Derek reached forward to grab the phone from Allison. However, due to the distance between them, Allison was quick to react and move her hand away, taking a few more steps backward before he would grab her phone away from her.


    "Are you texting that Wace guy?" He questioned, his anger palpable as his eyes red in anger at her. "You really are a slut they say you are."


    "You can go ahead and think whatever you want to about me, I don’t care anymore. I’m breaking up with you, and that’s it."


    As Allison was about to leave, dismissing his presence, he grabbed her hand in anger, pulling her towards him as he grabbed her by the chin with so much force Allison thought he was going to break it.


    "You think you can leave me after meeting some new guy, huh? Is that what you think?!!" He yelled out loud, spitting saliva all over her face.


    "Let me go, Derek, else I will scream," she threatened, shooting daggers at him with her re.


    Derek chuckled, hisughter making goosebumps line up on Allison’s skin.


    "You even have the nerve to threaten me. Your wings have grown quiterge since you started fucking that Wace guy. Well, let me remind you, Allison. I still have that sex tape and you’d better not provoke me else I will release it."


    Allison paled, while Derek grinned, satisfied with her reaction.


    "Y-you wouldn’t," Allison stuttered. "You are also in that video. Your reputation will also be tainted."


    "Not at all, darling."


    Allison’s skin crawled as her stomach churned at that wording out of his mouth.


    "Because you see.... In this kind of situation, the focus will be on the woman," he grinned like a maniac, his grin stretching on his cheeks.


    Allison paled again.


    She grabbed his hand and yanked it off her chin.


    "Juste back to me Allison, and no sex tape will be released. It’s that simple," he added, reaching to hold her by the waist, but she took a few steps backward, creating distance between them.


    "Did I forget to mention, if I release the sex tape, your mother could get a heart attack? Then you will have toe back to me, selling your body for money again," he taunted her, enjoying the expression on her face.


    Allison’s mother’s heart was healthy, but the doctor did warn her after the surgery she shouldn’t hear or see anything that would stress her out or worse, give her a heart attack.


    Allison stared at Derek


    "Alright, I wille back to you," she mumbled under her breath.


    Derek gave another satisfied grin, patting her head as if she were a dog that caught a ball in the fetching game.


    "Now, that’s a good girl."


    Allison snorted silently, resisting the urge to punch him right in the face.


    "I need to go now and continue the arrangement for the wee fair," she said. He nodded his head, dismissing her.


    Allison left the ss. Unbeknownst to her, someone had been eavesdropping on their conversation.


    Allison fired another text message to Kace, informing him she was alright.


    She joined Natalie with the arrangement. Then she noticed one person was missing.


    "Where’s Olivia?" She asked Natalie.


    Natalie gave her a side-eye.


    "How would I know where that bitch is? She never stays in one ce. Always chasing after boys with her skimpy clothes, I bet that’s what she’s doing right now," Natalie spat out with so much venom.


    Allison could only sigh at Natalie’s words.


    In no time, the wee fair began with Allison and another senior being the MCs.


    The stage was lit brightly, with different kinds of decorations surrounding it. The chairs were already upied by the students and professors as their attention focused on the stage. Kace’s eyes were focused on Allison as she weed everyone.


    It wasn’t the first time he’d seen her smile so brightly, and like always, the smile didn’t reach her eyes.


    All of a sudden, his eyes caught something or someone. It was a shadow. From the angle, Kace could guess it was the shadow of a woman due to her womanly features. Before he could figure out who that woman could be, his eyesnded on the pole holding up the stage moving slightly.


    He stared down at Allison who was standing in front of the pole, her back facing it.


    His heart raced as he leaped from seat to seat, the murmurs of people who noticed the moving pole shing by him.


    "Allison!!" He called out to her.


    As soon as he stepped foot onto the stage, the pole had already copsed.
