Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 45

Chapter 45

LEIGH-ARI

Days flew by and the secret grew heavy in my chest. With each passing second, I weighed my options and the pros and cons of telling the twins about Xander. It was just way too much. But I had decided against it when Xander took four full nights without visiting.

Maybe he had found whatever he was looking for. Because he just disappeared without much of a word. But still, I felt guilty for carrying all this by myself. Xander was the twins’ enemy, and he wouldn’t waste a chance to destroy them and vice versa. The twins had to know.

At the same time, I feared for what they would do to each other. It was their world, it was what they did, what they knew. I get that very well. But I wasn’t going to allow any bloodshed. Not under my watch.

So instead of telling the twins, I decided to put on my smallest bikini and sunbathe by the poolside just right outside the west wing.

Raquel was also with me and the other maids were dismissed. We were sitting in a very comfortable silence, with me staring at the blue sky with milky white clouds.

The protective glass house shielded us against the harsh autumn wind.

I shifted into a more comfortable position and my eyes landed at the thick heavy forest just ahead. Without further ado, I called out

“Raquel?”

“Yes, M’lady.” She was by my side in a split second.

“What is in that forest?” I asked the question with my eyes glued to the heavy trees that had their leaves already falling. The brownish-yellow hue marring the ground, birthing a false classic view of a very flat plateau on a nice spring day, full of bright colors.

When there was no answer, I glanced up to find her chewing on her bottom lip.

“It’s nothing, M’lady. Beyond the forest is the border of the castle. Then nothing.” She said refusing to look me in the eye.

“Hmmmm. Have you been there? Beyond the forest?” I asked staring right into her eyes.
