It has been four days since their return from California. Ixora had almost fully recovered from her near-drowning experience, although she was still taking occasional prescribed medication to eliminate the edema completely."Just in case there is any fluid where it shouldn't be in her body," Dr. James had explained when he prescribed the medication, and they had expressed their gratitude.Despite Ixora's attempts to argue, Jerald had prohibited her from going to work during these four days. "I'm still on medication, Jay, but there's nothing wrong with me anymore," Ixora had pleaded with him. However, he remained adamant that she stayed at home to fully recuperate.Instead, Jerald took on the responsibilities of visiting others. He no longer treated Ixora as if she were a burden to be avoided, as he had done before their trip to California. Over the past four days, he had been visiting the twins' house, sometimes accompanied by Berezira and other times alone.Ixora had never felt so gr
Relieved, Jake responded, "Thanks, man. Mother would be so happy. I spoke with her yesterday, and she was asking when I'll be returning... when are we returning?""Tomorrow," Jerald answered matter-of-factly. He missed his parents dearly, especially his mother. After learning about the tragic fate of Ixora's mother, the longing to see his own mother had intensified.Silence settled between them, and they both understood its cause—the reason they had been putting off their departure. Jake never rushed Jerald to decide, and Jerald tried to postpone the inevitable. Yet, they both knew they couldn't live on borrowed time forever."Good morning, father. Good morning, Uncle Jake," Berezira's sleepy voice interrupted the silence as she shuffled out of her room.Jake and Jerald greeted her, watching as she disappeared outside through the back door. Jake looked at Jerald with an unspoken question.Jerald nodded in affirmation, answering the unasked question, "Of course, she's going with us. Th
They kicked off their day at the amusement park, diving into the thrill of the roller coaster, merry-go-round, and the ride in the dark.The Bella twins tossed maturity to the wind, joining Berezira in spirited screams during the intense rides, drawing curious glances from everyone in the park. The sight of two sets of twins so identical and stunning was a spectacle people had never witnessed before.On the roller coaster, they let out exhilarating screams, their eyes widening with each twist and turn. The merry-go-round brought smiles and laughter, even Cherry couldn't help but grin from ear to ear. In the dark ride, Cherry held Berezira's hand tightly while Ixora playfully tugged at her twin's clothes in the dimly lit room. Uncontainable screams escaped them when unexpected surprises popped up.After the amusement park, they headed for a beachside picnic. The men sported shorts and bare chests, while the women, overcoming initial embarrassment, embraced swimsuits with guidance from
Cherry leaned casually against the wall, a wicked smile playing on her lips as she observed her twin navigating the delicate task of explaining the onset of womanhood to a bewildered twelve-year-old.Ixora cleared her throat and made another attempt, "You haven't wet your panties, Zira. You are menstruating," she explained again to the girl, who had gone pale at the sight of blood in her underwear.Berezira turned fear-filled eyes toward Ixora, "What does that mean, Ma'am Ixora?" she asked again.Ixora sought help from her twin, but Cherry smirked, shaking her head in a 'you're-in-this-all-by-yourself' manner.Ixora sighed. She refocused on Zira, "It's called menstruation, Zira. It's absolutely nothing to be afraid of. Every woman experiences this once in a while, and it's perfectly normal."The girl shook her head sadly. "It's not normal, Ma'am Ixora."Biting her lips, she continued, "The only times I see blood come out of my body were back there... that awful place... whenever they
As Mostafa turned to look at his second-in-command, his smile vanished like the wind when he took in the expression on Armaadad's face."It's no good news now, is it, Armaadad?" He groaned, his impatience and anger evident.If Armaadad ever learned something from his master over the years, apart from wickedness and meanness, it's to go straight to the point."My lord, the assassins seem to have disappeared from the face of the world, but the truth is that they have been killed. All five of them."No expression crossed his Master's face except for the slight twitch of his jaw.Armaadad continued, "The message finally got in last night that it wasn't only the twin that was in California, My lord. The Captive and the Slave were there too."That was when Mostafa exploded. "So, my Captive and my Slave were found after months of searching but couldn't be captured!? Five assassins COULDN'T capture them!?" he raged.Armaadad scratched his ears. He too was angry, but it doesn't matter at the m
It was a beautiful night, just walking with the breeze caressing their bodies. Ixora couldn't help but gaze at the sky. "Wow, the night is so beautiful," she sighed. "It reminds me of those nights we used to stargaze with Mama on the roof of our house. Do you remember, Cher?"Cherry swallowed hard, feeling the pain that still came with thoughts of Mama. She nodded and even managed a small smile. "How can I forget? We would sit down and concentrate, trying to count the stars," she smiled at the memory. "And if that didn't work, we'd take turns wishing upon the stars."Ixora's lips curved at the memory, and then she turned to Jerald and Jake. "What was your mother like?" she asked, curious about the woman who raised these amazing men. Cherry nodded too.Jake and Jerald smiled as they walked through a quiet and secluded part. A narrow, long path separated by two pavements came into view, and they all sat down. Ixora and Cherry on one side, facing Jake and Jerald on the opposite pavement,
He glanced at Jake, and his brother just shrugged. Jerald sighed, "We're catching the first flight back to New York City tomorrow morning. Jake and I are going home with Berezira."A heavy silence fell over everything. Ixora looked at Cherry, and Cherry looked back at Ixora. Both lowered their eyes to the ground, trying to conceal the pain that flashed in their eyes simultaneously. Cherry succeeded; Ixora didn't."Well, it's not like it's a surprise or anything. I've been expecting it for a few days," Cherry shrugged, trying to keep her voice light and reluctant.It was true; she had anticipated this. She always knew they were living on borrowed time. But, it still hurt to hear that Jake would be leaving her. Days of preparing herself for the news didn't make the pain any easier."I should have known today was odd. All the fun, the laughter... God, I should have known it had a bombshell like this attached to it," Ixora said in a low tone as the news hit her repeatedly.Jerald is leavi
tunning Bella twins. They were identical in every way, and their choice of attire was absolutely captivating. "Holy motherfucking Christ!" Jerald exclaimed, his eyes wide with awe.Jerald knew his woman well, and he could see her cheeks turning a deep shade of crimson as she emerged from the room. He had never witnessed a more breathtaking sight in his entire life. Despite her shyness, she exuded an irresistible allure in that sexy outfit, and his attraction to her intensified with every passing moment. "Damn, she looks incredibly good," Jerald thought to himself, feeling his previously half-erect member now painfully stiffen.Jake, too, couldn't tear his gaze away from Cherry as she confidently strode towards the podium, her hips swaying seductively. She was a woman unafraid of her own sensuality, fully aware of its power, and she reveled in it. Jake couldn't have asked for a better partner; she was a perfect match for him in every way. His eyes openly admired her, even as his arouse
Quietly, Ixora left Cherry's room and made her way to the kitchen to prepare breakfast. She prepared eggs, bacon, cheeseburgers, and pizza. Lately, Cherry had developed a liking for pizza, which is why Ixora included it in their morning meal.An hour later, breakfast was ready. Ixora returned to Cherry's room to wake her up. "Come and have something to eat, Cher. I made breakfast.""My queasy stomach can't handle much in the mornings, Ix," Cherry replied drowsily, but she got up and followed her twin to the living room."Well, let's not forget that we're going to New York today," Ixora reminded her as they approached the dining table.The reminder sparked Cherry's memory, and her drowsiness quickly faded. She smiled brightly, saying, "Oh yeah, let's go check on our girl."They sat down and enjoyed their breakfast in silence. Afterward, they joined hands to pack their clothes and accessories into a large box.They began with Ixora, selecting her clothes, shoes, and other items, and pla
💝💝BROOKHAVEN, NEW YORK.💝💝Camila watched her daughter clean up the dining table right after dinner. A smile had been on her face since she heard about the arrival of her twin friends, and she was humming softly under her breath.Camila marveled at the change in this young girl and was very happy with herself for helping bring about that change. Her daughter was now so different from the girl she had seen for the first time two months ago.When her sons called and told her about their request for two females to come stay with her and Berezira, she was instantly curious about who those women might be to her sons, so she agreed immediately.When Berezira heard the news, her happiness knew no bounds, and that made Camila's curiosity soar to a different level. So, she got her daughter to tell her everything about the twins, which Berezira did wholeheartedly.Camila had come to know a lot about Cherry and Ixora, and although Brezira had innocently shared everything, Camila had already d
💝TOWER CASTLES IN HELMAND, AFGHANISTAN.💝💝Khalil Mostafa Ali Reza stood with his back facing the entrance of his throne room. He had just emerged from hiding yesterday and returned to his castle.He had spent the past two months deep underground. But finally, his long-awaited drug had arrived, albeit in small quantity.Viagnat. Only five small bottles of the liquid had been produced... five small bottles that cost a fortune, and he possessed all five. They would have to suffice for now because he couldn't wait for more.For the past two months, the US Army had been hunting him. He knew they were actively seeking him and would stop at nothing to capture him. However, he had kept a low profile, waiting for Viagnat. That drug was more powerful than a thousand armies.The US Army had turned this into a game, and he desired to change the rules. He knew that his captive and his twin had returned to the Army, but he still had men following their trail after they vanished from California.
Cherry emerged from the bathroom a while later, looking exhausted. She always felt drained after vomiting, and that was how she felt at the moment.But even though she felt sick, she couldn't be pregnant. She had been so careful. It just couldn't be true. No way."Where is that gray-haired quack of a doctor?" she muttered, looking around."He left a while ago. Oh, Cher, you're pregnant," Ixora said, her voice filled with shock as her eyes fixed on her twin's belly.Cherry instinctively covered her flat belly and made her way to the bed. "That old quack. I'm not pregnant, Ixora. It's impossible."Ixora wasn't really listening to her. "You are pregnant! But how could this happen? You were always the one with the condoms. You were always so careful, Cher."Cherry sighed and sank down on the bed. "Yeah, that's what I can't wrap my head around."She forced herself to think. Was she really pregnant? But how could she be when she always used condoms?No man had ever touched her without a con
Although the Brown twins didn't stay long in the Army, their reputation for strength and physical prowess during training made them well-known. As a result, they were promptly promoted to the Python Team upon leaving the military camp. The General calmly listened to Jerald's story before addressing the twins."Things haven't been the same since Operation Un-Done. It was the only mission the Python Team had ever failed since its formation, and it held significant importance. Various military agencies, such as the KGI, FBI, and Terror Corps, heard about Operation Un-Done. Some sympathized with us, understanding that not all missions can be successful. However, a few mocked us, claiming that we thought we were invincible only to fail and lose a comrade during the most crucial mission, when the US Army was expected to be the best in the world."The General paused, then continued with determination. "Although we failed the mission, I'm glad we didn't lose a member. We're thrilled to have y
💝💝TOWER CASTLES IN HELMAND, AFGHANISTAN.💝💝Khalil Mostafa Ali Reza sat with three of his most trusted drug dealers, resembling a round table where four drug dealers gathered to drink, eat, and converse in their language.They were about to arrange a drug shipment in a few days, but they hadn't disclosed the exact location for the deal. Since their near-ambush by the US Army eight months ago, they had become extra cautious."So, which part of Japan are we shipping the cocaine to?" one of the drug dealers asked in their language."To Nagasaki," Mostafa confirmed, "But that's not what I want to discuss.""What do you want to talk about?" another one inquired."Viagnat," he replied bluntly. "I want that drug Viagnat, and I want it quickly. What are your suppliers saying about the production and shipment of that drug?"They took turns answering..."My supplier said it will be ready in five months.""Mine said it will take seven.""Two months," one of them reported."My supplier estimat
After a long while, they were all seated at the dining table, eating. Jerald savored the food... Damn, he had missed his mother's cooking.Though they had grown up with a cook, their mother always made an effort to cook for them whenever she had the time."So, why did you come back from work, Father?" He asked when he finally realized his father had come home early. That was highly unusual.Williams smiled. "I forgot an important paperwork. Or rather, a paper that was supposed to be important an hour ago. It's no longer important now.""Is it a contract? What kind of deal was it?" he asked curiously."You see, I was planning to officially announce George as my successor in the company. That was the paperwork," he stated.Jake laughed. "Well, it seems like luck is on your side, Jay. You wouldn't look good in a lab coat at all," he teased."Very funny," Jerald said with a smile. "I would never want to be a doctor. That's your field, Jakey.""Stop calling me that, Jay-Jay," Jake shot bac
"Camy?" William called softly, his eyes fixed on the figure that closely resembled his deceased son.Camila understood the shock that coursed through her husband's body. It had been ten minutes since she laid eyes on her son, and it still felt like a dream. But she knew with certainty that it wasn't a dream. Their son Jerald was alive and back home.She walked over to her husband and placed her hand on his shoulder. "He's real, Will. Our son is alive, and he's back home," Camila whispered, her voice filled with intense emotions.That reassurance was all William needed, and he pulled his son into a hug. It wasn't a bear hug, but a genuine embrace between two men who had thought they would never see each other again.The papers were scattered on the ground, but William couldn't care less about them. He stepped aside, allowing one of his security guards to gather the papers."Jerald...! It's really you, my boy!" William exclaimed. Unbelievably, tears welled up in his eyes. His son was al
Camila, in her early fifties, was aware that many women her age experienced deteriorating eyesight, often resulting in the need for glasses or contact lenses.However, she had never required visual aids before because her eyesight had always been excellent. Or at least, it used to be. Now, she couldn't be so certain.The figure emerging from the car bore a striking resemblance to her deceased son, Jerald. Camila's mouth dropped open as she stared wide-eyed. "Oh my God..." she exclaimed, turning to her son, Jake, and gripping his arms. "I hate to admit it, but I think I finally need glasses...""No, mother, you don't need glasses. It's really Jay..." Jake reassured her gently.Camila vigorously shook her head. "No... It can't be... Jerald, my son, is dead. Why are you playing this cruel game with me? Giving me false hope... It's not good for me, Jakey."Tears welled up in her wide eyes as she beheld a sight she thought she would never see again until her own passing.Jerald observed hi
