You know, there's an old saying.

When you lie, you just create a web that entangles you until your stuck.

I believe in my heart, that is what's happening to me.

"Dad?" Chloe spoke as she watches her father kiss a younger woman was two females play between his legs. All four of them naked, with only masks on their faces. Chloe's blue eyes widened beyond words as if she had seen the unspeakable…then again, if I saw my parent naked and cheating on my other parent, I would no doubt have the same look on my face.

"I feel sick all of a sudden," Alya muttered as she leans against her boyfriend, hiding her face into his shoulder, trying not to gaze at what she had just saw. Sadly Nino and I eye looked in the direction of her nightmare! It was her mother, or what I assumed was her mother. She was in the corner of the room giving some of the young female worker's drinks. I think it was her mom though. Even with a mask on, if you look at the body shape and hair, it could be her.

"What the hell is this?" Nino muttered to me. I could actually feel him pulling me towards the door we came through. Honestly, I would have hijacked and left! Nothing was stopping me and I know in my heart that I didn't need to see old saggy balls bouncing in the air! Oh my god, this room was a nightmare!

It was painted red, there was black plastic everywhere! The furniture, the floor even the tables! All black plastic with pink and red sex toys hanging from the walls! I felt like those Asian little girls in Hentai's that were about to be violated in so many different ways! The fact that I was wearing a costume that made me look like a thot didn't help me at all!

"Chloe, let's leave this place," I said softly to her. I wanted her to hear me, but not gain attention, only I had failed at that. Chloe let out a scream, a high pitch noise that bounced practically off the walls, alerting all who were there of our presence. All eyes soon turned in out direction, looking at us with shock and fear.

Chloe was broken at that moment. Grabbing her heart with both hands, she fell to the ground as her tears soon follow. Her body begins to shack violently as tears fall down her cheeks. Snort rolls out of her nose to drop to the ground. Her black eyeliner running down her cheeks, her chest moves back and forth as her brain struggles to force her to breathe. She was in pain, but why? Was it because of her father?

"Chloe." A voice spoke, I turned my head in the direction of the voice and saw Adrien. He was quick too, wrapping his arms around her, covering her small frame with a black jacket, pulling her up to her feet while covering her eyes. Pulling her towards the door for which we had entered. Without hesitation, I followed them and Nino and Ayla followed me back upstairs into the office. Once I stood by the desk, Chloe snapped and slapped Adrien across the face. Knocking his costume mask to the floor in the process. He didn't flinch, nor did he show any sign of anger as he did with me. No, his eyes widened…as if he was sad?

"How could you do this to me?" Chloe muttered before tossing his jacket to the ground. Then to kick it by his feet as if it was just trash. "How!?"

"I wanted you to know the truth," Adrien responded. His eyes were staring straight down to his feet, not daring to look up at his broken friend. Chloe, on the other hand, didn't see that, she was furious and sad, pushing Adrien a bit, she turns around and stomps towards the doors. Reaching towards the knob, she pulls at the door but only to gasp when she saw it was locked. Oh no…

"Chloe sits down, all of you find a seat," Adrien ordered her as he walks over to his desk. Taking a seat on his father's chair with no emotion whatsoever of the situation. Hell, he didn't look sad anymore, now he looked serious!

"Take a seat." He repeats to us, and just as ordered we did. Well, everyone did, for there were only three chairs to spare. Ayla sat in Nino's lap to offer me her seat, good thing too! I might have had to sit on Adrien's if I didn't find one. Once seated, we all looked at Adrien. Chloe had calmed down, but her face was still stained.

"Now you have seen what really goes on in this house." Adrien started. "And now you will listen is to why it happens."

"I'm not sure I will understand," Chloe responded.

"We'll figure out something then," Adrien says. I feel like he was just trying to urk us on. "What you just saw was the 1% in the world. The richest of the rich. The powerful leaders of the nations. The men who pick those who will lead and kill…the people who create a war in order to make money. All of them, are in that very room right now as we speak."

"Why are they there?" I had to asked. I never believed in the 1% before. I mean, I knew there were people beyond words rich that could do whatever they want. But people that Adrien describe, people who make wars to benefit themselves? I mean…that can't be right.

"Because they rule the world. And they enjoy sex with minors, the drugs they make illegal, and committing crimes that they use to throw people in jail. Below us is the 1% could either start a war or end one by the flick of their fingers." Adrien explained, but he really didn't give us an answer to why they were here?

"What does that have to do with us?" Nino asked.

"Easy, were going to work for them. Starting tonight they have agreed to the new line that I will be presenting in another three months. When that happens, we will be apart of their world." Adrien explained. I see you now…

"So you cater to them in order to get ahead in the game?" I asked.

"How else do you get far in life Mari? You have connections. And I am not just talking about a few million subscribers on youtube, or even a billion follows on insta! No, you need to cater to the fuckers who sit in the high chair in order for them to give you what they want. And right now, they need a new king of fashion to sit on the throne and rule."

"You have no sense of fashion even if it hit you upside the head," Chloe growled at Adrien, this caused him to give us a sly smirk.

"True, which is why I have you," Adrien says as his full attention lands on me. "My future designer."

"Why should I even lift a finger to help you?" I growled. "You have been pouring bull shit on top of me for the- I will keep taking my pills if you do." He tells me. Cutting me off mid-sentence. His calm voice was frightening to me. How he was able to change his behavior with a flick of a coin was even of a red flag. What the hell was he up too?

"I'll also throw in your family's home and bakery, free of charge." Adrien chuckled. "All you have to do is play ball."

God, I hated his behavior right now. I hated everything that was happening right now. How the hell did I get myself into this? Oh right, by behaving like an over sexual 40-year-old dominatrix! Oh my god, its moments like this I am glad Gabriel is rotting in prison.

"So as long as we do our job…" Nino started, snapping me out of my anger fantasy or something.

"We're safe?" Nino asked. "We don't have to worry about anything? We become immune to the system we grew up to obey?"

"What?" I asked.

"And this is why we're best friends." Adrien chuckled. "And Nino's right, if we work for these people, everything will be ours. We can do whatever we want, whenever we want, however, we want it! If we play our cards right, we might control Paris soon."

"That's your goal?" Alya asked, the blonde just shrugged his shoulders.

"Maybe. But for now, we can talk about this later. You can go home or sleep in your new rooms I made for you." He tells us before standing…wait, he was serious about the rooms?


Kikkie: Possibly my efforts to write to a chapter while putting my life back together. Sorry if it sucks, throw your harsh words! I don't care!

I got bigger shit to deal with than your harsh words...which is something we as creators should tell all our haters who try to bash us down!

Anyway, I am trying to work on WattPad with my own personal story...MLB season 3 just hit me way too hard to see Adrien and Marinette as anything now. Trying to get back there though, so dont worry. I think I might focus on The Tetthered story more than this one.

Anyway, thank you for reading, please review, or if you want, check out my soon to be short stories on WattPad (Or look at one of my stories, I need views), and have a lovely day!
