But every time someone tried to get close, Nicolas would secretly sabotage things, making sure no one got anywhere near her romantically.
Alicia couldn’t help but laugh. “Guess I should really thank them for that p>
Back when she was getting dragged online, plenty of people reached out to comfort her or offered to help.
After the birthday party drama, even more people messaged her–either to check in or see if she needed anything.
She didn’t take them up on it, but honestly, compared to her so–called family and childhood friends, it actually warmed her heart a little.
Seeing what that middle school classmate said, Alicia could only think to herself how fickle people can be.
Back then, her brothers and Nicolas were always fussing over her. Whatever she wanted, they’d make sure she got it.
Once when she was sick, Nicolas didn’t just carry her up and down six flights of stairs–he even stayed with her the whole night at the hospital while she was getting an IV.
It was freezing that night, so he bought her a hot water bottle. Every time it cooled off, he’d go reheat it for her.
By the time she recovered, he ended up getting sick himself.
There were plenty of moments like that.
Maxwell and Caleb also did a ton for her back in school.
That’s why she was always so good to them, and why her feelings for them ran so deep.
Alicia was always clear about who she liked and who she didn’t—if someone treated her well, she’d give back even more.
But if anyone ever hurt her, she’d make sure they regretted it, big time.
They spent a while plotting what kind of trouble to cause next, and then Alicia headed out.
That night, the three Hammond brothers were so exhausted that none of them made a move to check on Nicole.
Nicole waited for them, but when nobody showed up, she felt even more wronged and just broke down crying again.
And with all that dirt about her blowing up online, she was getting absolutely dragged nonstop.
She just couldn’t handle it anymore and ended up sobbing her heart out until the middle of the night.
The next morning, she finally came out of her room with swollen, red eyes–and only then did Leo and her brothers bother to comfort her.
But none of them even brought up helping her do any damage control online.
Nicole got sick that same day and was taken to the hospital.
Someone filmed it and posted it online, and she ended up trending again.
That just made everyone even more annoyed with her.

Two days went by.
Jason told Alicia that Kevin was digging into Haley’s background and had already started taking action against her, loudly claiming he was doing it to stand up for Alicia.
Alicia just sighed. “Mind if I use your phone? I need to call Kevin myself p>
Jason pulled up Kevin’s number, dialed it, and handed the phone to Alicia.
Kevin picked up right away. “Mr. Farrell, what can I do for you p>
Alicia said, “It’s me, Alicia p>
Kevin was caught off guard, his voice lighting up with surprise. “Ally p>
“Wait, Ally’s actually calling me? Does this mean she’s not mad at me anymore?‘ Kevin thought, a flicker of hope in his heart.
Alicia’s voice was cold. “Can you guys stop meddling in Haley’s business?
“When she stabbed me in the back, not one of you stepped up
for me.
“ I’ll handle my own revenge. I don’t need you pretending to care now that it’s convenient for you.
“All this acting like you’re my avengers now? It’s honestly disgusting p>
Alicia had already set everything in motion for her payback against Haley.
If the Hammond brothers got involved, it would just throw a wrench in her plans–and honestly, it was annoying as hell.
They were only targeting Haley so she’d feel indebted to them.
It was all just for show, making it look like they were her knights in shining armor.
Truth was, she didn’t need them at all anymore.
Kevin looked genuinely hurt. “We just want to make her pay for what she did to you. We won’t let anyone mess with you again p>
Alicia let out a cold laugh. “Oh, really? So where were you when I actually needed you?
“You never bother with the stuff that actually matters, but the moment it’s something pointless, you’re suddenly all in. You guys are pros at playing dumb.
“The more you act like this, the more it just pisses me off p>
She let out another cold snort. “Stay out of my business, or don’t blame me if I stop playing nice p>
She didn’t even wait for a response before hanging up.
Kevin’s face twisted with bitterness. ‘Ally doesn’t even want us helping her get back at people, and she straight–up called us disgusting? The word stung more than he expected.
He knew exactly what she was talking about when she said they never bothered to dig into the things that actually mattered But his dad had told him to back off, so his hands were tied and he couldn’t do anything about it.

Honestly, it just hurt like hell.
Two days later.
Leo’s assistant caught wind that Alicia had stepped out and was seen at a restaurant.
So he called Kevin and the two of them headed straight to the place.
Lately, he’d been wanting to talk to Alicia, but she kept dodging his calls.
So all he could do was have his people keep an eye on her whereabouts.
When Leo and Kevin finally arrived at the restaurant, they saw Alicia sitting with someone, totally relaxed and laughing, clearly having a great time.
Leo’s face turned stormy, his eyes burning with rage.
