Lavender:

"I'll need a minute to order," I told the waitress walking my way. She nodded and went back behind the counter to chat with another guy in the back. 

I had finished my twelve-hour nursing shift when I packed my bags to travel to this city. I was always rushing to stay with my mom after enduring my uncle’s cruelty.

I had turned nineteen a week ago and had been working nonstop as a nurse since then. They drained me completely in one week, but at least I was able to earn something.

My thoughts were briefly interrupted as the door burst open like someone was in an emergency, and a tall man in a black suit and glasses barged in.

I shifted in my seat, avoiding direct eye contact.

He had a sharp jawline with a bit of a beard and mustache. His high cheekbones were pretty much all I could focus on. He walked ahead and took the seat next to the window across from my table.

There was something about his presence that radiated darkness, but I avoided thinking too much about it.

I had my own little situation to deal with.

Instead of heading straight to my mom’s place, I had to come here, eat something, and then go donate blood.

I hadn’t even recovered from the last time.

The man didn't seem to order, still wearing his black sunglasses, sitting so straight that my back hurt just watching him.

Ever since he walked into the café, I had a bad feeling about him.

And then, just when I thought maybe I was overthinking, the door burst open again, and two armed men rushed in.

It all happened in an instant. My body went cold and numb, freezing up while the men aimed at the man in the suit.

“We found the Mafia boss,” one of the men spoke on the earpiece and my heart sank at his words. Beads of sweats had only formed on my temples when the next shocking event was already in process. 

Without wasting a second, the man got up, pulling out two guns.

Gunfires erupted, and I threw myself under the table, shaking in panic. A few other customers started screaming while the shots rang through the air.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

I pressed my hands over my ears, curling into a ball until I could no longer hear anything.

Then, I slowly lifted my head to look at the aftermath. The two men who had barged in were lying dead at the entrance, along with two customers in the back.

I quickly got to my feet and rushed to the customers to check for any signs of life. But the moment I held their wrists to check their pulse, I realized they were already gone.

"You a doctor?"

I heard the click of a gun behind me, and my heart sank.

Steadying myself, I stood with my hands up in surrender.

I turned to the man in suit, the Mafia boss, and noticed the blood seeping from the side of his stomach. He pointed at my lab coat.

"I’m a nurse," I replied, shaking badly.

This man before me was a mafia boss, and because of him many innocent people lost their lives. And here he was, still alive. The gun pointing straight at me made me lose my breath.

"Get rid of the bullet," he muttered, glancing at the bullet hole in his white shirt.

He had taken off his glasses, so I could see his gray eyes directly, but I wouldn’t dare.

"I don't know how to do it," I lied. I had experience with bullet wounds because of the recent attack on the school. There were so many casualties that we all had to rush and help them.

"Really?"

But this man—the man those intruders had called the Mafia boss—seemed so intimidating.

"Then you are of no use to me."

I couldn't believe this was happening right now. At the same time, a server from the counter started crawling toward the exit.

The man in front of me suddenly pulled his arm back without even looking and fired a shot, killing the poor server right before my eyes.

"Ahh!" A scream escaped my lips, and I collapsed in fear, my hands covering my ears.

The man then pointed the gun at me again.

"I can help—"

The words left my mouth before I even realized it. The fear of death is a crazy thing. It makes people make rash decisions.

He gestured with his gun for me to move behind the counter and into the kitchen. I prayed no one else was in there. This man wouldn’t hesitate to spill more blood.

However, just as I reached the counter, I saw dead bodies lying there. There was no one left alive.

"Keep going. The more you delay, the more people will show up," he pressed the tip of the gun to my back and gave me a push before walking closer to me from behind. He whispered in my ear, "Do you want me to keep spilling blood?"

I didn’t understand why he just didn’t leave and go to the hospital. He was a damn boss—he could have his own private hospital.

But I couldn’t ask him any questions. He must have his own reasons, reasons I didn’t care about.

Once we were in the kitchen, I turned around to quickly get started before the cops arrived. He made it clear that the minute someone came in, he wouldn’t hesitate to shoot me and them. The café being in a pretty abandoned area worked in his favor.

"You need to lie down," I said, hoping he wouldn’t make this harder.

"Just do your job. I’m fine."

Of course, he didn’t understand basic protocol.

I sighed and carefully lifted his shirt. His abs moved up and down with his heavy breathing. He was probably twenty five and tall as a giant. I checked his wound thoroughly, rushing to the cupboard and finding the first aid kit.

As I cleaned the wound, I realized it was just a flesh wound.

"The bullet only grazed past it. It's not lodged inside, but you’re losing blood," I said, pressing on the wound to stop the bleeding before doing anything else.

I watched him keep staring at me to the point that my hands started to shake.

"You might wanna look away. It’ll help," I made it seem like I was saying it for his comfort, but the truth was, his intense gaze was making me nervous.

"Shut up. Do your work," he hissed again, making me clench my jaw in frustration.

I started cleaning it with water, but he grunted.

"Use alcohol. You don’t even know that much?"

He was so difficult to deal with, but since he had a gun, I had to bite my tongue.

"Sir, the alcohol might damage the tissue," I replied respectfully, my voice shaky.

Meanwhile, he had called his men, and my fear of leaving this place unharmed grew stronger.

After I put a bandage on his wound, I added, "You need proper medical care. You’ve lost a lot of blood."

I was afraid of what would happen next.

He seemed out of it at this point, but I had done my part.

Would he let me go now?

My question was answered when he pointed the gun at my head.

"Can’t let—any witness get away, can I?"

My eyes widened, and my body trembled. My legs moved on their own as I stepped back, trying to put distance between us.

I saw his finger on the trigger, but then his eyes started closing. He shook his head, and when he fired, he missed—for the first time.

I had dropped to my knees, my head in my hands, when I heard a thud and saw his body collapse.

"I need to get out of here," I whispered.

I knew his men would arrive any minute, so I had to leave.

If I left, I would be fine.

I was sure he wouldn’t come after me. He was a mafia boss, and he knew that I knew that too. No sane person would go around snitching on the boss.

I ran out of the kitchen, keeping my eyes off the dead bodies.

The thought of how these men started this fight, hurting innocent people, broke my heart.

I grabbed my stuff and rushed out of the café on foot, stumbling and running like a madwoman.

Once I was far away, I took a cab to the hospital.

I will be fine.

I kept reminding myself.

As long as I didn’t talk about it, no one would come looking for me.

"You look sweaty. Isn’t it cold outside?" the nurse joked while drawing blood from me.

"I had to rush here so I could make it back home in time," I replied, feeling my heart race in my chest again.

"You are finally here," my mother rushed in, shaking her head at me in disbelief.

"I stopped by a café to eat something," I told her, genuinely hoping she would care at least a little about me. I had been traveling for the last few hours, and I was exhausted.

"Huh," my mom rolled her eyes, placing her bag on the table and accidentally spilling its contents.

"Can I meet Grandma today?"

The minute I asked, I watched her face darken. It was a clear sign that I needed to drop it and leave her mother alone. I have been donating blood to my grandma for some time ever since I got the news of her being in an accident and then falling into a coma. But not once was I allowed to see her. 

"Just do your part and don’t bring your evil eye to her," she hissed, gesturing for the nurse to step aside so they could talk privately after she removed the needle from my arm.

I got up from the bed and watched my mother whispering to the nurse before returning to me.

"Grab my bag. We have a busy day today," my mom ordered.

I quickly reached for the scattered items and shoved them into her bag when my eyes landed on a picture.

It had fallen out, but the real problem was the person in the picture. I kept staring at it, my breath hitching as I recognized the face.

It was the guy from the café.

The Boss!

He was standing next to a much older man—probably his father?

Before I could ask my mother why this picture was in her purse, I heard her speak again. What she said next left me frozen.

"Hmm, that is my soon-to-be husband and his son—your stepfather and stepbrother. We will be meeting them today."

    Lavender:“What is wrong with you?” my mother complained once we entered the house, and I closed the door like it was an emergency.I was holding the cake in my hand that I had brought earlier, but the excitement of celebrating my birthday had faded now.“Mom, you need to listen to me.” I couldn’t believe we made it to the house without me telling her about her new husband.I had no clue she was getting married, and I would have been happier had it not been to someone who was a fricking boss’s father.“What is it?” My mom rolled her eyes, putting her purse down. I looked around and saw the mess. There were boxes in every corner and disposable plates and cups lying around.“You should not marry this man.” The minute I pointed at her bag, I watched darkness take over her eyes.She looked angry right from the start.“What did you say? Huh! You want me to live my life without a man? Do I not deserve happiness?” My mother’s tantrum wasn’t new. She would always lose it with me."I'm not say

    Lavender:"Oh, that is my umm—daughter. She is Lavender," my mother's smile instantly faded when reminded of my existence. I hated how every time she looked at me, it felt like her soul left her body. I understood her trauma, but I was just caught in the middle. I didn’t want to cause her any more stress.That’s why I stayed with her, even when I wanted to run away, so she could be at peace. But her living conditions didn’t allow me to leave her when she needed me the most.After her mental struggles, my mother wasn’t able to keep a job. My sisters only worked part-time jobs that could barely cover their own expenses.So, I had to step up.From a young age, as early as 15, I’d been doing odd jobs, side gigs, and online freelancing to help my mother live the life she had always dreamed of.I thought it would be enough to make up for my father’s crime against an innocent woman.But today, she let me down.

    Lavender:I had quickly stepped back from him, fixing my posture to show him obedience. "I live with my uncle every few months. It's an agreement between my mom and my uncle."I made up an excuse to leave, rubbing my hands nervously and keeping my eyes down."But you just came back. Your mom told me about the agreement and everything. So don't think I don’t know," he had a strange calmness to his tone—both fake and real at the same time, if that made any sense."Umm! I’ll just go and stay with him a little longer. I don’t think I’ll get the nursing job here anyway," I continued making up another lie. I had already been asked to start working at a private hospital as one of the housing nurses. "You don’t have to worry about that either." He pulled his arms back and clasped his hands behind him, standing tall at 6 feet 3 inches."Please let me go. I swear I won’t tell a soul." That was it—I had to come clean and tell him I was too scared to stay here.He tilted his head, his handsome f

    Lavender:Shaking and panting, I forced my body up and stepped out from behind the couch. There was no point in hiding and provoking him.Now that I could see the whole scene before my eyes, I wanted to gag and run out of the room. But I couldn't—he wouldn’t let me.He was sitting on the couch, one arm stretched over the backrest while the other—his bloodied hand—held a cigar.A man was dying before him, yet it didn’t seem to affect him.Nothing did.Not even the fact that his once-white shirt had turned red from the man’s blood.It was clear—he was the reason behind the man's condition."Sit." He moved his outstretched arm to pat the seat beside him.I hesitated before sitting down, keeping a safe distance from him. But the smell of blood mixed with the smoke from his cigar made me nauseous.I was already weak from the blood transfusion, and this sight was only adding to my anxiety."This man tried to run away from me," Nikon said in the calmest, most chilling tone.

    Lavender:I fell asleep dreaming about the next time I’d exchange emails with Eston–the famous model I had a crush on. They were mostly about work, but sometimes he would flirt a little, and that would be enough for me to have dreams about him for weeks afterward.But then, my dreams were interrupted by the sunlight streaming through the window with no curtains. I covered my eyes and shifted in bed until I realized where I was.I woke up in a bad mood, recalling the events of the night and feeling a deep sense of dread.The bathroom in the attic was smaller than a storage closet, but I liked having a bathroom in my room. There was no warm water in the shower, so I had to dance under the cold water miserably.I had thrifted a black tie-shoulder smock floral white midi dress that fit my body perfectly. It was something I frequently did—visiting a thrift store whenever I saved enough money. I matched it with a black cardigan sweater, a tote bag, and beige suede ankle-strap pumps.I braid

    Lavender:My heart had skipped a beat, and the world had tilted beneath my feet. I swear, I stared at him for a good few minutes, even though they noticed.“You good? You look like you just saw a ghost,” Nikon snapped his fingers in front of my face, snapping me back to the present.I nodded, feeling paralyzed in my body.“I wasn’t eavesdropping—I was asked by my mom to bring everyone for breakfast,” thank goodness my brain worked at the right moment, and I came up with an excuse. Even if they didn’t believe me, I had done my part.My head was spinning, and my thoughts were all over the place.I couldn’t even look back at Easton without realizing I had been in the dark about literally everything.The nice, good guy, who couldn’t stand to see anyone in pain, was talking about my grave just a minute ago.He was so fake—all his songs and interviews, all his runway walks where he acted all shy yet sexy—it was all a fake persona.

    Lavender:“I was walking by the hallway and heard the buzzing noise.” Igor had brought the devil upstairs. And ever since he stormed up, I had been glued to the wall in the corner.Nikon was in a suit, probably ready to head out for his ‘work,’ but now he was standing by the bed, hands on his waist, and a very upset look on his face.Igor, however, was leaning against the wall by the window, amusement in his eyes as if he was about to be entertained.“Firstly,” Nikon stretched his neck, turning his attention to his brother, “you should not be in your stepsister’s room. And secondly, I don’t care what you’ve been doing in your life, but now that you’re living here, I will not tolerate such behavior.”That was his warning to me.“But I—,” I only tried to speak when he hushed me down.“Hush! Don’t talk when I don’t ask you to. Go grab your fucking bag and go to your job,” he hissed at me, silencing me with the finger he pointed at me.He looked so angry with me."I will discard this blas

Go ahead, do it,” he said, and then nudged me, pushing me toward the living room.I quickly stepped away because I knew he wasn’t wrong. My mother wouldn’t want to go with me. Nobody would. So I should be grateful that at least someone was volunteering to take me with them.I noticed how well-dressed Nikon was for the dinner party. It must be a big one. Everyone would be there—the rich and famous people too. And when I would be introduced as their stepsister, it would be a moment of victory.

    Lavender:I went straight to my room and changed into my PJs to lie down in bed. We had arrived earlier than we had planned.It was 2 AM, and I was restless. I knew I had to confront Easton about his comments on me.However, deep down, I had a feeling Igor was lying just to cause tension between me and his brother.Levi: Hey :) I heard you had your stepsisters over at the shooting location the other night. There were talks about them.That was a long guess. He knew I did his PR work and made speeches for him, so it was obvious that somehow words had reached my ears. However, what he didn’t know was that it wasn’t my line of work. I didn’t work for anyone, and I had no connections with paparazzi or anyone like that.Thankfully, his message arrived soon, or I would have kept staring at my phone. But the context of his text didn’t help with my anxiety.E-Tron: Oh! I guess I know what you're talking about. Yeah, she was being so "pick-me" there. One of them. She ruined it so much, acting

    Lavender:"Take this, it will help your body warm up," Igor grunted when I didn't accept the coffee he was offering me. He had taken me back to the cruise that had been waiting for him. He had a cruise for himself later. He was probably not planning on returning with his friends.The race was still ongoing, and Valerie had to stay behind to take care of Raymond.It’s not that she was supporting him, but they had to leave one person behind with Raymond.I finally accepted the coffee cup, and he sat down with me."Earlier, when you talked about your brother... What did you mean? I mean, Easton is very respectful towards me," I uttered softly, trying not to raise his suspicions more than I already had."Easton and respectful? He has many women in and out of his life. I don’t think he has time to be respectful towards them. And if he is, that means he isn’t done using their bodies for fun. I’m not claiming my brother uses anyone. Usually, women just throw themselves at him without any dem

    Lavender:My body was under so much stress, but I didn’t stop fighting. I would scratch his whole body if I had to. As I pulled his hair, his hold over me started to loosen. That’s when his grip tightened around my neck in an attempt to choke me until I passed out.Coughs erupted from my mouth, my throat closing as he choked me from behind with his arm wrapped around my neck, my chin tightly pressed against his arm.I was trying my best to stand up from the ground, but at this point, I was beginning to realize it wouldn't be possible for me.However, as the world started to fade around me, I felt sudden relief. The weight of his body on my back was no longer forcing me down. I rolled over to get away from him, and while lying flat on my back, coughing, I saw someone get on top of him and start beating him to a pulp.It took me a few seconds to finally see clearly and catch my breath. It was Igor, punching his friend wildly.“Let him go, you’re going to kill him,” Valerie kept shouting

    Igor:"Wooooo! We are definitely going to win!" Valerie giggled, sticking her tongue out at the passing cars.Her fingers were covered in rings, bracelets stacked up, and big earrings dangled from her ears. She was all set and ready for the race.This would mark us as the best among the racers."What do you think? If I open this window now, will my top come off?" she asked, clicking her tongue and spreading her legs to sit more comfortably."You call this a top? It's a bra, ma'am," I teased, and she laughed loudly. She had gone out with me to buy this outfit and jewelry for the special night.Whenever she needed something, she'd ask me to take her shopping. She never made me pay, even when I always insisted. She’d say she just wanted my opinion. But honestly, I didn’t know what to say to her. Everything she picked out looked good on her."Do you think this skirt are too short?" she asked, pouting, her arm stretching out, hand in my hair, running her fingers through it."No! It suits t

    Lavender:All the cars started leaving, one after another. Loud engines, bright lights, dust in the air. I just sat on the chair and watched them go. It was like they couldn’t wait to race. Then I saw it.One car didn’t move.It stayed in the same place while the others drove away. That felt strange. I looked at it again. The windows were dark, but I could see someone inside.He was looking at me.I didn’t know who he was, but I knew he wasn’t just sitting there. He was staring. At me. Not moving, not blinking. Just watching.My stomach felt tight. Like something was wrong. Really wrong.I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t. My eyes stayed on the car. My body didn’t move. I felt cold even though the night wasn’t that cold.Why was he still there?Why was he watching me?I started recalling who had sat down in that one particular car. His form was not recognizable because of the tinted windows, until all the cars had passed me and disappeared. Then, he slowly rolled the window down.T

    Lavender:“Let me go,” I started kicking and screaming when a hand grabbed me. It was Igor.“Shut up before I smack the teeth out of your mouth,” he screamed as he grabbed me by both my arms and shook me awake.“I will not allow you or your friends to touch me,” I screamed in his face, and he gave me a blank expression.“We are not going to. Do you think you’re that important for us to spend the precious time we’ve planned for weeks convincing you to have sex with us?” he hissed back, and my protesting started to fade away. “That jerk was making a joke.”“Well, it wasn’t funny because it happens to women all the time—” Finally, I teared up.It was my worst fear, and hearing his friend think it was a funny joke broke me down. There were some girls with some of the guys, and even they laughed about it.At least some of them did.“Yeah, it’s not funny. I call him an asshole for a reason. Nobody is touching you, so don’t worry,” he then let me go while promising no one would touch me.I d

    Lavender:I had finished my dinner and went back to my room, planning to change and rest. Thankfully, Nikon had taken the right stance, or else I don’t even want to imagine being at the island with that psycho.I was about to grab my wig and the black backdrop when a loud banging on the door almost knocked the world from under my feet. It was aggressive, like someone was in an emergency. I jumped off the bed and reached the door, worried that someone got sick or hurt.Or maybe some emergency had arrived.But the minute I opened the door and saw Nikon standing outside my room, I knew it wasn’t anything like what I had thought.“Grab your aid kit, you’re going with Igor,” Nikon stormed in, his presence wild and threatening. Behind him was Igor, who only leaned to the side, supporting his body with the wall.“Huh? But—but you said—” I started panicking almost instantly.

But this time, it was worse because it was for someone like Lavender.Since when did my brother start feeling so bad for a bastard child?I rushed back to my room and grabbed a bottle of wine from my bar. That’s when my friends started blowing up my phone.“I’m not coming,” I hissed at them.“But why not? We’ve planned everything. The ferry is ready, our cars are ready to go—why are you changing your mind now? Don’t tell me you’re having cold feet. Are you scared of losing?” As they laughed, I clenched my jaw secretly.They had no clue that it wasn’t funny to me.I had been mistreated so much that now no one took me seriously.“Fear of losing, my brother? There’s no way Igor would be afraid of losing,” I didn’t know Nikon would come to my room. If I had known, I would have closed the door.But now he was standing in the doorway with his arms folded over his chest.“Brother Nikon—but he’s saying he isn’t coming,” my friend must have g

After what happened between me and Easton, I was over the moon.I couldn’t stop smiling even when no one said anything nice to me.We were dining together and my sisters were gushing over the scenery from the picnic.“Daddy, can my friend come over sometime?” Sabrina said to Mister Volkov, making him smile in surprise at the fact that she was calling him her father.“Sure, they can come whenever they want. It is your house—” Mister Volkov suddenly stopped when Nikon placed his spoon down.It was done so politely, but somehow it made everyone turn to look at him.“But of course, ask for your brother’s permission first,” Mister Volkov corrected himself.“It’s okay. As long as they don’t walk around poking their noses in everyone’s business—especially mine and my brother’s,” Nikon warned her, grabbing his spoon again.He was usually quiet all the time.And just when I thought I hadn’t been under his scrutiny for a while,
