Chapter 36 HOUSE PARTY
THIRD PERSON POV
“ARGH!” Giselle screamed, throwing her pillow to the floor.
The fact that Freya betrayed her, and she was the one smashed into a hospital
it was a humiliation she couldn’t swallow.
“I’ll kill her!” she shrieked.
The door opened slowly.....Nelly and Henry walked in.
“Can you kill a ghost?” Nelly mocked.
Giselle’s eyes bulged at her....sharp and deranged—shutting Nelly up instantly.
“Did you FIND Freya?!” Giselle yelled.
They both shook their heads.
Giselle laughed… a broken, manic laugh.
“That bitch dared do this to me…” she whispered darkly, her smile fading. “Does the news know?”
“No,” Henry replied.
“Then what the fck are you doing? LET THEM KNOW....”
SLAP!
A sudden strike cut her off.
“What the......”
SLAP! Another one, harder, her head snapping to the side.
Giselle froze, stunned.
Nelly lowered her phone, the call still on speaker.
A cold, venomous voice echoed through:
“This message is from Boss. You crazy imbecile—one thing I told you:
KEEP. YOUR. HEAD. DOWN. Don’t make me come to California, or you’re good as dead. I said don’t act rashly. Now you’ve made an UNKNOWN enemy. Pathetic and unethical. Nelly, when you get there, slap some sense into that bitch.”
The call ended.
Giselle stood still… absorbing every word…then let out a dark cackle.
“She thinks she’s my boss now?” she hissed.
Nelly stepped back, among the seven, Giselle was a complete sociopath. Their Boss was a psychopath......Nelly feared both like hell.
“Calm down, Giselle. Focus on recovery,” Henry said lazily from the corner.
“No. I need the netizens to SEE me like this. I want sympathy. Popularity,” Giselle rasped.
The door opened again and Carter walked in.
“Baby,” he whispered, hurrying to her, hugging her tightly. Nelly rolled her eyes at the display.
“Enough with the kissing,” Henry muttered. “Has Arcane been found?”
“No,” Carter replied. “She disappeared. Not even a hair left in her house.”
“She’s good as dead then,” Henry added with a lick of his lips. “She knew nothing useful anyway.”
He moved toward the door.
“I have somewhere else to be. Get well soon, Giselle....”
But Carter’s next words stopped him cold.
“Aaron is back.”
Henry froze.
“What? You mean… Aaron Aaron?”
“Yeah. Worse—he’s the CEO of GLID,” Carter said through clenched teeth.
Nelly gasped.
“Aaron the nerd?” she whispered in disbelief, then laughed. “No way!”
(FLASHBACK: THE DAY CELINA DIED)
“How could you do that?! She was HUMAN!”
Aaron shouted, gripping Carter’s collar so hard his knuckles turned white.
Carter just laughed and took a sip of champagne.
“She was just some regular pussy. She didn’t even notice you, Aaron. Get over her.”
Aaron’s eyes burned.
“All of you… are fcking assholes!”
No one responded. They were too busy.....smoking, sniffing, drowning in drugs.
Giselle was the worst. She mixed cocaine and marijuana like candy, sniffed them all, and started laughing hysterically.....jumping around, pulling up her top and shaking her pierced nipples. Back then in high school, she was a wild animal....no shame, no fear.
Aaron looked away disgusted.
Giselle stumbled to Carter, wobbling, dragging her feet. She undid his belt, pulled down his zipper, and shoved his dick into her mouth, sucking, slurping.....Carter moaned.
“Come on, Aaron. Don’t be a pretty boy, join us,” Carter taunted.
Henry and Nelly were outside the club, making out like dogs.
Giselle stripped naked. Aaron flinched and backed away when she tried kissing him.
She only giggled at his innocence.
Carter was already hard...precum dripping, when Giselle sank down on his dk, bouncing, moaning, riding him like an addict.
“You’re fcking a slut while your friend just died!” Aaron screamed.
Carter ignored him, lost in pleasure.
Aaron’s face twisted in disgust and rage. He adjusted his glasses, eyes burning. He pulled Giselle off and punched Carter.
Carter dodged and tackled him. They crashed to the ground, exchanging punches.
(END FLASHBACK)
“Wow… damn, he’s ripped!” Nelly gasped, drooling over the new shirtless pics of Aaron on Giselle’s phone.
“I was shocked too,” Giselle said softly, for some reason heart raced. Aaron looked… dangerous now....handsome and rich......More than Carter ever was.
Maybe she could....
“Stop.” She drowned the thought. Carter was her best option.....for now. If he ever betrayed her… Aaron would be next on her hook.
“I want his dick now,” Nelly hissed, biting her lip as she scrolled.
“If I knew he’d end up this hot… I would’ve been nicer to him,” she added.
Henry glanced at the pics…then looked away.
Aaron looked like a Greek god, but with the eyes of a mafia king. He said nothing and walked out.
Carter noticed the silence and the jealousy burning behind Henry’s eyes.
Then Carter looked back at the photos....at Aaron’s transformation.He felt sick. Jealous and threatened.
That nerd…turned into a king.
And now his girl and another girl
were drooling over him.
Even in high school, he hated how Celina looked at Aaron. So he made sure SHE never loved Aaron.He played her…
just so she wouldn’t fall for the nerd.
Now that nerd was taking everything. Carter’s jaw clenched, fists tightening.
“We should meet up with Aaron,” Nelly said suddenly.
Giselle nodded, then froze.
A notification popped up:
\[HOUSE PARTY\] A slow smile crept onto her lips.....Nelly mirrored it.
A perfect excuse to see him.
Text message sent: \[Hey, let’s meet up.\]
