Nikon:Many Years Ago:My mom started packing both her bag and mine. She grabbed as many things as she could, everything that belonged to us and not to Papa. I helped her bring all the valuable things to put in the bag. We didn’t touch anything that belonged to him or came from his money. But there wasn’t much he had bought anyway. Almost everything in the house came from my mother’s hard-earned money.After we had packed almost 5 bags, we met at the exit. For the first time, I felt relieved. There was hope that from tonight we would live a better life. My mom was always my protector. She put a fake fur coat on me, then covered herself with an old one. It was winter, so the cold was sharp.My mom called an uber and we slipped inside without wasting our time. Once we settled, my mother hugged me. We were finally free. We were going to live a better life.I thought about all the things I wanted to do for her. I would study so hard, and I would make her proud. One day, maybe she would te

Nikon:"Yes, and your father is a very powerful man." She smiled, and I smiled back at her."Then that means my real father will beat up my fake father for hurting us?" I asked, standing up straight and making fists in excitement.My mother laughed a little. "Well, it’s just a thought. I’ve been trying to look for him, and I came across this man. He helps bring missing family members back together. I invested some money in him before, but he couldn’t find your father for me. However, two months ago, he reached out and said there’s a chance he might have found him because your DNA matched with someone."My eyes widened. I didn’t really understand what she meant, but all I gathered was they had found my father. "And tonight he is coming over to meet us?" I gasped.My mom’s smile began to fade. "Oh no, honey. This man will come first so he can speak with us. Then he’ll let us know if the man he found is really your father—the one I knew."She said it happily, and I thought everything was

Nikon:Life was never the same. I was growing up, and every night I was reminded that I was supposed to take over my father's place when I reached a certain age, and that I had to take care of my brothers too. There were moments when I understood what my father was trying to say. He wanted me to know I was only there because I shared his blood. Other than that, he didn’t really care for me.I learned a few more things while growing up. In the mafia, if you have a child born illegitimate, that child is only seen as an object. They aren’t loved and are usually used for personal gain. I figured it out quickly, especially when the family went out for dinners and I was left behind, tied to the railing of the stairs.Rachel was kind, but I watched her go from sweet to losing her mind. She would sit in the corner laughing or crying hysterically. Her fate was just like mine, except I had a use. My father was going to use me to build his empire, a servant he could control. He thought he was do

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. T

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
