Chapter 57 Blackmail, threats and nudes
MIDNIGHT PACK
Amelia looked around her to ensure no one was following her. She tried to quicken her pace and almost fell flat on her face when her leg hit a stone. Despite being covered with a hoodie, Amelia still felt frightful that she might get caught. This is what she gets for playing fool for love.
Her chest tightened as she kept up with the walk, wondering what her mother would think if she finds out about the shit she got herself involved in. Amelia had found herself walking with a determined gait in the early hours of the morning going to meet the last person she intends to see. Judging by her rude countenance and overtly bossy attitude, one would think that was how she lived everyday of her life whereas the case was extremely different and she is submitted and subdued by a single person just like every other individual. Probably not as silly as hers though.
As Amelia got closer and she sighted Henry Clark flapping his hands, looking nervous, her heart sunk into the deepest hole of her belly. Observing his features, one could tell he had aged further and there was no other reason except for the fact that it was her fault. She would have never thought to indulge in such disgusting act with someone old enough to be her father but she kept reassuring herself that it is all for love.
Jared had been her lover since age fifteen. He might appear timid but Jared has wild thoughts and imaginations that tickles her fancy so much that she can’t seem to get enough of him. And it made sense to stick with him since they were tagged as mates. Things got out of hand when she clocked seventeen and went wild having fun with being free. She got a chance to do whatever she wanted. At that time Amelia had, had a fall out with Jared due to some sort of cheating on his part. And to spite him, she had hooked up with a college guy in one of the wild parties she got invited to.
Her drink got tampered with and one way or the other she ended up fucking two different guys. That wouldn’t have been an issue if it ended there but to her horror, she was sent pictures of her nudes with two different dicks on her side. It was too embarrassing and it was sent to her by no other person than Jared. He threatened to ensure the whole pack gets to see it if she doesn’t get back with him.
To cover up her trails she had to do by his will only for them to get back together in less than six months and Jared already had something else on his sleeve.
His father’s company had began to experience some financial trouble, as his father had indulged in a shady deal costing his company to be at the brink of bankruptcy. Jared is one of the popular and wealthy kids in school. There was a dire need for him to keep up with his status quo. Allowances were no longer regular.
Jared in order to make money, he had gotten into a group chat where nudes are sold to rich men for money. Amelia’s nudes were mouth watery and Jared couldn’t resist putting them up for sales. After all, according to him, Amelia still owes him for cheating on him.
Discovering Henry Clark, was also on the group page as he had liked one of Amelia’s nudes Jared had put up without a face at first. The thought of having one of the most respected men in the pack being a member of such immoral group had Jared thinking on a deeper level. Seeing it as an opportunity to earn more, Jared devised a plan to get him hooked instead by private chatting him with the nudes and promising to get him the exact girl. A gullible Henry couldn’t resist the offer and fell for it. He couldn’t tell anyone either, since it was against the group’s rule to hook up with the owner of the nudes. It was all meant to be kept a secret.
So Jared devised a new plan to pimp Amelia by using her nudes as a leech on her. Only for Amelia to meet with the supposed client and it turns out to be Alice’s father. When she had grumbled about it, Jared had informed her that he was less concerned and all that mattered was her getting enough money for him to survive from Henry.
Hearing Jared boast about his sense of reasoning, had Amelia torn apart and she wished to do something awful to Jared and have him bleed to death. But, she was too much of a coward to do so. Also, it would only lead to her getting wanted by the law officials and that would be the end of her already miserable life.
Her life had began crumbling down from that moment and there was no particular sign that it would get over soon. Henry Clark wasn’t exactly a target just unfortunate and ever since then they began an affair with each other. It had been one money extortion to another and the recent one that she couldn’t stomach anymore was lying about being pregnant. Before sleeping with Henry, to save herself from embarrassment, Amelia had gone to the hospital to inject herself to stay safe.
On days of her heat is when she mostly meets up with Henry Clark, it was almost as if on cue and it annoys her so much. No matter how hard she complained about the risk, Jared would never listen and would send her off. He knows about all of her conversations with Henry Clark since he had her phone bugged.
Amelia rubbed at her temple, it felt like her head would burst into pieces as it was overwhelmed with thoughts. Jared had ran into a debt with some gang. He indulged in self injecting and had gotten extremely addicted to it. He had brought up the idea of her being pregnant, when she tried to resist it, he threatened her even more. It didn’t come as a surprise to her that he had nudes of she and Henry together. The money asked for was too exorbitant for a mere abortion which Henry had paid it in good faith but Jared was still not satisfied.
Anonymously, Jared went ahead to start blackmailing Henry with the pictures and threatening to send it to his wife. To avoid entangling herself in the brewing mess, Amelia had told Henry that she was no longer interested with a claim that her boyfriend was getting suspicious. To her surprise, Henry pleaded for her to not break up with him as his marriage would be in ruins.
When Amelia confronted Jared, he told her he had intentionally put a leash on her knowing she was about to escape him. He had outsmarted Amelia and was playing the both of them perfectly. Amelia had totally forgotten about him bugging her phone. The whole issue was beginning to make her lose her mind.
There was no one Amelia could relay her problem to or even trust. All of the friends she has were just as fake as she was and none of them could be counted on. They were only friends with her because of her status and most especially since she took great joy in bullying others.
Having to deal with a monster that one created by oneself appears to be suicidal. Amelia shivered when she was just two feet away from Henry Clark. Henry looked up at her with a dark eye bags hidden in the safety of the hoodie he wore. His lips fixed in a thin line almost like he was unsure of what to say.
Henry dropped his hands into his pocket. “You destroyed my family even after pleading with you.” He growled.
Panic set in with Amelia as she raised her hand up to try to explain herself. “I promise, I know nothing about this.” She swallowed the saliva in her throat. “I was intending to end it. I have no intention of keeping you either.”
Henry scoffed. “Why do I have a feeling that you know who is behind the blackmail.” It was more of a statement.
Tears laced Amelia’s eyes. “The guy who hooked us up…he is my boyfriend.”
Henry released a dry laugh. “You amuse me every time. Your boyfriend? How the hell did he get nudes of us?! He was never in the rooms with us!”
“I wish I could tell but he has been bugging my line for a while now and probably spying on me. He has a hold on me just like he does on you.” Amelia looked helpless.
Henry stared intensely at her as he tried to figure out if she was actually saying the truth. Judging by her countenance, he could tell she was just as helpless as he was. Stomping his feet angrily against the ground and he moved towards her. “I don’t give a damn if your boyfriend is behind all of these things! But better be sure none of those nudes gets released for your own good!” He gritted.
