Life In The Limelight : The Depressed Boy Has 4 Yandere Girlfriends-Chapter 47: Scarlet’s Punishment

The next day, Scarlet dressed sharply, her usual calm, calculated demeanor radiating confidence as she prepared to meet Alyssa. This wasn't just a confrontation—it was her stage, her moment to strike. As she approached the café where Alyssa was waiting, her blue eyes glinted with a cold determination.

Alyssa was seated at a small table near the window, scrolling through her phone with a bored expression. She was a girl who radiated confidence, the kind of person who thrived on attention and praise. When Scarlet approached, Alyssa looked up, her expression shifting to one of mild curiosity.

"Hey, do I know you?" Alyssa asked, her tone dismissive as she tucked her phone away.

Scarlet smiled politely, her movements graceful as she slid into the seat across from her. "No, you don't know me," she said smoothly. "But I know you."

Alyssa raised an eyebrow, leaning back in her chair. "Okay... and who are you, exactly?"

Scarlet extended a hand, her smile sharp and calculated. "Scarlet. I'm Holo's girlfriend."

Alyssa froze, her expression shifting to one of disbelief. "Wait—Holo? As in that Holo? The loser from school?"

Scarlet's smile didn't falter, but her eyes narrowed slightly. "That's the one," she said, her voice laced with amusement. "But he's far from a loser. In fact, he's the most incredible person I've ever met."

Alyssa laughed, her voice tinged with derision. "You've got to be kidding me. Someone like him managed to get a girlfriend? What, are you pity-dating him or something?"

Scarlet's smile widened, her tone growing colder. "Oh, I'm not pity-dating him. I love him. And I'm here because I wanted to meet the girl who thought it was funny to humiliate him in front of the entire school."

Alyssa's laughter died in her throat, her expression shifting to one of unease. "I don't know what you're talking about," she said quickly, her tone defensive.

Scarlet leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand as she studied Alyssa. "Oh, I think you do," she said softly. "But don't worry—I'm not here to rehash old wounds. I'm here to talk about you."

Alyssa frowned, her discomfort growing. "What about me?"

Scarlet's smile turned predatory as she pulled her phone from her pocket, scrolling for a moment before turning the screen toward Alyssa. On the screen was a familiar image—one that made Alyssa's heart sink. It was a screenshot of her OnlyFans profile, her face clearly visible alongside her username.

Alyssa's eyes widened in horror, her face draining of color. "Where... where did you get that?" she stammered.

"I have my ways," Scarlet said casually, her tone almost bored. "It wasn't hard to find, really. You should be more careful about hiding things from your parents."

Alyssa's hands clenched into fists, her voice trembling with anger and fear. "You wouldn't..."

Scarlet tilted her head, her smile never wavering. "Wouldn't what? Leak this to the entire school? Email it to your parents? Post it all over social media?" She shrugged, her tone light. "It would be so easy."

"Why are you doing this?" Alyssa hissed, her voice barely above a whisper.

Scarlet's blue eyes gleamed with a dark satisfaction. "Because you hurt Holo. You played him, humiliated him, and made him feel like he was nothing. And now, it's time for you to pay for that."

Alyssa's breath came in short, panicked gasps as she stared at Scarlet. "What... what do you want from me?"

Scarlet leaned back in her chair, her expression calm and composed. "It's simple. You're going to follow me. And you're going to do exactly what I say. If you don't..." She held up her phone, her smile turning icy. "Well, I think you can imagine what happens next."

Alyssa's hands trembled as she nodded slowly, her voice barely audible. "Okay... I'll do whatever you want. Just please, don't ruin my life."

Scarlet's smile softened, though her eyes remained cold. "Good girl. Now, let's go."

She stood, gesturing for Alyssa to follow her. The other girl hesitated for only a moment before rising to her feet, her head bowed in defeat. Scarlet led her out of the café, her every step confident and deliberate.

As they walked down the street, Alyssa couldn't shake the feeling of dread that settled over her. Scarlet's calm demeanor and calculated words had left her shaken, and she knew she was completely at the other girl's mercy.

Scarlet, meanwhile, felt a sense of satisfaction growing within her. This was just the beginning. Alyssa had made Holo suffer, and now it was her turn. Scarlet would make sure of it.

Scarlet led Alyssa through the dense woods, the path growing darker and more secluded with each step. The air was thick and cold, and the sound of the rustling leaves only seemed to amplify the tension. Alyssa's heart raced in her chest, her hands trembling as she followed Scarlet silently, too terrified to speak.

Finally, they reached the edge of a small, secluded lake. The moonlight reflected off the surface of the water, casting an eerie glow across the clearing. Scarlet stopped at the water's edge, turning to face Alyssa with a cold, calculated smile.

"This is where we're going to have a little... chat," Scarlet said, her voice calm but dripping with malice. She gestured to a nearby rock. "Sit."

Alyssa hesitated for a moment before obeying, lowering herself onto the rock. Her ankles wobbled, and her hands clenched into fists as she tried to steady herself. "What do you want from me?" she asked, her voice trembling.

Scarlet's smirk widened as she crouched in front of Alyssa, her sharp blue eyes locking onto hers. "What I want," she said slowly, "is for you to understand exactly what you did to Holo. I want you to feel the weight of every cruel word, every humiliating moment, every ounce of pain you caused him."

Alyssa's breath hitched as Scarlet leaned closer, her voice dropping to a whisper. "You played him. You humiliated him in front of the entire school. And for what? A laugh? A moment of entertainment?" Scarlet's tone grew sharper, more venomous. "Do you have any idea how much you broke him?"

Alyssa shook her head, tears streaming down her face. "I... I didn't mean to—"

"Don't lie to me," Scarlet snapped, her voice cutting through the air like a knife. "You knew exactly what you were doing. You saw someone vulnerable, someone kind, and you crushed him. And for what? To feel better about yourself?"

Scarlet's eyes narrowed as she began circling Alyssa, her voice dripping with scorn. "You're pathetic, Alyssa. You put on this perfect façade, but it's just that—a façade. Deep down, you're nothing but a miserable little girl, desperate for attention and validation."

Alyssa's shoulders shook as she sobbed, her hands covering her face. Scarlet's words hit harder than she could have imagined, each one cutting deeper than the last.

"You know what the funny thing is?" Scarlet continued, her tone almost mocking. "Holo would have forgiven you. That's the kind of person he is. But me? Oh, I don't forgive. And I don't forget."

Scarlet crouched down in front of Alyssa again, her voice dropping to a chilling whisper. "You should have died instead of Holo. It should have been you. But don't worry—I'm going to fix that."

Alyssa's head shot up, her tear-streaked face pale with terror. "W-what are you talking about?"

Scarlet didn't answer. Instead, she stood and raised her foot, bringing it down on Alyssa's ankle with a sickening crack. Alyssa screamed in pain, clutching her leg as she writhed on the ground.

Scarlet tilted her head, a satisfied smile playing on her lips. "Oops," she said mockingly. "Did that hurt?"

Alyssa tried to crawl away, but Scarlet was relentless. She brought her foot down on the other ankle, the sound of the bone snapping echoing through the clearing. Alyssa's screams filled the air, her body convulsing as tears streamed down her face.

"Now," Scarlet said, her voice calm and composed, "let's go for a swim."

She grabbed Alyssa by the arms, dragging her toward the water despite her protests and feeble attempts to resist. The cold water lapped at their feet as Scarlet pushed her closer to the edge.

"Please," Alyssa sobbed, her voice breaking. "I'm sorry. I'll do anything—just don't do this."

Scarlet's smile widened, her blue eyes gleaming with a sadistic light. "Too late for apologies," she said sweetly. "It's time you learned what it feels like to be powerless."

With a final push, Scarlet sent Alyssa tumbling into the lake. The water engulfed her, and she flailed desperately, her broken ankles preventing her from staying afloat. Her screams turned to gurgles as the water filled her lungs, her movements growing weaker with each passing second.

Scarlet stood at the water's edge, watching with a serene expression as Alyssa sank beneath the surface. Her heart raced with a twisted sense of satisfaction, her smile never faltering.

When the water finally grew still, Scarlet turned and walked away, her footsteps silent against the forest floor. She felt no guilt, no remorse—only a sense of justice.

Holo was safe now. And she would do whatever it took to ensure it stayed that way.
