CHAPTER 41
"S-Strip? But I thought we were shooting a regular drama? The script you showed me earlier didn't mention anything about nudity."
The room filled with the boisterous laughter of the men around her, their mocking tones cutting through the air. It was clear they found her innocence amusing, but Arianna's unease only intensified.
Nate's demeanor shifted, his once charming facade replaced by a predatory gaze fixed on Arianna's face.
“Ms. Johnson, are you truly so naive? I offered you generous compensation, and I expect something in return.”
“The script may not have mentioned stripping before, but it does now. Don't waste time arguing. Strip for the shoot, or I'll do it for you.”
Arianna's heart raced as she realized the gravity of the situation. She took a step back, clutching at her clothes.
“You deceived me! This isn't what I signed up for. I'm quitting!”
But Nate advanced, his tone turning menacing. “You signed the contract. You don't have a choice. Cooperate, or I'll add a scene you won't forget... a rape scene.”
Arianna's heart pounded in her chest as she scanned the faces around her, searching for any sign of compassion or understanding. But all she found was indifference and leering anticipation.
With a sinking feeling in her stomach, Arianna felt the weight of her predicament settle heavily upon her shoulders.
She knew she couldn't escape, couldn't fight back against the overpowering force of the men surrounding her.
Tears welled up in Arianna's eyes as she realized she had no choice but to comply. Swallowing her pride and dignity, she forced the words out through trembling lips.
“Mr. Abrams, I... I'll do it.”
Nate's laughter cut through the air like a knife, filled with mockery and triumph.
“That's the spirit! Don't worry, we'll make you a star in no time. The newest sensation in the adult entertainment industry!”
Arianna's hands shook as she reached up to unbutton her shirt, her movements slow and deliberate, as if she was walking towards her own demise.
****************
Sheena sat with Piper at a café in the mall, sipping her coffee when her phone suddenly buzzed. Glancing at the screen, she noticed several notifications containing photos and videos.
As she scrolled through the images, a mix of shock and satisfaction crossed Sheena's face.
There, captured on her screen, were compromising photos and videos of Arianna in compromising positions with various men.
With a smirk, Sheena showed the content to Piper.
"Looks like our little plan worked like a charm, Piper."
Piper glanced at the screen briefly, her expression filled with disdain.
"Arianna truly has no shame. She'll do anything for money. Let's see if she still dares to go after Xander now."
Piper's excitement bubbled over as she envisioned Xander returning to her side. Turning to Sheena, she couldn't help but express her gratitude.
"You've outdone yourself this time. Consider that Gucci bag yours."
Sheena's face lit up at the promise of the luxury bag.
"Thank you, Piper."
Despite her appreciation, Piper couldn't help but feel a hint of disdain toward Sheena's materialism. Nevertheless, she pushed the feeling aside and continued,
"Just make sure everything goes according to plan."
"Piper, you can count on me. Arianna won't know what hit her," Sheena assured with a wicked grin, her eyes gleaming with malicious intent.
With Sheena's words ringing in her ears, Piper felt a surge of satisfaction wash over her. The thought of seeing Arianna humiliated and out of Xander's life brought a smile to her face.
She leaned back in her chair, a sense of triumph enveloping her as she imagined the chaos that would soon unfold. The downfall of Arianna seemed inevitable, and Piper could hardly wait to watch it all happen.
Arianna was about to face the consequences of crossing her, and there was nothing she could do to stop it.
Sheena wasted no time and dialed her contact in the media, eager to set their plan into motion.
