Lahat ng Kabanata ng Help Me, Stepbrothers, For I Have Sinned: Kabanata 281 - Kabanata 290

Lavender:Sex was always good when it was Nikon. It felt more intimate and not a chore. That night, he didn't even let me out of his arms for a second. We slept cuddling.I can officially say I cuddled with the Alpha King.I had come home from college a bit earlier than usual. A bad storm was setting in, and I heard Nikon was supposed to stay late at the office. Unfortunately, that day everyone decided to have lunch in the dining room. I didn’t want to hide in my room, I had a feeling Volkov would cause problems because of how I’d been acting.As soon as I sat down, I noticed everyone staring at me. Igor was still angry, I could tell by how his fists clenched around his fork, though he didn’t look directly at me. Easton had mixed emotions on his face, a mix of concern and guilt. Then there were Sabrina and Normani, who, as always, looked at me like they wanted to eat me alive."Just because you’re married to Nikon now doesn’t mean you get to skip sitting with us," Volkov said, gruntin

Lavender:“Why would you show me all this and try to turn my heart against your brother?” I questioned Easton, sounding hypocritical“Because I love you and you know that. But if that’s a problem, I’ll just stay quiet,” he hissed, then added, “It’s not like you didn’t cheat on me, so please don’t make me feel like I’m the reason we are not together. You had my brother in your heart, so just admit it.”Instead of yelling and acting aggressive like Igor, Easton showed his emotions more clearly, and I felt guilty too. I did cheat on them, so I felt ridiculous for being so harsh on him. I thought they cheated on me, so I stayed silent when I remembered they had lied to me about a threesome.Why would they do that? If they cared about me, they wouldn’t have done it. But then again, our relationship was messed up from the start, from the moment we decided to share. There was no way to move forward with it. Nothing could be fixed between us. If one wanted to get married, the other couldn’t.

Lavender:"Why did you stalk her?" I asked, still sitting close to him. When he started to move, I backed away to give him space to sit up. He shook his head, looking exhausted."I didn’t stalk her because I was in love with her or because I was some psychopath obsessed with her. That, I’d only do for you." As soon as he said that, I felt a strange sort of confidence. It was odd, because it wasn’t something to be proud of. But maybe it was just the way he said it that made me feel special."Then why did you do it?" I tried not to let his flirting in the middle of our conversation affect me."Because her father was the only one who knew where my mother is." As soon as those words left his lips, my whole body went numb."What?" I asked, confused, lost, scared, feeling every possible emotion. It wasn’t something insignificant, yet he’d said it so casually. Before I could ask anything else, his phone started ringing. I could tell he had explained more, but now his attention shifted to som

Lavender:I had been so excited for Nikon to come back after so many days that I didn’t even notice Kenzie. I ran straight into his arms. By now, a few days had passed, and his trusted man would go to the hospital to deliver the food I had cooked for him with my own hands. I knew I was feeling something deep inside me, but then I remembered what he had said about Kenzie and their relationship. His last words were still stuck in my memory, especially when he said Kenzie’s father was the only one who knew where his mother was. That made me believe he had a reason for everything he was doing, not that he had lied about breaking up with her before. In fact, from the way he spoke, he exposed their relationship as fake from the beginning, like he had never even cared about her.His guard told me he was taking care of Kenzie in the hospital and that Nikon wanted me to believe and trust him for a while. That was all he said, and it was all I needed. Just knowing he wanted me to trust him mean

Lavender:After I told her the truth, I went to my room. And by my room, I meant the one I stayed in before marrying Nikon. But then I heard footsteps rushing after me."What are you doing?" Nikon grabbed my arm as I stood in front of the door, trying to unlock it. I had taken the keys from his closet for my old bedroom."Nikon, please, just leave me alone," I told him, pulling my arm free."No, you will be staying in my room. We have prepared a guest room for her," he said.I paused for a moment, then nodded. “Oh, right, I had forgotten—we aren’t supposed to tell our family that we married for a contract. Yeah, sure, I'll stay in your room, Mr. Nikon," I replied sarcastically, hissing the words with a smile."Your anger is justified, but please, give me a moment to explain myself," he said.I shook my head. "No, Nikon, because I realized the more you speak, the more you can convince me the sky is full of glitters. So no, I won’t let you manipulate me. Step out of my way." I hissed, n
