Lavender:

After I told her the truth, I went to my room. And by my room, I meant the one I stayed in before marrying Nikon. But then I heard footsteps rushing after me.

"What are you doing?" Nikon grabbed my arm as I stood in front of the door, trying to unlock it. I had taken the keys from his closet for my old bedroom.

"Nikon, please, just leave me alone," I told him, pulling my arm free.

"No, you will be staying in my room. We have prepared a guest room for her," he said.

I paused for a moment, then nodded. “Oh, right, I had forgotten—we aren’t supposed to tell our family that we married for a contract. Yeah, sure, I'll stay in your room, Mr. Nikon," I replied sarcastically, hissing the words with a smile.

"Your anger is justified, but please, give me a moment to explain myself," he said.

I shook my head. "No, Nikon, because I realized the more you speak, the more you can convince me the sky is full of glitters. So no, I won’t let you manipulate me. Step out of my way." I hissed, n

Oh this is heartbreaking…what is truly happening? I hope Nikon truly loves Lavender and there’s no real love for Kenzie anymore. It’s so hard to not know the full truth. I just hope Nikon hasn’t been lying to her. Please tell us he’s true to Lavender.

  • Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned   302-The Decision

    Lavender:I spent the rest of the day going to college and then stopping by Ruby's bakery to grab Nikon some fresh bread, muffins, and croissants before heading back home. I stayed in contact with him and knew he was on his way too. I didn’t say it, but I think he knew I didn’t want to stay at the mansion when he wasn’t around.When I arrived, his car was already in the parking lot. That gave me comfort because it meant I wouldn’t have to make awkward small talk with anyone else or face Kenzie alone. But I was wrong to think everything would be fine, because the minute I stepped into the mansion, I could already hear commotion coming from the living room. More specifically, Kenzie freaking out.I took a deep breath, went to my bedroom first, left the food and my bag there, then walked back out to see what was going on. Since Nikon wasn’t in the bathroom or bedroom, I figured he had to be in the living room too.I walked down the corridor, and as soon as I entered, I caught the gist of

    Lavender: After she left and it was just Nikon and me, I noticed how anxiously he had been pacing around."I don't want to be the reason you are so worried," I mumbled. Nikon turned to me. I had been sitting on the bench, watching him pace all this time, until I finally decided to speak up."I don't want to talk about it right now," he said before continuing his walk.After a few minutes of silence, he stopped again right in front of me.“And what the hell do you mean by ‘you don’t want to be the reason I’m stressing out’? If what I think you mean is really what you mean, then don’t ever say it again.”He grunted at me, warning me never to speak such words again. I just bobbed my head and started to look around. I felt so down that at moments I thought I might just fall asleep. Somehow he noticed. This time, when he stopped, he had a different topic in mind."You can go home and rest. Easton and my father are there. I’ll inform Easton to keep an eye on Kenzie and make sure she stays

    Lavender:“Of course, Nikon can do anything. If he wants, he can prove anyone innocent,” she mumbled, trying to make it seem like whatever proof Nikon gave was just made up to protect me.“But is that all you know about him? Nikon would never do anything wrong. He found out the truth, and every concern he raised was rightful,” I argued, making her face go pale because I was standing up for Nikon’s character.“He’s a mafia boss, sweetie. And although you’re trying to act like he’s a saint, that’s just your mind playing games with you. For me, even if he’s a devil, I love him. So let’s just say that’s the difference between a contract wife and the one who truly loves him,” she said, pointing at her chest, twisting the whole thing in her favor and making it seem like I was wrong for admiring Nikon for doing the right thing, while she was the devoted girlfriend who would love him no matter what.“Kenzie, next time, if you have to talk about all this stuff, I’d recommend you do it in front

  • Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned   299-She Confronted Me

    Lavender:When I woke up, I got up to see Nikon coming out of the bathroom. I yawned and rubbed my eyes, watching him get ready for the day. He was usually busy doing one thing or another. But it was only after his brother got attacked that I got to see him look so tired and exhausted.“Are you headed to the hospital?” I asked, and he nodded.“Yeah, but I’ll wait for you to freshen up,” he said. I began to get out of bed, not sure what he meant.“You’re coming with me,” he added when he noticed my confused look.“Oh,” I said, still unsure, but I didn’t argue and headed to the bathroom. I took a quick shower because I knew he was waiting, and making him wait longer would be unfair.After I got out in a light green dress, I told him I was ready. He had been sitting on the couch, talking to someone on the phone. He got up and slipped his arm around me.“I would’ve left you at home, but, you know, I’m just not comfortable,” he said.He didn’t have to say more, I already knew what he meant

  • Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned   298-Peace In My Arms

    Lavender:After a few minutes, Easton and Mr. Volkov walked in with their men, looking anxious. Easton’s eyes were swollen, so I could already tell he had been crying for his brother.The minute Nikon and Easton came face to face, they hugged. Nikon patted his back, trying to comfort him.Hours passed. I could tell me being there was a little too hectic for Nikon. While he was busy trying to find out who could have attacked Igor, he was also tending to me, and I hated it. Every few minutes, Nikon came to me, asking if I needed anything, and I didn’t like it. It wasn’t my time, he shouldn’t be worrying about me. But he wouldn’t let me take care of him either. Anytime I got up to get him something, he instantly made me sit down.After hours of waiting for Igor, the doctor finally came out and told us he was out of danger. I saw the way Nikon took a deep breath of relief, but I couldn’t help looking at Mr. Volkov the whole time. Maybe because I knew the things he had done to him. It must

    Lavender:"I know that made you very happy," Nikon said after I stayed quiet but smiled wide."It did," I replied. It was honestly a relief to hear that he didn’t take his mafia job seriously. Because him working for the FBI meant he wasn’t a bad guy. All the people he killed or hurt were picked by the FBI, and those were people who had already committed harsh crimes.He told me in the next ten minutes how he met the FBI and how they had been secretly working on the mission to stop Volkov."So why can't we just arrest Volkov?" I asked, confused. "That would be so much easier."But of course, I already knew it would never be that easy.“Because A, if Volkov got caught, everyone would find out I was working for the FBI, and that would mean other mafia members attacking anyone I love.” Nikon paused as he held my hand. "And the ones I love are really precious to me," he said, planting a kiss on the back of my hand. "And secondly, I’ve discovered some very scary secrets about Volko. There
