Lavinia slipped through the door behind him before he could close it in her face. "Hey, hold up a sec there, Robert," she said with hands on her hips. "We need to have a little chat about what's going on with you and Talia." Robert sank down on the edge of his bed and cradled his head. "I already know what you're going to say, Lavinia," he mumbled, not looking up at her. "And you're right - I never should have said that vile, disgusting thing to her. It was just...a moment of blind anger and idiocy. I swear, I didn't truly mean it." Lavinia's expression softened slightly at his obvious remorse, yet she remained firm. "Well, regardless of whether you meant it or not, the damage is done," she pointed out, crossing the room to sit beside him. "Talia is absolutely devastated because of what you said to her. She's locked herself away, crying her eyes out over it." Robert flinched, feeling another pang of guilt and self-loathing twist in his gut like a dull knife. He dro

~The next morning~The Carlon family gathered around the dining table with uncharacteristic silence hanging heavy in the air. They picked at their food, making small talk in hushed tones every now and then, as if afraid to disturb the strange tension blanketing the room."Is Talia still sleeping? I didn't see her come down yet." Martin calmly asked as he placed his coffee on the table. Lavinia shook her head. "Yeah, she asked me not to wake her this morning. Said she was feeling really drained and needed to rest up a bit more."A flicker of concern passed over Martin's features at that. But he said nothing. "Listen, there's...there's something else I need to tell you all," Lavinia began, "It's about Karl and me. He signed the divorce papers. All I need to do is sign them myself and then we can get the proceedings started."A stunned silence fell over the table. Four pairs of eyes swiveled to stare at Lavinia with mixed expressions. "Damn, sis...you're serious?" Suga asked,

"We're here to make you pay for your crimes."Karl scoffed derisively. He opened his mouth to respond but was cut off by a powerful blow to the jaw from Martin's fist. He recoiled, tasting blood, only to be struck again from the other side by Suga."That's for all the tears Lavinia cried because of you," Martin growled, flexing his hand."And that's for the trauma and terror you put her through, you sick bastard," Suga spat, his chest heaving.They rounded Karl until he was weakened beyond belief. By the time Robert stepped forward, Karl was doubled over and struggling to remain upright. The youngest Carlon brother seized a fistful of Karl's hair, wrenching his head back with a snarl. "And this..." Robert swung his free hand back and delivered a brutal knee straight to Karl's groin, "...Is for raping my sister, you piece of human garbage." The soundproofed walls swallowed Karl's agonized scream as he collapsed into a heap on the floor, clutching his violated body. However,

Lavinia stood outside the familiar towering building, mustering up the courage to enter. After a long internal struggle, she finally made her way inside and approached the help desk. "Good evening!" she greeted the receptionist with a gentle smile. "Mrs. Sulivan, it's been a while since you've visited our company, " the assistant responded in kind. "Yes, it has. I was hoping to catch Karl before he left for the day. Is he still in his office?” Lavinia asked hopefully. The assistant shook her head. “I'm afraid not, Mrs. Sullivan. Mr. Sullivan has already left for home.”“Oh, I see,” Lavinia murmured, confused. “Could you please provide me with his current home address? I'm aware he's moved, but I don't have his new address.”The assistant gave her a puzzled look. How could the boss’ own wife not know his address? “Of course, let me write that down for you.” She quickly jotted down the address on a piece of paper and handed it to Lavinia. “Here you go, Mrs. Sullivan.”"Than

"All done," Lavinia announced after tending to the last of his wounds. She quickly busied herself with packing up the supplies to avoid his burning gaze. When she finally looked up at him again, Karl's eyes were roving shamelessly over her body in a way that made her cheeks flush anew.Lavinia cleared her throat loudly while she pulled out the file from her bag - the whole reason she had come over in the first place. "I'm ready to start the procedures now," she said firmly, holding out the folder towards him.Karl sighed heavily and nodded, reaching out to take the file from her outstretched hand. Instead of opening it, he simply ripped it in half right in front of her, causing Lavinia's eyes to go wide with shock."Why did you do that?" She demanded angrily, snatching the torn halves from his hands.Rather than answer, he stood up stiffly, wincing at the pain shooting through his body and walked away towards the kitchen. "Karl! Answer me!" Lavinia called after him, hurrying

The warm afternoon sun cast a lazy glow over the Carlon family's backyard as Lavinia and Talia lounged on the patio, sipping lemonade and enjoying the gentle breeze.They idled away, talking about Talia's latest N*****x fixation, the absurd gas prices these days, and other such topics.Lavinia could no longer contain the words bubbling up inside her. She set her glass down with a sharp clink and blurted out, "He wants one last chance to make things right."Talia's brows shot up. Her lips pursed around the straw trapped between them as she turned to regard her cousin with surprise and curiosity."He as in...Karl?" she asked once she'd swallowed her mouthful of lemonade.When Lavinia gave a small nod of confirmation, Talia's frown deepened. "Huh, well you certainly don't look too torn up about it. Don't tell me the divorce is off the table?"Lavinia sighed, slumping back against the cushions with a troubled expression.One hand drifted up to toy absently with the ends of her hair as she

Lavinia requested for the Carlon family to get together in the sitting room the following morning except their mother who insisted on staying in bed a little longer.Talia wasn't present either. It was just the men and Lavinia.She had news for them... News that would likely upset most of them.Lavinia's father sat across from her in his usual overstuffed armchair, his expression impassive but his eyes sharp and assessing.Robert and Martin had their arms crossed, looking like someone just taken their favorite toys away.Suga was shooting her glares every few seconds like he was trying to set her on fire with his mind.Lavinia twisted her hands in her lap, struggling to find the right words to drop this bombshell.Finally, her dad cleared his throat loudly. "Well, Lavinia?" he prompted. "I think we're all quite curious to hear this...news you apparently have to share with us. Though I suspect I can probably hazard a guess as to what it might concern."Lavinia felt her cheeks warming d

Suga’s hand shot out, catching Karl in the chest and shoving him backward firmly."Back the hell off!" Suga snarled, his eyes glittering with undisguised hostility.Karl blinked in shock, his smile faltering as he took in the unwelcome sight of Lavinia's whole family crowding the doorway - Suga, Martin, Robert, and even her father all watching him with matching looks of distrust and anger."What's going on?" Karl started to ask."Can it, Sulivan.” Suga cut him off with an impatient wave of his hand. “We need to have a little chat about my sister before we even think about leaving her alone with a piece of work like you again." Suga's voice was seething with rage. He had never wanted his sister to marry Karl, but he didn't have a choice.The insult hit its mark. Karl's face flushed with indignation. He opened his mouth to protest but seemed to think better of it as he eyed the wall of Carlon men blocking the doorway.Instead, he simply stepped back while bottling his irritati

As the door clicked shut behind the Carlon family, Karl immediately pulled Lavinia into a tight embrace, burying his face in her hair. He breathed in her familiar scent - a comforting blend of vanilla and something distinctly hers."We're finally alone," he murmured in a voice thick with emotion. Then he pulled back just enough to look into her eyes with a nervous blush coloring his cheeks. "Can I get you anything? Some tea perhaps? I know you're not much of a coffee drinker these days."Lavinia met his gaze evenly, her expression unreadable. "Tea would be nice," she replied in a tone clipped but not unkind.Karl nodded quickly, relieved to have something to do with his hands. "Of course, one tea coming right up."As he bustled into the kitchen, Lavinia settled on the plush living room sofa, idly scrolling through her phone. "Are you alone with Karl now?" A text from Rosie popped up on the screen.Lavinia's fingers hovered over the keyboard for a moment before tapping out a r

"How did you know I got over my illness? You backed out of the divorce because you knew, right?" Lavinia asked, her voice strained. Her hands were clenched together with tense energy, and her eyes darted nervously from Karl's face to the ground and back again.Karl reached out and gently encircled her stiff palms with his fingers, trying to get her to meet his gaze. "Yes, I retracted the divorce as soon as I knew you'd overcome your illness. Julia helped me understand," he admitted, holding her stare steadily."Julia! Do you know her?" Lavinia's eyebrows arched in disbelief as she searched his face for answers."Yes, I know her. Julia is my...friend." Karl paused, offering her an apologetic look. "I deliberately sent you to her so I could stay informed about your progress."Lavinia's surprise grew. "So you're the reason Dr. Peter was so nervous that day! Did you...threaten him or something?" Her voice rose with incredulity.Karl offered a sheepish grin, scratching the back of his head
