Hey Upper East Siders, Gossip Girl here! Miss me? You know you did.
They say, ‘silence is golden,’ but after Lonely Boy blew himself out of
the water fifteen years ago by revealing his identity, everyone took
cover, too afraid to take a bite of the forbidden apple. The good news
is …” I love the taste of the forbidden fruit— especially when it’s
ripe. Besides, don’t you deserve to know what’s going on in the
scandalous lives of Manhattan’s elite? And let’s not forget their
privileged offspring. So, hang onto your hats, things are about to get
pretty hot, and just in case you’ve forgotten, paybacks can be a real
bitch! Oh, go ahead and say it. You know you love me! XOXO
Chuck
Bass stood next to Lily, his stepmother, in the opened doorway of his
father’s office shaking his head in disgust, the anger seething inside
him like a time bomb ready to explode. “What’s wrong with you?” he asked
his father, Bart, after he and Lily had caught him in a tight embrace
kissing Anne Archibald. “You have a beautiful wife and you’re making out
with my best friend’s mother in Lily’s house?”
The flush of
color working its way up Anne’s face was like watching an artist’s brush
cover a large canvas. Bart stood silent, almost stately, as a muscle
in his jaw fluttered. Anne stood frozen in place, her hand covering her
mouth from the embarrassment of being caught. “It was just the heat of
the moment, Lily. I swear,” Anne reasoned, her body jerking around
frantically in an effort to get out of the room. “I’m so sorry. I don’t
know what’s come over me. I didn’t mean to hurt you.”
Lily shot
her an angry look and moved aside to allow the woman to exit. “Get out
of my house, Anne.” Struggling to remain calm, Lily told herself raising
her voice only degraded her as a person and she wouldn’t give Bart that
right— not now, not ever. Turning her attention back to him, she forced
herself to speak in reserved but stern voice. “As for you Bart, I’ll
have Frederick pack your bags immediately. I want you both out of here
today. Am I making myself clear?” Bart remained stoic, never saying a
word.
