Inside the room was a helpless Ella, tied to the bedposts with a thick rope. Her hands and feet were bound tightly to prevent her from moving. Her face was red with anger and embarrassment. As if things weren't bad enough already, Aria stood next to her laughing hysterically while pointing at her victim. "What's going on here?" Luke demands as he storms into the room and removes the gag from Ella's mouth. As soon as her mouth is freed, Ella starts shouting and cursing at her captor. "I'm going to kill you! How dare you do this to me! Do you know how uncomfortable this is! This is horrible! Unbelievable! Disgusting! I can't believe you would do such a thing!" She continues screaming as her words begin to shift to a language Luke can't understand. "Calm down Ella. You can deal with your friend later." Luke pleads as he tries to calm her down While Aria hides behind him nervously. Ella slowly begins to calm herself, allowing Luke to remove the rest of her restraints. Once she was fin

Luke spends the rest of his day arriving at various news agencies around town where he hands out copies of the images and recordings to different reporters. Making a deal with each one to release the scandal during his fathers party next month. He made sure to pay them handsomely to assure that things went as planned. All in all, his plan had been working flawlessly thus far and he had just under one week left to put things in place for the event. Everything was falling right into place and now, all Luke had to do was sit back and enjoy the fireworks. That evening after returning home, Luke goes straight into his home office and calls the private investigator, Cannon. Thanking him for the information gathered, Luke lets him know that he no longer needs to keep watch for his sister. But he would be sure to call him if he ever needed any more work done. After hanging up, Luke looks up at the clock hanging on the wall and sees it was almost ten o'clock pm. Checking his PC, Luke finds

Days fly by as Luke enjoys his life alongside his two female companions. Surprisingly, Aria proved to be extremely useful in keeping their home clean and tidy while Ella took over most of the cooking duties, which was a huge relief to Luke, allowing him more time to investigate and focus on his job without having to worry about anything else. Luke was enjoying the peaceful life that he was living with these two beautiful women and to top things off. It was finally time to watch his sister's downfall. Luke looks into the mirror at his reflection while wearing a black tuxedo shirt with an elegant gold tie and dark gray slacks. He smiles when he sees himself dressed for the occasion before heading downstairs to join Aria and Ella. They were both dressed nicely in formal dresses that compliment one another well. Aria's was a short red dress with a plunging neckline that showed plenty of cleavage. Ella's was a white sleeveless mini dress that stopped just below her knees showing off long

The party had come to an end early as The Castellans hurried their guest out of the estate quickly in fear of any further backlash from the guest and investors who had come to celebrate this evening with them. The reporters had already left long ago in an attempt to follow after Marilyn and her husband as they disappeared into the night. And while the guests were being escorted out, Luke, Aria and Ella made sure to leave as well, perfectly blended in with the crowd. It took them only a few minutes to reach the side of the estate where he had parked his car before the party started. Once inside the vehicle, Aria began to fidget nervously with the hem of her dress after noticing a small stain on it. As Luke was about to start his car, He received a new message from the strange box. 'Great job in showing the truth of your sister to the world. You are one step closer to your rehabilitation. Your reward is waiting for you within the manor. Don't forget to take it before you leave.' "Hmm

Pulling into his estate, Luke exits the car and lets his companions inside. "You guys go ahead, I'm going to head into the office for a bit." Luke informs them while standing outside the door. "What time will you be back?" Ella asks while walking over towards her partner. "If I'm lucky, I'll probably be home in a couple hours, I just want to get a head start on a new project of mine." Luke states as Ella plants a kiss on his cheek. "Well don't take too long. It's already late and I'd rather not sleep in such a large bed by myself." Ella teases as she heads inside the house. Luke watches her walk away for a moment before closing the door and walking back to his car. Stepping inside of it, he starts to drive back towards the office to get started on the production of the new platform. The first thing Luke did upon entering into his office was to copy the information he had acquired with his phone onto his laptop. Doing this would make it easier for him to access the documents later
