Chapter 2 Chapter 2

CASSIAN'S POV

I shouldn't be here.

I definitely shouldn't be here.

Yet I was here. Amidst sweaty bodies, loud music and hella lots of booze and drugs. It wasn't a secret that university students drink like they are on life support and do drugs from time to time. Somehow every party supplies them equally.

Oh! Not to forget girls and boys equally. Uni life is all about exploring your preferences and people take it way too seriously. Making out with anyone they are attracted to a little bit. Be it boys or girls.

Dominic Costello was no different. Having come from a strict Catholic family, he didn't seem to fear his father a little bit. Every single one of these parties has one person in common and that is Dominic Costello. And he's rumoured to use every hole available to him.

I'm not the least bothered by it.

Not a single bit.

What bothers me is despite being drunk as fuck and high as hell, he still aced every subject, every test and scored higher than me. That never sat well with me. Once I even had dad's men tail him to find out whether he sneaks out question papers or not.

To my surprise he doesn't. Fucker is a born genius. Something I genuinely hate him for.

That's not the main concern now. The main concern is to catch this fucker doing drugs red handed, record it and blackmail him with it to remove my name from the list. The plan is simple but the amount of effort I have put into this well curated plan is insane.

It was easy to locate the exact place where the party was going to take place and it was even easier to find out whether Dominic the fucker was attending it or not.

He's definitely attending.

The most difficult part was to dress according to the dress code. Who the fuck wears just swim shorts to a party? Well uni kids do. Specifically if the party is a pool party. So here I was, wearing swim shorts and a mask covering my face. I'm not bulky or anything. I have decent muscles and a lean but well fit body. Unlike others, I like to use my brain instead of my muscles to solve problems.

But you always use your muscles with him.

My subconscious mind mocked me.

Pushing it at the back of my mind, I made my way to the house where the party was taking place. Darius tagged along with me, wanting to have fun seeing Dominic's downfall.

Darius is the same as Dominic. Both leeched on me in middle school. But Darius is more bearable and hence he became one of my very few friends.

“Can't wait to see that idiot make a fool out of him.” Darius rubbed his hands in anticipation. Pure trouble could be seen in his eyes that peeks through the mask he wore.

“Shut it. We need to find Dominic in a vulnerable state. When you find him, give me a text.”

“Ay ay, sir.”

Darius mocked, saluted me and sauntered away, mingling with others way too easily. I dragged my feet to the mini bar and sat on the stool. I ordered a martini while looking around, trying to locate that fucker. After a while I did locate him. I couldn't see his face but the snake tattoo covering his back gives him away every time. When people get into their dream college, they give a party or something but this fucker has a different mind. He went on and got a full blown snake tattoo on his back and posted the picture all over the internet. Unfortunately that also came onto my feed despite him being blocked from every possible social media out there.

He was dancing or more like grinding against two people at the same time. A guy and a girl.

Disgusting af.

He's not disgusting for liking another gender. More power to him. What disgusts me is how fast he changes his partners. If today is someone, tomorrow is someone else. The cycle is never ending.

I kept my eyes on him for a solid thirty minutes before rolling my stool to face the bar. The reason is him coming to the bar. He plopped right beside me and ordered one drink after another and chucked them down as if they were chips.

“Dom, let's go to the actual party.” Someone called out to him and my ears stood sharp.

“Coming babes.” He gave that guy a cheeky smile before chugging down his fifth glass and going off to follow that guy.

I also placed down my glass on the table and sauntered off after him.

I shot a quick text to Darius while following them. And Darius was quick to follow the plan. As soon as they were about to open the door to a room, Darius quickly diverted their attention and pulled them away from the room. I took my chance and slipped inside the room. I placed my phone in a secret place from where the whole room could come into view. And then switched on the recording option and hid the phone with different things before slipping out of the room.

I should have brought another phone and now regret it. Darius saw me slipping out of the room and got his queue to let them leave. After a while they both went inside the room.

I waited with a stuck up breath. I definitely saw the white powder thing packet in his back pocket. Dominic and he were definitely going to do drugs. The camera might catch some unwanted nudity but that was something I could deal with.

After around forty minutes, I found myself dozing off behind the pillar. To anyone it may look like I was drunk as fuck. So no one would get suspicious of me.

I got up quickly and dabbed my face to get rid of the sleepiness. I turned around to see whether they came out of the room but came face to face with the prick. Due to the sudden face to face, I cowered back and was about to fall down the railing when his hand wrapped around my waist and he pulled me to his chest.

My chest brushed against his while his drunk smell fanned my masked face. He wasn't wearing a mask anymore. His hair is all messy. And he smelled like……cum?

"Enjoy the show, baby.” He whispered in my ears and then let my waist go before stepping away. He winked at me before whistling and disappearing from my sight while I stared at him dumbfounded.
