Chapter 296 Sharing

" He would try to coerce and manipulate others through his connections. I didn't know anything then, but it was all to get a hold of the family seat." Iblis was telling them about Eric.

" That's when I met Adele; through her, I felt what it meant to have a genuine friend in one's life. She was the same as a relentless, strong light even though her life was dark. Later I got introduced to Samuel, who pulled me out of that darkness."

" I see." Liliana listened seriously. Looking at Iblis now, she would have never guessed what she had to endure.

Next, Iblis told them about how they went around preventing the destruction of her family. Her mother, her brother, and the length they had to go through to mend the rift between the Rothschild and the Hanson family.

" It sounds like a movie plot," Rosaline commented.

" It would be better if that were true. My family philosophies were flawed from the beginning; if we didn't correct it, I would be like a bird in the golden cage somewhere in the city." She looked toward Paige and said.

" I don't want you to follow the same philosophies. You should not endure a lifetime of loneliness for a moment of pride."

" I get it! I was just angry at that time, and most of it just was acting. So don't blame me." Paige tried to justify herself.

" For what it's worth, I know you were not the mastermind behind it. You are to muscle headed for that." Liliana said.

" Muscle head?"

" Muscle head, short fuse, easily provoked. You can choose any of these."

" I want to hear more, so can you fight some other time? What happened next?" Rosaline asked.

" Next.." She looked toward the room. The cat would be out of the bag if she told them about it. Nonetheless, she decided to do it. It was better this way than to endure their constant questioning.

" Samuel proposed a plan to tackle every problem at once. This was when we were coming back from Tokyo Disneyland."

" Disneyland? I still remember suggesting visiting it, but he turned me down!" Paige was angry.

" For your knowledge, he came with me to Florida a few years back while shooting around those areas. We had a great time too!" Maia boasted. Paige was the only one left out and unhappy about it.

" How come you never mentioned it before?" Paige asked both of them.

" Well, for one, you would have been mad just like now. Also, because we were not alone, there were many other people, mostly his cast members." Maia said plainly.

" And what about you?"

" Me? I am getting to it. Eric successfully turned most of the support in his favor in our inner circle. Samuel said we needed outside support to deter their forces, and the best way to do that was to announce that we were getting engaged.." She waited, and just in cue, several reactions were heard all around her.

" I knew it. It was fake!" Paige exclaimed.

" Why do you think I keep on egging you about it? I already had an inkling." Maia shrugged.

" Engaged?" Rosaline was hearing it for the first time. She knew there were others, but it was shocking to hear this news.

" You didn't know?" Liliana asked. Of course, she didn't know about the backstory, but she was aware of his history to some extent.

" I didn't know. I can't believe we are talking about it calmly." Rosaline didn't understand the nature of their friendship and how they could be so aloof about it.

" This is only the beginning. Shall we move on to the main question then?" Maia changed the subject.

" I don't know what you are talking about." Everyone looked at her with confusion.

" How did you do it?!" She was oozing with curiosity.

" Huh?"

" I mean, how did you guys get together? I know I am direct, but I feel like I can get some epiphany out of it." That's when Rosaline understood what she was talking about. Although she was a little older than them, she blushed when remembering it.

" Maia, don't be rude! We just discussed it!" Iblis said from the side, but deep down, she also wanted to hear about it.

" Why not? I will tell you." Liliana leaned forward.

" Liliana, are you sure?" Rosaline asked. She was afraid it would make them look like lost girls.

" It's fine." She paused for a few seconds to create suspense before beginning.

" Buy top quality lingerie."

" That sounds.... wild."

" What do you know? You have to have some volume to be appealing!" Maia dissed Paige.

" Wait, let her continue." Three of them were in the zone.

" Sneak into his room at night and pray for the morning to come!" Liliana exclaimed. Her body was really tested that night, the same with Rosaline.

" That sounds like exactly what we did. Just we don't really remember it." Paige muttered absentmindedly, but everyone heard it.

" You... I don't even what to say to you." Maia sighed. When did they start oversharing? She just wished Liliana was trustworthy.

"...." Iblis was starting to believe what had been said about Paige. She was worried about them lashing out more.

" All three of you? That's surprising." Liliana commented.

" It really was true. I thought I imagined it." Rosaline muttered.

"It was a drunken mistake; what's more, that bastard did something despicable. I can barely walk, and it took a week for the pain to subside!" Maia touched her bottoms, imagining the pain she had been through.

" I don't follow."

" It was... he put his.." Iblis didn't want to say it aloud, so she leaned forward and whispered it in their ears.

" Eh?"

" Hahahaha." Liliana burst out laughing. She couldn't imagine these affluent ladies being plowed senseless by that animal! Just thinking about it made her feel their pain.

" He is just a horny beast! I swore to get my revenge on him one day!"

" I will gladly help you too."

They talked shit about him for the next hour, which made them closer. Sharing intimate details was a standard bonding method for girls their age.
