Lavender.

"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

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

    024Lavender.'YOU HAVE JUST FOUR MONTHS LEFT TO BRING THE FLASHDRIVE’.My heart skipped as I already knew who dropped the note without having to overthink it. I swallowed, my breath stuck.Just then, the door slammed and I jolted, immediately hiding the paper.My gaze traveled to meet Lorenzo's. 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, “Just 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,” he announced.My eyes widened, “Really?",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

    025Lavender.“I need help, Lorenzo," I said.He moved the glass away from his lips, placing it down on the table as he stretched his hand across to hold mine.I flinched, but then I allowed him to take my hand in his.“I need your help," I added, swallowing as I didn't even know where to start from that wouldn't make him suspect that I already knew more than I was supposed to know about him.“With what? I'll do anything, if that's what you're going to use to put me to the test,” 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?”,“I’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,” He apologized.I rolled

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

    027Lavender.My eyes remained planted on the screen, my grip tightening on the phone as I swallowed, watching the video.The moans were so loud and cringe but it conveyed the pleasure. 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

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

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

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.

    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

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

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
