Lavender:

They had thrown me in the car and covered my eyes. The blindfold, along with all the other restraints, made me feel lifeless. On top of that, they had headphones over my head with loud metallic music playing.

I didn’t like loud noises—they triggered me. But I had to remind myself that I was in a situation where I couldn’t get any anxiety medicine or even a breath of fresh air.

I was probably going to die tonight. That car ride was strange. I felt the car moving, but other than that, I had no idea what was happening or where I was being taken.

I felt myself being carried again, and this time, I was thrown into something hard and cold. The moment they took the blindfold off, I realized where I was.

I was lying in a tiny boat. My heart started skipping beat after beat, wondering what would happen next.

Would I die from starvation here?

My hands, feet, and mouth were still tied. I couldn’t do much except lie there, trying not to move too much and flip the boat over. I kept stari

    Lavender:"Sir, if you need anything, let me know," I said in a calm voice, while the sound of waves still echoed in my ears.I wasn't able to sleep last night. Lying down with my head on the pillow didn’t help with the noise I could feel deep in my ears while lying on the boat.I didn’t stay behind for breakfast with "family."I didn’t complain to my mother either. She wouldn’t listen, and besides, Mr. Volkov had been glued to her like they’d been married for years."No, I just want you out of here so I can rest," the old man hissed, coughing as he waved me off.I gave him a nod, my smile still on my face, and walked out. My hands were folded under my stomach and my uniform was neatly pressed.Once I stepped out of his fancy bedroom, I sighed and dropped the fake smile."They should’ve let the old one stay behind," I heard a man in a suit say on his phone as he walked past me toward the room. I realized he was talking about me."The young one’s got such a tight ass on her."My body f

    Lavender:"When he’s alone but there are too many caretakers around, that’s when you inject him with this. Use gloves, don’t touch anything, and don’t be seen around him that day. If you can, have someone else hold the needle for fingerprints. He’ll die slowly,” Nikon explained again, trying to teach me how to become like them.I listened quietly, keeping calm and not lashing out before the time was right.Once they were done talking, they waited for me to respond. Igor leaned his back against the wall while Nikon narrowed his eyes at me.“No!” I said, and noticed Nikon’s eyebrow raise.“There’s no way I’m killing anyone,” I stated, loudly and clearly.The look on their faces terrified me, but I couldn’t do it. I couldn’t kill someone.“There you go, such an ungrateful brat,” Igor muttered under his breath, tapping his phone against his palm.Nikon’s lips pressed into a thin line before he sighed. “You know, she’s killed someone before. But now she wants to act all empathetic.”Nikon’

    Lavender:"Help! Somebody, please help me!" I screamed while running away from it. However, soon I realized it had caught up to me, so I stopped and turned around to swing my arm. With that, I tossed the coyote a little further away to get a head start.I began to run like crazy, not knowing the woods at all.The cold wind was blocking my nose. And since I woke up in such a panic, I felt like half of my brain was still asleep.I don't know how long I ran, but I stopped to catch my breath when I saw the woods end. Before me was a giant road. It felt like victory. Wheezing like a desperate kitten, I ran toward the road. The moon had cast such a light upon it that the atmosphere made it even scarier.But it wasn't long before my senses picked up on the vibe, and my sight landed on a car parked in the middle of the road, horizontally, with a man in a black suit standing in front of it.He leaned casually against the car, one hand in his pocket, and the other holding a cigar.It was none o

    Lavender:I stood behind the couches, keeping my spine straight as the brothers sat down. My eyes briefly moved to Easton, who wore a gray shirt, his hair messy, and his handsomeness filling the living room. I had to shake myself out of such thoughts and looked around to make sure nobody had seen me watching him.Then my eyes landed on Nikon, who had a weird, distasteful look on his face. A very mild smirk appeared on his lips. He seemed almost proud of himself. And then there was Igor, least interested, with his leg over the other, shaking it nonchalantly.Mister Volkob sat right next to my mother, holding her hand happily. And then there were my sisters, who had no clue why they were sitting in the living room. But I knew what was going on.Soon, the news was going to play on the TV. The rich family was supposed to sign off a piece of their expensive land for charity. However, there was a twist. A twist created by Nikon.The grandfather was going to be announced dead today, which wo

    Nikon:When I watched her stand behind the couch and stare at the TV, I felt like I could burn her alive. The anger I felt toward a woman for the first time like that was unimaginable. I don’t think I can ever hate another woman so much.Lavender!She was nothing like her name.This girl was so meticulously cunning that she had me fooled. She must have switched the poison with medicine. And she made sure she didn’t deny it because then I would have gotten it done through other means.That irked me, and I lost control. Easton didn’t care; he was too busy with his phone. But Igor had warned me about being wary of this girl. She was not as timid and naive; she was fragile, yes! But fierce.That’s when I had to teach her a lesson. I grabbed her by the hair, put my hands on a woman for the first time, and dragged her away to the attic. But she didn’t apologize or beg for my forgiveness.She was so defiant that she looked me in the eye and said what nobody—not even my family—could ever dare

    Lavender:That fall took a lot from me. I found myself in the hospital bed with multiple injuries and crutches.“Mom,” my lips forced a smile at the sight of her beside my bed. Every inch of my body hurt when I tried to move, but I had to show her my smile to let her know how happy I was to see her next to me.“Mom—,” I said her name again, and she finally noticed me. She lifted her head from her phone and scoffed, almost rolling her eyes.“I’m so glad you woke up,” she said coldly. Maybe I was high on pain meds, but I expected her to be all dramatic about me waking up.I thought she would come rushing in, trying to kiss my forehead while her eyes filled with tears.“Lavender, what am I going to do with you?” she sighed, shaking her head in disbelief. The way she acted confused me. Was she not happy that I woke up?The fact that I had to pay so much attention to my mother’s expressions just to figure out if she cared enough made me feel sorry for myself sometimes.“Eh! I’m not dead?”

    Lavender:I had been sent back to my uncle’s place after Igor told me I was spared.Whatever the heck that meant.I was honestly confused that Nikon—that control freak—actually let me go.But whatever it was, I was just glad to be out of that manor. It gave me so much anxiety and, not to mention, almost cost me my life.Igor didn’t say anything else to me and just left the room. Later, I got discharged, and a car was already waiting for me. I was driven back to my uncle’s place, traveling by ferry to the small island next to Isola Vira.When I finally reached Brisa, I felt relieved.The nightmare was finally over.All it took was for me to fall out of a window, and just like that, Nikon set me free.I sat on the edge of the bed, crutches leaning against the wall, the pressure in my leg throbbing with every movement.The house was still just two rooms, a cramped kitchen, two bathrooms that smelled faintly of mildew, and a living room with that same old TV—dusty, humming low, the antenn

    Lavender:It had been another two weeks since I started living with my uncle. And it was just like I remembered it. I didn’t understand why there was a rule in both tense islands of Italy that I couldn’t move out until I turned twenty. It didn’t make sense. If only I could ever leave Brisa, I would start over somewhere and live happily. But it was only one year, and I had promised my mother I would take care of her. I had. Now she was with a much richer man.“Ugh, I don’t even know if she’ll be safer there,” I muttered, feeling bad as she didn’t answer my calls. She hadn’t returned any of my calls ever since I came here. It was as if she had finally moved on from me.“Are you going to cling to these things forever?” Uncle Ron could be insensitive at times. And by "at times," I mean whenever he gets a chance.“I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was up to me to decide when I should stop using them,” I teased, watching his face go dark.“Then at least do some work from home.

    Lavender:I had come downstairs and sat in the passenger seat of his car, just like he had asked me to, while he was still inside. I was worried someone would see me in his car before he arrived, and it would be another mess.After a while, I watched him come outside in a gray shirt and hop into the driver’s seat.He started the car and drove us to the same abandoned building as before. The minute he parked the car, he unbuckled his seatbelt and then leaned over to do the same for mine.His scent was so strong, his cologne amazing. But I was still reminded of the way he had slept with the other girls the same day.However, once the seatbelt was off, I found him holding my waist to help me out, probably intending for me to sit on his lap.That’s when I realized he was going for a steamy session.“Wait,” I steadily placed my hands on his hands to free my waist. He stopped and set me free, leaning back in his chair, looking so confused as to why I did that.“You gotta tell me what’s goin

    Lavender:“You are a fucking liar,” I hissed.I was breathing heavily, losing my mind. My body was shivering so badly that I didn’t know what to do to calm myself down.Reading his text gave me so much anxiety, and instantly, I remembered the words spoken to me by his own brother.Igor!He was right.Easton is a good actor.He had me in the chokehold of his love, and I believed it all.I had my hand on my forehead when I received another text from Easton.E-Tron: Are we meeting today? I’m really excited to see you.I groaned, clenching my fists.My hand flew to my chest as tears started spilling down my face even more. It wasn’t easy at all for me to settle it in my mind that yet another person in my life had played me.E-Tron: What happened? Where did you go? I want to know what time we can meet so I can make reservations for usI was gritting my teeth hard. Reading his text felt like he was reaching through the screen and slapping me hard.I started typing hysterically, writing what

    Lavender:I fixed my hair one last time before I was satisfied with how I looked. It was a huge day for me. I was going to meet Easton. I wasn’t sure how he would respond to us being stepsiblings, but I was confident he would find a way to navigate through it—maybe a loophole for his brothers.Honestly, I wasn’t expecting too much from our meet-up when I used to think about it, but now I had a feeling it would escalate to something very intimate. We would be the only ones at the manor, and I was sure he would get closer to me, maybe even too far this time.I smiled at the thought of being under him. His affection would make me feel more alive. But I was a little worried now that I remembered Nikon. Nikon had told me, “One of the rules in the mafia is not to get involved in forbidden love. Never be seen with your friend’s, foe’s, or ally’s spouse or partner. Never catch feelings for someone who is related to you—that includes stepsiblings and a friend’s partner too. And finally, never

    Lavender:I instantly deleted the message from both our chats, but his response came as a shock.E-Tron: I read it.I pouted.Levi: No, you didn’t. ;PLevi: If you did, tell me what it was.It was so amazing being playful with him. Our little flirtation would go on for hours usually. There were days when he’d text me nonstop like he was truly interested in me.E-Tron: How about we meet and I say it in your ear? All you have to do is meet me. I’ll knock on the door of your chest, and you’ll ask for the password. I’m sure when I say the right one, you’ll have to let me in.I felt heat rush to my cheeks. Did he really mean it? Was he asking me to meet him?E-Tron: Levi, please don’t hide anymore. I really want to meet you, to see you once.I began to smile ear to ear, hugging my phone. Maybe my life was finally getting better. Even though I had never had anyone love me so dearly, Easton’s love would be enough for me. I’m sure he will compensate for everyone else.Levi: Okay.

    Nikon:“Did you check your email? I sent you the picture of the man to look out for. He seems to be working with—” I was busy helping Igor learn a little more since he really wanted to be a part of my business but didn’t have any idea where to start.Even when I had given him smaller tasks and he had done them a few times before.“Igor—” The door slammed open, and in came Easton, all teeth bared and eyes glowing with rage. That would be the first time I’ve seen my brother lose his composure.Easton was usually the calm one among us. He was always reasonable and would do things more quietly and steadily.So when he arrived so angrily, I immediately turned my attention to Igor, wondering what he had done this time.“Yo!” Igor smirked, his grin so intimidating. He was leaning back in the chair, one leg over the other.Easton came straight in after he had slammed the door shut hard.“How did you let him do that?” However, he didn’t confront Igor and turned to me, hissing at me.I was caug

    Lavender:I came back home happy and all smiles. But my family was waiting on the second floor for me."Where were you? Normani told me you went out with Easton. Why?" My mother had such an angry look on her face that I began to wonder if any excuse I came up with would be enough.It was just that they couldn't stand to see me happy."Umm, he—" I shut up when Normani started touching my hands, trying to check them."What are you doing?" I groaned, slowly pulling away from her."He said he was taking you out to buy books. Where are they?" she asked, her eyes showing how ready she was to lose it."Mom, you know I wanted to go buy some stuff too, but he refused to take me," Normani threw a tantrum, stomping her feet nonstop."Maybe it's not our stepbrother's fault. Maybe Lavender said she wanted to go alone?" As always, Sabrina spoke less but still managed to make my mother even angrier."Did you ask him not to take my daughter along? And where the heck are the books? And why the hell do

    Lavender:His fingers assaulted my pussy for a while, and I swear I could tell I was really wet down there."Aren't you curious how my cock might taste?" he whispered and pulled his hand out of my panties, holding his two fingers up and smirking."Look who was all wet down there," he showed me the sticky substance between his fingers and I felt so embarrassed.I turned my face away while he cleaned his fingers, and then a zipper moving down made my heart skip a beat. I turned to him and my eyes landed on his cock sticking out of his pants.I bet he saw the look on my face. I was shocked. It was big and the girth—I didn't even know how it was possible.The head was so big too."You can kiss it," he whispered and my body just acted on its own. I leaned down and gently pressed my lips over his cock. The head of it was so hot and hard that after planting a kiss on it, I couldn't help but gently push the head into my mouth.It smelt and tasted so good.I was perplexed how it was possible.

    Lavender:"Not today, Normani. I’ll be quick—just getting her stuff and dropping her home. I can’t take the entire circus with me," he said, trying to open the door behind her, but she didn’t step aside. That made him glare at her.I expected him to take her with us, since I was the only one who’d been weird that night at the set.He probably liked Normani and Sabrina more."That doesn’t make sense. I need stationery too, so it’s not like you’d be taking me somewhere else," she complained, her smile fading completely this time."Normani—do you not see the look on my face? Do I need to remind you that I hate it when someone tries to control me?" he growled at her. Not only did I see her swallow hard, but I also felt his fingers tighten around mine. At that moment, I knew he was already on edge.She stared at him for a while, then turned her gaze to me before awkwardly stepping out of our way.I saw tears forming in her eyes, and I had a bad feeling I’d be confronted by her later.But E

    Lavender:“Someone attacked you and you think it doesn’t concern me?” he grimaced, his eyes locked deep into mine.His breathing was uneven, like he was trying to make it seem like he cared. But how could I trust him when he thought so little of me?“It’s okay, Igor took care of it,” I replied, turning my face to the side to avoid giving him the satisfaction of eye contact.“Look at me when you talk, and no! Igor is not the one who will take care of your problems—I will. The fact that you were at the island with him is already making me mad, and now you're saying his name is—” I heard him grind his teeth and breathe so heavily that his breath brushed over my face.It was such a minty-fresh breath that I couldn’t help but look at him, and then at his lips. As he licked them—probably just to moisten them—I bit my bottom lip and looked down.“What did you go with him?” he asked again, leaning forward to see my face.“Nikon dragged me out of my room just to make Igor happy,” I replied, si
