Lavender:All the cars started leaving, one after another. Loud engines, bright lights, dust in the air. I just sat on the chair and watched them go. It was like they couldn’t wait to race. Then I saw it.One car didn’t move.It stayed in the same place while the others drove away. That felt strange. I looked at it again. The windows were dark, but I could see someone inside.He was looking at me.I didn’t know who he was, but I knew he wasn’t just sitting there. He was staring. At me. Not moving, not blinking. Just watching.My stomach felt tight. Like something was wrong. Really wrong.I wanted to look away, but I couldn’t. My eyes stayed on the car. My body didn’t move. I felt cold even though the night wasn’t that cold.Why was he still there?Why was he watching me?I started recalling who had sat down in that one particular car. His form was not recognizable because of the tinted windows, until all the cars had passed me and disappeared. Then, he slowly rolled the window down.T

Lavender:My body was under so much stress, but I didn’t stop fighting. I would scratch his whole body if I had to. As I pulled his hair, his hold over me started to loosen. That’s when his grip tightened around my neck in an attempt to choke me until I passed out.Coughs erupted from my mouth, my throat closing as he choked me from behind with his arm wrapped around my neck, my chin tightly pressed against his arm.I was trying my best to stand up from the ground, but at this point, I was beginning to realize it wouldn't be possible for me.However, as the world started to fade around me, I felt sudden relief. The weight of his body on my back was no longer forcing me down. I rolled over to get away from him, and while lying flat on my back, coughing, I saw someone get on top of him and start beating him to a pulp.It took me a few seconds to finally see clearly and catch my breath. It was Igor, punching his friend wildly.“Let him go, you’re going to kill him,” Valerie kept shouting

Lavender:I went straight to my room and changed into my PJs to lie down in bed. We had arrived earlier than we had planned.It was 2 AM, and I was restless. I knew I had to confront Easton about his comments on me.However, deep down, I had a feeling Igor was lying just to cause tension between me and his brother.Levi: Hey :) I heard you had your stepsisters over at the shooting location the other night. There were talks about them.That was a long guess. He knew I did his PR work and made speeches for him, so it was obvious that somehow words had reached my ears. However, what he didn’t know was that it wasn’t my line of work. I didn’t work for anyone, and I had no connections with paparazzi or anyone like that.Thankfully, his message arrived soon, or I would have kept staring at my phone. But the context of his text didn’t help with my anxiety.E-Tron: Oh! I guess I know what you're talking about. Yeah, she was being so "pick-me" there. One of them. She ruined it so much, acting

Lavender:"Not today, Normani. I’ll be quick—just getting her stuff and dropping her home. I can’t take the entire circus with me," he said, trying to open the door behind her, but she didn’t step aside. That made him glare at her.I expected him to take her with us, since I was the only one who’d been weird that night at the set.He probably liked Normani and Sabrina more."That doesn’t make sense. I need stationery too, so it’s not like you’d be taking me somewhere else," she complained, her smile fading completely this time."Normani—do you not see the look on my face? Do I need to remind you that I hate it when someone tries to control me?" he growled at her. Not only did I see her swallow hard, but I also felt his fingers tighten around mine. At that moment, I knew he was already on edge.She stared at him for a while, then turned her gaze to me before awkwardly stepping out of our way.I saw tears forming in her eyes, and I had a bad feeling I’d be confronted by her later.But E

Lavender:I came back home happy and all smiles. But my family was waiting on the second floor for me."Where were you? Normani told me you went out with Easton. Why?" My mother had such an angry look on her face that I began to wonder if any excuse I came up with would be enough.It was just that they couldn't stand to see me happy."Umm, he—" I shut up when Normani started touching my hands, trying to check them."What are you doing?" I groaned, slowly pulling away from her."He said he was taking you out to buy books. Where are they?" she asked, her eyes showing how ready she was to lose it."Mom, you know I wanted to go buy some stuff too, but he refused to take me," Normani threw a tantrum, stomping her feet nonstop."Maybe it's not our stepbrother's fault. Maybe Lavender said she wanted to go alone?" As always, Sabrina spoke less but still managed to make my mother even angrier."Did you ask him not to take my daughter along? And where the heck are the books? And why the hell do
