Semua Bab Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned: Bab 221 - Bab 230

Lavender:I had been sobbing, sitting at the edge of the bed ever since he locked me in with him. It was the disrespect for me. I didn’t like how he dragged me and pinned me under him, and then he threatened me with words that would haunt me forever.He walked out of the bathroom after taking a shower like nothing had happened. He reached the mirror and combed his hair, shaking his head like a dog and spraying water everywhere. Then he came to the bed, took off his robe, and was left wearing only shorts. I hastily looked away, but there was something I noticed briefly before doing so.Not just his abs or how muscular his body was, but the markings on his back and abdomen. Since I had looked away too quickly, I couldn’t really gather what I had seen.It could have been tattoos, he did have tattoos.He got into bed and under the covers, then stretched his hand back to grab the pillow on my side and tossed it to the couch. It landed perfectly. He had good aim.“Go cry over there. No need

Lavender:“Lowell,” Denise turned to pass him a quizzical glance. It was probably because he hadn’t told her the entire truth, just to hide his own faults and make me look like a thirsty stalker chasing after him.“I was worried for her because she was family,” Lowell tried explaining, and noticed how quickly she began to believe him again by nodding her head.“Why? I already asked other professors to do that. Besides, Lavender! has he introduced himself as family to you?” Nikon asked, gently touching the back of my hand with two fingers to get my attention. It was subtle things like that he did that would make me stare at him for too long in confusion.“No, he didn’t,” I replied, trying to focus on the matter at hand.Lowell shifted uncomfortably in his seat, almost as if trying to avoid his wife’s gaze because he could tell she was starting to realize he hadn’t been entirely honest with her. Still, he wasn’t about to admit anything, because that would mean acknowledging his faults.

Lavender:Thankfully, he dropped me off and left, so now I had a few spare minutes, or maybe hours, I couldn’t really tell, to be by myself. I rushed into the mansion and went straight to my bedroom, but the moment I tried to open the door, I realized it was locked from the outside. And I was pretty sure the lock had been changed.I looked around, hoping to find a maid nearby. When I couldn’t find anyone, frustration bubbled up inside me, and I yelled out, “Does anybody know why there’s a lock on my door?”I hoped a maid or a helper would show up and explain the situation, but instead, my stepsisters came into view."Your dear husband changed the lock," Normani said with a smug grin. "Why would you still want to be in your bedroom when you have a husband now? Shouldn’t you be in his bedroom? Or are you trying to act superior so he’ll chase after you?"Of course, it was Normani who started running her mouth. She was always like this; loud, bitter, and incapable of minding her own busin

Lavender:"Just come with us," Igor said, and I began to look around because what did he mean by us?"Igor, are you certain there's nobody else around in the main mansion?" I asked, hesitant. I didn’t want anyone to see us together and then accuse me of yet another big lie. I mean, this time it wouldn’t even be a lie, but since no one knows that Nikon forced me into a marriage, they’d accuse me of infidelity instead of understanding that I never wanted to give in to Nikon’s imprisonment. Just because he kidnapped me doesn’t mean I should fall in love with him."But where are you taking me?" I asked again."Firstly, no—there’s no one in the main mansion. Secondly, just come with me."Igor was holding my hand, dragging me through the grand hallways of the mansion. When we reached the stairs to the second floor, I realized where he was taking me. It was the second floor, where there weren’t many rooms, at least not any occupied ones. As far as I knew, there was only an office up there. B

Lavender:“Lavender, please tell me you told him no.” He asked me, his eyes demanding the truth.“I tried,” I replied, setting down the two cups on the small garden table.“What do you mean, you tried?” Easton said, sounding completely exhausted.“Easton, don’t you know your brother? If he wants something, he gets it. There’s no way I could protest hard enough to change his mind,” I argued, my irritation rising. Nikon could wake up at any moment, and if he found me here, I had no idea what he’d do.“So that means you’re just gonna go with him?” Igor gestured in frustration, pointing outward.“What do you want me to do, then? I told him I don’t want to go. He won’t even tell me where he’s taking me.”They looked at me like it was all my fault, and I hated it."What, why are you two looking at me like it's my fault? Could you two change his mind? You're his brothers, I'm nothing. If you couldn't do it, how the hell do you expect me to do it?"I started almost raising my voice when the t
