cut him off. “You caused trouble for Louisa. And trou
“Heh, Damn, that Konstantino guy really gave it to you, Ace.”“Shut the fuck up, Doug.” Ace hissed at his co-worker. His jaw was still evidently bruised as he took out his things from the locker.“Look, look, this is the best…ow!” Doug laughed louder as he replayed the video at just the exact moment Ace got knocked down. “That must have hurt.”Within the past five or six hours, the video was all over the internet with remixes and memes. There were numerous comments bashing Silas, but what about the others? They were making fun of him. “I said turn the damn video off!” he roared. “Alright, alright, chill man.” Doug pocketed his phone, though he still looked quite amused at the expense of his friend. “But you gotta admit, that’s gonna be hard to live down. Nepo kid made you his bitch in like two seconds flat.”“Are you trynna pick a fight with me?” Ace snapped, grabbing Dough by the shirt collar with his fist drawn back.Doug was a big guy with dir
