"Have you ever thought about getting married, Cherry?" Ixora slurred as she took another swig of her beer.

Ixora was a bit tipsy, but then again, it was a girls' night out. They were at the bar while her best friend, Vera, was still at the club.

Cherry squinted at her twin with narrowed eyes and shook her head slowly, taking a drag from the cigarette in her left hand. "Nope. That's for losers, Crystabella. Those who can't stand on their own two feet," Cherry stated bluntly.

Ixora managed a sad smile. "I've been standing on my own since Mom and Dad passed away, but I still want to get married. I want to have kids." She hiccuped; her head felt like mush. "I just need to find someone who won't profess love one moment and then sleep with you the next."

Cherry snorted and leaned in to sniff her drink before downing it, feeling the burn down her throat. "Unlike you, I'm not interested in that fairytale called love. I just take what they offer, that's all. Men are all the same—stupid as hell. Good for sex, not for marriage. They're a bunch of idiots. I'm never getting married, not me, Cherry." She muttered, slamming her empty bottle on the table.

Ixora nodded, her words slurred, "Me too, sister, me too. But unlike you, it won't be because I didn't try. It's just hard for me to find 'The one'—to find love." She eyed her twin. "With you as my twin, I'm pretty sure I'm going to die an old maid. They can't even tell us apart." She frowned a bit. "The few men I tried to date in college, I couldn't even get past second base before you slept with them."

Cherry was tipsy herself. "Not my fault. they come to me, not the other way around. Men just hate all those other parts; they want to get straight to sex. Why do you think they say things they don't mean? Why do they even bother to learn your name? It's all about sex, baby. Love doesn't even exist, my dear sister. It's just a myth used to mess with every girl's head." She grinned cheekily. "And they all fall for it. Like good liquor."

Ixora was surprised. She was having a real conversation with her twin. That didn't happen every day. Cherry usually didn't care enough to chat; she was as tight-lipped as a sealed deal.

"Then, they end up hurt," Cherry continued. "Their poor hearts take a beating because they believed in nonsense. They put it where it shouldn't be. Why hurt yourself when you don't have to? You still get laid either way." She shook her head. "I just can't understand those lovey-dovey women. It makes me want to shove my fist down their throats when they start with all those emotional nonsense."

Ixora shook her head. Cherry was right, in a twisted way. She exhaled deeply. "You're creeped out by anything emotional, Cher. Hell, I haven't seen you cry in over a decade." Except in your sleep. But she didn't say that part out loud; Cherry wouldn't take it well.

"I hate feelings, Ix. Anything physical is fine by me...pleasure...pain. I hate emotions."

Ixora knew that. That's why her twin had been running from facing their parents' death for the past twelve years, turning cold and embracing trouble. Ixora almost said it, but she refrained.

"You just can't find love in a loveless place," she muttered instead, steering the conversation back on track.

"Everywhere is a loveless place, twin. Trust me, I know," Cherry sighed as she laid her head on the table, needing just a little rest. Just a little.

Hours later, after Vera had finished dancing and was ready to head home, she searched for the twins at the club but couldn't find them. Concerned, she decided to check the bar area, and there she discovered the twins peacefully asleep, their heads resting on the table, fingers intertwined.

Vera shook her head, observing them. No matter how intense their fights or differences, they always ended up together. They shared the same face and body but were as different as day and night, a true mirror image of each other.

As she looked at them sleeping, Vera couldn't distinguish which one was Ixora, her best friend. She approached the bar's owner, Don Dillon, and borrowed one of his vehicles to drive the twins home.

Vera managed to get them inside the house, but they were too out of it to make it to their respective rooms. So, she locked up the cozy cottage, turned off all the lights, and joined the twins in the living room.

They sprawled out on the floor, and that's how they all fell asleep, with no worries about tomorrow.

**********

Three Weeks later;

"Where are you going?" Cherry asked when she saw her twin coming out of her room all dressed up. It had been three weeks since their girls' night out.

"I'm looking for a job. I want to check if Mr. Ronald needs a new secretary, since I heard the last one resigned," Ixora replied. Mr. Ronald owned a small veterinary clinic in town.

Cherry rolled her eyes, "I don't even understand why you're looking for a job. We aren't having money troubles."

"Yet," Ixora injected. "What happens when the insurance finishes?"

"We still have our inheritance," Cherry answered, playing with her cigarette.

"When that one finishes too?"

Cherry blinked twice, as if the thought hadn't occurred to her before. "Well, I guess then, you'll be in deep shit. I'm never gonna be in money troubles."

Ixora waved her off, locking up her room. "Of course, you won't. With rich men like Don Dillon at your beck and call? So, allow the twin without such hope to go job hunting."

Cherry grinned, "Speaking of Dilly, you might not see me when you get back. I have to meet up with him later in the day," she said, daring her twin to say a word.

Ixora stilled. She glanced at her twin, then shook her head. No matter what, her twin's life was hers to live. "Just be careful, Cher."

Cherry looked momentarily taken aback. She was going to allow her to go without putting up a fight? That was a first. She cocked her head to the side and regarded her twin. "Don't worry too much," she said softly.

Ixora nodded as she waved her goodbye and headed out. Cherry's words stopped her in her tracks. "I heard old Marion's house has been occupied."

Ixora turned to her twin. Old Marion had died years ago, and none of his living relatives wanted to live in the property for various reasons. It was secluded, located in the woods, and looked like it was straight out of a horror movie.

The house had been empty for years because no one wanted to live in such a weird-looking place in the woods.So, it piqued Ixora's interest that the house had an occupant. "By who?"

Cherry shook her head, "Don't know. Just heard some girls talking about 'The New Scary Caveman in town'," she frowned. "Their nickname for him, not mine, by the way."

"A caveman, huh? Interesting," Ixora thought, her curiosity sparked. He must really be an odd character to earn a nickname like that, she concluded. "Well, since old Marion's house is just a few miles away from here, I guess I'll be running into him one of these days," she said to her twin as she turned and left the house.

***************

"I'm really sorry, but the boss is not in today. He traveled out to be with his parents and won't be back until further notice," one of the workers, a young woman appearing to be the same age as Ixora, or perhaps a year older, informed her in front of Mr. Ronald's office. Ixora also noticed that the young woman avoided making eye contact with her; she seemed scared shitless of her.

Ixora touched the woman's shoulder. When the woman flinched away, Ixora exhaled. "I'm Ixora, not Cherry, please."

The woman didn't seem entirely convinced. "Alright, if you say so, ma'am. I—I'll let you know when the boss comes back. You can leave your contact information with us," she stammered.

Ixora took a deep breath and wrote down her contact information as the woman instructed. She made sure to write her name in bold letters.

When the woman saw the name she had put down, she began to relax. "Must be the good Bella after all," she thought. She smiled at Ixora as Ixora made her way out of the small clinic.

Outside, the air was a little chilly. Ixora stopped for a moment, closed her eyes, and enjoyed the unique Castle Lore breeze. Back in college, New York had been too busy, too crowded, too everything for an air like this. It felt good to be back.

She started walking home, greeting most of the people she came across. Only when she smiled and greeted them did they relax, realizing it was Ixora and not Cherry. It didn't help that Cherry had connections with influential individuals in high places, making most people wary of confronting her or reporting her actions. Given her ability to get away with just about anything—to some extent, you would only draw attention to yourself and would have face her wrath in the future.

Her twin was one hell of a terrorist. And she had quite the reputation.

"Errm... Ixora, right?" she heard a hesitant voice ask behind her.

She turned around, recognizing him as Chris, old Bobby's son. She flashed him a grin. "Yes, it's me, Chris. How's your father?"

The teenage boy smiled, clearly relieved. "Oh, he's doing fine. It's just a little rheumatism bothering his old bones."

Ixora laughed. "Alright, I'm glad he's fine. Is there something wrong, Chris?" she asked.

The boy scratched his head. "Errm... You see, the evil Be—sorry, I mean your twin, she, errm..." He paused, seeming to gather more courage. "She owes money for a couple of beers she's been having for the past few days. She said I should take the money from you," he rushed out.

Ixora closed her eyes and mentally counted to ten, trying to calm herself. When she opened her eyes seconds later, she focused on Chris. "How many bottles are a few bottles, Chris?" she asked through gritted teeth.

Ixora closed her eyes and mentally counted to ten, attempting to calm herself. Seconds later, she opened her eyes, focusing on Chris. "How many bottles are a few bottles, Chris?" she asked through gritted teeth.

The boy started playing with his ear. "Six, ma'am."

She stared at the sky. Would it really be a crime if she just killed Cherry? God knows, her twin really deserves it!

she fumed as she dipped her hand into her bag, withdrew the money. She made sure it was complete before she handed it over to the boy. "Here you go..."

Chris was visibly relieved that the good Bella paid for the drinks even though she didn't look too pleased about it. Just the thought of going to the evil Bella to ask for payment gave him goosebumps. "Thanks, good Bella," he replied as he turned and walked back to his father's shop.

Ixora resumed walking. When she was sure the boy was out of earshot, she let out several strings of curses. "Damn trouble-making stubborn ass bitch!" she cursed, infuriated.

All the way down the road, she muttered to herself, giving herself detailed descriptions of how she was going to miam her twin.

 "Oh, how I'm going to cut off her legs and use them to beat the living daylight out of her! I'm going to pull out her eyes and sew them onto my handbag as a new design! Then, I'll cut off her pinky finger and use it to decorate our front door. After that, I'm going to...!" She stopped abruptly when one of her sandaled feet caught on a bump she hadn't noticed before, catching her off guard.

"Oh, shit!" she cursed again as she stumbled, losing her footing. When she regained her balance, she hissed in pain as she felt a stinging sensation at her toe. She massaged it; damn, that hurt.

When she became aware of her surroundings, she realized she was in front of old Marion's former house.

She recalled what Cherry had told her about the property belonging to someone else. Ixora looked around and that was when she noticed the girl standing a few feet away from the front of the house. The girl's long hair covered half of her face, but Ixora knew that behind that hair, that girl was looking straight at her.

Letting go of her hurting leg, Ixora forgot about going home as she made her way toward the girl.

    COR DEXTRAS HOSPITAL, NEW YORK. "Doctor Jake?" Jake Brown sat in his office, lost in thought, his mind perpetually dwelling on the same painful subject for months now. People often spoke of the emotional pain of heartbreak in relationships, but they rarely mentioned the agony of losing a brother and attempting to move forward. Nothing felt the same anymore, not for him and certainly not for his family. If only Jerald were still alive. "Doctor Jake?" The voice, slightly more insistent, broke through his reverie. Jake lifted his head to find Mara standing before him, her expression etched with concern. Mara was a highly competent nurse who had joined his hospital ten years ago, shortly after it was accredited and commissioned. At twenty-seven, she appeared youthful and beautiful. She had gotten married three years ago and was now the mother of a lovely two-year-old daughter named Ciara. Over time, Mara had grown close to Jake after learning the reason he had left the arm

    Cherry Silverbella Moores arrived home that evening to find Ixora lounging on the couch, looking relaxed with her left leg soaking in a bowl of water."What are you up to?" Cherry asked as she plopped down in a seat across from her sister.Ixora grabbed a pillow and tossed it at Cherry, who managed to dodge it, causing the pillow to fall behind her.Cherry glared at her sister and reached into her bag for some bubble gum. "What was that for?" she asked, popping a piece of gum into her mouth.Ixora shot her a pointed look. "Stay away from my stash, Cher. If you take beers from old Bobby's shop, at least pay for them. No need to give poor Chris high blood pressure trying to figure out how to get his payment."Cherry grinned cheekily. "Where's the fun in that?" She waved off her twin's concern. "Forget about that. Tell me about your day. Did you get the job?"Ixora let out a loud sigh as she reclined on the couch, her leg still in the water. "Mr. Ronald was out of town, so I had to leave

    "Do you really want people to think I'm your daughter, Good Master?"Jerald paused mid-dinner, his gaze fixed on Berezira across the table. "People might gossip if they find out we're not related but still living together. It could attract unwanted attention, and I don't want Mostafa catching wind of our location," he explained. "Could you call me 'Father' instead of 'Good Master'? I think it might suit you better than 'Daddy.'"Berezira nodded. "Alright...father," she replied before returning to her meal.The girl rarely spoke and seemed older than her years. She rarely left the house, and when she did, it was only to watch birds and animals in the woods nearby. She never ventured far, avoiding social interaction and even leaving the TV off. Jerald was concerned, but he had no idea how to help her. He'd faced bombs, guns, and bullets before, but a withdrawn, twelve-year-old girl scarred by a traumatic past was a challenge beyond his expertise.They ate in silence for a while until Je

    ."It's not as easy as it looks," Jerald replied with a gruff tone.Ixora couldn't help but smile at his crankiness. She held up her own bag triumphantly. "See this? I'm already done with my groceries, and I've been here less than twenty minutes," she said, sounding a bit smug.Jerald's frown deepened. "Well, good for you," he muttered, turning to go with Berezira.But Ixora wasn't ready to let them off the hook so easily. "Wait, I can help you with yours. You look like you could use some assistance."Jerald hesitated for a moment. He didn't want to spend any more time than necessary with this woman who seemed like trouble, but he also realized that he might not get through his shopping list without help from someone more experienced."Alright, thanks," he finally replied.Ixora grinned widely. "You're welcome. Let me have that..." She took the shopping list from him, and he handed her a bundle of money. She quickly scanned the list. "Looks like there are three items here that you've

    Ixora Crystabella Moores quickly withdrew her leg from the woman's handkerchief as she noticed the fear in the woman's reaction. Out of the corner of her eye, she caught the way Jerald was looking at her, and it made her heart tighten.He's looking at me as if I'm just another stranger, like everyone else. Surprisingly, the only person who still clung to her hand tightly was his daughter, Zira.Ixora knelt down beside the woman, took out her own handkerchief, and began wiping the woman's sweat-filled face. "It's alright, please stop apologizing."The woman regarded her with suspicion but continued, "I'm truly sorry—""I'm Ixora, not Cherry," she interjected with a warm smile.Relieved, the woman let out a sigh. "Oh, thank God. It's good Bella. Thank God!" She said emphatically and hugged Ixora tightly. "Thank God it's you, good Bella. I thought I had stepped on Cherry!"Ixora nodded in understanding, waved off the woman's thanks, and walked away.Turning to face Jerald, she couldn't h

    Cherry Silverbella Moores despised the beach, and even more so, she loathed the water. However, after spending half the day sleeping, she felt a growing urge to explore. Glancing down from her hotel room, she observed the lively crowd at the beach, ready for some fun. This curiosity lured her out of her room.She strolled down to the beach, carrying a bottle of red wine in one hand, a glass cup, a cigarette, and a lighter in the other. The evening breeze kissed her skin, and she relished in its embrace, her hair swaying in the wind. Dressed in just a bikini and sunglasses, she made her way towards the bustling beach.The shore was teeming with activity - women in bikinis and swimsuits, men in shorts, some already frolicking in the water, while others basked on the sandy shores. Couples played and ran around, families enjoyed quality time, and individuals lounged on reclining chairs.Nonchalantly chewing her gum, she used her keen eyes to scan every male figure on the beach, well aware

    He couldn't tear his gaze away from her as she strolled along the beach, her hips swaying rhythmically, akin to a slow dancer. Her dark hair cascaded like a waterfall, framing her like a moon goddess. Although many women graced the beach in bikinis, hers redefined the term. She was a breathtaking beauty, her body so perfectly contoured it seemed otherworldly. Jake Brown instantly sensed she would bring trouble.Jake couldn't divert his eyes from her, not even when she caught him looking, and their gazes locked. She didn't shy away; instead, she removed her sunglasses, meeting his gaze head-on. Yes, trouble indeed.Beyond her striking appearance, she exuded a fiery spirit. He had witnessed the entire scene: how she swiftly handled two women and sent the third one fleeing within seconds, all while maintaining a smile. She seemed efficient, the kind of person trained fighters needed to be cautious of if they ever crossed paths. She might lack formal training, but she knew how to exploit

    Ixora Crystabella Moores was preparing to retire for the night. After taking her shower and donning her nightie, she began the process of locking up the house when an unexpected knock echoed through the front door.Startled, she paused and wondered who could be visiting at this hour. Leaving the backdoor she had already secured, she headed toward the front door. Peering through the peephole, she was taken aback when she spotted Zira standing on the other side."Oh my, Zira..." she gasped, hastily unlocking the door. Troubled eyes met hers immediately, and that familiar, sorrowful expression in the girl's eyes seemed even more intense, as though she were on the brink of tears. Her lower lip quivered violently."Oh my God, what's wrong, Zira? Is everything okay?" Ixora inquired with concern, attempting to usher the girl inside the house. Instead, Zira took her hand."Please," she choked out, "Please, Ma'am Ixora, save Good Master, he is dying!"Ixora felt her confusion deepen. "Who is '

    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

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.

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.

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.

    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.

    "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...
