Chapter 34

LORENZO POV

After the jaw-dropping divulgence, things between Ari and us became vague, more fun, and more unrigorous. She laughed often when we were around, didn’t try to run from us like she used to. She was bubbly and very easygoing, just like how we have always known her.

That made going back home more anticipated. Every time I clocked off, there was a jump in m y step, the happy dance I did when Verzi gave me small updates about her days, about times she has slipped into ‘forbidden areas’ while she thought no one was watching, when she explored the castle. Everything was going so well it felt like a dream.

Like every other evening, driving home was done in haste, hurrying so that I could see her in her full glory, smiling and laughing with everyone she met. She was just so kind, so beautiful, and just so warm, even to people she didn’t know.

It was safe to say that people at the castle adored her for her nature. Well, not the girls because they had this belief that she stole us from them. But apart from those bitching around, everyone loved her. 2

Upon my arrival at the castle, I realized how empty it was inside, and the loud music that came from the poolside on the east wing told me where everyone was.

I hurried to our wing to look for Ari but her bedroom was empty, which meant she was down a t the party also. I yanked off my tie and left my suit coat in her bedroom, and then walked to the east wing.

The doors were open and indeed everyone was this side having some fun. Spotting Verzi was easy because of our twin bond, so I just felt where he was and walked there, to find him

sitting down with Ciello and some of the guys.

They cleared a chair next to him where I perched myself and looked down by the pool where Ari was playing with Eight’s daughter.

“Everything good?” I asked with my eyes glued to Ari who was laughing hysterically with the little girl. It always killed me how she made everything so easy, how she was a natural with everything and everyone.

“Hmmm,” Verzi replied shortly sipping on his whiskey. “Anything I should know of?” he was being weird and I knew something was bugging him.

“We have to fly down to Dubai.” Okay, now it made sense.
