CONRAD

I'm too late. Lavender has a knife at Logan's throat. Logan is terrified, and Rose is cradled in Dante's arms in her pool of blood.

My finger around my gun starts shaking. Rose is dying, and if I don't do something soon, she will die. If I aim correctly and shoot Lavender in her arm or her thigh, she will let go of Logan and I'll create space for Dante to take Rose into the ambulance. But what if I shoot Lavender and she just slits Logan's throat anyway and they both fall to the ground? She's that crazy. That won't work. How can I save both Rose and Logan?

"If anyone comes closer to me, I'll slit his throat," Lavender threatens again.

Everyone outside can't come in because one wrong move or step could kill someone right now. Logan isn't terrified anymore. He's calm, like I need him to be, but tears are dropping from his eyes. He's looking at Dante, who still has Rose in his arms. He's looking at them with so much sadness in his eyes.

    Dante's POV"How do you know I'm wearing blue? And why the fuck are you calling me?" I half yell."Don't throw tantrums, Dante. Though it looks good on you... I mean, you look sexy handsome when you're pissed," she blurts, getting me more and more pissed. The way she sounds makes it seem like she's seeing my face, and at a point, I can't help but look around, probably to see if she instructed the little devil to place a camera in his room."Don't bother looking around, hubby. You won't find the camera even if you search from now until tomorrow; it's not where you'd expect it to be," she chuckles victoriously."So you think? You should know it's my house, and mind you, we did it together... the camera, I mean. I was the one who placed it; you just happened to get the log to it. But not to worry, I'll be removing it this moment. Let's see if you can still brag about seeing me," I hiss loudly.&n

    Dante's POV After they leave, I go straight to Logan's room to look for him. He needs to explain why he did what he did. I'm still trying to understand how he managed to get down the stairs through the window, and I must ask him as well.As I approach his room, I hear his voice; he is on the phone with someone. I quickly lean in to his door to hear what and who he is speaking with."Yes, Mom. I did scare the daylight out of her. You needed to have seen how scared she was; she was literally begging me to open the door so her ugly child could come out." He pauses, and I can't hear the other person, whom I already assume is his mom. I just got him the phone days ago; how did he manage to get his mom's contact in it?"Yes, Mom. I won't spare him either. I'll make sure he regrets leaving you for that ugly woman. Don't worry; I'll make sure they don't come together. Her daughter already cursed at me while they were leaving. She was telling her mom she'd never come here again. So for now, y

    ROSE I rush towards the supposed guest room, not even minding the fact that I could fall from the staircase. Thousands of thoughts cloud my mind. What if he tries to force himself on Arabella? He's no longer the kid I thought he was. He's a fucking 17-year-old kid who could do anything he wants with someone like Arabella. I was always seeing him as a small child because of his supposed age, but after today's revelation, I literally believe he can do absolutely anything. He's been staying with his mean mom all this while, so he should be capable of many wicked things. I just pray he doesn't try even the slightest of it with my child."Logan, open the door!" I knock, trying as hard as possible to hold back my anger. I remain quiet afterward, hoping to hear a response, but get none. And it only gets me more worried.The fact that I'm not even hearing any sound forces another silly thought into my troubled brain. What if he's killed her? The look on that boy's face when he left the dinin

    DANTEI stare in the direction Jordan went until he is out of sight.For five minutes, I can't say a thing. I can feel my stomach rumbling, not out of hunger or thirst but something much deeper than that. Fear grips me; the shock forces numbness down my joints. Jordan, of all people, knew all these years but didn't bother telling me about it. I can only imagine how much I've neglected my fatherly duty. If I had taken my duties seriously, then I would have known all this and he might have said something about it to me. But hell, I didn't even have time for myself, let alone my child.Even though it's Lavender's fault, I shouldn't always shift the blame to her. At this point, blaming someone is the last thing on my mind."Dante... are you okay?" Rose, who has been staring numbly at me, asks. I nod, forcing a smile on my face."I understand how you feel, Dante. But I suggest you don't stress yourself so much; it already happened. The only thing you can do at this moment is find a way to

    ROSEMy mouth widens the moment Dante mentions twins. What other secret is he hiding from me? It's funny how they imagine convincing everyone that both kids are the same age when in reality, they're nothing alike."You mean Logan is a twin on his own?" I ask Dante, who nods almost immediately."He is. Years ago, they got into an accident while coming back from school. Their mom was the driver, so I dare not say much when the kid died. The accident was so bad that we lost one of our sons. Jordan, who suffered a head injury, began having concussions, a condition that made him forget most of his memory. Each day, he kept asking about his brother, whom we would usually say is out with his aunt. The day Logan, who had gone on a school trip, returned and came to see him in the hospital, he immediately took him as his twin. We wanted to correct him about it, but the doctor claimed we should allow it, that his brain would heal with time and he would come to accept the truth about his twin's d

    ROSEI stare at Dante, waiting for him to react to the slap, but he says nothing.Logan reluctantly stands up from the floor, sitting back as if nothing has happened. I still wonder where Arabella found the guts to slap someone nearly twice her size; the boy looks really chubby that I can't help but doubt if he's truly twins with Jordan. I still doubt it, but I dare not ask. I guess it's just another secret Dante and his ex-wife don't want to share with the world.How come I didn't notice all of this the whole time? There is so much difference between Logan and Jordan; they barely look alike. Their voices, their heights, and their statuses are way too different. They look nothing like twins. I should have known better. It was the same boy I saw in Jessica's apartment that day. I didn't get to see his full body, so I couldn't tell the details bluntly.The whole thing makes me realize how Lavender mana
