Lavender:I felt really awkward after hearing what exactly had compelled Nikon to visit the bakery. But something didn’t make sense. Why would he do something for me? Why would he clear their debt and stop bothering them about the basement he had wanted so badly in the past? Nikon was truly unpredictable.Immediately after I returned to my bedroom, I found a text from Ruby.Ruby: Hey Lavender, I'm truly sorry for yesterday. I guess I was in my feelings and was really scared. I hope we can meet someday and squash the differences.I smiled, responding to her name.Me: I would love that very much. Thank you so much for giving me a chance to speak with you and rekindle our friendship.As soon as I hit the send button, I opened the chat box for Easton and Igor. I wanted to message them because they hadn’t texted me since last night. I tried to call Easton first, and when he didn’t respond, I called Igor. I called Igor last because I had a feeling he was even angrier than Easton. However, n
Lavender:I don't know why I let him take me to bed. I guess I was feeling so hopeless and miserable that I sought comfort. The way he held my arms and made me stand up, then, without giving it a second thought, he carried me, was something not expected from him. Before I could register it, he had one arm under my legs and the other behind my back. My hand rested on his naked, hairless chest. His muscles were bulging. He was so fucking ripped. He took me to the bed and sat me down.“Now, you stop crying, because look at yourself. Must I tell you your eyes are completely swollen shut?” he commented, sounding way gentler than before.I hated that he felt like he had to be nice to me in order to comfort me. But honestly, I didn’t have any strength left in my body to respond to him in the same arrogant way or push him back. I just wanted the night to end so I could go and speak to Easton and Igor again. I felt so guilty.“Lie down now,” Nikon said, helping me lie down as he pulled the bla
Nikon:I had been furious with Lavender, and this wouldn’t be the first time she had done something stupid. But this time, she did it in front of others. She raised a hand on me. Nobody had ever done that.I wanted to break her hand at that moment, but then she started screaming and became all emotional, and being an idiot who looks at her innocent face and melts, I melted in the moment. But that’s when I asked her to leave, so I could regain my posture and convince myself that what she did was wrong.So once I got home, I told her in simple words that I didn’t feel an ounce of sympathy for her. She could cry all she wanted. She could cry all night, for all I fucking cared. She couldn’t just hit me and then act like she was the victim.Once I got out of the bathroom, I found her still sitting on the floor, sobbing into her hands. She had her knees pulled slightly away from her body so she could fit her hands between her chest and her knees and bury her face in them.“If you think I’ll
Lavender:And then I heard Ruby let out the loudest gasp. Almost the type that says something extremely bad has happened which will be followed by extreme consequences. Because even though she was so angry at Nikon, she would never dare to slap him. Nobody would. So of course, it was a shocker, and I couldn’t even understand why I did it. I fucking slapped the mafia boss, the crazy one, in public.I watched his jaw clench, his eyes to the side before he steadily and very creepily turned his face straight to look at me.And I didn’t just stop there. I grabbed his collar when he grabbed my arms too, probably only so that he could also have his hold on me.“Why are you doing this? Why won't you stop? How much money do you want to steal? How much pain do you wish to cause? Where does this end? When will you stop?" I screamed and cried. Because of everything that had happened, I was heavily emotional. I started hitting him on the chest while sobbing.“Why would you do this? You know everyb
Lavender:Him holding me so tight scared me. They were losing their control, saying things that I never imagined them of speaking. I needed to get away from them."Let me go, Igor. I will not stay here if I don't want to," I grunted, my eyes narrowing at him.That’s when Easton stepped forward and placed a hand on Igor’s wrist, urging him to release me."Don’t do anything you’ll regret later," Easton said to Igor before turning to me. However, it shocked me that he had calmed down. He probably saw the fresh tears in my eyes."I'm sorry if any of my words have hurt you, but you’ve hurt me deeply too. If it were me who had done this to you, I’m pretty sure you would’ve slapped me. But since you're a woman, it would’ve been justified."Easton's words hurt me deeply, and not just because of what he said, but because he was right. Of course I cheated. Not pushing Nikon away was as good as cheating."Anyway, we’ll drop you home," Easton offered, while Igor stormed off. I could hear him grun
Lavender:"I need to say something." I started to wiggle out of their arms, holding my dress down to stop Igor from taking off my panties because I could tell he was ready to do so.Seeing me protest made Igor let go and get up from the ground, gently caressing my cheek, while Easton also stopped making out with me. He gently touched my cheek, tucking my hair behind my ear."What is it?" they asked in unison, looking so concerned.I felt so guilty. They loved me so much and cared so deeply for me that one text from me would make them drop everything they were doing just to come see me.And here I was, someone who had almost cheated on them."It’s just that—" I started to stutter, unable to form a full sentence. Every time I tried to speak, I would look at them, and then I’d feel guilty, and I’d shut down.It will be so hard for them to hear me say that I almost let their brother sleep with me."I have made a mistake," I started speaking again, watching them share a glance and then loo
