ROSE

A month later

The past month has been hectic. From my mom calling daily asking why I survived the injury to my dad always pleading with me to appeal for my sister's release—she's pregnant, and her stomach is getting bigger by the day. I don't care if the baby stays or dies; I mean, they killed mine, so I literally see nothing wrong with her losing hers either.

As for Conrad, after the nurse called that day, Dante decided to go in my place. I know it's his way of taking responsibility for m

    AUTHOR"You're surprised, right? You have to be. I guess you'd go crazy when you hear the full story," Lavender says."And what's the full story? That Conrald was aware of the fact that I was pregnant before he left? That's not new information, girl. I thought you had something meaningful to say. You know what? Just leave. Your information isn't valid. I already knew about it before you came, so maybe you should find something more useful to share, or you should leave," Rose tells her."What? You already knew about it? Then why didn't you react to it? Or are you just pretending to be aware of it all?" Lavender asks, looking surprised."I know everything already. Conrald told me, and surprisingly, I'm not shocked. I knew it from day one. I knew he had an idea about my pregnancy because his friend caught me with a pregnancy kit in the bathroom back then in college. I believed they told him about it because he did send someone to tell me to meet him on the rooftop because we had somethin

    ROSEA knock on Rose's door interrupts her call. She wants to drop the call, but Arabella stops her."Don't worry, Mom, I'll go get the door," Arabella says as she drops her phone and walks towards the door.She has nearly opened the door when a loud voice follows."Where is your mom? Why are you the one opening the door? Oh! Now I know it — she's gone out to meet my husband again. She can never change," Lavender says.Arabella doesn't respond. She just rolls her eyes, which angers Lavender further."Don't just keep quiet — answer my questions. You don't have to be as stupid as your mom every single time. Tell me where your mom went, and be fast about it," she yells again."Arabella, who is at the door? Or has the silly neighbor let his dog loose again?" Rose asks, not because she has no idea it is Lavender, but because she wants to embarrass her."Mom, the dog isn't that loud. It's the mad woman from earlier," Arabella says, making Lavender twitch her eyes. Wondering who they are cal

    AUTHOR"How dare you lay your filthy hands on me?" Conrald yells, his hand holding his cheek."Yes, I did, and I'll do it again if you don't learn to mind your words!" Lavender blurts, but before she can finish what she has to say, Conrald returns the slap. The slap is so hard that it sends her to the bare floor."You have no right whatsoever to lay your dirty hands on me! Gone are the days when I used to tolerate your excesses. If you ever lay your hands on me again, I will forget the fact that you are my mother's sister, and I'll make sure you never get to use your hands ever again. Mark my words!" Conrald says to the shocked Lavender.For five minutes, Lavender can't say another word. She tries to understand what is going on. It feels like a dream. Never for one day has she thought that Conrald would raise his hands on her, but it has just happened. He slaps her and is even threatening to make sure she doesn't use her hands ever again if she dares to lay a finger on him.The slap c

    ANNAI walk out of the hotel room dressed. Conrad pleaded I wear something nice. I didn't want to at first, but each time he keeps threatening me with my mission. First, he'd say he wouldn't say a word to me if I didn't do this; he won't do that if I didn't do this. It's simple: it's getting really

    ROSE"Do you plan on telling me how it happened, or did you just call me here to waste my time?" I ask Conrad, who won't stop staring at me."Will you be mad if I tell you I called to stare at you?" He winks. Bold of him to think that shit still works on me. Back then, I used to go ga-ga each time
