(The Sex Tape)

Catalina looked at the two men who were busy glaring at each other and she gulped. She didn’t understand why they were looking at each other that way but one thing was sure. If she doesn’t interfere then it can escalate

Catalina turned to Frederick

“Umm boss, I-”

“Hey! I have a great idea, why don’t we do a double celebration… All together” Jolie suggested.

“Yeah, that makes sense to me” Franklin said and they all turned to look at Frederick.

Frederick looked at them all and sighed..

“Fine…” He sighed and entered his car.

Catalina heaved out and smiled. Her, Jolie and Thalia entered one car while the rest entered the other before they drove off to their next destination.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<PRINCIPAL’S OFFICE>

“You can check the CCTV footage sir, I was busy discussing when suddenly he attacked me. I just defended myself” Drake said and glared at Calvin.

“And this wacko here suddenly slapped me too.” Aubrey glared at Dream

The four of them had bruises on their faces with their hair scattered

The principal nodded as he checked the CCTV footage and the video was in accordance to what Drake said.

“Calvin Watson, why did you attack Drake” He asked and Calvin just kept quiet

“Since you have nothing to say then.. Drake, we gave you a warning that if you fight one more time again this week your family member will be involved. Tomorrow you’re expected to come with your family member. Calvin you’ll clean the male’s restroom and you’ll do community service for two weeks” The principal said and faced the girls.

“You Aubrey, you slapped Calvin and that’s an act of violence. For that, you’ll join him in the community service and restroom cleaning. Same goes to you Dream” The principal said.

Aubrey made to complain but she just kept quiet.

“You can leave now” The principal said and they all left.

Nelson who was waiting outside immediately stood when they came out.

“How was it? What did he say?” Nelson said.

“Just community service and restroom cleaning for two weeks” Dream said

Calvin turned to Aubrey who was all over Drake, touching and checking his wounds.

“Are you okay babe? Come let’s get your wounds treated” She said and held his hand

Drake smiled and nodded. He looked at Calvin and smirked mockingly and him before leaving with Aubrey.

Calvin looked away…

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<RESTAURANT>

The VIP sector of the restaurant was noisy with the crew eating and discussing.

Foodies like Catalina and Thalia were busy eating like there is no tomorrow

“I love the quality of this wine.. Taste so good” Jolie smiled as she drank.

“Really? My lips tastes much better” Franklin said and Jolie looked at him then chuckled.

“Are you trying to flirt with me? Well I’ll tell you to just quit it coz I have three boyfriends and two in the making” Jolie said

“Whom I feel nothing for” She completed in her mind and then sighed inwardly.

“And I’m sure each of them will be thinking that they’re the only men in your life” Franklin laughed.

“Well men aren’t the only one to play those games too” Jolie said.

“So how many of them did you.. Yunno f*cked” Franklin asked.

“None.. I just play with their brains and money. Once I’m bored, I dump them” Jolie said

“That means I stand a chance then!”

“Get in line dude” Jolie smirked and he chuckled.

Frederick was busy chewing on his meat slowly. His eyes traveled to Catalina and he was startled with how fast she was eating.

He chuckled and when he looked front he frowned when he saw how Marcel was looking at her while smiling.

Frederick suddenly cleared his throat.

“Eheum! Um.. Miss Watson, I didn’t have the chance to tell you how grateful I am with those encouraging words who told me earlier.” Frederick said.

Catalina looked at him and chuckled with her lips stained with sauce.

“Oh don’t worry.. Just make sure you increase my salary” Catalina winked.

“What if I don’t?” Frederick smirked and Catalina frowned immediately.

Frederick chuckled.

Marcel who was watching them discuss frowned.

“Umm Cat-Cat… I have something important to tell you after this. Something I’ve been meaning to tell you since we teens” Marcel said and Catalina diverted her attention to Marcel

“You’ll finally buy me a private jet!” Her eyes brightened and Franklin chuckled.

“What is private jet.. I can buy you three if you want?” Frederick said and Catalina immediately turned to him

Marcel scoffed.

“Too bad money can’t buy someone a nicer attitude” Marcel smirked and Frederick glared at him

Catalina looked at both of them, not knowing what is happening

Meanwhile, Franklin was enjoying the show in front of them.

“Why can’t he fight over me too” Jolie thought sadly and she gulped down her wine at one go.

“Slow down okay? You can easily get drunk” Franklin said

“You’re not my dad!” Jolie snapped

Franklin clamped his lips tight, wondering why her mood suddenly changed

“Here comes the cake!” Catalina said and everyone looked up.

A beautiful cake was placed on the table with “Happy birthday Frederick” on it.

“Can’t believe a day like this will actually come. My man is celebrating his birthday once more!” Franklin said

“Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you Frederick!! Happy birthday to you!!”

They began screaming out loud as Frederick blew the candles.

“Don’t worry, your next birthday will be grandiose” Flynn said and Frederick chuckled.

“Let’s make a toast… To long life and prosperity!” Marcel raised his glass

“To long life and prosperity!” They all clinked their glasses.

“Let’s dance!!” Jolie stood up while staggering. Just by looking at her one will tell she’s slightly drunk.

“C’mon Max let’s dance!” Jolie dragged Marcel up

“But I wanna stay with Cata” He said

“She’s in good company. Come let’s dance!!” She pulled him up and they went to the open space of the area and they began dancing to the soft piano tunes.

“Let’s dance too wifey!” Flynn carried Thalia in a bridal style

“Wait! I’m not yet done eating my turkey!”

“I’ll leave you two. Need to use the restroom” Franklin smiled and left.

Catalina turned to see it was just her and Frederick now. She just smiled slightly and looked back at those dancing, she sighed.

“Why the sad face?” Frederick asked without looking at her as he sipped slowly on his glass of wine with his legs crossed.

Catalina looked at him and sighed..

“Nothing.. It’s just that I really wish I could dance like they too, too bad I can’t try” She muttered sadly.

“Why?”

“Why? I’m androphobic duh!” Catalina rolled her eyes.

“Yes but that doesn’t mean you should let it define who you are… You won’t be androphobic all your life, why don’t you take the first step to breaking out of the chain” Frederick said and finally looked at her.

“But-”

“Let’s give it a try” Frederick said and stretched his hand to her. Her eyes widened.

“I hate owing people so take it as my way of paying you back… You helped me and I’ll do so” Frederick said.

Catalina looked at his hands and then at him..

“But… But… But what if I hurt you?”

“Still doesn’t matter” Frederick shrugged.

“Just close your eyes and imagine me like someone you feel comfortable with” Frederick muttered.

Catalina looked at his hand and then at him. She took deep breaths before she slowly stretched her hand to him with her eyes closed.

As she made to hold his hand,

“Cat-Cat?”

Catalina quickly retracted his hand and looked up. Frederick frowned, slowly bringing down his hand..

What is his problem??

“Cat,, JoJo is already wasted. Let’s go home” Franklin said, carrying Jolie in his arms

“I’m not drunk.. I can still dance” Jolie said drunkenly and hiccuped.

“Umm boss?” Catalina turned to Frederick.

“It’s alright, I understand…” Frederick said

Catalina nodded and stood up.

“Have a nice night boss” She muttered

“You too” Frederick said and she left with Marcel and Jolie

Frederick poured himself a glass and continued drinking..

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<THE WATSON, 8PM>

“It’s not even up to a week you got into that school and you’re already looking for trouble everywhere you go!! What I’m I going to do with you!!” Sarah kept ranting

“Upon all the men it had to be the boss of your sister.. Seriously??”

“I’m talking to you young man!”

Calvin sighed and looked at Sarah who had an angry look on her face

“I already told you mom.. He was planning on doing something bad to a girl and you know very well I can’t stand seeing a girl hurt” Calvin said and Sarah pinched her brows

“Mom, I’m home!” Catalina walked in while smiling.

“Good thing you’re here. Help me advice your brother. He fought in school today” Sarah said.

“He did? Omg! Calvin I hope you gave that dude a beating of his life” Catalina said and Calvin smiled.

“What!! You’re on his side!!” Sarah exclaimed.

“Of course! I coached him well. He can’t possibly fight for no reason” Catalina said

“I love you sis!!” Catalina and Calvin bumped fists

Sarah sighed and pinched her brows.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<REYNOLDS VILLA>

Mr Reynolds wasn’t at home so Drake had the mansion all to himself. Him and Aubrey could be seen in his room, her clothes laying on the floor

Aubrey’s moans filled the room as Drake kissed her wildly with his middle finger buried inside her, fingering her slowly.

“Babe!” She broke the kiss when she couldn’t hold in her moans.

“Ahh!!” Aubrey bit her lips as waves of pleasure coursed through her.

This was the first time someone was doing this to her and the feeling it came with was second to none.

Drake took in her b**bs and sucked on it. She pulled his head more close to her chest as he sucked her like a starved baby.

Drake stopped his administration and he quickly removed his brief, rendering him naked too. He parted her legs and without warning, he rode oughly into her.

“Argh!!” Aubrey yelped out in pains.

He immediately began his rough and painful thrust. Hot tears fell from her eyes as she felt like he was tearing her apart, it was so painful..

Blood flowed and wetted the bed.

“Please.. Slow down,, please” Aubrey managed to beg but her pleas fell on deaf ears

She kept crying silently as he f*cked her hard.. Unknown to her that his phone was recording them.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<JOLIE’S PLACE>

Marcel opened the door to her apartment and he staggered in with her. Her left arm was around his neck as he helped her upstairs.

“Must you drink when you know you’re not tolerant to alcohol?” Marcel sighed.

He walked in her room and placed her on the bed. She groaned and pouted her lips like she wanted to cry.

“Why is it so hot in here?” She whined

Marcel shook his head and helped her out of her heels…

He walked to her wardrobe and brought out a big hoodie before walking back to her.

He got on the bed and made to unzip her gown when Jolie suddenly pulled him down, crashing her lips on his.

His eyes widened.

She broke the kiss shortly and smiled as she touched his lips.

“You look so handsome… I’m pretty too so why can’t you look at me the same way you look at Catalina. Why her and not me?? Why must I be the one to sacrifice huh?” Jolie said hurtfully.

“Jo-”

His eyes widened again when Jolie kissed him for the second time. He quickly pushed her and she slumped on the bed, falling asleep.

Marcel stared at her sleeping face with wide eyes. Is she serious in what she said??

He quickly shook his head..

“No… Jolie can never mean that, she’s just drunk” He thought and undressed her, leaving her in her undies.

It’s not the first time Jolie got drink back then so he’s used to it. He wore the hoodie on her before leaving her room

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<REYNOLDS MANSION>

Frederick began unbuttoning his shirt as he walked in his room. He laid down on the bed and stared at the ceiling. A smile crept up his lips when he thought of Catalina.

He sighed and ran his hands through his hair.

“I know where this is heading to… And I don’t like how fast it is going” He said to himself.

He remembered the silent fight between him and Marcel.

“How embarrassing.. Can’t believe a whole me did that. Does he love her?” He asked himself as then sat up.

He looked at his bandaged tummy and he smiled when he thought about Catalina.. He sighed in frustration almost immediately

“Get a grip of yourself Fred… Stop thinking about her” He said to himself as he headed to the bathroom

✧✧✧✧✧✧

The man walked in the mansion and headed to his room. He met her mother sitting in front of her vanity table, applying her facial cream.

“Son” She said without turning to him.

The man went and sat on the bed then crossed his legs.

“Mom, she’s getting over her phobia at a fast pace” He said and the woman smiled.

“Great! That’s what I want! For her to get over her phobia so that we can use her in achieving our goal” The woman said.

“There’s a problem… It looks like the injection isn’t working because she recently remembered that she was raped” He said.

The woman immediately turned to him

“What!! No!! That can’t be! She must not remember what led to her being raped, it’ll ruin all my plans” She said angrily

“Let’s just ki*ll her mom” He said.

“It’s too late! She has way too many important person as allies, if we do then I’m sure we’ll get exposed! It’s all your fault!! I clearly told you to ki*ll her years ago, the moment she discovered our deeds but you and your stupid friend had to rape her!!” The woman shouted.

“But it’s not our fault… We really thought she was déad. No one could survive what we did to her” He said.

The woman glared at her son and ran her hands through her hair..

What to do now??

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<STARSHIP HIGH>

Aubrey got down her car before her driver drove off. She walked in the gate of the school, slightly limping.

Drake really didn’t take pity on her last night and this morning when she woke up, she couldn’t see him. The maids said he already left for his brother’s house

She couldn’t help but notice the looks the students kept giving her. Some looked at their phone then at her with scornful smile on their lips.

Her brows furrowed.

A car drove in the school and out of it came Drake and Frederick. He was the one who the principal called to come since his father wasn’t available

👥 Look! It’s Drake’s elder brother!

👥 He’s so handsome!!

👥 Did you see the new product they released today? It’s called Magic Beauty

👥 OMG! I need to order mine too

👥 I wish I was old enough to date him. He’s so freaking rich!!

Aubrey’s eyes brightened when she saw Drake. Drake’s gaze fell on her, he smirked.

“Bro, you can go ahead. I’ll join you, need to do something” Drake said

Frederick dipped his hands in his pocket and began heading to the principal office with his bodyguards behind him as the students took pictures of him.

“Babe!” Aubrey rushed to Drake. She made to hug him but he pushed her so roughly that she almost fell.

“Who are you? Oh wait, I remember.. You’re the whore I f*cked last night” Drake smirked and Aubrey’s eyes widened

Are her ears malfunctioning?

“Babe-”

👥 Aubrey is so foolish! She thought Drake could really like her?

👥 Drake even said her p*ssy is so wide!!

👥 Look at Drake’s d*ck! It’s so huge, gosh I wish I was the one

Aubrey’s heart began beating fast. She snatched a phone from one of the students to look and her eyes widened.

No, this can’t be possible… He s*x tapped them and posted it with his own account with the caption

“𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐚 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐞 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐛𝐞 𝐬𝐨 𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 # 𝐏𝐮𝐬𝐬𝐲 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐬𝐚𝐥𝐞 😂”

The phone fell off her hand as her heart began beating faster. She looked up to see Drake with that devilish smirk on his face.

“With all your pride and arrogance, I honestly thought you’ll be very tasty and expensive down there… You’re so loose and tasteless, I wonder if it was really your first time” Drake yawned.

Tears began streaming down Aubrey’s red eyes. She folded her fists tightly.

“You monster!!” She landed a slap on Drake’s face.

Clara quickly rushed to them and pushed them off then landed a slap on Aubrey’s cheek.

“Don’t you dare touch my boyfriend!!” Clara smirked.

“B… Boyfriend?” Aubrey stuttered, her heart beating and hurting even more.

“Yes, we started dating today. Time for him to taste a royal p*ssy, not some boring one” Clara laughed and Drake slammed his lips on Clara’s.

She happily kissed him in front of everyone with her hand rubbing his d*ck.

“I love you baby” She moaned

“I love you too”

Aubrey stared at the scene in front of her with blood shot eyes. No pain in this world can be compared with what she was feeling right now.

She loved him, she trusted him more than her own friend. Her heart felt like it was being stabbed by thousand knife and when she couldn’t take it..

She passed out.

✧✧✧✧✧✧

<R-R INVESTMENT>

“What!!!!!” Roman screamed loudly.

He was staring at the advertisement of Frederick’s new products, Magic Beauty

That was the exact one he was planning to release tomorrow but they outdone him.

He needed no soothsayer to tell him that it was Catalina’s handwork. So she really meant all his threat.

His phone beeped and he looked at it to see a message from an unknown number

“𝐃𝐢𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐥𝐢𝐤𝐞 𝐦𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐥𝐞 𝐬𝐮𝐫𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐬𝐞 𝐞𝐱? 𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐢𝐬 𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐭𝐢𝐩 𝐨𝐟 𝐢𝐭.. 𝐌𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐲, 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐚𝐤𝐞 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐢𝐧𝐡𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐥𝐨𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐳 𝐦𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐜𝐤 𝐢𝐬 𝐜𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐲😂😂”

Immediately he finished reading it, his secretary ran in his office

“Boss!! Boss!! It’s our investors, 80% of them left for Reynolds Empire and we are losing milli-”

Before she could complete, Roman placed his hand on his chest and he began breathing heavily as his asthma kicked in.

“My inhaler… G-Get me my..my inhaler”
