LOGINI was still a bit shaken up regarding Dante’s call from last night, now added with the vision of father trying to embezzle company funds and run away with it.My day was going wonderful.And then there was that.Flashback~“What do you mean that they are planning on pinning me for the leaked chat incident?” I asked Dante, my voice raising with every single thought about it.“Yes ma’am, they are looking for ways to pin it on you. Saying you fabricated everything and are trying to ruin Miss Pierrepont’s image out of jealousy.” I wanted to laugh at the absurdity of it all.How would I give a fuck about Rozetta’s image to the extent of creating fake profiles to lie against her? I hated her sure, but I am not that jobless.That’s the job of her and her circus monkeys.“They are trying to pin this on you,” he said, bringing me out of my thoughts.“Do you have any idea how they plan on doing this?” I asked. I was a bit intrigued.“They shared in the group chat that we still have access to th
“Hey Elara, are you with us?” I heard someone’s voice echoing from afar.I tried blinking multiple times to try and stabilise my vision. It was still blurry and distorted.I blinked again and this time saw the anxious face of Paisley staring down at me with multiple others who I didn’t know about hovering around.“Alright, give her some room. She just fainted. Let her breathe,” someone who I didn’t recognise said.“If you keep crowding around her she might faint again.” This time with those words they stopped hovering, leaving me alone.I tried to stand up and was assisted by the kind person.“Are you alright, miss?” They asked, placing a protective hand on my shoulder to help stabilise me.They began tying a bandage on my forehead.“Yes, I am fine. Just feel quite faint is all,” I said, trying to get up again.“She has already fainted before. This isn’t the first time,” Paisley answered. I turned to glare at her but it was weaker than I intended.“It’s probably due to stress. You see
“What are you doing with a picture of my mother?” he asked again. I could only stare at him like a deer caught in headlights.What was I supposed to tell him? ‘Hey, I am investigating your mother because she might be linked to the betting ring.’He would most likely tell her that I am doing that, which would alert the others.Not everyone hates their parent like me.I had been silent for far too long. Let me just make up a lie or something.“This is your mom?” I asked, trying to sound shocked.“Yes, that’s my mom, Katherine Draven,” he named like I didn’t have everything about her in my computer.“Oh wow, she looks so beautiful.” I forced shock again. “Didn’t know she had someone as old as you as a child,” I complimented her again, trying to throw him off.“Yeah, she does,” he answered. “What are you looking at her picture for?” He asked again.Would he just let this issue pass? I knew he was suspicious of me.“Her profile randomly appeared on my social media feed. I was zooming in to
It’s been a week since I had the chats leaked. I had been keeping myself busy by focusing mostly on my investigation on the betting ring.While waiting for the investigation of the student union to finish and dish out their judgement.Which honestly had gotten me even more frustrated than ever.It had also been over a week since I last spoke to Kai. I don’t know why not speaking to him affected me more than it should.Hell, I don’t give a fuck about him that much. But I still felt irritated without him here, constantly annoying the ever-living fuck out of me.“What is wrong with me?” I needed to focus on this.But I was still getting distracted. I wove my hands through my hair out of frustration.“Maybe a walk would clear my head.” The idea was feasible. I needed to stop thinking about Kai, and what better way than this.I put on my shoes and left my room. As I walked past, I saw people whispering behind their hands.Which just irritated me more. I fastened my steps, walking towards a
I was still in disarray from my argument with Kai. I still don’t know what he was annoyed about. This matter concerns me, not him.He was acting more like my boyfriend than just the guy I occasionally had sex with to blow off some steam.Could it be that because we slept together that he thought he was my partner? That we were in an actual relationship?I gotta set him straight about us.I wasn’t dating him, nor did he have a right to get involved in my personal life like that. Nothing I did concerned him if it wasn’t about the betting ring.This was getting too much.“So how was it?” Paisley asked. I knew she was going to, but never knew when.“How was what?” I feigned innocence again.“How was your ‘talk’ with Kai?” She air quoted talk, giving it a subtle image.I sighed in resignation. “There was no ‘talk’. We instead argued.”That smirk did not leave her face. “Did you argue on the bed or on your desk?”I just looked at her with annoyance. I had half a mind to smack her with my bo
Me and Paisley were holed up in my dorm room laughing our asses off at the comments from people roasting their weirdo relationship.I didn’t actually release all the chats. I released a few of them. I would use them for next time. I knew they would come in handy.I felt justified and good at the same time. I knew she would get what was coming to her. But I never knew it would feel this good.“Oh my gosh, Elara, read this,” Paisley said between laughs.I read the comments. It was a meme of them roasting her and him.I frowned at this. How quickly those people would switch sides on who they were pouring their hatred towards.I had to make sure I wasn’t on the losing side nor the receiving end. Not because I cared what those spineless cowards thought, but because I didn’t need public opinion to switch against me.It’s the one thing that could help me.“Are you feeling bad for her?” Paisley asked when she noticed my smile fading.“What?!” I yelled in disgust. “I am not feeling bad for her
