Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 46

LORENZO POV

Arriving at the castle, it took me a heartbeat to climb the stairs to the west wing. I was a heaving mess with my eyes wide open, and my nose flaring as I tried to breathe all the air I could possibly master.

The thought of what might have happened when the mines went off ripped all the air out of m y lungs. No amount of oxygen could make up for the burn inside of me,

I was fuming. But to top it all, I was weak in the knees. The fear was heady on my mind and

senses.

Upon arriving in the west wing, I kicked Ari’s bedroom door open to find it empty.

“They are in the medicine room, boss,” Raquel informed as she emerged from the closet holding pieces of Ari’s clothes.

I gave her a simple nod and took off again. It didn’t take me an age to arrive in the medicine room which was on the other side of the castle, 3 floors down.

I had had all the energy when I was coming, but standing in front of the closed door of the medicine room, I felt powerless. Feeble. I felt inanimate. Taking a deep breath, I pushed the door that slowly creaked open to reveal the inside of the room. When I got a clear view of the inside, I found her sitting with her back against the giant pillow, her right hand in Verzi’s. They both looked up and Ari gave me a small smile.

“Look who’s here.” She wiggled her eyebrows playfully.

At that moment, the relief I have never felt before, the pain that had engulfed my senses when I thought that she had died, the promises of the future, the helplessness when I thought she was gone, they all consumed me whole. Creating one giant ball of rage. Pure rage.

Without further thought, I stormed inside and yanked Vernero from his chair, then landed a strong punch right where his cheek connected with a bone. The blow took him off guard and sent him flying across the room where he landed on his ass. I charged to him again, followed by Ari’s scream
