016Lavender.I swallowed, picking the file and clutching it with the schedule book before raising my body back up to move on walking but looking at Mr. D'Amor at the front, walking away without even noticing I wasn't walking with him anymore, I just couldn't.I halted, unable to process what was going on. My head was blank at the moment.What the hell did I just see? A contract marriage?No, it can't be. It has to be a joke.Or probably he gave me the wrong file. I clenched my fist, taking a deep breath before moving on, following behind him slowly but keeping some distance between us.We arrived at the empty boardroom and I sat right beside him, waiting for the other staff to arrive as it was a meeting between the important employees of the company to discuss something important.My fingers dug into my hair, I sat there beside him, the atmosphere tense and heavy with awkwardness. I tried my best to pretend as if everything was just fine and I didn't see the contract marriage, but I

017Lavender."So, will you marry me?” He said, his lips curving into a sly smile that made my heart jump.I just couldn't believe this.He knew. He knew what he was doing. He knew about the contract marriage file and it was indeed for me.He knew it fell from my hand. He knew I saw it. He knew everything! He knew!! He was only pretending to be oblivious, or maybe he wasn't actually.I gulped, my heartbeat stiffening as my stomach twisted. I was unable to think straight and collect my thoughts, but why? Was it because I didn't see this coming? I actually did, but why was I shocked? Why was I feeling this way? Why was I overthinking this anyway? Just why?!I stripped my eyes away from his, throwing my face away as I squeezed my eyes shut, letting out a sigh, my breath shaky and hot.“Why are you doing this?” I asked, my voice lower than a whisper with my eyes still shut.“Why am I doing what?” He asked, his voice still firm.I turned to him again, fixing my eyes on his. “Why are you do

018Lavender.I let out a sigh, my shoulders lowering as my chest heaved. I swallowed, my palm sweaty in the lacey glove as I gripped the soft material of the wedding dress.The dress cascaded down my body, flowing from my waist down. My knees were slightly shivering as I gulped repeatedly, unable to believe I would be getting married to my own boss soon.My ginger hair was let down to flow down my back to match the color of the light brown contact lense in my eyes.I forced a smile, my pink lips contrasting the color of my white teeth as my lips spread ear to ear.My feet were quivering in the high heels, but I managed to contain all the nervousness as I looked at my boss on the other side of the event space, waiting for me beside the officiant.Lorenzo stared at me with no emotion on his face, making it impossible to decipher how he felt about this.He didn't even bother to force a smile like a normal groom would. He only focused on my eyes while my eyes occasionally darted to the

019Lavender."Your Mom is dead.” She said, her voice barely above a whisper as she burst into tears.I thought I didn't process the words correctly so I tried asking her to repeat herself again, but by then, my hand began to quiver, my grip loosening on the phone that immediately slipped out of my grasp.I had already processed it.My phone smashed on the floor, my hand still shaking as I balled my fist.My breath became hitched, each inhale becoming shorter, sharper, faster and louder as my heart began to thrum in my ribcage.I swallowed, the flesh of my neck caving in as I gasped for breath, trying to stabilize myself. I held my chest, my hand shaking as I just couldn't believe what I just heard was right. The heartbreak was just too defeating.There was no way it was true, no possible way.I thought about her words again, my lips parting as I decided to yell out the pain but what came out was a miserable whimper that got stuck in the middle of my throat, unable to force itself out

020Lavender."Get in!” He commanded.I rolled my eyes, throwing my face away. He could take his car and give himself a ride but I didn't care.I kept walking off but he kept following me with the car.“Stop following me!" I shouted, turning to face him.He didn't say a word, he only gestured for me to get in.“I'll take a taxi or something, just mind your business. I don't need your ride." I groaned, returning my face to the front then I hailed a taxi.I stepped forward, ignoring his car before pulling the door open as I stepped into the taxi. I slammed the door.“Where to, ma'am?" The driver asked.“uhmm," I mumbled, remembering that I forgot to pick my phone back there. “Dang in!" I cursed, trying to remember the name of the hospital. “I think it's HL hospital. Yeah, HL hospital.”.He nodded, his grip tightening on the wheels, his knuckles white as he began to drive. He drove past Lorenzo's car and off we went.Though he was a bit too slow for me, I patiently waited. The car finall

021Lavender.“Open the fucking door!" He commanded, his voice serious as his grip tightened, restraining my airflow.My hand quickly flew to unlock the car's door as fear gripped me. The car unlocked then the man by Julie's side pulled her out, shoving her on the floor as he got into the driver's seat.The other one got into the backseat, pressing a cold pistol against my head from behind.I swallowed, stiff and unable to make a sound as I knew anything I did could open heaven's gates for me.“Good girl, keep quiet until we get there, okay? Or we'll blow off your head!” 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. The place looked like a open abandoned warehouse in a silent street. The doors of the car opened then slammed shut before one if them came to open the door for me, usin

022Lavender.The other one walked behind me, grabbing my hands to the back and I felt him bind them together with a rope. I didn't even bother fighting back, I just laid there like a dummy.“She seems tired and hot. We should feed her something and change that extravagant dress” The one behind me said."The leftover pizza?” 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. “Stop!" I screamed, hot tears slippin

023Lavender.'POW!’ The gunshot filled the air and darkness kissed me immediately as my eyes squeezed shut.I flinched, my body slamming against the cold ground with my head pounding hard from the slam.Just then, I felt the ground beneath me vibrate and I began to cough. 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. I looked ahead of me, watching the smoke and flying debris dance in the air with the lights from outside the warehouse manag

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.“Leave," I gestured.They remained immobile, waiting for Charlie's command.I rolled my eyes. “Tell 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.“Don't come any closer," he commanded, his voice etched with dominance.I cleared my throat, resting back on the chair. “So, about the perfect scheme,”“I'm listening,”"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 assignment– 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

041Lavender.“I can't believe the baby isn't mine. Are you kidding me?!” He raised his voice, slamming the door behind us.My brows furrowed and I immediately turned to look at him. “What 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!” 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.”"I understand,” 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'm sorry I didn't come out clean in the first place, but the deed has been done and you should understand that and just let this slide. Can we change the Father?”"You just know I'm not caring for a woman who's

I could see the hurt in his eyes. He heard what I said.“Lorenzo," 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.“I can explain," I uttered, pleading for a chance to just be heard. I was only hoping he would listen.“Explain what?" He roared, his voice busting out all of a sudden.I jolted, swallowing hard on my saliva. “What you heard. I'm sorry. It's not what you think. Let me explain.”"Oh, you mean what I heard that the baby isn't mine, right?” He asked sarcastically.I nodded.He scoffed. “Yeah, alright. But I never asked for an explanation. Would you just let me pass and speak with him or would you love to be stuck with him forever?”“I'm so

039Lavender.My eyes fluttered open and I looked around, finding myself in a brightly lit room.I was laid on a cold surface and as soon as I spotted a huge chandelier above, I need not be told that I was on the floor.I squealed in fear, sitting upright as I shifted myself, pressing my back against a sofa.The living room was luxurious and looked accommodating enough, but I didn't know where I was which made everything even worse.I swallowed, looking in front of me, directly at the turned off TV. 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

038Jayden.“So that we can bring in a new project, we should end the ongoing one. Hayden said, his voice firm as he sat at the other end of the table, looking directly at me with such a normal expression on his face.Hayden took the company more seriously than he took ours, planning everything as if he was the founder of the company from scratch, the same company that was hijacked by us from Lavender. He studied the projects more and attended meeting more regularly as if his life depended on it, something he would never do for our own company.I smirked, “We have three ongoing projects at the company currently.”“I hope you're aware that we will have to end the ongoing project.”"I didn't lose track of time, the project will be ending soon which is why I thought we should bring another one in.”"Forget it now, it's my company, not yours afternoon.”My eyes narrowed as I leaned back in the chair, crossing my arms as I let out a sigh. Hayden sat across the table, his gaze fixed on my

037Lavender."Am I truly not the Father of the baby?" He asked the question that I have been asking myself continuously without being sure of the answer, but my guts told me it was Charlie who owns the child. I just could tell that it was Charlie, I could feel it, but I just had to push the child on Lorenzo anyway.I couldn't have a child without a Father, that would indeed be a nightmare. Even if the contract marriage between Lorenzo and I hadn't ended by then, he would treat the child like trash if he realized that the child wasn't his.And if the contract marriage has ended, there's no way I would have a child without a father so the child was only like a leverage to keep this loveless marriage going until I found the actual love of my life.But why was he asking this out of the blue? He couldn't just ask such a random question especially when he actually didn't catch me having sex with someone, or especially when he knew I was single as hell.It was either he knew the truth, or

037Lavender.Just how could she even consider accepting such stupid terms? Why did she do it? Just to connect back with her daughter?I understood that she missed me, but there are other ways she could have found me. There are.Now that she did everything the wrong way, neither did she get her dear daughter back, nor will she fulfill the promise she made to the mafia Don.I thought she was a nice woman who loves her daughter dearly when she started to explain everything to me, detail by detail, I never knew I was mistaken.She wasn't actually the best mother I thought she would be. She was selfish, and I knew if I agreed to accept her as my mother and be with her as mother and daughter, she would eventually trade my happiness for something else.She tried to claim that my happiness was at stake and all so I needed to end the marriage.I thought she cared, but the truth was actually that she never cared the smallest bit, she only wanted me to divorce Lorenzo because that way, I would

She chuckled, gesturing for me to come in.“You'll be fine.” She whispered.I knew I needed this even though I was scared. I knew Claire had connections to the dark world which was why I asked her in the first place to help me.Claire was a mafia, a notorious one. Not a very notorious mafia, but quite notorious. Like a lower ranked mafia.They had a mafia Don who she told me about a lot. He was dangerous from what she told me and he could do whatever he wanted to. He could get what he wanted without having to move an inch. He was a man of his words, a man ruling in his own world, so he wouldn't trespass, he would ensure to drag you into his world and defeat you there but that doesn't mean he couldn't still defeat you in your own world.Even the thought of him was enough to make me quiver.I swallowed, entering the room with
