AT THE OFFICE
As the door slammed shut behind Rapheal, Mr. Kingston's frown deepened.
He was exhausted by Rapheal's reckless behavior and irresponsible ways. Something needed to be done to snap Rapheal out of his arrogant self.
He dialed a number and waited for the person on the other end to answer.
"Chris, I need you to freeze all of Rapheal's bank accounts, effective immediately. He shouldn't be able to withdraw a single dollar."
There was a brief pause before Chris responded, "Consider it done, sir."
Mr. Kingston hung up the phone, drumming his fingers over the desk,He was doing this for Rapheal's own good, even if Rapheal didn't realize it yet.
THE FREDRICKS MANSION - CECILIA'S ROOM
Cecilia was currently live on Instagram and flaunting her designer clothes to her thousand of followers.
Cecilia was a very proud lady,Very rude and lazy. Her life revolved around social media and she was very obsessed with it.
She liked to post every detail of her life online from what she ate for breakfast,When She wakes up,When she's dressing up, When she's heading out,When she get new designer clothes, Everything! She posts online.
As Cecilia continued to her followers about what she ate, Elsa walked into the room holding a glass of Juice that Cecilia had requested for.
And as always,Elsa do things for her like a personal maid.
Cecilia didn't even notice Elsa's presence until Elsa purposely slammed the door hard.
She looked up from her phone and glared at Elsa before returning her attention back to her phone.
"Okay guys, I'm going to take a sip of juice now. Your baby is very thirsty" She said sweetly to her fans.
Elsa almost cringed at the sound of her sister's fake-sweet voice. If only she was that sweet in person.
She approached her but just as she was about to hand Cecilia the glass of Juice, She missed a step and then the glass slipped from her hands. The juice spilled all over Cecilia's designer clothes and Elsa gasped in horror.
She knew she was in trouble,Her heart was pounding hard against her chest as she stared at the clothes.
Cecilia's eyes widened as she looked down at her ruined outfit. Elsa took a step back,fear written all over her face.
And the next thing she knew, Cecilia slapped her hard across her face. The slap was loud and harsh and Elsa felt a stinging sensation on her cheeks, she saw stars for a moment and her ears rang from the impact of the slap.
"You clumsy idiot!"She shouted in anger. "Look at my clothes, it's ruined now!", Do you know how much this costs huh!?"
Elsa took a step back,Her hands instinctively rising to touch her sore cheeks.
"I didn't mean to, I... I'm sorry..." Elsa stammered, her eyes welling up with tears.
"Sorry?" she repeated coldly.
"Sorry isn't going to fix my ruined outfit, Elsa."
Elsa took another step back, her eyes brimming with tears. "I'll help you clean up, Cecilia. I'll do your laundry, I'll-"
"Just get out, Elsa! Get out of my sight before I lose my temper completely!"Cecilia interrupted her,her voice rising in a loud shout.
Elsa ran out immediately, tears streaming down her face. The slap hurt her alot.
"Stupid, Stupid Elsa. Why didn't I walk properly,Why am I always messing things up"She muttered to herself, crying even more.
Elsa was very sensitive,A crybaby who cries over small and big things but the slap hurt a lot. It was a mistake, She didn't mean to spill the juice on Cecilia but as always she hits her over small things.
"Why do they hate me so much?"She sniffled, heading towards her room. She always tried to avoid her Stepmother at all cost cuz she didn't want to do anything to make her mad.
Elsa rubbed her sore cheeks and her eyes were filled with sadness. She wished she was with Triston and Darlina right now, She missed them alot. They were the only ones that made her happy but now she was stuck here as a punishment from her Stepmother.
She sighed and then sat on her bed, She began writing a song. It was a hobby,An habit she does whenever she was sad to make her happy.
LEXINGTON INSTITUTE- CANTEEN
"Elsa didn't come to school today"Triston muttered,his voice filled with concern.
"I'm sure the witch punished her again today"Darlina responded, frowning.
They Both knew about Elsa's Stepmom and Stepsister maltreating her, She had told them about it but even if she hadn't,It was pretty much obvious.
Darlina and Triston had both met them in person countless times and they always noticed how Elsa was treated differently.
"I just hope she's alright"Triston sighed,his expression filled with worry.
"Me too,I swear if I even notice a scratch on her body. They are dead"Darlina said,her eyes very cold.
Triston Smiled, knowing she could do that if she had the chance to.
"By the way,The video of Dylan and Carmila fucking is all over the school. Carmila had been so embarrassed that she left school and that arrogant Dylan was so furious!"Triston laughed and Darlina only shrugged, sipping her juice quietly without responding.
"Why aren't you saying anything?"He asked, studying her face.
"I have nothing to say"She responded curtly.
Triston said nothing, continuing to look at her with a knowing gaze. "You're the one that uploaded the video right?"
Darlina stared at him blankly, trying to maintain a poker face,Why must he know everything?
"And what makes you think I did that?"She asked, playing cool.
"Because I know you"He deadpanned. "You're my best friend"
Darlina rolled her eyes, taking another sip of her juice. There was no use lying when he already knew the truth.
"I did it"She admitted quietly.
"I know"He whispered, leaning close to her.
"Why the hell are you whispering?, It's weird"She mumbled, shifting away from him but he leaned closer.
"Do you know what Dylan would do to you when he finds out you did that?"He asked softly,eyes filled with concern.
Darlina felt a weird sensation in her chest and it annoyed her.
"You're too close"She pointed out and he stared at her for a second before leaning back to his chair.
"As I was saying..."
She interrupted him coldly. "He won't find out and even if he does, I'm not scared of any of them."
Tristan sighed. "But...."
She stood up abruptly. "I'm heading to a more quiet place,Are you coming or not?"
Triston immediately stood up, gathering their things. "Do you even need to ask? Of course I'm coming with you"He rushed Over to her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders.
That warm feeling in her chest came back when he touched her and she frowned. She didn't want to admit it but Triston's touch always made her feel all fluttery inside.
She ignored it and placed her left arm around his waist while they walked together earning jealous stares from girls but none of them cared.
