Lavender:In a matter of minutes, my life had turned upside down. It wasn’t like I had been comfortable before. Losing Nikon to jail was already hitting me hard, and on top of that, my emotions were a mess because of my hormonal changes.And now this. The two guys Nikon trusted most had betrayed him in the worst way possible. They found out their brother loved me. They knew I had chosen him. Yet they played such a cruel game.They brought me to a mansion Nikon hadn’t picked. Now the two of them were everywhere. They had stolen my phone and were mocking and taunting me. I swallowed hard, desperate for water. This was the fifth time I was about to ask them for something to drink."Please, I need water," I pleaded, still sitting on the couch.Igor stood in front of me, his legs slightly apart, a cast on his left hand, his eyes fixed on me. Two guards stood behind him, probably because he thought I might try to fight my way out.I had no idea what Easton was doing with the other guards in
Lavender:I had been in shock ever since Easton started acting unhinged. I stood against the wall, my back pressed to it."Easton, what the fuck is wrong with you?" I groaned, frustrated. None of this made sense. Why was he suddenly acting like some jealous boyfriend?Time had passed, and he still held my pregnancy report. Why was he making everything so complicated?"Oh really? You think just because time has passed everything will be different?" he grunted, narrowing his eyes at me.I thought hiding behind the couch would keep me safe for a while, but the minute he looked away, I sprinted toward the door. The guards rushed in, blocking my path.Earlier, when he had revealed his intentions, I had tried the same thing and noticed the guards standing there. At first, Easton had been calm, but eventually he stepped in my way, and I had to back down.This time, I wasn’t going to step back. Seeing the guards gave me a shred of courage, and I pointed at Easton to draw their attention to hi
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?”
