Twin Tormentors By RARE

Chapter 59

VERNERO POV

“SHE IS DYING!” Valerie’s scream jolted me out of my daze pulling me to the moment. My body trembled at the sight of Leigh-Ari who laid limp in our arms, her head cradled in my blood-covered hands.

“You have to let the paramedics take her.” Someone called out pushing me to the side. I robotically stood up and absent-mindedly watched as they strapped Leigh-Ari on the stretcher, rolled it out of the warehouse, and placed her in the back of the ambulance.

The heavy sense of nothingness settled heavy on me, numbing everything from the inside. At that time, my heart stopped beating, my mind stopped running, everything stopped and I seized breathing. In that anathematized minute, I was dead. I wasn’t living. The fire burning inside me had been extinguished, breaking to the ground the very remaining stem of my being when Leigh’s body went limp in our arms.

A very weak, tired hand clasped my shoulder,

“Are you coming?” Enzo inquired in a very broken voice. My dazed ass turned and looked at him, his face was red, so flustered and his eyes were so teary like he had just cried buckets. His pain brimmed over, igniting some life inside my numb body.

I stared at him for a good minute and looked at the entrance where they shut the back of the ambulance and took off,

“No!” I whispered almost to myself. I was still trying to understand what had just happened. Because it all felt like a dream. It had to be a dream! There was no way I could have seen Leigh -Ari covered in so much blood, lying limp in my arms. It had to be a cruel prank.

“We have to,” he informed softly and tightened his grip.

I looked down at Ciello to find him steady and unmoving on top of Lorik who had a big grino n his face. The look of triumph was so evident and loud on his face. I could almost hear his thoughts and clearly, as he enraptured for his mission had rumped through.

I thinned my eyes, feeling everything flooding back in a flash. The pain, the repulsion, the great loathing, the memories of everything he has put me through, the malicious beating and revolting words he barked to me day and night, telling me I was not enough, it all came back and slapped me brutally in my face engulfing me whole. My body began trembling as the rush of adrenalin coursed through my body. I stared down at my bloody hands, the sight of Leigh’s blood caused a chill to drizzle down my spine, intensifying the tremours.

“No.You go along. I have something to take care of.” I announced with a blank face while staring down at Lorik. He had taught me to mask my emotions, he had told me that emotions were for the weak and that he wasn’t going to let his son be a pussy.

All his teachings were going to be put to use, on him.

Enzo nodded and then took off, with Valerie running behind him. I was thankful because Valerie was with him, he needed someone to hold on to. But I couldn’t at the moment, I had to take care of this, else I didn’t know how I’d look Leigh in the eye. Not after what my dear father has done to her!

“To Dark Woods,” I called out and picked the chains that Leigh was restricted in, then left the warehouse with my men carrying a very bundled Lorik and Raquel behind. They stuffed them

in the truck and I sat beside them. I needed to be near them, to feast off their fear. I needed to feed off their distress because I was going to need all the energy.

“Get me out of these chains, son.” Lorik’s horrid voice called out and I looked up to find him staring at me. He had that ‘you can’t do anything to me’ look and I so couldn’t wait to show him what I can actually do to HIM. Our dear father had always thought he was a unicorn farting rainbows and shit. He always

believed he is God and that he runs the shit. No, that was not the case. His time was over, I was the king, I was the GOD! I ran everything with my brother. Not him. And I was so going to show him all the things I have been willing and dreaming to show him.

I didn’t reply, just continued my staring contest. He didn’t deserve a word from me, and he sure as hell didn’t deserve to hear Enzo’s voice. I was going to make sure that he left this world without seeing his perfect son! A small smirk stretched up on my face, and then I wiped it off! Original content from NôvelDrama.Org.

He had no idea what was going to happen to his becursed self. Matter of fact, he knew very well that I was going to break every bone in his body, rejoice at his screams and make him suffer everything I suffered during my “remodeling phase”. The man in front of him was not his son, no he was not. His son died years ago after being left to die outside for 5 days straight, tied on a post, in the heart of winter under the biting cold where the clouds were angrily spitting cold snow.

The man in front of him was someone else.

The ride to Dark Woods was filled with him preaching of how much he loved and cared for us, of how much he would die for us. And oh heavens I was so ready to witness that kind of fatherly love. The one where the father dies for his sons.

I wasn’t listening to his rumbling, I just stared at him, face void of all emotions. Raquel was as still as death next to, barely breathing. I was glad she knew what was go feel the fear reverberating heavily from her. As our biggest mercenary, she had witnessed how the traitors were dealt with. Although she hasn’t seen the real story behind ‘Dark Woods’ unfold, she had heard them saying.

I had trusted her for keeping Leigh safe because she has never done anything that made me wary of her. Gosh, she was one of the baddest weapons we had in Turantello. But her time was over, her ride had come to an end; because she had just double-crossed me in a way I

could never think.

I didn’t want the details, I wasn’t going to waste my time trying to find answers as to why she did what she did. No!

Upon arriving at Dark Woods, I jumped out of the truck and had my men bring the two piles of shit down to the dungeons.

The place was my favorite in the world. The stone walls carried the screams and multiplied them by a hundred, creating the echo that rumbled deep within me, feeding the beast ins me and boosting it with so much energy. The more they screamed, the more I got excited.

We arrived at the foot of the castle and Ciello and the rest of the guys dumped the two shits down, strapped them on St. Andrews cross, and then left without saying a thing. I looked up at Lorik and flexed my muscles, for it was about to get down!
