The Twin Brothers

Since the incident, Liana becomes silent. She insisted to slip into her toddler space. She always cries in her sleep making the twin stay with her and comfort her. She’s the same person. The twin misses the old her but they know what she is through right now. And it breaks their heart to see their girl like this.

The door bursts open and makes Matthias jolt up. He saw the twin with their furious look and gun in his hand. “Boys, what’s going on?” He stood up, putting down his whiskey glass.

“Where is he?” Leo asks.

“Who?”

“Your stupid son!! Where is that dickhead!?” Enzo yells.

Matthias sighs, rubbing his forehead. “What did my son do this time? I swear he never learns his lesson, don’t he?” He said. Felling stressed having this type of son but Alex is still one of his blood-related.

“He make a big mistake this time, Mat. Even you will be shocked what he did behind your back.” Enzo gritted his teeth. The old man just frowns. “Tell us where is he?”

“I swear I don’t know. He went out yesterday and I try to call him but he never pick up. I’m waiting for him since yesterday. He didn’t say anything about where he going.” Matthias explains.

Leo sighs and puts his gun behind his back. Of course, he wouldn’t answer. Or not, he will get caught. “What happened actually?” The man asks.

“Your son betrayed you and all of us,” Leo answers.

“W–What?” He frowns. “No. No, it can’t be. My son might be bad and a jerk but he will never betray me or any of us.” He tries to defend his son, couldn’t believe what they just told him.

“It’s true, Mat. He works with Damien to kidnapped Liana from us. Even worse? He’s the rat this whole time. Your son.” Enzo points out. The man falls on his seat. “And yesterday… he kill Liana’s entire family.” His tone becomes low. How much this topic hurt him.

“Wait, what? He kills Liana’s family!?” Matthias yells.

“They want to kill anyone who related to her including her foster family. Damien wants her so he t–”Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

“Hold on!! He works for Damien!?” Mat just realise they include Damien. Did he just hear his son working for that jerk!? “My son wouldn’t do that, Enzo. Even his behavior is not good.” He snaps at him.

“Alex wants to kidnap her because she is the Rosie Thaver.” When Leo says that, the man’s eyes are wide open. “Yes. Darliana is the daughter of Thaver, Mat. She’s the one who we search the whole world.”

“Liana is… Rosie–this is too much.” The man pushes his hair back.

“You have to believe us that Alex works for Damien. We know how much you love your son but you have to believe us. If you don’t, you can ask Liana herself.” Enzo spokes before turning to walk away. Leo has already gone out but his brother still standing in the doorway. “We wouldn’t disturb you for this time being. Just call us if something happened.” With that, the twin left.

The girl pushes away her blanket as she gets up from her bed. There are still dry tears on her cheeks. Her palm hands slowly wipe away the dry tears. She went to see herself in the mirror and it was not like herself anymore. Heat is all she felt right now. The door opens and Shelly pokes her head inside. “Dear, are you ready?” She softly asks.

“Yes.” She nod. She fixes her black dress before following the others.

As they arrive at the cemetery, her heart becomes heavy. She never thought of coming here because she never thought anyone will leave her. Now, she visiting her foster family’s grave. Shelly and Hower behind her, guiding. The two old people feel pity for this girl. No pain can match losing people you love forever.

Jessica is holding her engagement ring and rose flower in her hands, standing in front of Ivan’s grave. She just stare at his grave, not doing anything. But, she knew Jessica was damaged from the inside.

“Jessica,” Liana called.

“He’s gone.” The first thing she spokes. “He’s gone… forever.” Tears slowly slid on her cheeks.

“He did say something before he’s gone. He wants to say sorry for not proposing early. He wants to live with you as a wife and husband with your cat, Chase.” Liana states.

“I thought… he want to wait for more time. That’s why I never spoke about married.” Jessica chuckles sadly. “Now. He left me behind. We already I want to blame you but… you did nothing wrong.” Her grip on the ring becomes tight.

Liana just looks down. “Can you do one favor for me, Liana?” She asks. Both of them turn to each other, showing tears on their face. “Kill the person who did this. Tell them… how hurt it is losing your life.” Jessica burst into tears.

Liana hugs her and they slowly fall to the ground. She looks at her foster parents’ grave. She puts down the flower in front of it, “Thanks, mum, dad. Without you guys, I will never feel what a mother’s and father’s love feels like.” She turns to Ivan’s grave. “Bubs, thank you for being a brother to me. Yes, you are annoying sometimes but never fail to be my sweet brother. I will make sure Jessica’s safety. I promise.”

Shelly already crying in her husband’s arms. Hower already guesses there’s something with this girl. He couldn’t believe Thaver’s daughter was still alive and safe. Now, he will do anything to protect Thaver’s precious gem.

Leo and Enzo leaning in their car waiting for their beautiful princess. Then, Liana came out of the cemetery like usual, with her blank face. But, they can see broken in her eyes.

“Baby.” Enzo spokes soon she standing in front of them. He lifted her head with his fingers and there were red eyes and a red nose. “Aww, baby. Come here.” He picks her up, putting her on his hip. She didn’t waste her time but snuggled her face on his neck.

“Bring her home. She needs you two.” Shelly said while brushing the girl’s hair.

They nod and get in the car. They went toward their own house and not the blackhouse. Enzo sitting on the couch with his princess on his lap. Leo is already in the kitchen preparing some food for her.

“Baby. You can’t sleep yet. You need to eat. We notice you didn’t eat well this past few days.” He spoke, running his finger through her hair. The girl keeps escaping from breakfast, lunch, dinner, and supper. The only thing she eats is crakers and milk. But that only has the twin to force her.

“Baby?” He calls again. His hands caressed her cheeks and notice it was hot. Fever?

“They… n–never came back. Right?” Her quiet voice asks.

He knows this girl still can’t accept her foster family’s death. “I know this is hard. But, we go through this together, okay?” He kisses her head. Enzo feels her arms and hot takeover. “Oh god, baby. You have a fever.” He rubbed her back.

“Who has a fever?” Leo came with a tray of food.

“Her.”

Leo checks her heart rate and it is normal. He knows she getting this fever because of how everything messes up. “Let’s eat, yeah? Your little tummy needs food, darling.” He spokes.

The girl looks at him and saw him holding a spoon of porridge. “I know you don’t want to eat anything heavy yet so I just serve porridge for this time, okay?” He asks. She glads he understands her. She eats slowly with a warm hand on her back.

“Baby. We know this is not the right time but we want to ask you something.” Enzo asks. She just replies with nods. “Can we take your blood for a DNA check? We want to make sure you are Rosie. Even we sure of it, we just want to see.” He continues.

“S–Sure.” She said. She grabs her locket and gives it to him. The twins were shocked to see official Thaver’s locket with their sign on it. “Here. The reasons w–why I sneak out that time. T–There’s an address in h–here.”

“Little one, how did you get this locket? Where did you get it?” Leo asks.

“I–I go back to where I–Ivan found me. And… this t–thing was there.” Liana explains while scooping the porridge since Leo to shocked right now to feed her.

Enzo open the locket and took out the small paper. She was right. And it was Thaver’s home address. “Did you get in?” He asks because Thaver’s house gate wouldn’t open if it were not a member of their family.

“It o–opens after I–I scan my hand on the handprint.” She answers.

“Shit.” Enzo mumbles.

“Look like we don’t need to check her DNA. It’s obvious, she’s the Thaver’s daughter.” Leo spokes.
