Rising From Betrayal Reborn As The Family Outcast novel Chapter 5

Chapter 5 Out Of Her Mind

Alicia didn’t just clap back at anyone who trashed her in the comments.

She even tagged Nicole on X, straight-up telling her to blacklist and shut her down for good.

This whole drama had everyone watching nearly speechless.

Everyone watching left comments.

LoveU: [Geeze, is Alicia out of her mind?]

Crazymind: [Her posts and those comment replies are totally crazy. I’m kinda living for it. Am I too bad?]

Jojo: [Haha, you’re not alone. I feel the same way.]

Footprints: [Alicia’s got guts. She’s the only one who’d tag and call her Bitchy Nicole.]

Sunny:[She’s really cool. I give her my respect.]

Dunno: [Haha, she’s gone totally rogue now. She’s even calling herself the villain and telling the big names behind Nicole to just blacklist her.]

Mindy7: [Honestly, I’ve been sick of Nicole for ages. She’s such a phony.]

CuteAsDucks: [She used her connections to snatch the role from my idol, and then her fans trashed my idol for it. Alicia just said exactly what I’ve been dying to say.]

Casanova : [My fave had her opportunities stolen by Nicole too, but her fans are way too fierce. We can’t win against them, so we just keep quiet. Looks like everyone feels the same…]

HairyPoppins: [This drama is so satisfying. Keep it coming!]

YellowSnowman: [I live for these epic beefs. Don’t stop pls!]

Something: [You guys think the ones backing Bitchy Nicole are really gonna shut Alicia down for good?]

Tinfoilhat: [Bitchy Nicole is Starlight Entertainment’s golden girl, and Nicolas is Starlight’s heir. If he gets involved, plus the Hammond family and the Delaney family pulling strings for her, Alicia could seriously get iced out of the industry.]

Anonymouse: [So is Alicia basically quitting the scene now?]

Otherwise, Alicia wouldn’t have posted something like that. She didn’t just go head-to-head with Nicole, but she made enemies of all the power players behind Nicole too.

Then Nicole’s fans swooped in, starting a whole new round of roasting Alicia all over the place.

They even dropped: [Just waiting for Alicia to get blacklisted and iced out.]

Alicia replied: [Same here. I’m waiting.]

Nicole’s fans were left speechless.

They thought, ‘Seriously, what exactly are you waiting for? She’s out of her mind.’

Seeing Alicia’s clapback, everyone watching the drama couldn’t help but crack up.

No one realized Alicia was so hilarious before.

Nicole always kept an alt account with notifications on for Alicia, so she could keep tabs on her every move.

Whenever Alicia dropped a post on X, Nicole got the alert instantly.

Nicole never saw it coming that a single group photo was all it took to send Alicia off the rails.

Back in the day, Alicia would just ignore Nicole in private, out of respect for the Hammond family. But now? She dragged Nicole out in public, no holds barred.

Nicole couldn’t help but wonder if she’d pushed Alicia totally off the deep end.

That last post really got under Nicole’s skin.

Alicia actually had the nerve to straight-up call Nicole a bitch and even dared Nicole to blacklist her for real.

Alicia obviously put Nicole on blast, making her look bad in front of everyone.

Nicole would love nothing more than to blacklist Alicia and totally ruin her, but she knew she just didn’t have that kind of power.

After all, ever since she joined the Hammond family, Nicole knew exactly how she’d snatched all the attention and favor that used to go to Alicia.

Sure, she played the pitiful victim at first to get their sympathy, but after that, she switched gears. She always acted like the perfect, considerate girl and constantly made it seem like she couldn’t do anything without them.

Sure enough, it worked. They started favoring her more and more.

But that didn’t mean the family had stopped caring about Alicia altogether.

So now, with Alicia roasting her on social media, Nicole was stuck. Responding would just make things worse, but ignoring it would make her look weak.

After thinking it over, Nicole told her agent, “Call Haley and drop her a hint to rein Alicia in before she goes totally off the rails.

“Try to convince Alicia to take down all her posts from today right away.

“If she won’t do it, just log into her account and delete them.”

‘Does she even take me seriously?’ Haley thought to herself.

As soon as Alexandra’s agent called her, Haley tried calling Alicia right away.

But every single time, the line was busy.

After hanging up with Nicole’s agent, Haley was practically ready to explode.

‘Since Alicia doesn’t respect me, don’t blame me for playing hardball,’ Haley thought.

She had the X account logins and passwords for all five members of LUMIA, so she just logged straight into Alicia’s account.

Her plan was exactly what Nicole’s agent had hinted at.

She was going to delete all of Alicia’s posts from today, then post an apology claiming her account had been hacked.

Of course, hardly anyone would actually buy that excuse.

But at least it would let Nicole and Alexandra off the hook, pulling them out of the drama.

Plus, Nicole would end up owing her a favor.

And if Alicia got dragged even harder and roasted by the whole internet, that just played right into Haley’s game plan for LUMIA.

She was basically making Alicia take the heat to prop up the other four girls.

One superstar could never make as much money or rack up the numbers as four superstars.

However, every time Haley tried to log in, it just kept telling her the password was wrong.

Then she realized that Alicia must’ve already changed her password.

That was absolutely unacceptable to Haley.

She kept trying to call Alicia, but the call still couldn’t get through.

After a moment, she grabbed someone else’s phone and dialed Alicia again. This time, the call actually went through.

Clearly, Alicia had blocked her number. Haley’s expression soured even more.
