Nesta
I try to control my breathing, try to calm down but nothing is helping.
If those photos are published, it would mean hell for us.
I need to calm down and think of a way to delete those photos. And i can't do that blinded by my anger.
I take a deep breath and exhale, calming myself.
First, i go to my room, careful to get on my floor unnoticed and slip into my room, locking the door with a key.
I switch on the light and find my room cleaned up, the whole view of the city, welcoming me from the tinted glass window
I change into a nightgown and pull my hair down, the headache finally going away.
I take my phone from my nightstand and make a phone call, calling the only person who can help me
Okay, now what can i do?
Next week. Next week, there will be the masquerade he will for sure attend, and all his stuff will be there.
Jett mentioned a small timid that he never carries his phone around and leaves it up in his room, when she was trying to call him once.
I can try and sneak up to his room and delete the photos. I got in touch with a friend of mine to hack his iCloud, but apparently, i need to have the phone on my hand to be able to because he has high security protection in his iCloud. Ugh, of course he does.
So, the only way to do this is to break in into Sentor Mori's son's room, in which if i'm caught, i might cause some serious trouble and have to tell the truth, causing even more chaos.
I can't tell anyone from my family. My parents will go for their throats and Senator Mori isn't someone you want as an enemy and i love Jett and don't want to be forced away from her.
If i tell Cole, he will kill someone, probably cooperating with Oliver, and Lotta can't keep secrets.
Ugh, i feel so fucking trapped. At least there's Mio who knows. My hacker friend. The one i asked for help. If she can help me pull this up, i'll owe her for life.
Until then, i'll have to wait for a week and formulate a good plan.
If this plan doesn't work, i'll have no choice but to bow to him.
Come to Thunder Bay Why would he want that from me? What does he earn with me being there?
I lay on the chaise longue, watching the whole city in front of me. One of my room's wall is completely tinted bulletproof glass, that way i can see the whole city.
In the end of the bridge, you could see the small seaside town with huge secrets. Thunder Bay.
I asked Mio for his file, every thing about him.
Of course, in a matter of seconds, she found it and sent it to me.
If you want to beat your enemy, you have to know everything about them
I open the file and unravel everything about him
Name:Madden Fox Mori
I snort at his middle name. Fox. I mean yes, he was sly as a fox and had those sharp eyes- why am i ranting about his eyes? Focus
Date of birth:10th February
Aquarius. Of course.
Place of birth:Meridian City
Education: Finished high school at Thunder Bay Prep, 16 years old. Finished college in Harvard at 19, majoring at Forensic sciences.
Starting his first year of masters in Trinity College
Which means that next year, he'll be at Meridian City
Accomplishments: Created two Graphic Design Companies at 17, the companies were a huge success. Sold them for 1.2 billion dollars at 19.
My jaw is on the floor. Okay, that's impressive. I could barely pass physics in high school. He made huge companies
But then i get to his medical history
Nothing. But here's the thing.
It isn't just because it's nothing. It's because it was erased.
Well, that suspicious
He wants to play with me, to toy me... to break me.
He was my nightmare come alive
It was all clear in his cold dark brown eyes which had a tiny bit of green in them, that he was in this for having fun.
A sadist.
Unlucky for him, i was nobody's toy.
Suddenly, a text from an unknown number pops up in my phone.
Sleep well muse and make the right choice
Huh?
How-Where did he get my number?
—— 1 week later
Okay, today is the day. The day that i delete those fucking photos and pray i never meet my nightmare again.
I look into the mirror and see my look.
The black completely backless dress hugs my every curve. It's the same dress that Lily-Rose Deep wore to the Met Gala with the golden chains but the missing back makes it more provocative, the snake tattoo i have on my back visible, covered only by my hair
The cold metal of the chains sends goosebumps to my body.
The low scoop neckline shows my breasts suffocated inside the dress. It's a textured polyester dress and i cant wear a bra anyway, cause i can't ruin the look.
My hair, this time are free, straightened and the front hair tucked behind my ear with only two strands free near my face.
My eye makeup is natural but has a bit of gold in the corner of my eyes, like the chains of my dress but for my lips i went with a cherry cola lip that made me look bold and daring but it also gave me confidence.
I needed the confidence. To match the look, i wore gold Jimmy Choo strappy heels and the gold coin medallion i always wear.
Jett will love the look. That's for sure
I think, she is plotting of a way for me to make her my stylist so she can dress me up like a doll.
I chuckle at the thought.
I close my eyes and take a deep breath, then look at the mirror again.
I will not be afraid. I have promised that to myself.
Taking my purse, i put my phone,cigarette pack, Zippo and lipstick. In the last week i've extended the limit of smoking, that Cole actually took the cigarette pack from me. Cole.
There was always vodka and tequila. I drink a lot when i'm stressed. As long as i'm sober for the event, it's good. It helps me cope.
I've started smoking and drinking since i was fifteen. After...after the accident and my skating break.
Yeah, believe it or not, i was one of those ice princesses. Today i'm the ice queen though.
I can't be weak tonight. He already thinks i'm a prey.
And if there's one thing i know is that i'm no one's prey.
I put on my twisted hoop gold earrings then taking my purse i exit my room, making my way to the elevator.
The lobby is just as lavish as the whole building, golden and white
Getting in the elevator, i press 14 to my parents' floor and the elevator starts escalating.
In the mirror in front of me, i see my reflection and i actually feel.. pretty. I love this feeling. It makes me feel good about myself
I arrive at the floor and find my parents, Charlotte, Oliver and Cole sitting on the couch.
My mother, like always, stunning, dressed in a silk dress the same color as her hair, and her hair in an updo.
Charlotte dressed in a green sparkly dress with a sweetheart neckline and a slit. Like a princess.
Cole is dressed in an black buttons down and black trousers, making his grey eyes pop even more and Oliver in a black tuxedo, his golden hair standing out
My dad in a simple tuxedo, making him and mom look like those magazine couples everyone wishes to be.
I would wish to have what they have. Except for the undeniable love you can see in their eyes, they share huge respect for each other and great communication.
My father always asks about her opinion and the same goes for her, so miscommunication was never an issue.
"Someone is shining bright" Oliver says to me with a bright smile on his face, getting up and taking my hand, spinning me like a princess and i let out a giggle.
"When did you grow up so fast? I could swear yesterday you were ten. Now you are going to college next year." Nostalgia shines in his eyes and to be honest, i think about that too. Now i'm almost a fucking adult.
"Well, i wasn't going to stay a little girl forever."
He kisses my head "You'll always be my little star. My baby sister that threatened to beat me with a hair brush because i touched her doll."
"Don't cry on me." i joke.
"You know he's emotional when it comes to you." Cole jokes "You're his baby sister."
"And not yours?" i lift a brow, folding my arms around my chest
"The baby tittle was taken by Lottie." he ruffles Charlotte's hair, putting her in a head lock
"My hair!" Charlotte yells, pushing Cole away and immediately checking herself at the mirror.
"Never mind, you are my favorite even though you put me in a cigarette crisis. You are not a drama queen at least."
"Nesta Diellza Thatcher, you smoke?" Mom gasps in shock.
And.... i'm fucked.
Cole rushes away from the room before i can hit him in the head with my heel.
When i get you Cole, i swear to fucking God-
