All Chapters of What the Prom Queen Didn't Know: Chapter 1 - Chapter 7

Just as I finished retrieving and organizing the flyers, my phone rang. It was the manager, Javier Davis."Christine! Where the hell are you?" he snapped. "Once you finish handing off those flyers, get your ass back in here. Don't you dare hide outside slacking off!""Sir, there was a little incident, so I haven't finished the task yet," I said frankly, trying to explain what had happened.But he cut me off before I could get another word in. "I don't give a damn about your excuses. It's just 500 flyers, and you still haven't done it. What are you good at? I'm docking half your pay today."Before summer break started, my parents and I had agreed that I would work at our family's hotel every vacation to get familiar with the business.Once I graduated, they planned to hand over the entire business to me. On top of that, they promised that if I stuck it out through this summer, they'd double my allowance when the new semester began.Thinking about my empty bank account, I swallowed

A wave of bitter sorrow washed over me.These were my classmates. Even after witnessing the truth with their own eyes, they still chose to spread rumors, frame me, and drag my name through the mud—all just to brown-nose a guy with money and power.And they were doing it for free, without Brandon even promising them a thing in return."They say the majority is always right. Christine, what do you have to say now?" Brandon sneered. "I'll give you two choices: become my side chick, or get down on your knees and lick Jessica's shoes squeaky clean."To tell you the truth, this hotel is going to be mine very soon. If you play your cards right, I might look out for you once I take over. Look at you. You must be desperate for cash. How about this? I'll bump your pay up by 20 dollars a day once I take charge."Everyone in the room erupted into boisterous laughter, praising him for his generosity while pressuring me to bow my head and apologize.I stood my ground, unable to comprehend what

I trusted that Aldo could handle it.Before meeting my mother, he had been a nobody without a dime to his name. But Teresa Sterling saw potential in him and gave him her complete trust.She always said he was exceptionally capable and just needed a break. After they got married, Aldo proved himself through hard work and talent.Even my grandfather, who had been skeptical of him before the wedding, ended up singing his praises.Aldo used to say Teresa was his soulmate, the one person who truly believed in him. He promised he'd give the two of us a lavish life all on his own. I had absolute faith in him.Once I changed into clean clothes and headed back to the room, I caught the muffled sound of voices coming from behind the doors."My dad said your loan is coming due soon," Brandon taunted. "If you don't have the cash to pay up, this hotel belongs to me. Daughter or sugar baby... I don't care what Christine is to you. As long as you hand her over to me, I might just give you a gra

With a high-pitched shriek, Jessica was knocked to the floor, her heavily contour-sculpted nose crooked from the blow.She scrambled back to her feet, lunging at Aldo with her sharp, manicured nails bared."Screw you! You think a washed-up geezer like you is worth my time? You reek of an old man, and it's fucking repulsive!" she spat. "Getting in bed with me was the luckiest moment of your miserable life."A broke loser like you wouldn't get a taste of this in a million years. Who do you think you are, putting your hands on me? You limp-dick leech, you're not even half a real man!"Her screams turned increasingly vicious, and her attacks grew even nastier. She straddled Aldo, gouging at his face until there wasn't a patch of unblemished skin left.But Aldo was a grown man. After taking the initial beatdown, he shook off the shock, snapped, and delivered another thunderous backhand that sent Jessica crashing back down."You crazy bitch, you dare touch me? I'll teach you a good les
