001 Lavender. I glanced at myself in the mirror before me as a small smile crept on my lips, confidence spreading in me like wildfire. I never knew beauty also boosts confidence until this moment. I tilted slightly for the makeover lady to carve my brow just like the other one. Deep inside my confidence, uneasiness lingered, throbbing at a corner of my mind. I couldn't seem to stop wondering what all this fuss was all about. All my life, I have never attempted applying this much makeover but today, my own mother persuaded me to do it as if today wasn't like any of my other birthdays. “All done!” The lady squealed, sleeking my hair back tenderly. She soon stepped forward to strap my heels on for me as I pulled my dress up for her to reach my legs. As soon as she was done, my legs felt firm and comfortable in the white heels with silver pearls on the delicate straps. The straps hugged my legs, defining the elegant curves of my ankle as the silver color of the pearls compleme
002 Lavender. “What are you fucking saying to me?! That you sold me to the twins for a billion dollars?!” 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. “Don’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,” Aunt Kathy said, standing from the chair and pulling Mom back to defend her. “Aunt 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!” I retorted, feeling rage swell in me and I could tell it would explode soon “How dare you say such a thing to me! I didn't te
003 Lavender. "What?” 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. “Miss Brille, it's time to leave,” 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. “Happy to hear me lose our last name?” 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. “Are 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. “Sorry, I have to take this," I said to the twins before grabbing my phone and swiping up the green icon. “Hey," I said, bringing the phone to my ear. “Hey," Julianna responded and I could hear what sounded like fear and tension lurking in her voice. “W-what's wrong? Is everything alright?" I asked, worry etched on my face as my lips slightly curved downwards. “Come 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. “Julie, what's going on?!" I shouted. “Your Mom," she said, her voice barely above a whisper. “What happened to
006 Lavender. “I'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,”. I shook my head. "Important than her sister?”. "Our kids, they stay at a boarding school so the person in charge of the school called, asking her to come urgently,”. I pressed my lips into a thin line. "Oh…. Alright then. I hope everything goes-". “Hey, babe! Did you forget to get the toothpaste on your way-”. 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. “Hey! 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!” 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.“Your Mom. She's a monster. Your mother is a monster. I'll tell you that if you're unaware.”.I swallowed, my heart jumping to my throat as I felt my vision blur with rage.“How dare you say that about your sister?! Know your fucking limit. Was that why you sent men to attack her?! Is that the reason?!!” 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
033Sandra.†_†_†_†FLASHBACK CONTINUES†_†_†_†“You're three weeks pregnant, miss." The doctor announced, grinning ear to ear.My eyes widened. Three weeks pregnant?!!Didn't the man from three weeks ago make use of a condom at least?!No, no, no. This can't be.I can't be pregnant! And I couldn't abort it. Even though I was an orphan, I was never raised to do abortions. To me, it wasn't just a sin but doesn't make sense unless the reason is really good enough for an excuse, but I had no excuse!What excuse did I have to give? The fact that I was reckless and it was an accident didn't mean that I could abort it.I didn't see this coming and I didn't expect it.The doctor placed the papers on the table and I picked it, scheming through it to at least find proof that he was playing with me and I wasn't actually pregnant.But it turns out this was no joke. It was in fact the truth.I wasn't living with my mom's friend anymore so definitely, I wouldn't get killed, that was certain. I was l
032🚩🚩NOTE THAT THIS CHAPTER IS A NEW CHARACTER'S POINT OF VIEW!🚩🚩Sandra.I settled on the bed, looking at the room and still amazed after four hours of being there. It looked so luxurious, like a room designed for a god.I was scared to stand up as I was scared to see the stain my clothes made on the bedsheets. I knew I didn't fit into the room, but they put me there anyway to accommodate me.I waited patiently, eager to meet my daughter after a whole twenty-one years. Each day I lived, it felt like there was a missing piece of me.They said I would get over it in months, but I never did. Not in five years, not in ten years, not in fifteen years, not in twenty years, not in twenty-one years.I wanted my daughter. Though I might not be rich enough to take care of her, being with her would be all I needed to have a good night rest for once in twenty one years.I couldn't wait to see how much she's grown.It was disturbing to have a piece of you somewhere you can't reach.I wouldn'
031Lavender.His eyes interlocked with mine and his voice came out plain, lacking essential emotions. “Your mother isn't dead, Lavender.”My eyes widened. “Mom isn't dead?" I asked, raising my voice.Jayden smirked, stepping back, away from me. “Oh, look who cares now, I thought you didn't come here to exchange words with me.” He taunted me, overstepping his boundaries as he tried to play games with me.“Jayden, don't you dare." I spat, my teeth grinding as I got off the table, stepping closer to him with my index finger shot out and pointing right at his face.“Don't you fucking dare play games with me. What did you just say about my mother?!” I added, closing the distance between us.He remained solid, unwavering as his eyes pinned mine.“And what if I play games with you, Lavender? Just what if?" He taunted me again, his arms crossed."Jayden.” I groaned with my teeth grinding."Lavender," he chuckled, his voice dominating the whole office. “So, are you going to see your mother ag
030Lorenzo.Lavender left the car so I waited patiently for her to return. I rolled up the window, making myself comfortable.I then spotted a lady selling some iced colored water at the other side of the road.I rolled down the window, gesturing for her to bring me one of them. She did immediately and I handed some cash to her, telling her to keep the change.As I sipped the water, I let out a sigh occasionally at the chill the way it glided down my throat.It came with a little orange flavor to flow with the orange coloring.I placed it down in the center console, sighing as I pressed the seat back to relax.Just as I started to feel comfortable, I heard a knock on the window.I never expected Lavender to be back so quickly. Just as I was about to open the door for her to come in, I noticed it wasn't her. It was her personal assistant who came to our wedding to inform Lavender about her mother's health.She flashed me a smile, waving her hand so I opened the door for her to get in.
029Lavender.“You're coming, like right now?" She asked.I hummed, “Yeah, bye." I blurted out before ending the call.I turned to Lorenzo. “Lorenzo, 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.”“Alright. You have some directions, right?” He asked.I nodded. “Of course, I know the address of my company. I'll have a taxi take me there.”“Just direct me, I'll take you.”,I chuckled. "It's about a ten minute ride from here. And look, we've almost arrived at your company. I can see it right there. Just drop me.” I said, pointing at the company ahead.He shook his head. “It'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
028Lavender.“I thought I already told you that not everyone rich is interested in an extravagant lifestyle, right?”"I don't get it, why lower your standards then?" I scoffed, "Talking about standards, let's not talk about who slept with another lady when he has a WIFE,” I taunted him.He grinned as we both got in the car. "I already apologized, wife."I rolled my eyes. “As if that's enough. Just tell me what the hell pushed you into doing it? Let me guess, you were drunk again?”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.”I gasped, "So you agree to the contract marriage stuff now?"He nodded, “I'm only going with your words and respecting your choice. That's what couples do, right?”I didn't respond, unable to process what to say."Though I heard doctors say pregnant ladies must have sex freq
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
026Lavender.He gave in and in the next few days, we were working towards gathering enough information about my family's empire.On the other hand, I went to see my mother's corpse, though I wasn't allowed to look at her long enough. 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
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
