“Thank you, thank you,” I say, swaying my hands out to the sides as I drop into a bow.
“Little Bird, I want to fuck you so much right now,” Sebastian growls into my ear as he pulls me into his lap, his hard dick stabbing into my ass.
“I take it you hacked her cell?” Hunter asks, darkening the mood and reminding us all why we’re here and what my performance was all about.
“Wait,” I say, lifting my hand into the air, just as Clay is about to speak. Turning to Sebastian, I glare at him. “Was this necklace eighty fucking grand? Did I just prance around campus with eighty grand bouncing around my neck?”
“It looks beautiful.” Sebastian says, running his finger along the necklace and then down between my breasts.
“Take it off. I can’t believe I’ve been hanging around the pool in a necklace worth this much money.”
Scoffing softly, he reaches up and unclasps the chain, letting the warm metal pool into a puddle in his palm.
“Don’t do that, it might break,” I snap, carefully taking the chain from his hand and reclasping it so it can’t knot.
“Do you want me to take it back upstairs?” he asks.
“Yes,” I say.
“Later,” Clay says, interrupting. “I hacked her cell, and it seems like Miss Courtney did not enjoy this reunion quite as much as we did.”
Everyone’s cells all beep at the same time, and several screenshots of a message stream pop up on my screen.
Courtney : I’m going to sell the photos to the papers and Pornhub.
Tom : What? Why? You can’t do that. I’ll lose my job. The plan was to blackmail them. You said they’d pay anything to keep those pictures off the internet.
Courtney : I asked for ten million, just like you said, and she told me to fuck off. Starling is just his toy; he’s using her to get an heir, and then he’s going to dump her the moment that baby pops out.
Tom : So let’s blackmail him. That was the plan. It’s what I said we should have done in the first place. Like you said, she’s just a nobody. It’s his money, not hers.
Courtney : I tried. I messaged him, I told him his wife was being blackmailed, that we had pictures and videos of them, and that we’d sell them to the press. He laughed. He didn’t care. Then he said he’d find out who I was and that he’s make me suffer
Tom : What the fuck, Courtney? Does he know it was you?
Courtney : I don’t know. Maybe. But if he doesn’t already, he’ll figure it out. I don’t know what to do. I saw the things they did to kids who stepped out of line in high school. I’m so scared.
Tom : Where are you? I’ll come and get you.
Courtney : I can’t, I’m too scared. We need to strike first. We need to sell the pictures. Maybe you can get more pictures? Or video?
Tom : Let me come to you, baby. I’m so fucking sorry. I said we shouldn’t do this. We should leave, go somewhere safe, somewhere away from the Lockwoods.
Courtney : I don’t think I’ll ever feel safe again. He’s too powerful, he’ll find out it was us, and he’ll find us. That’s how he was when we were teenagers. Starling ran away from him, and he followed her across the country, and stalked her for years. Once he becomes obsessed, he’s crazy. She hated him so much in high school and even when she first came to college, but he’s completely brainwashed her. She looks at him like he’s her savior now.
Tom : So what do we do?
Courtney : We have to hurt him before he can hurt us.
Tom : We don’t have the power to hurt a man like him. He’s too rich.
Courtney : The only way to hurt him is to hurt her.
Tom : Hurt her how? She’s untouchable, she never leaves the house without her security.
Courtney : But you’re there. You could wait for him to go out and get to her. You could scare her the wayI’m scared right now. You could hurt her the way he wants to hurt me. You could take her away from him and make him suffer for the rest of his life.
“Holy fuck, is she trying to convince him to kill you?” Bunny gasps.
