Igor:I was stunned when I heard the reports. She was pregnant. And she actually expected me and Easton to stand by her, to comfort her, while she moaned and groaned my brother's name. It wasn’t just that, she had fallen in love with him too. She completely cut us out of her life as if we were nothing.Easton stared at me, holding the reports."Take it," I told him.My heart was pounding so hard I thought I might have a heart attack."Take it. Take the job of the mafia boss," I said to Easton, trying to sound calm even though it wasn’t easy.Just because Nikon had taken care of us, he thought he could take away the most precious thing from us. And that bitch proved everyone right, showing she would follow in her father’s footsteps, the man who took advantage of a helpless woman and then ran off like a coward."Yeah, I’m gonna do it," Easton said, nodding as he put the reports back."What are you going to do? What will you tell Lavender?" I asked, knowing we had to be careful about how
Easton:I arrived home after dropping Lavender off at the new mansion and ran into my brother. His glare was sharp."I heard who planned the attack on me," he hissed. He was doing much better now. Since it had been a few weeks, he looked fine. Time was passing quickly."Yeah, I’ll take care of it, don’t worry," I said tiredly as I threw myself onto the couch, leaning my head back to rest. I could feel him staring at me from the bed."I wanna get out. I can’t just stay in bed forever," he grumbled. Obviously, I expected that. We weren’t the type of brothers who could stay cooped up for long. I nodded, cracked my knuckles, and just stared at him."How is she?" he asked. I knew he would bring her up. I just didn’t know when. And then he did.I nodded, but it was more of an upset nod."All she talks about is him." The moment I said it, I saw the same look on my brother’s face that was on mine."She just threw us aside. I’m stuck in bed, hurt, and she’s worried about Nikon being in jail, e
Lavender:I had been feeling so low. When I woke the next morning, I knew there would be no more calls from Nikon. However, Mr. Benson Garner texted me to say he had my number and would keep me updated through messages.I spent the first few hours after waking in the bathroom, throwing up. I felt strange, unsettled. For the next few hours, until the afternoon, I kept trying to convince myself I wanted to eat. Easton had told me that his brother would let me know about the reports since they would go directly to the hospital. I didn’t have my old phone, and I didn’t even have the doctor’s number.Then I received a call from Easton. He told me he had my reports and would bring them over. His voice sounded drained. I was terrified of what the reports might say, but I had no choice except to wait for him. There were a lot of guards outside, and when I checked the news online, many outlets were already suggesting that Kenzie had been involved in shady business. That felt like a good start.
Lavender:I had been trying my best to stay calm throughout the day, but ever since Easton left, I couldn’t help but miss Nikon even more. I began to wonder if it was truly my fault for not being more careful. But how could I have ever known what that evil Kenzie was planning for me?I stood alone in my room, thinking about how I would react once I was back with Nikon. I would cherish every moment with him, and it would be even more meaningful this time. I was pretty sure his mafia business would soon be coming to an end because of how actively he was working with the FBI. Maybe Isola Vira would finally be free of such mafia activity.I sighed as I stared outside, watching the sun go down.As darkness settled over everything, I heard a knock on the door. I turned to my left as I hadn’t even noticed a car pulling up because I had dozed off for a few minutes. I got up and walked to the door, opening it. Through the glass, I saw Easton standing outside.“Easton, what are you doing here?”
Lavender:Once he had loaded my bags into the car, he gave me a weak smile. “Wow, I never thought I’d be packing your bags to escort you out of the mansion,” he commented, folding his arms across his chest as he leaned against the car door.“Same. I mean, it’s weird. In the beginning, I wanted to escape this place so badly, and now it just fills my heart with memories of Nikon,” I whispered. I noticed he looked down and then turned his face to the side.I guess my entire world had become Nikon. It wasn’t possible for me to speak without saying his name every few minutes. In every conversation, he somehow became a part of it, which told me I was truly, desperately in love, unlike ever before.“Well, my brother is charming.” Thankfully, Easton took it lightly and changed the subject on a much more positive note.“Thank you, Easton, for not making it hard for me,” I whispered, pouting. He noticed and frowned.“Of course I would never. I told you, Lavender, it was your decision. I may hav
Lavender:I wanted to meet Igor, but he was sleeping. After I packed my bags, I quietly escaped the mansion. Mr. Volkov was throwing a tantrum over the fact that I had called him out, and my mother was cussing at me from the living room. I didn’t go in there again. I just left with Easton.But he had to make a quick run back inside to grab his phone so I was now waiting in the parking lot when I stumbled upon a rather disturbing sight.I noticed an SUV parked outside the mansion, not in the drive-thru or even the parking lot. It wouldn’t have been that concerning if I hadn’t seen Sabrina leaning into the window to speak to someone in the backseat. I watched for about two minutes, but it was clear she had been standing there before I came out.Then she pulled back, turned to the side, bent down, and picked up a flower bouquet and a Gucci bag. She walked into the mansion with a big smile on her face. She seemed a little too excited. Maybe this was her boyfriend. If so, then it wasn’t th
