The Twin Brothers

“RUN LIANA!!!”

When Ivan yells, she snaps out of her shocking conditions. She was about to turn around but someone already standing behind her. The guy punches her causing her to fall.

“Ooh, that’s too much, don’t you think?” Another voice spokes.

The guy who punches her drags her with her hair. She just crying begging for him to let her go. The guy throws her harshly. “Liana, darling. A–Are you okay?” Her mother asks.

Liana lifted her head, seeing her family being tied. Ivan had blood on his head and bruised the face. One more person is not here. She looks around to find Jessica but she is not there.

“M–Mum… d–dad… bubs.” She cried. “Ahh!!” Someone pulls her hair and kneels behind her. “P–Please… l–let my family go.” She pleaded.

“Aww, such a sweet family. Even it’s just your foster family.” That person talks. He stood up after letting her hair go and walks behind Ivan. Seeing who is it makes Liana gasp. “Surprise? Yeah, you should be.” He chuckles. Alex, Matthias’s son standing there.

“W–Why…”

“Why? Oh, little girl. You wouldn’t understand.” Alex sighs and pulls out his pocket knife. He kneels beside him. “I being treated like hell by my father. He always glorifies those two stupid twins.” He traces the knife on Ivan’s neck who already breathing heavily.

“He never trusts me. He always talks about them and never pays attention to me. I’m his son. What he did is scold me for something I never think I did wrong.” He presses the knife.

“AHHH!!!”

“S–STOP!!” She grabs his wrist. They held eye contact. “Y–Your… father love you. Y–You just n–need to c–change your attitude. H–He wants the b–best for you.”

“Best for me? No, he didn’t. What he knows is only Lorenzo and Leonardo.” Alex leans forwards. “But Damien, he always tells me I did a great job. He was in the same place as me. Where no one care for you.” He continues.

“D–Damien? You… You w–work for him?” Her eyes were wide open.

“Yes. And I enjoy my work. What I need right now is… bring you to him.” Alex smirks.

Liana frowns. “You… Y–You are the one who–”

“That’s right.” He stood up with a proud smile on his face. “I’m the one who is a rat there. Inform him of everything. Including you, darling.”

No wonder why Damien knows everything. His son is the one the betrayer here. Just imagine how disappointed his father will be. “You make the w–wrong decisions, Alex. You just… m–make the big m–mistake you e–ever made.” She glares at him.

Alex just stares at her. Then, he chuckles. “Really?”

“AHHH!!!” He swings the knife at her cheeks. Liana holding the bleeding cheeks. Ivan clenched his jaws.

“As long as I can torture that twin of yours, I feel better.” He smirks and lifted her head with his knife. “And you don’t know anything about yourself and your true parents, right?” His statement makes Liana frowns. He speaks like that as if he knows who’s her parents.

“W–What?”

“Poor, baby.” Alex shakes his head slightly with chuckles.

“Sir, everything is ready.” One man’s spokes. He just nods.

“This sweet little guy, found you abandoned somewhere.” He pats Ivan’s head. “Then, he brings you to these parents. Make you their adopted daughter.” He moves towards her parents. “Without they knowing, you are wanted child.”

Wanted child?

“Don’t you fucking play with us!! She just a sweet daughter!!” Jerry yells.

“She? Oh, Mr. Jerry. She is more than you think she is. If not, why there’s no information about her, she doesn’t have the last name or a real name? Don’t you think it weird?” Alex asks.

Her father frowns. “W–What are you… t–trying to say? I–I… wanted child?” Liana asks.

“You… are not Darliana.”

Alex kneels in front of her. “You are Rosie Thaver. The girl that everyone search for. The next heir of your father’s clan, Thaver.”

“HURRY THE FUCK UP!!” Enzo hit the window.

“I’M DOING THE FAST I CAN!!” Leo yells back.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Enzo took out his phone, calling Felix. “Felix, I want you to get our men and bring them to Darliana’s house.” He said.

“What? Why–”

“Don’t ask a fucking question!! NOW FELIX!!” He hangs up. He pushes his hair behind and panting heavily. “We should have noticed about this. How did we miss this!!??”

“Stop with your tantrum.” Leo scolds him slightly.

“How can be sure Darliana is Rosie? How do you know about it?” He asks.

“Mum said she saw the scar between her collarbone and her breast on her left. IWhen I remember again, I did say it when I bathed Liana. She told me it was a birthmark. It might be a coincidence but we can check her DNA.” Leo explains. “What’s important right now is, we have to go get her before anyone could.” His grip on the steering wheel tightened.

“Arghh!!” Once again Ivan is being kicked and tortured.

“Stop!! Please!! That’s my son!!” Anna pleaded with tears running down her face. She can’t keep seeing her son being beaten like that. Ivan coughing blood and his face was miserable. “Please…”

“Enough,” Alex told his men. “We have to go. You will come with us, little missy.” He grabs Liana’s arms.

“M–My parent!!” She struggles to fight.

“Oh them?” He chuckles. “Kill them.” The words make Liana’s heart drop. She looks at her family, seeing them already crying.

“No… NO!! PLEASE!!!”

“Let’s go, puta.” Alex pulls her.

His men pointed their guns at her family head. Each of them is helpless. No one can do anything. Not even Liana, not even Ivan who was already weak. Liana looks at her mother with teary eyes. “M–Mum…”

“We love you. Remember that.” She smiles. Her father already smiling at her.

“P–Please…” They are already at the front door even struggling. “Bubs!!” She cried.

Soon they out of the house, and she heard Ivan yells. “WE LOVE YOU, LIL SIS!! THANK YOU FOR EXISTING AND BEING OUR PRINCESS!! TELL JESSICA I GOT HER ENGAGEMENT RING AND SORRY FOR NOT PROPOSING EARLY!!!” With that, a loud shot was heard. Three shot one at a time.

Everything turns into slow motion. She bursts into tears, thinking about how this thing happened so quickly. She lost the foster family that treat her like their own blood this whole year. Never thought will losing them forever.

“Stop with the crying, women.” Alex grunts in annoyance. He is about to throw her inside the car but–

BANG!! BANG!!

Someone shot them making them dough down. Liana already close her ears and eyes, scared of what happened. Her breath becomes unstable. “Fuck!! Who was that!?” Alex yells.

“Sir, it was Lorenzo and Leonardo!!” One man answers.

“Ah, shit!”

The twin gets out of their car and shot anyone who tries to hurt them. Enzo looks around and found Liana on the ground, shakingly. He bet her smartwatch is beeping so fast right now. “Leo! Cover me!!” He said.

He runs towards her with Leo shot those guys. As she was about to reach her, someone hit the back of his head. Enzo falls on the grounds groaning. “Look who’s coming for you, princess.” Alex chuckles.

“E–Ennie…. he… w–with Damien!!” The girl told him.

“Ughh. It was you, huh?” Enzo rubbing his head. “So, you betraying your father?” He glares at him, hating the fact his son betrayed all of them without any reason. Maybe because of stupid reasons.

“Look like you guys found out about Rosie.” He giggles.

Out of a sudden, Enzo swings his legs making him fall. He pinned his body with his knee and press the gun on his head. “You must be a fucking ungrateful dickhead. Your father did everything for you.”

“You won’t understand!!” Alex knee his stomach and escaped. “Bomb this house and kill them!!” Enzo aims his gun but the men cover him. He groans and pulls Liana to take cover.

“Shhh. It’s alright. We’re here, baby.” He gently pushes her head on his chest. Looking around see Leo still fighting with those guys. “We have to go. Come on, love.” Enzo picks her up, putting her on his hip.

They run toward their car, covering the girl as much as they can. If she got shot again, he can’t handle it. After putting her in the car, he looks at his twin who busies with himself. “Leo!! We have to go!!”

Leo slowly walked backward and run to the driver’s side. “Where is Liana!?” He asks.

His brother dodges down behind the car door. “Inside the car. Get in!” Leo pushes the brake down and presses the oil. Bullet tries to get through from behind, hitting the window.

Soon far enough, something blows up. They look in the mirror and saw Liana’s house blow up. It is obvious they want to end everyone’s lives related to Darliana. Now, they know this girl is the important thing to protect.

Enzo looks behind and saw his beautiful princess still crying, closing her eyes and ears. The smartwatch is beeping like crazy. He knows, asking her to calm down wouldn’t help anything. He pats Leo’s shoulder to tell him he’s going behind.

“Hey, baby.” He pulls her on his lap. “Shhh… everything’s alright now.” His fingers ran through her hair. Liana cried herself to sleep with a warm touch from the guy.

‘We love you, Darliana.’

Ivan and her parents standing there with smiles and tears on their faces. Liana just stares at them. With that, a loud shot is heard and bullets get through their heart. Blood splashed on her face.

“AHHH!!!!” She jolted up in her sleep. Her smartwatch beeped and her panic attack come. Her hand clutched the shirt. When the door burst open, Leo and Enzo came in.

They look at her with panic. Leo rush to take her inhaler while his brother sit beside the girl and rubbed her arms. “Little one, here.” Leo brings the inhaler to her mouth to make her inhale it.

Enzo rubbed her back to soothe her. “Slow down. Everything’s okay. You are safe now.” He spoke gently.

She knows she’s okay now but it’s not the same. Her breath becomes stable. She looks at the twin and starts to panic when remembers the dream she had. “Ennie!! Lili!! W–We have to go to my h–house!! My–My parents and Ivan!!” Liana gets up.

The twins look at each other in sadness. “P–Please!! You have to h–help me!!” She pleaded.

“Baby. It… I–It not a dream.” Enzo stood up.

“W–What?”

“They… They are really gone. It’s not a dream, darling.” Leo stands beside his twin. This is the first time he shows his expression, which is sadness. Tears forms in her eyes. Yesterday, she suppose to eat dinner with her family. “Darliana…” He called again when there was no response from her.

“No… I–It can’t be.” She holds her head with tears running down her cheeks. “M–My family. They… r–really gone?” Her teary eyes met theirs.

It is hard to say the truth but they have to. Even the truth is hurt but it is better than lying. Enzo walks toward her and held her wrist. “They are. We’re sorry.” He whispers.

It hit her. She lost everything. She lost her foster family. The parents figure from Jerry’s family, she lost. Ivan’s brother figure, she lost. No one needs to call and say ‘I miss you’. Yes, they are not there not real family but they treat her like one. Everything is ending. And it is all because of her.

Liana bursts into tears, and slowly falls to the ground. “AHHHH!!!!!!” She yells in frustration and sadness. The twin hugs her tightly, letting her cry everything out.

She lost her family figure. Now, they will never break the promise they had with her father. The promise they had blood on to protect her and treat her as if something precious.

‘Even if it means we lose our life, we will do it if that makes her safe and happy.’
