Chapter3: Trouble In Paradise
Summary: Lisa 's plan starts to form and Sebastian doesn't know what to make of Kathryn's about face.
After Lisa found the tape she didn't know what to do with it. She knew she wanted to use it to make Kathryn's life miserable, but how? Lisa was very new to the blackmail game.
At first Lisa tried to contact Kathryn thinking she could extort some money for her. Like Kathryn couldn't spare a few million? But a very surly Tiffany informed Lisa that Kathryn did not live here anymore and she had no idea, or cared where she was. So Lisa was at a loss.
That all changed one day at breakfeast when Lisa was reading the NY Post. In the gossip section there was a prominent picture of a smiling Kathryn and Sebastian with the caption under the picture "Former siblings Kathryn Merteil and Sebastian Valmont return after a holiday in Italy."
Lisa almost spit out her coffee when she read that. Sebastian ran off with that bitch? It almost turned her stomach with the thought of Kathryn always getting the best men here in Manhattan. But it did give Lisa an idea. Figuring Sebastian made the tape and he wouldn't want the whole world to hear it he might pay a pretty penny to whoever had the tape. Not knowing where to reach him Lisa decided to call Blain Tuttle.
Even though Blain didn't go to Manchester Prep everyone knew him, or at least knew of him. Lisa knew him through her loser of a brother.
Leaving the breakfeast table Lisa went to dig through her brother's belongins in search of Blain's number.
**********************
Sebastian was not having a good day at all. It started off when he woke up and saw Kathryn never showed up. Got even worse when Kathryn called him and cooly informed him that she was staying at her mother's.
"Why the hell are you staying there?" Kathrn demanded.
"Me and my mother made amends." Kathryn replied. She wanted to tell him the real reason, but she wasn't sure if her mother's servants were listening in. Her mother let her back on a probation time period, and she didn't want to blow it. So she had a measly trust when she could have the whole fortune once she was back in her mother's good graces.
"So when are you coming back?" Sebastian asked dreading the answer.
Kathryn couldn't answer him. Her mother thought Kathryn broke it off with him. That was one of the conditions of her being allowed to move back in.
"Soon I promise." Kathryn lied. Please hold on just a little while longer Sebastian ,she silently begged.
"Whatever." Sebastian snapped and hung up on her. What the hell kind of game was she playing with him?
So to put it lightly Sebastian was in rare form when the phone rang once again.
"What?" Sebastian barked into the receiver.
"Good morning to you too." Blain's voice cooed into the phone.
"What Tuttle?" Sebastian asked impatiently.
"Is that any way to treat someone with important news." Blain teased.
"Look Blain I am not in a good mood so if you have anything to say just spit it out." Sebastian snapped. He didn't like treating his best friend this was, but after the stunt Kathryn pulled he didn't really feel like dealing with anyone.
"So Lucky we go too far back for me to be offended." Blain lectured.
"Yeah Yeah . You know I'll make it up to you." Sebastian apologized as much as he was able to considering his mood.
Blain knew Sebastian well enough to know that was an apology of some sort and decided not to push further.
"Apology accepted. Now onto the news. Lisa Stanford called asking how to reach you."
Lisa Stanford? Sebastain thought to himself. Thinking back he tried to remember if she was someone he slept with. No he vaguely remember her from school. Some mousey girl that would stare up at him adoringly whenever their paths crossed.
" What did she want."
"Didn't say." Blain answered saving the best part for last. "But she is Guy Stanford's sister." Blain said stressing out Guy's name.
Sebastian was no fool. He got the connection and did something unlike him. He began to worry.
"Give her my number.", Sebastian ordered. He would talk to her and see what she knew if anything.
"That's what I thought." Blain said. "Oh and good luck man." Blain added, meaning it sincerely.
