Sandra.

“You're married?" I asked, grinning with tears blurring my vision.

If I was to expect a lot of things, I never expected that Lavender, my own little daughter that time, would be married now. I knew she had gotten to the age of getting married, but I just didn't expect it. It gave me a particular happy feeling that I couldn't just explain.

“Yes, I am." She smiled, nodding as she flaunted her finger. Her smile was evidently fake, but I couldn't decipher what exactly the problem was.

“What's wrong?" I asked, placing a hand on her shoulder.

She raised her eyebrows, glancing at me. “What?" She asked.

“You seem unhappy. Is the marriage not working out?” I asked again.

“What do you mean?" She tried to laugh it off, but for as long as I have known myself, I could tell fake expressions at some moments.

“You seem suddenly unhappy after I mentioned your marriage. Is everything fine?”

She blinked, going stiff for a while without dropping a response. Then, she nodded gently, almost un

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

    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

    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

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.

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

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
