Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 27

VERNERO POV

Sitting in my big leather seat in my office, my eyes were glued to the desktop screen in front o f me. The red dot moved from the spot where Dark Woods layed until it reached right within the city.

I reclined into my seat and watched steadfastly as it went round and round in circles, assumingly from this shop to the next! Just when I thought things were going to be less… fascinating, the spot took off hurriedly and ran in a different direction.

A smirk pulled up on my face and I leaned my arms on the table and watched it, things were about to get interesting!

A sudden vibration of my phone pulled my eyes off the screen; it was Ciello. I clicked on the

receive button and placed the phone on my ear:

“Boss, I am so sorry. I lost her.” Ciello rattled in the speaker causing me to deepen my smirk;

“I know!” I replied shortly, my eyes moving back to the screen, the dot moved in the direction o f the police station and I couldn’t help but swell up with pride. My girl was no dummy, that girl was wholesome with brains.

“I am so sorry boss. I went to the bathroom and she was just here in the dressing room, and then when I came back she was gone. They didn’t see when she took off. I just…” He began cursing in Italian causing me to laugh. My little Tesoro got him nice and well. As expected of the woman I love!

“Don’t worry. I know where she is.” I informed before ending the call and reclined yet again in my seat, watching as Leigh-Ari explored the streets of the ancient, golden Rome.

LEIGH-ARI

We arrived in town shortly and stopped at the largest shopping mall. Ciello was like a bodyguard walking a good distance behind me while busying himself with some things on the side. I took that he didn’t want to engage in any chin music with me so I went with the flow besides; that was a great advantage if I was going to escape. Imagine having to ask him t o go somewhere so that I can slip off while he wasn’t watching. Sucks!

We walked round and round in the mall, jumping from this clothing store to the next! The budget was unlimited and I made sure to hurt their wallets just a little to make them bleed; since they had so much money in the world! I opted for the most expensive items, shoes, and useless shits I didn’t see myself wearing! Frankly, none of the things I bought were my taste. They were too flashy for my liking but then who cares?
