Lavender. âWhat are you fucking saying to me?! That you sold me to the twins for a billion dollars?!â I spat, pointed at her face as tears blurred my vision. Hurt was etched on her face but I didn't care. Just a few hours ago, I was married to twin CEOs and I was forced to say the vows. She planned all of this and I should have known it was nothing close to a birthday when I was asked to wear a white dress. âDonât yell at your mother like that, Lavender! That's disrespectful! It was all for your own good. You don't understand! Don't make a supposed happy day terrible for your mother,â Aunt Kathy said, standing from the chair and pulling Mom back to defend her. âAunt Kathy, I only have business with my mother and not you. Don't add to the reasons why I hate you. This is a nuclear family conversation and you shouldn't even be here in the first place!â I retorted, feeling rage swell in me and I could tell it would explode soon âHow dare you say such a thing to me! I didn't teach you to be so rude, Lav. I am like a mother to you and you must respect me!â. I scoffed. "Leave and keep your respect or stay and get disrespected. I am not in for any of your shit tonight, Aunt Kathy,â I responded, pointing my hand towards the golden door. âClose the door behind you,". âI am not going to leave,â She spat back. I let out a sigh, shutting my eyes in frustration. I didn't know where I got the strength from but I shoved her aside and stepped closer to Mom. âWhat were you saying, Mom? You sold me out?â I asked, waiting for a response as I crossed my arms but she didn't even open her mouth. She only averted my eyes. âIt was only for your good and if you understand, you wouldn't be here complaining. Just go home with the twins, the car is waiting outside and it's getting late,â That was all she could say. "Oh so now you're saying I should go home with strangers? Those ruthless bastards? Are you even seeing what the internet is saying about them? Don't you love me? I'm your only child, Mom, and all you could think of was selling me to cold-hearted jerks?â. She sighed. "They are nothing like how you see them. They will never hurt you, I promise. Don't ruin everything again, Lavender. Just listen to me!â Her face darkened and she finally looked me in the eyes. âOh so this is it? This is the best birthday party ever that you promised me? As it seems to you, you didn't break your promise or did you?â I asked, forcing a smile with my eyes filled with tears. My heart squeezed in my chest as it refused to comprehend the betrayal. Mom and I were just perfect. Our Mother daughter bond was out of this world and we couldn't spend a day without communicating but what happened to that bond we both used to share? How did she plan all of this without even bothering to tell me? The Mom I knew was always transparent with me. I thought she loved me as her only daughter and I loved her back. She was the only one I had, not even a father. She was the only one I trusted with my whole heart and I found it hard to trust others as she had all my trust but this was how she chose to repay me. Tears glimmered in her eyes and I felt my heartstrings snap. She spread her arms to hug me, âI didn't break my promise, Lavender. It was only to protect you. I swear. I love you and you-â. I pushed her back. "Don't you come near me. Don't you even dare to freaking touch me, Mom. I don't need your protection anymore. You claim to protect me but broke me. What would it cost you to have explained earlier?â, "I didn't want to hurt you,â, âHow did that turn out now?!â I yelled between gritted teeth. âIt was all to protect you, you don't understand!" Aunt Kathy chipped in. "Shut up, Aunt Kathy!â I snapped at her, a lone tear stumbling down my cheek. âDon't shed those pearls of yours, Lav. Sooner or later, you'll realize the truth,â Mom said, her voice breaking. âMake me realize it now! If you wanted the billion dollars so badly, why didn't you just loan one? We have a business that makes millions yearly and our life is amazing. Why would you crave for such money and give your daughter out for your own selfish desires?â. She let out a sigh, shaking her head as she avoided my eyes again. "Make me understand!". She kept mute for a while, not saying a word and I fought the urge to pull her black hair and make her speak. âYour past came back for you but I stood as a mother for you, protecting you,âShe whispered in a low voice. "Remember what you did in the past?" She added. My heart pounded against my ribcage as my breath became unstable. Every second seemed to pull my heart closer to doom as I patiently waited for her words. From the word 'pastâ, I knew something had gone wrong. From her blue eyes, I could tell some heartbreaking words were about to escape her lips. I clenched my fist. âWhat?" I mouthed.

003 Lavender. "What?â I mouthed. The door slammed open, making me jolt. My neck cocked to look at the end of the hall. A lady was standing before the opened door. She was dressed in a white shirt and a black skirt that complemented her petite figure. Her short brown hair was pulled into a tight ponytail, defining her pretty face which held a small smile. âMiss Brille, it's time to leave,â her voice floated through the hall as she slightly lowered her head in respect. My neck tilted back to look at Mom. I flashed her a staggering smile as another tear escaped my eyes. âHappy to hear me lose our last name?â I asked. "See you never, Mom," I added in a whisper with a heavy breath, my voice breaking at each syllable as my heart compressed in my chest. I turned to the door, shoving Aunt Kathy out of the way as I ran out, grabbing my dress by the knee, my heels clinking against the marbles. âAre you alright, miss?" The lady asked. I nodded, wiping my tears with the back of my hand

004 Lavender. I stared at myself in the mirror, half naked with only my panties and bra on. Yes, I looked elegant and my curves were magnificent but my face was a disaster. The mascara had spilled all over my face from crying earlier, making me look like something that crawled out from a horror movie. I let out a sigh, cupping my hand in the running water as the cold water streamed in my hand. I shoved my face into my palm, rubbing it tenderly a couple of times before reaching for one of the rose gold silk nightgowns and slipping it on. It felt so soft and smooth on my skin and the material was of obvious quality. I made my way out of the bathroom and straight out of the room with my phone in my hand. Descending down the stairs, the flip-flops on my feet slapped against the marble floors. The closer I drew to the ground floor, the slower I descended the stairs. I wasn't ready for any of these. I wasn't. I let out a sigh, mustering my confidence again and stepping forward in

005 Lavender. A tune pierced through the air, clearing the tense atmosphere. My neck snapped to where the sound was coming from to look at my phone screen on the armrest. JULIANNA. She was my personal assistant at work and my emotional and mental support system most times. âSorry, I have to take this," I said to the twins before grabbing my phone and swiping up the green icon. âHey," I said, bringing the phone to my ear. âHey," Julianna responded and I could hear what sounded like fear and tension lurking in her voice. âW-what's wrong? Is everything alright?" I asked, worry etched on my face as my lips slightly curved downwards. âCome quick! I'll send you the location!" She demanded. "What happened? Is it urgent? Where are you? What's going on?" I showered her with questions and with each word, my tongue rolled faster to blurt out the next. She didn't respond. âJulie, what's going on?!" I shouted. âYour Mom," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. âWhat happened to

006 Lavender. âI'm here to see Aunt Kathy," I said in a low voice, standing before her husband. "She isn't home, she had an emergency call for something else really important and that's why she couldn't make it,â. I shook my head. "Important than her sister?â. "Our kids, they stay at a boarding school so the person in charge of the school called, asking her to come urgently,â. I pressed my lips into a thin line. "OhâŚ. Alright then. I hope everything goes-". âHey, babe! Did you forget to get the toothpaste on your way-â. My neck snapped towards where the sound was coming from and my eyes met with Aunt Kathy's. Her jaw dropped as her eyes met mine. She held a toothbrush in her hand and she was wrapped in a long nightgown. She forced a smile, managing to wave her hand. âHey! Lavender!!" She said, walking from the stairs to where I stood. She spread her arms for a hug but I just stared, unable to believe what just happened. She placed both her hands on my shoulders, patting me

This is a note to let you know that I'll start updating the chapters immediately when I finish my other ongoing book(Between Mafia Lines) in less than two weeks. But there's another reason for this note, it's to inform you that If you've added this book to your library before 12, TUESDAY, NOVEMBER, 2024, Please do remove it from your library and add it back. If you're uncertain about the date, you can do the same to be on the safe side. The reason I'm asking you to remove it and add it back to your library is because I rewrote the first 6 chapters and made it MORE interesting to attract readers and some things in the storyline changed. Plus, the reason why the twins bought Lavender is revealed in the new first six chapters and you need to remove it from your library and add it back to your library so the updated chapters will reflect and be updated on your end too so you don't miss it. Before removing from your library, don't forget to take note of the title, please, so you won't ha

007Lavender."Start talking!â My voice thundered through the whole building.She flinched as I yelled, and her lips parted, her voice coming out as a soft whisper that was almost inaudible.I glared at her, my teeth grinding as my fist clenched, my nails sinking into my palm and as she whispered, my heart hammered in my chest.âYour Mom. She's a monster. Your mother is a monster. I'll tell you that if you're unaware.â.I swallowed, my heart jumping to my throat as I felt my vision blur with rage.âHow dare you say that about your sister?! Know your fucking limit. Was that why you sent men to attack her?! Is that the reason?!!â I yelled through gritted teeth."Capa," a masculine voice was heard. Snapping my neck to look at the man who stood at the front door, I felt my rage fade away slowly as his presence was uncalled for.Capa? Is that even a word?Aunt Kathy walked slowly in his direction. Suddenly, her aura changed and it seemed as though she became someone I didn't recognize.She

I took his hand and he walked me to his friends.âHey," I smiled at them.They smiled back, looking at Charlie who stood beside me, pulling out a chair for me to sit.I turned to him. âYou don't have to. It's your seat, have it then. This is the last one anyway, I'll stand." I said.He shook his head, gesturing for me to sit. "No. You sit.".Oh, how I could die for those braces which glimmered on his perfect teeth.I averted his eyes, gazing down at his long fingers which were still holding on the chair, his knuckles white.âI just came anyway, have the seat." I responded in a silent whisper, tucking my hair behind my ear."If you insist, can we share?" He said those same words he said to me in highschool. I remembered that day. That day, I sat on his lap in the bus until we arrived at our destination.I felt my heart flutter. I stole a glance at his face and the smirk on his lip

Immediately, I recognized his voice, it was Charlie.Another gunshot floated in the air as we made our way outside.Charlie slammed the door open as we made our way out of the bar, shoving me forward. âGet in the back seat!" He commanded, his voice heavy with tension.My legs shook as I navigated my way to the car sheepishly, pulling the door open with my shaky hands.I slammed the door. The sound of glass shattering was heard as I flinched, the window of the car breaking with the pieces falling on my body.I screamed, shielding my face from the clattering glass.A slam of the car door was heard, then the car engine roared alive. My chest heaved up and down as I managed to move to the other end of the backseat.âAre you okay?" Charlie shouted, his neck snapping back once in a while to look at me.âYes." I whispered.âYou'll be safe. Come to t

048Lavender.It's been hours since we've brought Lorenzo to the hospital and it was now 3am. I sat in the waiting room, my eyes heavy and pleading to rest but my heart desired otherwise. I forced myself to stay awake, pacing back and forth for some minutes then settling down then pacing again.I was restless while Lorenzo's best friend sat there with his head facing down.âJust rest.â He advised, observing my restlessness.I gulped, letting out a sigh as I turned to look at him with hopeless eyes.He stretched his hand, inviting me to come sit.âRelax. He'll be fine.âI groaned, dragging myself back to sit beside him. âI hope so.âWe sat there for about thirty minutes, and somehow, the silence ate me up slowly.Seeing him sit calmly beside me was baffling. âDo you not care about him?â I mouthed, placing my elbow on my knee with my jaw in my palm.âOf course, I do. He's my favorite person.ââI know, but you don't seem worried. You're way too calm.ââThis ain't the first time anyway. I

046Lavender.My nails sank deep into my palm, my grip tightening on the fork as I sat right beside Lorenzo, puncturing the salad repeatedly.Since Dorothy left, betraying me, Lorenzo and I had still not said anything to each other and my fate was uncertain.Does this mean Iâm now free from Charlieâs assignment, or does it mean Iâve failedâand should be afraid?My heart kept pounding in my chest the whole time, not only because of my uncertain fate but somehow, jealousy had been spreading in me like wildfire since earlier today, threatening to erupt.I swallowed for the nth time, trying to hold myself from throwing questions at Lorenzo. But again, I shouldnât be worried about that. I should worry about myself and what Charlie might possibly do to me.âWhatâs wrong?" Lorenzo whispered, his voice low.I didnât respond. I kept staring into space silently until I felt my phone vibrate on the table.I grabbed it, my face plastered to the screen.âWhere is the original flash drive, this shi

She looked nothing far from a lost kitten.In no time, I arrived at the hotel where Charlie said he was for the meantime that afternoon.I climbed out of the car, striding into the building.âI'm here to see Charlie Brown. He's at room 001" I said to the ladies behind the counter, skipping the pleasantries.I had no time for fucking greetings. I just needed to see Charlie now! Right away!âAre you Dorothy?â One of them asked.I scoffed, looking away."Here you go," she slid a key to my side of the counter. I flashed her a smile, âHave a great day ahead of you,"She hummed. I turned to leave, taking the elevator until I got to the second floor.I walked out of the elevator and the room that was right ahead of me had the tag 001 on it.I sighed, walking to the door.

She then leaned in, and whispered, ânot because I can't,"I gulped. âTha-"âShush," she whispered, taking her hand off my shoulder and placing her index on her lips. âDon't thank me yet. I won't tell him about it, on one condition,âShe turned away, cat walking slowly to the bed. Spinning around, she lowered her body as she arched her back to sit on the soft bed.âWe both have the same goal. You find the flash drive with me and we take it to Charlie. It's a fair deal actually. Lorenzo loves me, so I'll distract him most of the time to buy you time to search for the flash drive. Once you find it, you get out of this mess as we'll take it to Charlie together.âI took in a sharp breath, my chest inflating.

I pulled it to where he sat, positioning the chair to face his side. He shifted his chair also, turning it to face me.My eyes darted to the men who remained there.âLeave," I gestured.They remained immobile, waiting for Charlie's command.I rolled my eyes. âTell them to leave us to have our conversation,"He gestured for them to leave and they immediately turned, leaving the room.After the door slammed, I waited patiently, allowing their footsteps to fade away before I turned to Charlie, grabbing the arms of my chair and pulling it closer to him.âDon't come any closer," he commanded, his voice etched with dominance.I cleared my throat, resting back on the chair. âSo, about the perfect scheme,ââI'm listening,â"We both agreed to meet because of that but you seem to be mo

042Dorothy(the lady who caught Lavender searching for the drive).She didn't understand the fact that this was a game and I caught her red-handed so I could decide to eliminate her or not.I also had my own assignment. In fact, we had the same assignmentâ to get the damned flash drive and whoever gets it first would be the favored person. However, this wasn't a game of speed, it's a game of logic and skills. Who would find it first isn't the fastest, the person who finds it first has better searching skills as nobody knew where Lorenzo kept the flash drive. It would take critical thinking and spying to watch him closely and point out the location of the drive.The way she looked at me was quite satisfying. The feeling that I was winning couldn't just rub off me. Yes, I was winning. Nothing, I repeat, nothing would make her beat me unless she catches me red-handed.And even if she does, it depends on her approach. The way I approached her made me be a step ahead of her. Only if she w

Are you kidding me?!â He raised his voice, slamming the door behind us.My brows furrowed and I immediately turned to look at him. âWhat are you talking about? I thought we talked about this back there and I thought it ended there. What's all the fuss about this time, huh? We talked about this, Lorenzo. What the fuck are you talking about!â I yelled.He snapped at me, stepping closer. "Yes, we talked about this there. We couldn't finish such a private discussion there. It makes no sense to me to talk about things like that away from home.â"I understand,â I sighed, shaking my head. I placed my hands on my hips, "We already know the baby isn't yours, right? We both know. Then what do you want me to do after you discovered it?

I could see the hurt in his eyes. He heard what I said.âLorenzo," I whispered, moving closer to him and stopping him from reaching the Don's son.His brows furrowed and he finally looked at me.I placed my hands on his shoulders, trying to stop him.âI can explain," I uttered, pleading for a chance to just be heard. I was only hoping he would listen.âExplain what?" He roared, his voice busting out all of a sudden.I jolted, swallowing hard on my saliva. âWhat you heard. I'm sorry. It's not what you think. Let me explain.â"Oh, you mean what I heard that the baby isn't mine, right?â He asked sarcastically.I nodded.He scoffed. âYeah, alright. But I never asked for an explanation.

My neck snapped to the left to look at the door, but it was shut and it seemed as though the place was only luxurious yet abandoned.Just then, I heard a strange, cold voice from behind me. I jolted, a small scream escaping my throat. I then got up immediately, my body spinning to face the direction I heard the voice come from. There was a guy. I recognized him immediately, he was the one who pulled my leg during the kidnap.I stumbled back, looking at him with fear dripping in my eyes.T
