Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 35

LEIGH-ARI

The rest of the night was spent with the guys dominating my room with their noble presence, not wanting to leave even for a single second. In the end, I had to let them have their moment because fighting them was futile. They were like clingy toddlers. At least Lorr whined out loud, he mumbled and made funny sounds of disapproval when I stood to chase them out, but his twin, Verzi just pouted and went about with his business without sparing me a glare.

I have never seen such a thing ever. It was as if they had turned into different people, while still managing to be themselves. As much as it infuriated me, I found it amusing. And by now, I was used to them. Honestly. And I had long given up the idea of ‘personal space’. They did not know that term! At all!

After trying to kick them out and losing, I went to bed and they wasted no time climbing in on both of my sides, each taking their respective side. They didn’t budge or do anything, just crawled next to me and in a split second, their hot purrs were puffing up my neck, warming m e all night long

I laid still with their heavy heads resting on my shoulders, my mind retreated to the events of today. From finding out about the harem to discovering that the twins are not straight in the head. They truly weren’t! And the little friend I made today by the pools, such a sweetheart. She was only 8 and was going to one of the biggest private schools in town. She told me that his daddy disappeared and uncle Vernero told her she’s a princess and she will be living in the castle.

I didn’t need to be told to know how her father ended. It was right in front of us that he died in the hands of Vernero, but what warmed my heart was that he didn’t leave the little sweetheart to fend for herself. He took her under his big wing, and now the girl is living the life of her dreams. It’s unfair that her father was killed, but then, the word fair didn’t exist in Cattanio’s world. At all.

The last thing on my mind before sleep swallowed me was how happy I was with their annoying beings. In some weird crazy way, the twins made me happy.

The morning came by and I woke up alone on the bec. None of the twins was in bed and from how cold the sheets were, it was safe to say that they left during the dinosaur era. I yawned peacefully and got out of the bed for a small stretch. My arms felt like I was in a sparring match with none but Dwayne The Rock Johnson and he did a very good number on me.

Right when I was about to walk to the bathroom, there came a soft knock on the door.

“Who’s it?” I asked through yet another yawn.

“Ciello, ma’am.” What’s up so early?

“Come in Ciello.” The doorknob turned and the mountain heap of a man came in followed by a little lady behind her. She didn’t seem to be older than 30, and she was in a good shape. Good makeup, good curves, and posture.

“Ma’am, please meet Raquel. She is your personal maid and bodyguard. She will be at your disposal 24 hours in 7 days.” Wait, what?

“Huh? I didn’t ask for a maid. I am pretty fine with no maid and…”

The drive to the airport was filled with me preaching of how Vernero was going to cook them in a pot of a green concoction with the rest of the scary spiders. But none of that talk made them change the direction and drive me

How did I end up in a man’s shirt? Just how? And I was barefoot! I didn’t even get a chance to put them on before Ciello whisked me and ran away with me. I didn’t even brush my teeth.
