Chapter 106
Bailey’s por
Stefan stopped groping me, pulling back with a devious broadened grin on his face.” Hmm I’m not sure our little precious Bailey can handle the truth,” he taunted, his eyes gauging my reaction.
I can’t even look at him, I can no longer look into the face of someone I trusted, someone I saw as my friend. I would’ve guessed Juliet would be behind all this since she had been very blunt about her dislike toward me, but Stefan? So many years of friendship for him to backstab me for what?
Juliet cackled, “Show her, I’m sure little Bailey can stomach the truth. Right, Bailey?” her finger brush against my cheek and I pull away, blinking back tears as I try to breathe through my anxiety.
Pulling away from her must have set her off because Juliet grips my chin harshly before brutally ripping the tape covering my mouth. I wince in pain, certain my lips tore from the brutality. She glares down at me while an evil smirk crawls on her lips.
I spit out whatever had been in my mouth but said not a thing, afraid she’d hurt me even more.
In my mind, I am in a terrible dream, but I know this is the sick reality I am dealing with. The look in their eyes, the disgusting feeling of Stefan’s fingers on me…..it was all too real to be just a conjured up blur in my head.
Stefan digs in his pocket and pulls out his phone. His smirk widen as he scrolls, the blue light so bright it makes him look all the more sinister with the gloominess around us. “Ah here it is,” he chuckled, scrolling and clicking something on the screen.
The room is filled with voices, both familiar. I stiffen, my heart dropping in the pit of my stomach when Kaleb’s voice brushes against my ear. His chuckle, and Stefan’s….
Stefan turns the phone to face me and at the sudden assault of the blue glare on my eyes, I squint from the brutality and try my best to focus on the screen. He wiggles the phone, making it hard to adjust to the blinding light and then pushes it directly in my line of vision.
That’s when I see him, a glimpse of his side but I know Kaleb more than anything, I know his hair, height and even that little freckle on his shoulder. My heart squeezes and I become nauseated.
To think my world had already started to flip upside down from the news of my sister, now to this. It was crashing in such little time. It felt like I could’t catch a break. And as I look at the video it felt like my world shifted into something darker as my ears perk at the words being said between Kaleb and Stefan.
The truth is, I didn’t want to listen. I didn’t want to pay attention so strongly on the hurtful words. I didn’t want to believe. But, I am forced to. I am forced to sit in this chair, forced to watch the happiness I thought was my own, break down into tiny fragments of memories I now wish would erase fully.
So it’s a done deal?” Stefan’s voice filtered through the phone, the tone sounding so cocky and sly.
Yeah, I’I make her fall for me,” Kaleb turns around and somehow faces the camera. His eyes doesn’t light up as though he noticed he was being recorded, which made me believe he was oblivious to it. Or maybe he just didn’t care at all.
Stefan throws out a chuckle, one amusing and taunting. “I don’t think Bailey will fall for you before she falls for me man. She hates
you
Kaleb’s shoulders noticeably stiffens and I took note of the but it’s gone before I could make certain it was what I saw.

He snorts. “If she hated me, she wouldn’t have let me kiss her, I have her in the palm of my hand. She’s mine.” his eyes gleamed dangerously at the end of his words as though he was setting out a threat that aimed at Stefan.
A rush of cold chilling realization hit me like a boulder. It felt like my lungs would collapse as my chest begins to tighten. Shallow breaths rocked out of me as I struggle to breathe..
I zone out the rest of the words spoken between Stefan and Kaleb when I hear the sickly sweet giggle of Juliet. My ears ring and the tears sting my eyes as I try to pull every ounce of will power to stop from showing them my weakness.
“You really thought he loved you huh little Bailey?” Her tongue clicked on the roof of her mouth and I shatter in front of them both.
You were a dare to him. Nothing special,” Stefan chuckled.” Not like you are to me.”
