Alter Ego: His Sultry Lover

Chapter 191 - Dont Joke

Chapter 191 - Don't Joke

Katherine's phone buzzed. She looked at the illuminated screen.

[RayKon53: Spoke to Stephen. He is good at averting scandals. Trust him.] Katherine felt something get stuck in her throat. 'This thoughtful man.'

Stephen probably would have helped anyway, but just seeing how dedicated he was, she couldn't help but want to pull him into her arms and cry.

"I'm Angelina," she said. Her voice shook and one could see her eyes water. They were slightly red and the sobs from earlier were proof further of it.

"I'm Sophia and you already know Damon," Sophia said with a tinge of discomfort. The girl didn't want to assume. The woman in front of her was beautiful, beyond beautiful and she looked a little older than her brother. "Uh... how old are you?" she asked tentatively.

'Don't joke right now,' Katherine willed her friend through her thoughts. "Much older than your brother."

"But he already knows that, doesn't he?" Stephen interjected immediately. Lily felt her shoulders sag. If it was Stephen, he could handle the situation better.

Sophia looked at Damon, dumbfounded. "Did you know?" she whispered. She sounded more concerned than angry, so that was a plus. "From when?" she asked.

"From the beginning."

"You pretended to be a lot older than you are, didn't you?" Stephen said coldly. Oh, so this was how scary Stephen could be when he meant business. Damon looked at the older man in fear and nodded.

He turned to his sister and in a shaky voice explained the situation to her. "I... I didn't tell you before because you would be angry. I knew she is twenty-five. She let me know right in the beginning and I let her think I was older than her." Sophia's eyes bulged.

"You did what?" she hissed. "Why didn't you tell me before?"

"I..." he started. He looked at Angelina with awe-filled eyes as he said the next words. "I knew from the start because you told me how old you were and I wanted to impress you because I had never spoken to an older girl before." Uh, but she wasn't a girl. She was a woman... "You were so different from everyone. I knew you thought I was Cage Cavanaugh and you were so nice to me that I didn't want to tell you the truth. You have a very nice voice, too." The young boy blushed, making everyone else in the room frown.

"I didn't want to give you up. So, I dodged all your questions about names and real age. I didn't think my sister would call you back..." He sounded embarrassed.

"Your little lies have hurt a lot of people, young man," Stephen said smoothly. He placed his hand on Angelina's shoulder seeing that she had dropped her head.

"Oh, please don't put the blame on my brother. She isn't young, he is. He can make a mistake like this, but how could she not know he was young?" The sister defended. Lily felt the need to roll her eyes.

Yeah, they knew he was young, but what twelve to thirteen-year-old s.e.xts women after knowing they are that old? Forget consent. Angelina hadn't known who the real person behind the screen was, how could she do anything.

Stephen, on the other hand, hated the tone with which the girl spoke. He had a long and successful career and he knew bad intentions and calculations when he saw it.

"Sophia, is it?" he said softly, his demeanor changing. He looked more approachable all of a sudden. Clubbing in the fact that he was an extremely handsome man, the girl was beguiled.

"I have gone through all the texts and exchanges. Angelina's phone records all conversations. Your little brother was using a voice changing application to talk to her, too. He got one that made him sound just like the movie-star Cage Cavanaugh. If you think he is a harmless boy, you are wrong. He knew what he was doing. He might be young, but don't think boys his age don't know what they are doing."

Sophia recoiled in shock.

"I've been that age and I know what goes through his mind. You are underestimating your brother. He might look shy, but I heard what he can say. Do you want to hear, too?" He threatened. Even though he didn't say it, it was made evident that Angelina had all the information and recordings. She could submit it at any time and any threats that Sophia thought of making wouldn't work.

"What do you want to say?" Sophia asked. You could see the fear in her eyes, but there was also anger.

"You wanted to meet Angelina, you met her. What do you want next?" Stephen asked casually.

Katherine felt like she was watching a thriller. Lily just observed the situation carefully, not moving an inch and hoping that Stephen would continue the stellar performance.

"What are you? A lawyer?" Sophia asked. "I can post about this on the internet and you will be done for. You are threatening two minors." This was when Katherine had to speak up.

"Excuse me, but these two minors trespassed on my property and slandered me in front of the people of my apartment," Katherine said as leaned back and crossed her arm over her chest, trying to look like the stone-cold bitch that she wasn't.

From the entrance, Cage smiled with pride. That's my girl.

"Ah. So you trespassed, slandered, and threatened. How many charges is that?" Stephen said in a low, amused voice.

"You lied, too! You told me you were a lesbian couple! That's why we flew out here!" Sophia screamed.

"We wanted you off our back," Lily said. "Shouldn't you be blaming your brother for giving you false information?" she asked.

"He's a kid," the girl gritted through her teeth.

"It's best you leave. We will call the police if you don't." Lily to the rescue. With Stephen on their side, the girls could rest assured that Angelina was not going to jail and the FBI was not going to come knocking on their door. Amen.
