Lavender:“Mom, what is this?” I asked my mother when she stormed upstairs to the attic. It was her first time being in my room. I was slightly hoping she came to see if I was being taken care of. But from the looks of it, I could tell that wasn’t the case. She was holding some papers in her hands that seemed to be the reason she had come to my attic.“Your brother filled these forms for you and submitted them,” she muttered, looking upset. I noticed someone else standing right next to the door.Nikon had fixed the lock for my attic bedroom door. He said he would give me privacy, so I was hopeful he wouldn’t bother me again like he had before.And now that my mother was telling me he had even filled out the forms for me, I was kind of looking forward to becoming a doctor. I had been saving so much, but my family would drain me completely. I had eventually stopped thinking about spending money on my education and lost the desire to achieve my dreams.I felt selfish for taking help from

Lavender:“And he—he always says things that make me feel so disgusted with myself,” I whimpered, hiccuping while trying to finish a sentence.I don’t know what made me break down, because I never do that in front of anyone. Even for my age, I always try to keep it together and act mature. But somehow, Easton walking me to an empty street next to a café made me feel like I could finally cry in front of someone.Not just anyone—Easton.I knew the minute he made me sit down on the stairs of a locked house that he didn’t mean to insult me.“Why did you even go to his office in the first place?” he asked, sitting on the step below mine, still somehow looking taller than me.“I wanted to tell him that I don’t want to continue my studies,” I said, wiping my tears, feeling annoyed with myself for acting like a baby.Usually, I handle my own problems. I comfort myself. But in front of Easton, I felt vulnerable—I wanted him to take care of me.Pathetic?After all, I’m just a human being with a

Lavender:“There is something seriously wrong with you,” I said in disbelief, watching him smirk at me.“There is?” he raised his brow, and that confirmation he waited for sounded like a trick.It was as if he wanted me to take back my words. But I wouldn’t.Even when I was genuinely scared of him.“Hmm, well, let's find out what’s wrong with most of us,” he said with a slight grin as he stepped back from me.But the way he walked backward was even scarier, especially when he started rubbing his chin and looking me up and down.“I won’t let you go that easily. You’ll have to do the same for me as you’re doing for your other brothers,” those words made me look away in disgust, and that’s when his laughter made me look back at him.“What? I thought you weren’t doing anything wrong? But your reaction tells me there’s a dirty little secret you’re hiding.”I didn’t say anything to him after that, and he started walking toward the door.I kept having this awful feeling that he’d stop and tu

Lavender:Taking the black sheets off the wall, snatching my red hair wig, I lay down in my bed after I had tucked away my private stash for good reasons.My heart was heavy with emotions. The friend I thought respected me had made his intentions and thoughts about me and the others clear tonight.I don't know why I was so upset over a person I had never met. He was probably one of those guys who thought they could sleep with me if they acted right.But it was the kind of words he used for anyone who does what I do. It hurt me. The so-called friend turned out to be a liar.He was my biggest tipper and had always said such nice things. We would chat about random stuff, stories of our childhood without revealing much, and I always thought I had a loyal and decent friend.I forced myself to go to sleep and not think about him.The next morning, I had to rush for breakfast. Nikon had made it clear that I wouldn’t skip meals with the family. Even when I did miss two last night, I guess Nik

Igor:The fact that Easton took them to see his shoot raised red flags in my head. He must be hooking up with Lavender in his van while the others were away.It enraged me.How could they be playing games behind my back?Was that why I was angry—or was it because my own stepsister looked like she’d rather drink poison than speak to me?I remembered the bored look on her face when I stayed at her place. But now, she was all respect and giggles for Easton.They got back home late that night, with Lavender still wearing a jacket from the set.Easton must’ve paid a lot to keep it.But why?What was going on?Why were my brothers suddenly treating her so well?Was there some game happening, and I was the one being left out?“I hope they didn’t bother you while you were shooting,” Nikon said. He always had that respectful tone with Easton.Even though I was the youngest, I felt like I deserved a bit of respect too—and I hated when I didn’t get it.“The two were definitely a handful,” Easton
