Molly:The time for the event drew closer, and my heart grew nervous. This was an opportunity for me to take back my dignity but something felt off. After I had changed the schedule, I made my way to Larry's office.When I got to the door, I took a huge breath, and I tried to keep a neutral expression. I prayed deep down that I wouldn't fumble due to my emotions. I had to take them by surprise because that was what they all deserved— the taste of their own medicine.After I had conditioned my mind, I opened the door, and I saw Rose sitting on Larry's lap. They were making out with their faces buried deep into each other to the extent that they didn't notice I was standing there. My eyes widened in shock, and I wondered how Kate met someone as terrible as him.I watched her run her hands around his body, and he groped tight on her butt, literally squeezing life out of it. They were about to go second base when I cleared my throat, because I could no longer stomach the sight. This star
CHAPTER next Seeing myself on public display was supposed to be an issue of concern but I wasn’t bothered, instead I was glad that Larry’s cheating ass would be under fire. The way his face was contorted made a smile creep up my lips. My victory was short lived when I heard something funny. Then I turned around to see that the video on display was nothing but fake. And doctored. Instead of the video of Larry trying to rape me, it showed videos of me consenting. And taking the lead. He was the one who placed my hand on his crotch but here it seemed like I grabbed it on purpose, and Larry was trying to set himself free. It seemed as though the video was recorded backwards. The chatter from the crowd continued while my face fell, and I swallowed hard. There was no doubt this was Larry’s handwork, but what baffled me was that they were two steps ahead of me. “That is enough! Who the hell turned this goddamned thing on? Do you no longer love your job?” Larry roared while my body stiffene
Molly:The next time I opened my eyes it was night time, and I found myself lying on the bed with an empty bottle in my hand. My head was aching from all I had taken, so I forcefully pushed myself up to get pain killers.As soon as I stepped out of the room, I heard Kate yelling over the phone. My heart skipped a bit when I heard what she was conversing about. The phone was on speaker, and I recognised Larry's voice asking her to calm down and not do something irrational to me. "All she could do was come home, and empty a bottle of my wine. She should be on her feet begging for mercy. I can't believe i spent my whole life investing in this friendship,""Fuck!" She yelled, slamming her hand on the table. It sounded more like a movie because I couldn't believe Molly would pick his side of the story over mine. She was right about the investment in friendship. We had been friends for long, and knowing she chose to believe him over me hurt so much.My head was banging, and I placed my h
Farrell:Molly's guts pricked my heart badly. She needed help but she was too stubborn to admit it, and I was torn between going over to help her and letting her suffer for the consequences of her action. This was never in my plans for her. Everything was supposed to be perfect if she had listened to me, but she decided to go her own way, and even though it was failing, her pride was at its peak.The fact she blocked my number made it worse. I had to find a way to take my mind off this woman but it wasn't working. I wanted to be with her, and seeing her in trouble bothered me a lot. The funny part was that this was my own problem because bit didn't seem to prick her conscience. Maybe I came off too strong to her but I was pissed, having to find out in the media. I didn't trust her boss, and she concealed everything about him.How can one person have such an influence on you? How soft have you become? I questioned my reflection as I stared into the mirror. Remembering the last time I
Molly:I thought that sleeping and waking up the next day was going to take away my problem, but it didn't. In fact it made it worse, because the moment I opened my eyes and checked the current news, I saw pictures of Farrell and I everywhere. If he considered leaving me alone, he was definitely going to come for me this time. Seeing this angered me, and I racked my brain on how this could have happened. Farrell was quite popular in Italy but no paparazzi would dare trail a mafia boss, but they were a handful here. This made my fear of being stalked creep in. I pushed myself out of bed, and rushed out of the front door. I surveyed the environment, and saw that no one was around. Then I went back inside, and slumped into the couch. While I racked my brain, the only person that I could think of was Mich. He was the only one that knew about Farrell here, and he could have easily used it against me. I thought I could buy myself some time since Kate gave me a week but the fact that the
Farrell:"I think your problem is the fact that you won't stop watching the American news," Courtney said, diverting my attention.I bored my eyes into hers for a moment, contemplating on listening to her or ignoring her for what she did to me yesterday. Even though I knew that was the only way I could have gone to sleep, it would have helped if she asked for my consent instead of taking me out with a shot."What gives? You are all over the news, and that's her problem to deal with. The Americans can't come over to Italy to arrest you even if you've committed some crime, and you are backed up by the Italian government. Your family is connected with the Londoners, they have your back!" She yelled, throwing her hands up in the air while slumping back on the couch in my room."I know! But how about Molly? How will she get back here with the media? They are fucking outside her house, and I don't know if she is in there," I said, hoping she would understand.There was no doubt that I was
Molly:Daniel seemed really nice, and I hoped I would get something out of what he gave me. I prayed my efforts wouldn't be in vain. The train stopped after an hour, and I boarded a cab to the airport.On my way to the airport, I tried reaching Farrell. I unblocked him, and called his number. His phone rang the first time, and there was no answer. The second time it went through, he picked, but before I could speak, I heard a female voice."Never call this line again," After this the person ended the call. At first I thought it was a joke but when I tried to call again, it wasn't going through, and this made me believe I had been blocked. It was fair if I was getting blocked by him, but the thought of him moving on with another woman seemed weird. I boarded my plane and tried not to think too much about what had happened. Everything would sort itself in nine or ten hours.********The flight landed at night, and I got off the plane then I boarded a taxi to Farrell's house. If he had
Molly:When I arrived at the hotel, I booked a single room then I checked in immediately. The room wasn't very extravagant. It had one bed which was normal in size, a tiny refrigerator. But I could boast that the bathroom was very clean, and the room too. That mattered more than size and luxury for me. I took off my clothes then I had a bath to wash away the stress embodied in me. After that I took out my laptop, and the drive which the man had given to me. I was torn in between being scared, and eager to see what it had. This was supposed to be the answer to my problems, and the evidence that Kate needed to survive.After much contemplation, I plugged the drive into my laptop, and when I opened it, I saw multiple files in it. I didn't know which to start with. I saw the video of Larry and I that night, but I didn't want to go through it, because it would only make me angry.Step by step, I began to go through other files that were available. Seeing videos of him and Kate fucking mad
