It has been a few days since Verzi’s last seizure attack. And luckily this time, no one was killed because they saw him during his vulnerable time. Seeing him like that, helpless and very vulnerable, that always made my heart clench painfully. But what made me want to yank my hair out of my scalp was the fact that he was steel-headed by keeping everything that has happened to himself.
All I wanted to do was share with him his pain. I had no idea of what our father did to him during the time he took him away from me. Before then, my brother and I were inseparables, we were the shadow of the other and shared everything. There were no secrets from us. But after that, Vernero was a whole new person. That was seen through things he did. It was safe to say there was something that happened, something that made him lose his mind.
After his last seizure, I had calmed him down by informing him that the Roberts had called. The Roberts turned out to be Leigh&

LEIGH-ARI POVDriving home from the doctor’s appointment felt serene. I was relaxed from head to toe and the usual painful pounding of my head was gone. I was listening to smooth slow music as I swerved and maneuvered through the heavy evening traffic. At long last, I arrived outside my flat and packed the car, then rode the elevator to the first floor where my apartment was.Upon arriving on my floor, I realized a whole new commotion of gazillion boxes stacked and piled outside the flat opposite mine. Curiosity had me walking stealthily and sneaked a peek inside. There were orders barked from the inside as a feminine voice commanded some men to decorate the house however she saw fit. One, I was happy that I had a new neighbor. Two, I was nervous as to what kind of a person she would turn out to be. Right when I was about to leave, a voice called out; telling me I was caught red handed:“You can come in. I might need your help with all these.”

VERNERO POV “Boss, we got him!” Marcelo announced peeking through the slightly opened door. I raised my head and there he was, with that smile that he always wore when we were about to skin someone alive or roast them. The look on his face pulled my own lips in a lopsided smirk, because I knew the shit was about to go down. “Now that's the best news I’ve been waiting for!” I called out getting up from my giant ass chair and rounded the table, exited my office with Marcello by my side. We walked down the stairs with him filling me up with the details of what had transpired during his hunt for the imposter. I was rather disappointed to find out that it was one of my trusted men who just decided to go behind my back. And betrayal was one thing I never knew how to handle or stomach! I never spared anyone who betrayed my trust! If I did, then I would be the weak kid my father despised. I got rid of that child a millennia ago and I wasn’t going to revive him. The o

LEIGH-ARIThree full days passed and my new neighbor and I continued our newly formed routine. I would wake up in the morning and go to work, and then come back at night to have dinner with her. Laura joined us two days back and like I, fell in love with Valerie. She was such an open, easy-going person that made everyone feel comfortable around her. Although she was way too classy and fancier than us, she was really a nice person.Last night we had plans to go out for drinks, only to pull an overnight shift. I had an 8 hour surgery and by the time I left the OR, I was just ready to hit my bed on the bed and get done with the day. I arrived at home to find her preparing to leave.“I am just going to pick my boss from the airport. I will spend the night here and fly over to Italy tomorrow morning.” She explained when I looked at her questionably.“And you dress like that when you go pick your boss? From the airport?” I gestured to he

LORENZO Arriving at O.X Apartments from the airport took approximately 30 minutes. Upon our arrival, we settled the tenant verification process and rode the elevator to where the apartment was. Valerie opened the door for me to enter but I couldn’t help embrace the one across mine and breathe it in: it felt like I was breathing her! Not the door, but her. I closed my eyes and leaned against the door frame with my front, then gently caressed it. Just right beyond this door; she was in there! “Come on in boss. You look like a freak when you do that!” Valerie teased causing me to unglue myself from the door and enter inside my apartment. I was actually gobsmacked and awed by how neat and clean the place looked. The colors were well coordinated, from white, to gray and black! I guess Valerie was highly used to Verzi’s OCDs. I walked around taking in the place, and I was actually in love with it. Compared to the Dark Woods Castle, this seemed rather uncomfortably

LEIGH-ARIThe day rolled by quickly and at some point, I had to drag myself out of bed and begin with the affairs of the day! When I checked the clock, it was well after 3pm and I casually shrugged. So far there have been no calls from work and I was highly thankful! There was nothing that made me want to crawl into the earth than being woken up from a very restful sleep and being told you have to go to OR; then spend yet another 6 or more house on feet sewing someone close.It was good to save lives yes; but good heavens was it tiresome!Laura called in to check up on me and filled me in with what had happened with her boyfriend. She sounded so down and I knew I had to be a knight in a shining armor and cheer her up. I cleaned up quickly and did a few house chores, placed things accordingly and bathed up well. By the time I was done, it was right after 5 and Laura was about to leave work.The plan was to go spoil her at some bar and get a few drinks, and

LEIGH-ARII worked throughout the day getting ready for the annual ceremony and before I knew it, Laura and I were driving back to my apartment. She was staying for the night and I was rather happy to have her. I loved Laura so much; she just got to me without even trying. We joked a lot, cried together, dissed people together! She was my human diary and I appreciated everything about her.“So how do you think the boss neighbour looks like?” She inquired jiggling her eyebrows! I looked at her and then busted out; then focused my attention back to the road!“I don’t know honey! He’s probably a guy in his 40’s, with a head that’s already balding, a very ugly goatee and a pot belly!” I replied causing her to double over with laughter. I joined her and giggled along at the idea of an old guy, with a big belly!“There’s no way Valerie would be involved with such a guy I mean dah! Have you seen her? Sh

LORENZO Once I was behind the safety of closed doors of my apartment; I let loose. I clutched my stomach tightly and laughed! I laughed so hard that I had to crawl to the couch and plant myself face first; then continue laughing! Never, in my wildest dream had I imagined that my very first encounter, after a decade, with Leigh would be that way! Man she was feisty! Holy pregnant cow. I reached for my phone and quickly dialed Verzi, he answered on the third ring and began chuckling as soon as he read my mood! “I am listening!” “You won’t believe what just happened!” I cackled as I heaved out for air. I spent the next 20 minutes explaining to him about what had just happened. How Leigh even had me take off my t-shirt just so she sees that I really wasn’t Verzi. We laughed so hard and I was really happy! I have never laughed like this in my entire life. She had been scared yes, at the same time; she was trying to put the brave facade. Lik

LEIGH-ARIThe following day, Laura and I got up early and piled up into my car and left for work. Before leaving, we had tried to catch even the slightest movement from the apartment across the hallway; but came up with nothing! And that meant one thing:My neighbor spent the night at the police station.Although that was rather unsettling, I felt like maybe I did what I had to do for my safety! Yes I was guilty, especially because the guy now, different from the guy previously. However, they weren’t that different. The only thing that was different this time was the lack of tattoos and gunshot wounds and scars. But from there, the voice, the physique, everything screamed the tattooed guy I met that day! And I really didn’t believe that it were two different people! Yes there were lots of coincidences in this life but come on guys! How can someone be a spitting image of someone and not know that particular person? I mean the guy is an absolute replic

VERNERO POVI was sitting on one of the couches in our bedroom flipping through channels, ever so relaxed after a long day. My mind drifted back to when Leigh messed up the gun training so bad, but I had found that so cute I couldn’t bring myself to tell her to stop. Had it been anyone, they would have been six feet underground for wasting my time. But watching the determination on her face as she aimed the target, only to miss it so terribly or just continue pulling the trigger without the gun going off; that had been the highlight of my day.Right when I was lost in thought the door slit open and in came Enzo whose eyes found me first.“Hey, bud.” He said warmly and walked towards the couch where he plopped himself next to me and stared at the TV with me,“Rough day at work?” I inquired staring at him,“Not really. Why are you alone in here? Where’s Tesoro?” he asked with his eyes still glued to the TV.“She's mopping and sulking in the bathroom. Refused when I t

EXTRACTED FROM CHAPTER 69 LEIGH-ARI“The bosses are going to love the little transformation. It looks so good on you. Right baby?” Val called from the passenger’s seat before gently squeezing Ciello’s hand that was rested on the gear lever and looked at him dreamily. I smiled from the backseat where I was sitting, watching the little interaction between the two little birds that were just so in love with each other.“Definitely. That little taint looks good in her hair.” Ciello replied with the little knowledge he has in woman’s beauty espionage causing me to guffaw with peals of laughter.“They are called highlights. Not taint. But I think they are going to bite my head before really accepting that I did a little change to the hair. And just know you will carry the blame if they complain about the length.” Following the recent rundowns, Val had asked me to join her on a spa appointment which was way too tempting to deny, so I had pleaded with the guys w
Twin Tormentors EPILOGUE
EPILOGLeaving Dark Woods felt so foreign and oddly queer that I felt like I was leaving the biggest part of me behind. I couldn’t help but steal glances as the cab that Val had gotten me stretched further and further from the castle, and I didn’t understand why my heart hurt so painfully when I was actually doing the right thing for the three of us. Surprisingly, Dark Woods had grown on me so much that it felt like home, and one always cried when leaving home. I wanted to laugh because I used to resent this place so much, but now I was in pain for leaving.Was it because I left without saying goodbye? Was it because I didn’t even see the look on their faces when I turned my back and left? But this wasn’t a goodbye. It was not! And seeing the look on their faces would have shattered me into pieces and I wouldn’t be leaving, that's why I sneaked out when they were still sleeping. I glanced down at my finger where two rocks that became one were nestled so big and proud. A sm
Twin Tormentors Chapter 69
LEIGH-ARI The morning rolled over more quickly than I anticipated and I found myself thinking of my life before and after I came to Dark Woods. It has really been a crazy, epic ride. From being a straight-A student and putting on the dang long coat, being addressed as Dr. Montreal and doing what I loved the most; to being kidnapped by hot ass dudes who are insanely obsessed with me, claiming to be my men, and then being locked in the steam and triggering the mines that nearly split me open, I mean heck! My life was indeed one for the books.But one thing I gained in this crazy dissension of hearts and guns was the love I had never fathomed possible. Love that consumed me whole and made me feel so strong and bold like I could take over the whole world. Love that burned so fiercely deep inside me I felt like I would combust at any moment. The Cattanio twins gave me that kind of love, and I could never ask for more. They made me feel so complete, and that's crazy because the

LORENZO POV“Did we really have to do it ourselves?” I asked glaring around at the busy-as-shit mall where people were milling for Christmas shopping. Christmas was just 2 days ahead and the whole town was fully packed with people. I don't know why today of all days, but Ari insisted we came to get some gifts for ourselves and do a little bit of shopping. And by gifts, I didn’t think she meant a thousand shopping bags in a cramped shopping mall where you bumped into a person every second and breathed in their stinky sweat.“Yes. It is called living.” She replied from across me and reached out for my hand. I quickly stretched my hand out and she squeezed it mellowly, surprisingly calming me down. I wasn’t expecting to be so anxious to be out in public with just her and Verzi, not even a single guard in view. But If you asked me, it was truly thrilling to be living like normal civilians. It was safe to say we were missing out on a lot of things!Right when I was still lost in
Twin Tormentors Chapter 67
LEIGH-ARIA full week has passed since that incident. After receiving the old Verzi in my heart and soul, we had pulled ourselves from the heap of limbs off the floor and took a very steamy shower, things really got heated right away and they were too good to even think about. Fast forward, we made love the whole night and I can tell that the puzzle was complete.And from then on, the change in the boys was very evident. It was as if this whole weight was lifted from them, and they were so light on their feet and bodies. Verzi smiled and laughed often, he was the happiest version of himself, and Enzo, my big guy was also on cloud nine. Lorik had been the force that weighed them down for so long; for so long that they just stopped living, and just existed.And now; things were so different!And because of that, I felt like it was time, I felt like the time was right to tell them what I needed to tell them. With that thought in mind, I called them out to the Tower Loun
Twin Tormentors Chapter 66
LEIGH-ARIThe nauseating stench of burning flesh had reigned through the night in Dark Woods, making my bones clutter and tremble from underneath my skin. I had known this day was to come, I had known very well that he was going to pay for all he has done, and I wasn’t against it! Lorik had it coming!The only thing that unsettled me the most was what his death might do to my boys. I feared for them that they will lose themselves, for as much as it was so weird and very hard to believe, Lorik was their father!Yes they didn’t have the best relationship but the blood ties, that blood running through their veins was Lorik’s, and as much as I wanted to sweep the issue under the rug and be glad he was out of their lives, I was scared. Scared for them; but mostly, scared and terrified for Verzi.I didn't even want to being to think what he was going through when he ended Lorik's life. I didn't want the details, should he want to share with us how he did it then we'd sit besid

VERNERO POVA wall-shattering scream tore out of my lungs, as my body sunk into a deep bottomless sea of cold water. I watched as the air leave his body, his soul departing with his black eyes still glued to my face. For the very first time since I have known my father, this was the time he looked at me with fatherly love, the one kind I have longed for, for as long as I can remember; and my heart hurt so much. I didn’t understand it! Why did it hurt so bad? Why did I feel weak in the knees for killing him while it has been the one thing that I have dreamed of?Tears streamed down my face as I turned the dagger, eliciting a squelching sound as it tore deeper and deeper through his heart. He was dead already because he wasn’t moving. But his eyes were as open and as clear as day! I screamed! God, I screamed so hard that my cry made the walls of the dungeons tremble.With a very defeated body, I slowly pulled the dagger from him, and then robotically watched as it dropped

BONUS CHAPTER 1LORIK POV“I forgive you.” The words charged at me like a sharp dagger that gatecrashed through my heart leaving me breathless. Heat rose from my neck and settled just right above my head, creating a cloud of intense self-loathing that made my ears deaf. With blurred vision, I watched as she slowly sashayed out of the damp dense cellar where I was chained.My eyes followed her movements until she was out of view. My mind reeled with all sorts of thoughts recalling all the evil things I have committed. She had forgiven me, despite everything I had done to her. She forgave me and bathed me clean, after being tortured by my son for how long... Heck, I didn’t even know how long I have in here without food, water, let alone taking a bath. I reeked of death and all the things I have done in my past. Vernero always brought him a small bite of protein bar just to keep me alive, nothing more than that. I was famished, my throat so patched it felt like it was burn
