Lavender.

โ€œWhat are you fucking saying to me?! That you sold me to the twins for a billion dollars?!โ€ 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.

โ€œDonโ€™t 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,โ€ Aunt Kathy said, standing from the chair and pulling Mom back to defend her.

โ€œAunt 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!โ€ I retorted, feeling rage swell in me and I could tell it would explode soon

โ€œHow 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!โ€.

I scoffed. "Leave and keep your respect or stay and get disrespected. I am not in for any of your shit tonight, Aunt Kathy,โ€ I responded, pointing my hand towards the golden door. โ€œClose the door behind you,".

โ€œI am not going to leave,โ€ 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.

โ€œWhat were you saying, Mom? You sold me out?โ€ I asked, waiting for a response as I crossed my arms but she didn't even open her mouth. She only averted my eyes.

โ€œIt 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,โ€ 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?โ€.

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!โ€ Her face darkened and she finally looked me in the eyes.

โ€œOh 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?โ€ 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, โ€œI didn't break my promise, Lavender. It was only to protect you. I swear. I love you and you-โ€.

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?โ€,

"I didn't want to hurt you,โ€,

โ€œHow did that turn out now?!โ€ I yelled between gritted teeth.

โ€œIt was all to protect you, you don't understand!" Aunt Kathy chipped in.

"Shut up, Aunt Kathy!โ€ I snapped at her, a lone tear stumbling down my cheek.

โ€œDon't shed those pearls of yours, Lav. Sooner or later, you'll realize the truth,โ€ Mom said, her voice breaking.

โ€œMake 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?โ€.

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.

โ€œYour past came back for you but I stood as a mother for you, protecting you,โ€She 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 'pastโ€™, 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. โ€œWhat?" I mouthed.

    003 Lavender. "What?โ€ 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. โ€œMiss Brille, it's time to leave,โ€ 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. โ€œHappy to hear me lose our last name?โ€ 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. โ€œAre 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. โ€œSorry, I have to take this," I said to the twins before grabbing my phone and swiping up the green icon. โ€œHey," I said, bringing the phone to my ear. โ€œHey," Julianna responded and I could hear what sounded like fear and tension lurking in her voice. โ€œW-what's wrong? Is everything alright?" I asked, worry etched on my face as my lips slightly curved downwards. โ€œCome 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. โ€œJulie, what's going on?!" I shouted. โ€œYour Mom," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. โ€œWhat happened to

    006 Lavender. โ€œI'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,โ€. I shook my head. "Important than her sister?โ€. "Our kids, they stay at a boarding school so the person in charge of the school called, asking her to come urgently,โ€. I pressed my lips into a thin line. "Ohโ€ฆ. Alright then. I hope everything goes-". โ€œHey, babe! Did you forget to get the toothpaste on your way-โ€. 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. โ€œHey! 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.

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.

    007Lavender."Start talking!โ€ 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.โ€œYour Mom. She's a monster. Your mother is a monster. I'll tell you that if you're unaware.โ€.I swallowed, my heart jumping to my throat as I felt my vision blur with rage.โ€œHow dare you say that about your sister?! Know your fucking limit. Was that why you sent men to attack her?! Is that the reason?!!โ€ 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.โ€œHey," 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. โ€œYou 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.โ€œI 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. โ€œGet 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.โ€œAre you okay?" Charlie shouted, his neck snapping back once in a while to look at me.โ€œYes." I whispered.โ€œYou'll be safe. Come to t

I blurted out before ending the call.I turned to Lorenzo. โ€œLorenzo, I know you're in a rush but can you just park the car now? I need to attend to something in my company real quick. I promise to be back in thirty minutes. Just stop the car, I'll take a taxi or something.โ€โ€œAlright. You have some directions, right?โ€ He asked.I nodded. โ€œOf course, I know the address of my company. I'll have a taxi take me there.โ€โ€œJust direct me, I'll take you.โ€,I chuckled.

Just drop me.โ€ I said, pointing at the company ahead.He shook his head. โ€œIt's fine. I don't want you to take public transport. I'll just take you there and bring you back. The meeting can be cancelled and rescheduled, it's fine. How would I let you take public transport? Just anything can go wrong, and I don't want to put you in an unco

I scoffed, "Talking about standards, let's not talk about who slept with another lady when he has a WIFE,โ€ I taunted him.He grinned as we both got in the car. "I already apologized, wife."I rolled my eyes. โ€œAs if that's enough. Just tell me what the hell pushed you into doing it? Let me guess, you were drunk again?โ€He laughed, reaching his seatbelt. "Come on. As if you would let me touch you, wife. And like you said, it's a contract marriage so I'm not so interested in touching my contract wife which means I am entitled to touching someone else.โ€I gasped, "So you agree to the contract marriage stuff now?"He nodded, โ€œI'm only going with your words and respecting your choice. That's what couples do, right?โ€I didn't respond, unable to process what to say."Though I heard doctors say pregnant ladies must have sex freq

Lorenzo pulled out of her as she whimpered, grabbing both her legs and pulling her closer to himself roughly. He then raised one of her legs and placed it on top of his shoulder, still holding them so tightly so he would get that closure as his dick thrusted until her pussy, his nuts pressing against her ass as he went balls deep.He threw his neck backwards, groaning as he pulled out nice and slow, his dick dripping with her juices.He lowered his head, still holding her legs as his mouth came in contact with her pussy lips.She moaned, her hand grasping the sheets and clutching them as her eyes squeezed shut in pleasure.He paused again, making her beg for more. Her hands flew to his hair to bury his mouth into her flower.His tongue ran over her clit and it was evident that her body quivered, a hig

I was planning a perfect burial for her. At least if she didn't deserve anything in this world, she deserved a proper burial.She was a nice mother, literally the only friend I had. My best friend. My best companion.The arranged marriage she planned was the only thing that tore us apart as I was annoyed that she never informed me about it in the first place, but cutting her off was the biggest mistake I had ever made after realizing that she was only being my best friend, the best friend she had always been my whole life.She was only trying to protect me. Nothing else and nothing extra.My safety was a top priority and she didn't just ask anybody for help, I should have trusted her that the Brille twins were never hurting me or holding me captive for

I'll do anything, if that's what you're going to use to put me to the test,โ€ He uttered."Lorenzo, you can't wake up one morning and then claim to love someone you obviously used to not enjoy. You immediately changed after I said I was pregnant and it's weird because the same you, Lorenzo, told me that I was a gold digger who would claim to be pregnant by you, but now you're accepting the child and claiming to love me all of a sudden?โ€,โ€œIโ€™m sorry about that day. Also, I never said I wasn't going to accept the baby. Something just came over me, and I'm sorry,โ€ He apologized.I rolled

His brows creased as he stared at me in confusion, noticing that I was hiding something.I flashed him a smile and he forced a smile also, forcing himself to reciprocate.My heart thumped in my chest but I managed to keep a calm face.He approached me, stretching his hand to feel my forehead.He nodded, โ€œJust like the doctor said, you seem fine now. Luckily, you were not affected by the bomb blast. And you'll be discharged today, I spoke with him. You'll be discharged immediately,โ€ he announced.My eyes widened, โ€œReally?",He nodded, still smiling as he stared at me with a sparkling charm in his eyes, something that was never there since the day I had known him.I looked away, tearing my eyes

Realizing that I was still alive, I opened my eyes, looking everywhere, only to realize that the other end of the warehouse just erupted with a bomb blast.I coughed, my stomach clutching tightly with each cough as the smoke filled my lungs. I tried to stagger and pull myself up out of the place before the spreading fire would reach this side of the warehouse but my legs were weak and I couldn't even stand up since my hands were bound to each other.With each attempt, I fell to the floor again and again and again repeatedly.I groaned, giving in as my head slammed against the ground once more.

We should feed her something and change that extravagant dressโ€ The one behind me said."The leftover pizza?โ€ The other one responded then footsteps faded away behind me, giving me a hint that the one behind me went away.The other one squatted again, bringing out a dagger from his pocket, forcefully ripping the down part of my dress.I swallowed, watching him forcefully rip the heavy parts of the dress away.When he was done, I felt relieved, air having access to my legs.He flung the material before walking back to me, grabbing my hair and using it to pull my torso off the ground.I screamed, unable to use my hand to support myself to at least reduce the pain since they were tied together.My head pounded as I squeezed my eyes shut. โ€œStop!"

Or we'll blow off your head!โ€ The one by my side threatened.I nodded, my neck stiff before I then hummed in response.My heart kept throbbing in my chest as the pulse that banged in my head refused to stop.I swallowed occasionally until we arrived at somewhere I didn't recognize.
