LEIGH-ARI

Things between the twins and I were indeed good. Although they still freaked me out at some points, I was beginning to relax around them. Except for last night when they behaved like animals. I don’t know what was the matter with them but we were just chilling and having drinks in the lounge, then the next thing I know they had pounced on me and already trying t o rip my clothes off me. I had stayed numb for a second, unmoving while I tried to grasp the situation. And when I felt their hot tongues swirling on my naked neck, I had snapped. I pushed them off me and they fell off with eyes wide as if they had no idea what had just happened. It was as if they had snapped out of the trance that clouded their thinking. To make things worse, Vernero took off right after that and I haven’t seen him since. He didn’t even come to my room for his night “watch”. Lorenzo however, stayed and mumbled a quick apology before excusing himself. And that was it. The only hateful thing was that they both left the monstrous hickeys on each side of my neck and no matter what I did to hide them, they were just way too loud.

Apart from that, all was merry, and I didn’t want that incident to destroy the little improvements we have made thus far.

But good heavens, I have missed working, so bad. This life of doing NOTHING was not what I wanted. Not what I was used to. I was well a certified housewife and if I were, to be honest, it was boring as hell. Imagine being pampered so bad that you don’t even make your own bed. Heck! I wasn’t used to all of it at all. And what was worse was that the twins insisted on it. And what they said was the law, whoever went against them suffered an unimaginable doom. So all I could do was just nod my head like a good dog and let the drag me all around.

I missed my work, I missed my patients, I missed the OR and everything about the hospital. The heavy scent of life and death swirling in the air, the faint but unmistakable stench of blood and pus seeping

through a veil of antiseptic, the chloroform in the hallways, food in the cafeteria, the people running around, doctors and nurses in different robes and coats; I missed it. All of it.

The mere thought of it made me heave out a very disturbed sigh. The Friday afternoon was just like any other: Boring!

Without further ado, I walked to my closet and shrugged out of the long buggy clothes I had o n, and put on swimwear.

I left my bedroom and walked out of the west wing and headed straight to the east.

The guards quickly opened the door for me and I halted in my tracks when I saw not one, but 8 ladies having fun by the pool. Some were in the water dancing like dolphins, while some were stretched out under the sun blazing sun with sunglasses on. Why did no one tell me that there were people around this time?

“Leigh!” A very familiar voice called out and I turned to find none but Valerie, as elegant and neat as ever. She had on a black bikini that hugged her perfect body and man, she was a beauty

“Valerie.” I rejoiced at the sight of a familiar being. She came waltzing towards me and pulled me in a bear hug. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.

“It’s good to see you again.” She squealed and rocked me side to side.

“Well, it’s good to see YOU. Where have you been hiding?”

“I wasn’t hiding. Was just a bit busy.” She said and walked us to the small bar where she was seated earlier.

“Busy to even see me? Really?”

“Sorry. But again, I have seen you quite a few times. Remember the time they locked you in a sauna, I was the one who got you out.” She said with a wink.

“You are lying.” I don’t know why, but I just didn’t believe that.

“Okay fine. I didn’t actually get you out. The guy on duty saw that you passed out and told me t o the bosses. They got you out.” now I believed her.

“Hmmm… What’s the occasion? It’s my first time seeing… people.” I asked referring to the small party of girls.

“Nah, just a lazy Friday noon. We are having a party in the evening though, Be sure to be here. Come, let me introduce you to the others.” She wasted no time as she scooped me up and ran with me to the poolside. As soon as we were in the vicinity, the ladies gathered around.

“Hey everyone, meet the hostess of Dark Woods, Miss Leigh-Ari Montreal. She’s my good friend and we met when I was in Cyprus. Leigh, meet Anna, Crystal, Jane, Barbie, Rosalie, Bianca, Siena, and Mia.” They all sang a hi with smiles.

“Hey, guys. It’s nice to meet you.” I waved at them and they decided to engage in small talk. What I did for a living, how old I was, and blah. One of them, who was Crystal, nudged the one beside her and began whispering while stealthily pointing at me.

I began feeling subconscious about myself and bundled my arms around me. We had moved t o the shallow end of the pool and we were all just getting our lady bids soaked.

“One lucky bitch.” One of them spat calling our attention.

“Look at the hickeys, on BOTH SIDES.” She swam towards me and made it a deal to turn my neck from side to side to get a clear view of the hickeys, her skinny fingers digging painfully into my skin.

“Bianca,” Valerie warned in a hard tone.

“No shut up. Guys, do you see this? They have done you? At the same time? And how long

have you been here? A week, a month? I can’t believe it.” She scoffed and swam towards the stairs and got out.

Oooooookay?

“Don’t mind her. She is jealous because she fell from grace.” One of them, Mia, comforted.

“Fell from grace?” What in the black Jesus was happening here?

“Hmmm. She was the current bedwarmer before you arrived. For Mr. Vernero.” Valerie chimed in before sipping her martini.

“What?” I really had no idea what they were talking about.

“Okay. You don’t know this and you definitely don’t want to know, but everyone here has had a taste of one of the twins. Except for me, I have had a taste of both, but not at the same time. S o each one of the twins has “a side” which they mark. Mr. Vernero takes right, while Mr. Lorenzo takes left. See?” She pointed on Barbie who had a fading hickey on her right side shoulder spade and up to her neck. The next one to show me was Mia and then the others. True to what she said, the girls had faded hickeys either on the left side of their bodies or on the right.

“Okay. This is crazy.” I honestly didn’t know how to feel about that. At all!

“I know. But what’s crazy, well to them not me because I know how they value you, is that you have hickeys, fresh hickeys on both sides.” She pointed out and that’s when it dawned on me.

The girls thought I had slept with the guys, and that they both “marked me”.

“Oh my God.” I covered my mouth with shock,

“No that’s not it. We didn’t do anything I promise..” I defended hurriedly causing them to double up.

“It’s okay. You haven’t but you will. Matter of fact, they are patient with you. Because you are different from us.” One of them said I didn’t know how to feel about this… sure was a harem. And for the fact that they were actually cool with it? I mean hell! This was… Something else.

“No-no-no. I won’t. I won’t do it with them.”I defied quickly. I wasn’t going to be part of this, at

all.

“Maybe! But you still don’t understand your position in their lives.” Valerie said.

“I do. We are childhood friends.”

“Oh, they came clean? Finally. I was beginning to think they weren’t going to tell you. But you are not just a childhood friend to them. You are way more than that.” What?

“What do you mean?”

“The twins had mommy issues when growing up. And when they moved to Poland, they lived

across a nice and kind girl who was taking care of her father, a single parent They would see how the girl cherished her father, how she took the feminine role in the house and did everything they couldn’t do Things they craved. So they grew very fond of you. And for some weird reason, couldn’t live without you. You guys started hanging out together and you would go to their house to cook for them, sometimes call them to your house. All those didn’t go unnoticed to them. To you, it was just helping friends out, making dinner for them, or cleaning up their messy rooms. However, to them, it was entirely a different story. You were their mother, their sister, girlfriend, wife, you name it! So to put it in easy words, the twins are

obsessed with you. And they are madly in love with you. Always have been ever since they saw you.” Oh my God.

“And how do you know all these?” I asked because the twins didn’t mention any of these when they were showing me the pictures.

“I have been with them for more than a decade. I have served them for that long, I know everything about them.” Oh shit. This was too much to take in. This was a lot, like a fuckin’ lot to take in

Yes, I remembered nothing from our past, but from what Val told me, and from the pictures I saw, everything was making sense. The pictures that were marred in the hallways of the castle, the paintings of me, the stone statues, all made sense.

The twins didn’t take me as a friend, they never did. “Ah fuck!”
