Song for the chapter: Monster by EXO

Nicoli's POV:

As I scrolled through the Instagram feed and saw the picture posted from an anonymous account, a grin spread across my face. It had to be Issa. Who else could it be? She's always been so obedient, so easily influenced. Issa had done exactly what I asked for, and I couldn't help but feel a surge of pride. Sure, it was a risky move, but it would serve its purpose.

"Issa is so easily manipulated," I thought to myself, a sense of satisfaction washing over me. "But she's amazing. She did what I needed her to do."

I leaned back in my chair, contemplating the aftermath. Andres' life was surely in turmoil now. The picture would cause chaos, sow seeds of doubt. And ultimately, everyone would know the truth-that it was Andres and me in that compromising position. Father would be furious, but what did I care? Andres would likely distance himself from me, severing ties forever. And I welcomed it. Even Audrey, his pretty little girlfriend would most likely breakup with him as no one wants to be associated with a faggot. Let him deal with the fallout.

The aftermath of the Instagram chaos left me feeling elated, a wave of satisfaction coursing through me. Issa had played her role perfectly, and now it was time to lavish her with appreciation.

"But why sit around gloating?" I muttered, standing up decisively. "It's time to spoil Issa. She deserves it."

Dialing her number, I could barely contain my excitement. "Hey babygirl!," I greeted, my voice smooth and alluring. "What are you up to this fine day?"

"Nicoli," Issa's voice purred through the line, tinged with intrigue. "Just lounging around. Why? What's on your mind?"

"How about we change that?"I suggested with a playful edge. "Let's have brunch at the chic Italian spot downtown? We can indulge in good food and each other's company."

Issa chuckled softly, the sound sending a thrill down my spine. "Sounds divine," she replied flirtatiously. "But what else do you have in mind?"

"After brunch," I continued, my voice lowering into a husky whisper, "We could visit some of our favorite luxury stores. Chanel, Dolce & Gabbana, Miu Miu-take your pick. I want to see you in something stunning."

A soft gasp escaped Issa's lips, her voice laced with anticipation."But what's the occasion? Not that I'm complaining about being spoiled.

"I chuckled, enjoying the conversation. "Oh, no special occasion," I replied smoothly.

"Just felt like spoiling my gorgeous girl today. You've been on my mind, you know."

"And after shopping?"

"Let's pamper ourselves," I suggested, relishing the sensual dance of our conversation. "How about a hair spa and you can also get your nails done!"

"I'm already excited ," Issa replied, her voice a sultry promise. "And what about that Bulgari pendant you mentioned?"

"That pendant," I mused, desire coloring my tone. "I've been imagining how it would look on you, enhancing your beauty. Let's make sure it's around your neck before the night ends."

"I like the sound of that," Issa purred playfully. "Maybe I'll have to thank you properly later."My pulse quickened at her implication, the anticipation building between us. "I look forward to it," I murmured, my voice low and intimate. "Get ready, sweetheart. I'll be there in an hour."

After the exhilarating plans for the day, I took my time getting ready for the day with Issa. The thought of our night ahead filled me with anticipation. I stepped into the shower, letting the warm water cascade over me, clearing my mind and preparing myself for what lay ahead.
