Chapter 67
Chapter 67
LEIGH-ARI
A 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. NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.
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 Lounge where we sat sipping our drinks softly. It was well at the beginning of December and the winter had well covered the whole land. The whir of the cold air passed harshly outside the windows of the stone tower, creating that relaxing, soothing melody that just delved deeper and deeper within oneself. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)The setting itself was very calming, the fire blazing in its stand, warming the whole lounge and making it so cozy with its soft glow.
My portrait was still hung proudly on the far wall of the lounge, almost occupying the whole wall all by itself. I remember very well when I had first laid my eyes upon it; I had been so scared, and terrified. I remember wanting to run away, and just thinking about that time made me chuckle.
Right on the spot, the boys came in following each other. Enzo was wearing a black suit with a manly coat that made him look like something that just jumped out of the magazine. His stubble was well off, trimmed perfectly to show his panty-dropping sharp jawline that ticked very hard whenever he was lost in thought. his hair was gelled neatly on top of his head, leaving his perfect, handsome drop-dead gorgeous face out on display. Verzi was clamped in a pair of black jeans, and a khaki faux fur coat on top. He also had his hair cut and styled, making him look so cute, yet dominant at the same time.
Chunk some cool ass tattoos to the mix and get the picture of what I was seeing, right in front of my eyes. A whole dang feast and more!
“Hey, Tesoro,” Enzo called out as he walked straight to me and cradled my face, then kissed m e so earnestly that wetness pooled in my panties. He then withdrew and took a seat opposite mine. Verzi came in for his kiss also but then went in by laying on the couch, placing his
head on my lap, and looking up at me.
“Hey, guys,” I said softly as I looked down at his handsome face. He was glaring at me as if he was looking at one thing he can never tire off from staring at. I booped his nose and looked u p at Enzo who was pouring wine for the three of us.
“Is everything okay? You called us.” Enzo said as he handed me my glass, and then placed Verzi’s nearby where he could reach it.
“Yeah, everything is fine. It’s all good. I just wanted to talk to you about something.(This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)” I said taking a small sip, causing my neckline to be out on display.
Verzi reached with his hand and trailed his finger on the small scar that was right under my chin on the submental lymph, causing me to flinch.
“Was this caused by the accident?” He asked in a soft voice and I smiled down at him, then trailed his bushy eyebrows with my finger. I chose not to reply to him though, that was going t o give me away!
“Hmmmm… Sounds serious. What do you want to talk about?” Enzo asked sipping his wine,
“Are you pregnant?” Verzi’s voice boomed from my lap causing me to laugh out. “No, you dummy I am not pregnant,” I replied earning myself the cutest pout ever.
“Okay, tell us then.” He said in return.
I placed my wine glass down and took a deep breath, then ripped off the band-aid:
“I don’t want you guys to feel any worse about what I am going to say. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I don’t want you to blame yourselves because none of it all was ever your fault.” Verzi abruptly tore from my lap and sat straight up beside me, silently.
“That night Lorik kidnapped me, he told me… stuff. A lot of things I had no idea about, and the ones I think you never knew the motive behind them. But one important thing you guys should know is that your father loved you two so much.” Upon hearing this, their facial expressions changed and became really hard.
“I know it all sounds like a giant crap and bullshit, but that man did love you, in his own fucked up way. During that time, all he was talking about was how he did it for his boys, how no one was going to take his boys away from him, how he would burn the world for his boys. That was the very main reason why he did all he did. I know, I know. It wasn’t all merry, I mean he kidnapped me for God’s sake and wanted to split my skull into two with a crowbar. But he didn’t. And that’s one thing that made me forgive him. He didn’t know how to love you, all these years, he thought he was doing the right thing, while in reality, he was breaking you. So I forgave him guys, I forgave Lorik even though he stole everything from me.” I paused and took a sip of wine, before gently placing it back down on the glass top of the table.
“You all have been wondering how and what happened that led me lose my memories right? I t was all Lorik. He always wanted to get rid of me because I made you guys weak.”
“And you know it’s all bullshit. You don’t make us weak.” Verzi cursed next to me, the oh-so old him coming back with full force. I took hold of his hand and threaded his fingers with mine, then kissed the back of his hand and smiled at him.
“I know babe,” I said softly before proceeding.

“That accident where Big Mac, my dad died, it was an accident designed to get rid of me.” “Holy shit”
“Fuck.”
The two of them cursed out angrily and Verzi tore from his seat, I gently pulled on his hand and had him sit down,
*Please let me finish.” They settled back into their seats.
“Lorik planned to get rid of me, not my father. But my father died because he had shielded me with his body when the car lost control and hit the bridge before busting into flames. My father died protecting me from the cruel death, and I came out with only a shearing injury that froze all of my memories. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)And to answer your previous question, this scar was indeed caused by the accident.” I smiled at Verzi after softly nudging his shoulder.
“After learning that I survived, and lost my memories, he realized I wasn’t a threat anymore because I couldn’t remember the boys who lived across the street. So he let it all go. But he never predicted that Verzi would stumble upon me and manhandle me right outside my apartment when I went out to throw the trash. He didn’t see it coming, and neither did all of u s. And when Enzo brought me here, he panicked. So much. It was only fair that he started to find ways to get rid of me as soon as possible and
then walk get done with it! He got in touch with Xander after that, and Xander didn’t help him. He could only do things all by himself. So yeah, that’s all about the accident, and memory loss.”
“He didn’t just confess that, he told me about… the raping.” I felt them freeze in their seats as soon as the words left my lips. Enzo gulped audibly as he stayed glued to his seat, and Verzi was so stoic you could prick his eye and he wouldn’t flinch.

“As I said, I am not going to hold you guys accountable for the mistakes of your father. The three of us have suffered so much because of him and now that he is gone things out, so that we can all move forward. He owes us that much, and if we don’t talk these things out now, then we are going to suffer even 10 years later, or more than that.”
“Even if he didn’t tell me, I would have still known. Because I have my memories back.” I called out and their reaction was priceless. They both jumped out subconsciously before crowding my space and began kissing me all over.
“You did?” They asked through fits of laughter and went in by hugging me so tight that I felt like I was going to break a bone or two.
“Yes, I did. I remember everything now.” I said with a grin sandwiched between their big
bodies.
“Everything? You remember when Enzo hit you with a water balloon in the face while you were climbing up the stairs?” Verzi asked before laughing out loud, Enzo threw him a death glare that tore a snort out of me.
“He did that too many times that I lost count,” I said laughing.
“What about the time Verzi stole Big Mac’s sleeping pills and spiked our drinks then we dozed off in the treehouse the whole day and night only to be woken up by police officers who were out to look for us?” Enzo asked with so much laughter in his voice. The memories flashed by and that day passed as vivid as it could ever be in my eyes. It had been one hell of a day.
“No no no! What about this one. The first time you went for your periods and Verzi came out crying saying you have a wound between your legs and it’s bleeding?” Enzo went in by embarrassing Verzi so much that I couldn’t help it, I busted out so hard that my ribs began to hurt.
“Shut the fuck up Lorenzo!” He cursed out loud and then playfully punched his brother in the guts. We continued laughing until our waves of laughter subsided and we just sat there heaving for air. I was happy, almost content. But there was still one thing I needed to tell them.
“I am not done, guys. You tackled me down before I could finish up.” I said and they all untangled themselves from me and sat upright.
“I am very happy about all the things we’ve been through. I am happy that I got to meet you and be the one you love. Being loved by two amazing souls like you is the greatest reward of all the unfortunate things I have been through. But me giving you my heart, is the best thing I could ever do for the men who love me whole. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I love you so much, guys, both of you. You are like that puzzle that just makes everything click into place. And it is funny because I didn’t love you from today. I have always been yours, heart, body, and soul. And I will always be yours.”
Their faces were so hard like they could almost sense what I was going to say next.
“While the love like yours is something I have never experienced, I have also realized that I haven’t lived my life for myself. I have been living a life controlled by Lorik, and I have been living for the two of you, not for myself. And with this, I am asking for time, I need time to
ve a little bit of ‘
me’ time without having to feel like I was robbed of something.”
“Are you breaking up with us?” Verzi asked in a broken voice that I just found so cute to handle. I pulled his face to mine and kissed him softly, just to cool him off.
“You wish! How in the black Jesus would I break up with such two hot hunks? I told you I love you, I belong to you; heart, body, and soul. So no honey, I am not breaking up with you. I
just need time, to let go of the past and focus on the future with my two beautiful men.”
“It’s handsome men, not beautiful.” He corrected causing me to laugh. I just couldn’t get enough of him.
“So where are you going to? Cyprus?” Enzo asked by my side and gently squeezed on my hand.
“That’s the plan. Maybe get back to work because I could use some OR dose now. I miss it so much.” I said smiling at him. He just gave me a simple nod in return, then his jaw began ticking hard as he thought. Ah! I love this one!
“When are you planning to leave?” He asked facing forward.
“Can we come with you?” Verzi asked with a puppy squeal by my side.
“I haven’t decided. But it should be soon. And no you are not allowed to come with me. But you can visit on weekends.” I said laughing Verzi off.
I was so glad I got that out of the way, but one thing that made me even happier was how well they took everything in. That just made me fall in love with them even further. They had been freed from their prison, now it was time to set me free!
