Chapter 33

LEIGH-ARI

Things between the twins and I were indeed good. Although they still freaked me out at some points, I was beginning to relax around them. Except for last night when they behaved like animals. I don’t know what was the matter with them but we were just chilling and having drinks in the lounge, then the next thing I know they had pounced on me and already trying t o rip my clothes off me. I had stayed numb for a second, unmoving while I tried to grasp the situation. And when I felt their hot tongues swirling on my naked neck, I had snapped. I pushed them off me and they fell off with eyes wide as if they had no idea what had just happened. It was as if they had snapped out of the trance that clouded their thinking. To make things worse, Vernero took off right after that and I haven’t seen him since. He didn’t even come to my room for his night “watch”. Lorenzo however, stayed and mumbled a quick apology before excusing himself. And that was it. The only hateful thing was that they both left the monstrous hickeys on each side of my neck and no matter what I did to hide them, they were just way too loud.

Apart from that, all was merry, and I didn’t want that incident to destroy the little improvements we have made thus far.

But good heavens, I have missed working, so bad. This life of doing NOTHING was not what I wanted. Not what I was used to. I was well a certified housewife and if I were, to be honest, it was boring as hell. Imagine being pampered so bad that you don’t even make your own bed. Heck! I wasn’t used to all of it at all. And what was worse was that the twins insisted on it. And what they said was the law, whoever went against them suffered an unimaginable doom. So all I could do was just nod my head like a good dog and let the drag me all around.

I missed my work, I missed my patients, I missed the OR and everything about the hospital. The heavy scent of life and death swirling in the air, the faint but unmistakable stench of blood and pus seeping through a veil of antiseptic, the chloroform in the hallways, food in the cafeteria, the people running around, doctors and nurses in different robes and coats; I missed it. All of it.

The mere thought of it made me heave out a very disturbed sigh. The Friday afternoon was just like any other: Boring!

Without further ado, I walked to my closet and shrugged out of the long buggy clothes I had o n, and put on swimwear.

I left my bedroom and walked out of the west wing and headed straight to the east.

The guards quickly opened the door for me and I halted in my tracks when I saw not one, but 8 ladies having fun by the pool. Some were in the water dancing like dolphins, while some were stretched out under the sun blazing sun with sunglasses on. Why did no one tell me that there were people around this time?  

“Leigh!” A very familiar voice called out and I turned to find none but Valerie, as elegant and neat as ever. She had on a black bikini that hugged her perfect body and man, she was a beauty
