Chapter 26
I paced around trying to think of what to do next. It was like my whole life was over. There was nothing else left.
The press had spread the news like wildfire and I could see how people would react when they would see me.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
My father after he had given me the news stormed out leaving me to fall into one of the board chairs to think of how to solve this.
I had my head in my hands seriously thinking of my next plan. There had to be something I could do.
I could not keep living like this. I know I could let this blow over by staying quiet but the pressure my father had put on me was so much I could not see it working Iike that.
How could things have gone so wrong? Suddenly it hit me that Blair must have read the news. I was shaking on what to tell her only to remember that the article said she was cheating too and she was usually involved in all manner of sexual activities including gangbangs.
Thinking of this hurt me. How could she do this to me? It wasn’t like I did not give her what she wanted. Why would she do this?
I started to think if maybe I was overreacting or if I should call her and know her side of the story.
Calling her seemed like the appropriate thing to do and so I whipped out my phone, dialing her number to call.
I waited for a few seconds on the phone only to find no response from her end.
I sighed, about to toss my phone on the table when it vibrated. I looked at the screen to see a call from an unknown number.
This had me narrowing my eyes. I instinctively knew who this was with the way my body vibrated with rage.
I wanted so much to give this person a piece of my mind.
I could not do it here. This was a boardroom and anyone could barge in and hear my conversations with whoever it was.
Walking out of the room, I started for my office.
“Sir, you have…” my assistant said to me as I turned to put out my anger on her.
“Can’t you see that I’m in the middle of a crisis?! Jeez, use your brain for once in your fucking life!”
I walked away from her while she stood dazed in the middle of the hallway.
When I entered my room, I banged the door shut, clicking it to a lock before heading for the couch.
I looked at my still vibrating phone taking in deep breaths before picking it up.
I heard the familiar robot voice. “Hello, Alexander. We meet again.”
“Now listen here you stupid piece of shit! We had a deal and I kept to my own end of the deal. You broke yours. You promised that it would not be leaked. How dare you?!”
“I promised that the pictures would not be leaked, I never said anything about you and your wife’s hanky panky.”
“They are the same fucking thing!” I yelled leaning back on the couch. “You are a disgrace to those who keep their word and I wish you get hit by a car with the accident being so ghastly you turn to mush!”

Zendaya’s POV
I sipped from my glass of champagne while he screamed off his head. I was not going to let his words hurt me as I was past getting hurt. I enjoyed hearing him scream for help as I listened to his squirming complaints.
All I had done was release a little taste of information and his entire life had come crumbling down. I knew if I released all I knew he would cease to exist. But I did not want to enact my revenge plan so fast.
I wanted it to go slowly and roast him and Blair in the most gruesome way possible. I would not let them out of my sight until I got what I wanted from the both of them. They were going to regret what they had done to me. I would make them regret it.
Grinning while the man screamed and cursed on and on, I taunted him with my laughter which he found irritating.
“What’s so funny?!” he screamed. “If I get you, it’s over for you. Do you hear me?! I will gut you in half and feed you to the dogs! Do you think you can do this to me and get away with it?!”
“Alexander, this is only the beginning,” I smiled.
“What do you mean? Haven’t you done enough damage already? You’ve single-handedly ruined my life. There is nothing you can do to me now that would…”
“In all this scandal, did you see pictures of your wife in her gangbang or you in that hooker’s bed? I don’t think so. That is because I withheld those pictures. I can easily release it and have the public know the whole truth.”
“What do you want?”
“Issue a public apology on what is going on now.”
“What?! I can’t do that. If I do I would be admitting to all the rumors being true. I would lose credibility and trust in the people. No, I will not do it.”
I inhaled with a smile. “Oh Alexander. You have no idea what I am capable of.”
“Please don’t make me do it. I don’t want to. It will destroy everything. Please!”
“I still have proof of you with the sex worker. I can easily release it alongside the pictures of you running naked on the street. Now you should tell me if that would make you reconsider your decision.”
“Please. Please don’t make me do this.”
“I would be ruined.”
I laughed internally because that was the point of all I was doing. He could not report me to anyone as he would be insulted for giving me money.
He was screwed either way.
