Music Recommendation;War of Hormones BTS.

Scarlett's hand hung in the air the second the words shamelessly rolled out of his lips.She could hit him,his words held her back.She hated what happened minutes ago not wanting to relive it again or at least not so soon.Accepting defeat she walked back to the bed clutching the duvet around herself.Tsk such a shame, thought Nicklaus he was a little worn out from the intimacy they shared moments ago but he wasn't too weak to go at it again.Scarlett's a sweet and interesting piece of work to him one he wouldn't mind doing all day."No" she uttered almost silently. "What....?" He asked not understanding what she meant.This made Scarlett yell at him "I say no to being your fucktoy!" Her eyes held murderous intent he would be six feet under by now given the ferocity.If looks could kill that is.

He walked towards the bed.Scarlett was intimidated to the point of wanting to shrink back further away from him.She didn't though knowing how that would make it obvious that she was scared of him now.Being afraid and being obvious that you're afraid were two different things.She didn't want to show him that.So she stared dauntingly at him as their eyes locked in an unofficial staring contest.Nicklaus smiled stubborn and unyielding,he loved that about her but he would have to reform it and make her be obedient and yielding to him alone.

"Am not giving you a fucking choice scar.It is either you accept the easy way or the hard way or el--"

"Or else what you fucking psychopath?!"

"Kill me...? It won't make a difference since I already feel dead anyway" Scarlett huffed wishing she could get her hands on his neck and choke the life out of him.For the first time in a long time she regretted her short height.She could have taken him on if they wasn't such a difference between them in that area.

"Kill you?? No my dear .I do have another idea that may be worse than that" His grin at the end of the sentence gave her another scare.Just how much more was this creep planning to scare her?

"Here.Does not this person look familiar to you?" Nicklaus held out his tablet to her to see a nude woman on the screen.She gasped as horror filled her upon seeing that the girl's face was hers.It was obviously made up by this jerk! There's no way she took those!

"What is this? Why are you messing with me? And who created this?"

"Chill, feisty ass one question at a time".he said with a bemused voice.He enjoyed seeing the look of confusion, frustration and hatred for him etched on her face.It was a deepfake created personally by him.It is difficult even for experts to tell apart between a real photo and one created through deepfake.He plans on posting it anonymously on social media.Even if the truth were to come out about it being a deepfake her image would have already taken a huge hit by then.So will her father and his company.Scarlett quickly deduced the whole situation.She couldn't let him leak those photos.Her life would be over the minute it appears on the internet.It wouldn't matter if it's true all not as people prefer lies and rumors over the actual truth.

"Do you know of a hacker named Black diamond?" Nicklaus asked revealing another one of the many cards he had against her.Scarlett froze but quickly regained her composure.

"Who the hell is that? A fellow psychopath??" She was bound on denying everything despite actually knowing.

"I know you do know this person" She could keep lying all she wanted, however he had solid proof.

"I haven't even heard that name before" Scarlett fired.She was hyperventilating mentally but was very calm on the surface maintaining a blank expression.Calm down,calm down.There's a good chance he might not know that I am...

She had personally sealed away all information pertaining to that.Dotting the I and crossing all the t's.Scarlett kept a clean record to the public eye.Carefully getting rid of anything that might give others the slightest inkling that she is a hacker.If Nicklaus knows that she is indeed Black diamond he surely wouldn't let her go.Because she had stolen large amounts of money from his numerous secret accounts from around the world.Not just from him but from other companies and bigwigs also.None of her victims ever breath out a word about it.Because they will be blamed for being unable to secure their accounts well enough.In the case of a company,it might collapse as investors and shareholders will pull out quickly to avoid losing all their money.

"I've waited a long time to meet you Black diamond.Scarlett was rendered speechless.

Hills Residence

"How's he doctor?" Anna asked the middle aged man donning a white coat.He was the family's doctor and is a good friend of Mr Thomas.There is nothing wrong with him madam.You do not need to worry he just needs to keep taking his medication and get plenty of rest.Also pay attention to his meals" The doctor explained

"Thank you so much for coming so soon. Sniffs! I was truly scared.I don't know what would have happened if you had delayed even a little bit" Anna faked tears. Doctor Gary's heart melted upon seeing and sensing how deeply she cared for his old friend.If only his wife was like that also,he mused and bidded goodbye to her promising to come over the next day to check on Mr Hill.Anna's lips played into a sinister smile replacing the sorrowful visage she had put on earlier as she watched Doctor Gary's retreating silhouette until he was out of sight.

Nina's hand clenched tightly around the phone almost snapping it in two.Anger boiled within her.She flung the phone at her vanity mirror breaking it completely on one side of it.She couldn't listen anymore.Her chest felt tight and she was unable to breath properly. "I am not swallowing this up" she needed to do something against her to relieve a little of the anger she was feeling.She opened a dresser and pressed some numbers on it to open the inner secret dresser where she kept things she didn't want others to see.She brought out a phone and logged onto her anonymous social media account and posted a the pictures someone had sent to her a few hours ago." I should have done this sooner" she murmured as she uploaded the final photo.

She felt a little bit of relief as soon as she was done. "This is only the beginning Scarlett!"
