LORENZO POVThe drive back to Dark Woods was haste, very rushed and Verzi stepped on it like he was chasing the wind. The silence was heavy in the car, the tension so thick you can cut it with the steak knife. Only the hard, savage pounding of my heart could be heard.Leigh-Ari hated me. And I got myself to blame for that. She was right about everything she spouted and yes I deceived her and disguised myself as someone else. Someone kind, loving, decent and cool. I took advantage of her memory loss and played her because I was just as shrewd as it gets. I was selfish, inconsiderate, and very possessive of my own shit!And I did what I did because I had to. Is that too much to understand? I did it because I had no choice. She belongs in Dark Woods with us. Not in some small crappy and tiny apartment in Cyprus.She belonged here, with her two men. Why couldn't she understand that? Why run away from us as soon as she arrived here?I turned to look at her to find her

VERNERO POVIt was a little after 7 when I decided it was time to leave Leigh's room. She was sleeping soundly and I felt like watching her was just going to disturb her peaceful rest. Enzo had long gone, left me to myself as I insisted on watching over her.Somehow just sitting here, watching as she took small peaceful breaths gave me a sense of relief, made me forget for a minute how badly I fucked up. I didn't want to put the blame on anyone or anything else. It was with my ignorance that she passed out. Had I checked the system well, things wouldn't be like this. The harder I thought about it, the more I felt like I needed to skin someone alive,With that, I left.I went straight into the monitoring room and checked the surveillance. I had to be sure of what happened. And if someone actually dared to turn up the temperature... Oh Lord, help them!To my surprise, there really was no one. The only people who went to the sauna today were Enzo, and me. Even Valerie sa

LEIGH-ARIThings 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 to 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 t

LEIGH-ARIThe 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 i

LEIGH-ARIThe morning sun streaked across the room, it's light harsh on my eyes. I gave out a big yawn and willed my heavy eyes to flutter open, but they seemed to have been shut closed. After rubbing them for a good minute, I pried them open to take in the most lavish bedroom I have ever seen in my life. The bed was humongous, the rich white velvet headboard cradling my back comfortably like a throne. The side table matched the headboard, with round lamps decorating them nicely.From across the room was 118inch flat tv mounted to the wall, breathing loudly and heavily for everyone to see.The lounge area sat proud and silent just a few feet from the bed. The door on the right folded open and in came Vernero fixing his suit coat. His eyes landed on me and his features softened, just a bit before he wore his usual scowl."You're up." Aha! So much like him."Yeah. I had a good sleep." I replied and he rewarded me with a simple nod."Get ready." He announced and exite
