Twin Tormentors By RARE

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. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)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 there has never been a point in my life where I thought I would be absolutely drunk in love. But here I was, sandwiched between two big bodies that cocooned me with love, warmth, comfort and so much happiness.

With these thoughts reeling in my mind, I turned my head to my left and kissed Enzo’s head that was on top of my shoulder, then turned to my right and kissed Verzi’s. Although they loved me more than they loved their next breath, the only thing that made me miss my old life was sleeping alone on the bed, and having absolutely no leg to tie me down.

But I wasn’t complaining. I had gotten too used to having their big bodies crush me in my sleep that I found it weird to sleep without them. I faced up in the dark yet again and heaved a huge sigh!

They were going to hate me for this.

After that, I carefully and very stealthily slipped out of the bed, careful not to wake them up because all would be in vain. Verzi made a grunting sound when I hopped my leg over him, the furrows forming on his forehead. He made a small murmur in his sleep and I bet he was reining hell on someone in his dream!

“Shhhhhhhh! Go back to sleep.” I shushed gently and massaged the furrows with my thumb, causing him to relax and fall back into a deep slumber.

Phew! That was a close one.

Once I was well off the bed, I jumped off and headed straight for the shower. The clock signaled a little after 4 am and I had to be quick before they woke up. Ever since Lorik died, they didn’t overwork themselves like they used to, and they spent the rest of their time playing together or resting off. I remember one time I found them asleep in the pool, completely dozed off inside the insanely cold water. I nearly died that day. Don’t even get me

started on the flu that followed next! Three full days of laying flat because of high fever and they still refused to take meds and shots. It had been a disaster.

All of these thoughts flashed in my mind while I hurriedly washed myself. Deep down I felt like I wasn’t even going to last long away from them. I just couldn’t. I mean I was used to having a hot tattooed man- child with lots of temper tantrums and one cool gentleman who was really not much of a gentleman fawning all over for every second of my day. Even trying t o think about my days without them left a bitter taste in my mouth.

However, I had to go out there. I had to live, for myself. I had to drive my old car through the rush hour and run down the corridors of the hospital with my hospital crogs and my pager beeping like crazy. I had to go out drink with Laura on Saturdays and wake up with a shit-ass hangover laying in a pool of our own puke. Gross! I know!

Oh, how I missed her! I missed her so much I felt like I was going to lose my mind.

After putting on the clothes, I went to their jackets and fished out two ring boxes they thought I didn’t see when they sneakily shoved them in the pockets like toddlers who’d been caught stealing sugar, then opened each. A huge smile stretched on my lips when I took a glimpse of – two beautiful diamond rings, sparkling ever so beautiful under the low, dim light.

But these weren’t just any rings.

Each ring was a perfect piece that was only complete when the two were brought together. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)The first one made a small V shape with a cut diamond rock, while the other held a rock that when worn on top of the first one, created a beautiful heart-shaped diamond. The band was circled with small diamonds and the inside of each ring was engraved with the name of each twin. Well, that had me laughing! I see there was never a time I was going to get rid of them. Even if I wanted!

I took each ring out and carefully slipped them on my ring finger, where they settled together so perfectly that it looked like one ring with a double band. I raised my head and looked at them where they were sprawled lazily on the bed, so relaxed like they didn’t even want to wake up.

My heart clenched painfully at the thought of living without even saying goodbye to them. M y eyes teared a little but a quickly cursed them the hell away. I was doing the right thing, for the three of us. If we were going to live as a happy family of three, without any lingering longing and earning of something outside, then I had to do it.

I took small steps towards them and placed a long, lingering, and loving kiss on each one of them, then carefully slipped outside the room, leaving them sleeping peacefully. I closed the door and tugged on my small purse that had my passport, and my ticket for the flight to Cyprus. I didn’t need any luggage, because I was going to come back to their warm arms. I took hurried steps with my eyes lingering at the closed door behind, then faced forward after rounding the corner and quickly ran outside.

I found Val waiting for me at the end of the stairs, upon seeing me as I descended the stairs;

she stepped forward and gave me a sad smile.

“Oh come on. I am not going to die or something.” I said as I stepped on the last stair and pulled her in a hug. From this angle, I was a bit taller which allowed me to plant a kiss on her head.

“I know! But do you really have to go?” She asked with a trembling voice as she tried to fight the tears. (This novel will be daily updtaed at www.noveljar.com)I chuckled and pulled back, then booped her nose. I really can’t believe there was a point in time when I thought that this girl, would do anything to harm me. I always felt stupid whenever I thought of it. She was like the sister I never had.

“I wouldn’t be leaving in the first place. You know I can’t leave my boys in a house full of models just down the stairs now can I?” I teased causing her to grin through tears. NôvelDrama.Org: owner of this content.

“Speaking of that, I want you to keep them hoes away from my men. It’s a command from the hostess.” I said in a stern face causing her to smile earnestly.

“I will ma’am.” She said and I pulled her in a long hug.

“Don’t be gone for too long though. You do know they are going to lose it when they wake upt o find you gone?”

“More reasons for me to leave while they are still sleeping. Else Verzi would be hanging on m y leg stopping me from going to the airport.” We shared a good laugh for a good minute while picturing the hilarious scene. One thing I never doubted was how childish and crazy Verzi got to be whenever his mind went berserk. So I had to run for it!

“Remember to come back for them.” She said with a straight face, and I knew she meant it.

“I am the owner of this land, the hostess of Dark Woods and the woman to the bosses. This is my home, my land, my castle; and I will surely come back stronger.” The words reflected what was in my heart because even if I was leaving, I was going to come back running to them. Because it was in their heart where I belonged!
