Chapter 27: Trapped, Defeated and Vulnerable

✕♛✕♕✕✕♛✕♕✕

I watched heartbroken, as she walked out of the room, and possibly out of my life for the second time. Her cries echoed through the walls and halls. It was replaced as loud clap was heard, soon followed by actual cries from the bitch herself, if I could reverse time I would and I wouldn't have felt scared to tell her what had happen between Chloe and I.

If I could've reversed time, I would have kept my eyes open, and maybe none of this would happen.

I walked down the hallway by myself to the bathroom, apparently someone had put dog kibble flavoured cupcakes with mustard frosting for desert. I was half way down the hall when I saw a blonde escape the bathroom in her Ladybug costume, she took one glance at me before her face was replaced with a sinister grin.

Chloe strode towards me, and I could already feel myself backing up towards the wall like the scaredy cat I was. "Hey Adrikins" she purred seductively, Or tried, she already looked like she was getting wet just by looking at me. I knew she was checking me out only which I could only hold back my vomit.

She tip toed herself higher, her lips were only millimetres away from my ear, I stood there with an emotionless face, "Adrien you should think about what you say out loud..." she paused before continuing, "You never know who's ears are around to hear" she pulled back and slid her phone out of her pocket. As she was typing in something I noticed it was the new iPhone 7 that was released a while back.

Chloe cleared her throat, I looked back at her, she had a wide smirk which I assumed she thought I was checking her out. Her finger gently tapped the screen and the video played, my eyes widened as the video played of Marinette and I's conversation earlier.

The horrendous video stopped leaving me shocked, utterly shocked on how low Chloe was willing to go. I shook my head  and stared at her, I felt my features tense as she still stood there with a smirk of triumph and victory. No sense of guilt was written anywhere on her face.

"What are you doing to do with that video Chlo? Edit it and put one of your signature selfies on top of marinettes face and edit the audio making it sound like I'm saying it to you?" I state sarcastically,

"Maybe I will, but no. I'm going to show this to your father when we have our meeting at our house" I felt time had stopped, my jaw hanged open and my eyes were as wide as two saucers. Two things were running around my mind, like two panicked people.

One was, if my father knew about this he could potentially ruin Marinette's dream of becoming a fashion designer, or better yet ask Chloe's father to shut down her parents bakery. Leading to a whole can of worms with the press and all.

Two, I was never informed by my father about this? Unless Natalie called, fortunately for the past days I've had my phone on silence due to the amount of detentions for my phone ringing.

I shut my jaw, and blink a few times before returning to my emotionless face. "Really Chloe? Your going that low for my attention and affection? Along with my consent for this engagement?" My Eyes pierced through her, scanning for any sign of fear or regret. Nada.

"That and I want Marinette to be crushed, ever since that day when I got my suspension in the fourth grade, I knew you still had feelings for that rat. What better to make her feel defeated is taking the thing that made her smile!" She burst into witch like cackles before clearing her throat.

My blood was boiling, I knew Chloe had a history for getting what she wants the dirty way, "I have a deal, next Saturday is when we will have to sign our contract, now since I'm aware your father is a very observant person and knows when ones lying he will call us out just like that." She snaps her fingers for demonstration before continuing,

"You and I both know that my Daddy can do hell on your father's company, it will affect the company and your father in horrible ways. So I'm giving you this, I will permanently delete this video if you decide to dump Marinette and practically be the same cold way you were to her once. Kindergarten all over again, If you don't comply with these terms, I will make sure her parents bakery die in flames, along with your father's reputation and her so called 'dream' of being a  fashion designer" She sounded breathless, looking at me with a devious glint in her eyes.

The game she was playing was dirty, absolutely disgusting. But that's how the Mayor kept his position as Mayor of Paris, it's how the Bourgeois are. Marinette's soul dream was to be a fashion designer for my father's company or better yet for her self. It would break Marinette to not be able to achieve that goal her life was surrounded by, she wouldn't be able to go to her Bakery for help because that could also be ruined and demolished.

I was trapped.

Marinette will lose something either way, if I agree to this she would get over it right? Heartbreak is only temporary if you allow yourself to let go of what it caused. If I don't comply, she would be happy now but future wise? Her parents could find it hard to find jobs ending up in financial problems, and without Marinette's soul Dream, they would most likely get kicked out of there apartment.

Or either way they would with the amount of power Chloe has in this situation. Hell, either way Marinette will suffer the consequences and I don't want that.

For a long time I looked at her, I saw the sadness I caused when I was little, the scar I left on her. Those words haunt me, but not as much as they Haunted her. I could see how she would zone out, leaving only a pale colour in her eyes, I used girls in our school to numb my pain, all I could think about was Marinette.

But now if I kiss someone else, it doesn't feel the same. I don't feel that spark or happiness I have when I'm with some else.

Pain clutched my heart as everything came into full view, Marinette will be crushed one way or the other, now or later it wouldn't matter.

I held my gaze somewhere else, as the regret and pain settled in. "I a-agree.." my voice was strained and hitched, it didn't sound like me at all. Chloe eyes lit up as if she had heard something, her finger was lifted and pointed to my chest. "Seal the agreement with a Kiss Adrien, and I don't mean just a quick peck on the lips..." She whispered.

It happened so fast her lips were on mine, I could feel my eyes close, My inner voice said,

*

Her tongue thrusted into my mouth, and with the little energy I had I let her have Dominance, she pulled away and started to leave sloppy kisses down my neck, I couldn't react. I didn't want to.

I felt like I was getting violated, I felt like I was being raped, my virginity slipping through my fingers. When I think about it, is this what girls feel when I steal their virginity?

Before I could give an answer to my own question, I felt Chloe's lips on mine. Absentmindedly I replied, hoping she would end it after I responded to her thirsty kisses.

I was wrong.

As we pulled away she looked over to the side with victory and triumph all over her caked up face, as I turned all I could see was the little bit of red fabric flap before disappearing into the hall. It was when I heard familiar sniffles, and when that image replayed my mind, a golden thread was on that certain piece of red fabric.

My senses dulled and my world shattered like a broken mirror, before I could go after the figure I stopped abruptly, something caging my wrist. I turn my head around to see Chloe looking at me seductively, she was practically drooling and to my guess wetter than the god damn ocean.

"Don't. Or else that's considered as breaking agreement. Y'know, "Highschool female with broken dreams, a destroyed family business and dumped by a model and the Agreste company shut down," would make a great headline for the next copies in the newspaper, don't you think" she gave me a Cheshire Cat smile, as she saw the anger and regret that was expressed on my face.

My features tensed as I let out a tight reply of no, in swift movement she pulled me towards her and smashing her lips on mine and started a whole new heated make out session.

The only thought that lingered in my head was that was there and she didn't say a word.

And for once in a long time , I felt trapped, defeated and vulnerable.
