Lavender's Point Of View: I heard whispers coming from outside the door and I could tell Charlie was speaking with someone. I didn't plan on checking who it was but when he was taking a long time to return, and his whispers began to turn into yells, curiosity got the better of me and I was prompted to check on what was going on. I opened the door slowly and went through the passage, following the voices. I got to a door where the sound seemed to come from, and pushed it open without second thoughts, stepping in slowly only to find Charlie in front of a blonde lady. My eyes traveled to Charlie but immediately returned to the lady after I realized who she was. Michelle! Well, well, well. If it isn't my best friend who betrayed me. If it isn't the devil herself. If It isn't the bitch who gave me sleepless nights. Her eyebrows raised as our eyes met briefly. She snapped her neck back to Charlie as if she couldn't care less. “Here it is." She said, placing an envelope on the bed. Charlie refused to say a word to her. He only walked towards me. I stepped back slowly, forcing a smile and raising my hand to keep distance between us. “I'm sorry for interrupting you, speak with her. I'm sorry." I apologized. He smiled before turning back to Michelle. "How is that possible?!" He raised his voice. Look at him go, completely ignoring my presence if not my existence. “You heard me, babe. I'm pregnant. Six freaking years of relationship and you finally let go of those bitches and stuck with me and you're yelling at me for a pregnancy I always hoped for?” She stated, earning a scoff from him. "You're nuts. Get out!" He shouted, throwing his arms in the air. “Who said I was planning to leave. I came over for you, Daddy.” She mouthed in a high pitched tone. I felt irritation punch me in the face. My breath got caught up in my throat as I still couldn't believe my ears. Wasn't this the same sharp witted Charlie a few minutes ago who told me he's been watching over me! Here he was, being vulnerable before Michelle. Is there a sort of spell casted on him or what?! I turned to leave, slamming the door loudly as I navigated my way to the stairs, descending as fast as my legs could. My hand pressed on the living room's door knob, twisting it quickly. “Lavender!" I heard Charlie's voice from up the stairs but who gives a shit anyway?! I slammed the door before he could get my name on his filthy lips again. Even after years, I chose to not move on but he's here, impregnating my best friend huh? I was really dumb, but I couldn't blame myself, I couldn't move on. I loved Charlie dearly! I moved towards the road, resisting the chilly breeze. I quickly stopped a taxi and asked the driver to take me to a hotel. We arrived at a small hotel and I managed to make it in without bursting into tears. I made sure to keep my head low as I went into the hotel, only to realize it wasn't a hotel but a crazy bar! Shit! I said a hotel not a bar! Well, either of them would do. I got myself a table and ordered a bottle of their hottest alcohol to at least burn down my anger and jealousy. I sank my ass there even when everyone was gone, my head panging at every shot I drowned in my throat. I could barely see, or even feel my face anymore. I was high, I could tell. Everything before my sight was all messed up, like my life lately. How could Charlie do this to me?! At least if he showed some respect for me before her, I wouldn't be jealous. He did it the other way round, leaving me by the corridor to show how valuable she is to him, getting into a stupid conversation with her as if I didn't exist That wasn't fair, I had him first! I liked him first! I fell first! He fell harder, or should I say he caught me from falling! Each time I remembered how Michelle used to be happy for me when Charlie and I became friends, my heart sank. Charlie's encounter with me was more than fate. It all started from a new hot guy in school who turned out to be a bully! He hated me, of all the girls in the school, and bullied me because he loved being dominant while I was adamant, refusing to let him control me, but other girls were controlled by his looks alone. We hated each other but not until his fellow bullies played a stupid trick on me that almost had me falling down the stairs of our highschool. I could have lost an arm, but the ‘bully’ came to save me swiftly. I fell first, he caught me, instead of falling harder. Ha....the alcohol was starting to take over but Charlie didn't get off my mind. Since he caught me, I saw his bright side and we began to get along so well. Only if I had known he used to screw every single girl at school. Charlie's sudden change was magical and I never knew a bully could be a great boyfriend. I also didn't know a bully could be such a bad ex. Only if I had the choice to change the past, I would have chosen to fall down the stairs than to fall into his arms. Losing an arm would be at least better than losing my heart. “Ma'am, you need to leave now." A bartender's voice interrupted my reverie. I groaned before managing to stagger out of the bar. A taxi soon stopped before me after I hailed. I dragged myself into the car and asked him to take me to the nearest hotel. “Sure. We will." I heard from the front seats. I immediately sobered up and my vision cleared immediately with shock etched in my face. Jayden? Hayden?! “Wh-what are you..?” I stuttered, the alcohol taking control again. "Surprise!! Happy to see us?" Jayden asked with a grin on his lips. My heart raced.005 Lavender's Point Of View: “What do you mean we had sex?!!" I screamed out my lung, grabbing my forehead as I clutched the sheets to my naked chest. “You did it willingly. Chill, wife." Jayden said slyly. I knew he'd be the one to reply. He was a jerk who didn't care what other people felt. He was a fucking jerk! “You bastard! How dare you?! What were you even thinking?! I'm your FAKE wife not your sex slave and that gives you no right to take advantage of me, are you sick in the balls?!”I yelled. "Quit yelling, bitch. Now fucking listen to me, our billion dollar won't go to waste. Besides, you willingly had sex with us, you forced yourself on us. We had everything recorded.” Jayden threatened. "Don't you fucking dare post that video!". Hayden just sat by the bed, staring at us arguing. I paced back and forth the room, digging my nails in my hair. I couldn't fathom it all. “Chill! Go take a shower and let's return home!" Jayden added. Chill?! How do you expect me to chil
006Lavender's Point Of View:“Take these files to the secretary, she knows just what to do.” Hayden commanded, his voice echoing dominance just like his brother's.I nodded, reluctantly taking the files from the table before turning to exit the office.I entered the elevator which took me to the ground floor where I gave the secretary the files before returning back into the elevator.I just wished the elevator would just get stuck for a few minutes and I would get the opportunity to at least rest or sit. I've been going back and forth since 8am and my legs were starting to get weak but the twins failed to notice it.Soon enough again, I was back on the third floor. I stepped out of the elevator, striding towards the office but just as my grasp tightened on the door knob, my phone rang in my breast pocket, stealing my attention.I fetched it, staring at the screen.LAURAIt was my personal assistant who was in charge of my company when I wasn't available.But she was more than just
001 Lavender's Point Of View: I stepped into the hall with a huge smile on my face as my beautiful white dress that I was forced to wear, kissed my curves nicely. It was my 23rd birthday and I was thrown this amazing party. Mum managed to prepare everything perfectly and honestly, I was impressed. The decorations, the grinning guests, the piano, everything! But something seemed off, everyone was seated at either side of the hall. I looked forward, only to realize I was the only one on a red carpet with three men waiting at the front of the hall. Two of the men who looked alike were dressed in black suits while one was dressed in a Wine suit. My eyes scrambled for nothing but Mum's face. I spotted her seated in a front seat with a forced smile on her face which secretly told me not to waver. My eyebrows furrowed as I mouthed, “What?". My grasp tightened on my dress, I walked down the red carpet, my legs shaking. The man in a wine coloured suit began, “Hayden and Ja
002 Lavender's Point Of View: “What do you mean by the god-damned meeting has been canceled?!" Jayden raised his voice. I lost my tongue, my gaze lowering immediately, “I-I'm sorry, but it isn't my fault that they don't want to collaborate with the company anymore." I responded in a silent whisper. "Bu-" He banged his hand on the desk, making me flinch. "How dare you question my query?!! That deal is worth a billion dollars, the amount that was used to buy you! And you stand here acting like you don't care! I can buy your god-damned Mother also with that money!" He yelled. My heart squeezed in my chest as I took in his words, swallowing hard on the lump in my throat. "I should have known you would bring nothing but doom upon this company! Aren't you supposed to be my wife?! A supportive wife! But you're only a curse. I so much regret spending that one billion dollar!! Using it for charity would have been better!". Yes, am I not supposed to be your wife? Why am I your maid
003 Lavender's Point Of View: Charlie squatted to take off my shoes for me. I immediately bent, gently taking his hands away from me. “Don't take them off, I'm leaving soon." I whispered. He let out a small laugh in a whisper before rising up, his enigmatic eyes lighting up in the dimly lit room. “Oh. No, you don't have to actually. You obviously have nowhere to go.” He reminded me. Right! I had nowhere to go since I didn't want to stay with mum. But I would rather sleep in a hotel than stay here at Charlie's house. I didn't want our past history repeating itself again. I immediately shook my head vigorously, “N-no. I'll stay at a hotel. You shouldn't bother anyway." I said, forcing a smile as I looked back, reaching for my phone. “You don't…. have to…. I promise nothing will happen to you. I know you're bothered about our past but I feel like we should leave the past in the past and move on. I'm only trying to help you, Lavender.”. I forced a smile, humming as I no
