The Twin Brothers

A punch flies on his face. He wipes the blood on his lips. The girl is about to punch him again but he holds her wrist. “It will make us easier if you agreed to hand over the clan,” Damien smirks.

“Never.” She swings her legs. The guy turns her around and twisted her arms. “A–Ahh…”

“You’re just a freshman. You don’t know anything about the mafia.” He whispered harshly.

“Even I don’t… I wouldn’t misuse power!!” Liana grabs his arms and pulls him in front. His legs swing under her causing her to lose balance. She falls to the ground.

“You see that?” He points at the bomb which sticks on the wall. Her eyes were wide open. Is this guy loves explosion or what? “If I lose, none of you can win.”

The timer going backward. They only had 10 minutes left.

Damien is about to hit her but Leo kicks him. He grunts holding his rib and turns to him. “Oh, now the hero is coming.” He chuckles. Leo stands in front of her. “I should have killed you guys when I got a chance.”

“Stop, Dam. You wouldn’t get what you want. You know that.” Leo glares at him. The girl behind stood up slowly.

“I wouldn’t stop until I got what I want.” He swings his legs but Leo dodges it. While they fighting, Liana looks around to stop him.

She saw a big window with broken glass. She glances back at those two guys who fight each other. “Andy, is heavy water down here lead to somewhere safe? I–I mean… to the mainland.”

“I’m not sure about that, sweetie. But why are you asking?” Andreas asks while packing his gun stuff.

One man was about to hit Liana from behind but a sniper shot him. She know it was Andreas’s men. “I… Umm…” She standing near the broken window. The heavy water made her tremble a little.

“Sweetie, Liana. Don’t tell me you will do what I’m thinking right now.” Andreas’ tone becomes stern.

He doesn’t know how much she hates doing it and is afraid of her height. But, if she doesn’t do this, it wouldn’t settle down. The guy named Damien has to die if they want to live peacefully.

As long as that guy breathing, he will do anything to ruin their lives. And that’s a promise from him. “I have to Andy. I promise to myself to end all of this. With my hand.” Liana looks at the two guys.

“Don’t you think what the twin might think!?” He asks. She bites her lips. Without any words, she takes off her earpiece and throws it away.

Damien slams him on the wall, “YOU WILL NEVER EVER STOP ME, DICKHEAD!!” He stabs Leo in the stomach. Enzo who saw it froze on his track. His grip on the dead men loosened.

“Brother!!” Enzo yells.

Before Damien could stab him once again, someone jumps on his back. Liana wrapped her legs around his waist tightly, while her arms around his neck. “What the fuck–you bitch!!” He stepped back. She tries to lead her to the big window.

She gazed toward the bomb. “Cara!! Defuse the bomb!!” Cara turns her towards their leader than to the bomb. She nods and rushes towards it. Of course, Kelvin and Alfano protect her.

“Liana!! Stop!!” Leo holding his bleeding stomach with Enzo’s help.

Damien struggles to push the little girl that is attached to his back away. She looks behind and this is it. Its water. It wouldn’t hurt, right? If it means she will die after this, at least she kills people who kill her loved one.

The twin who understands what she trying to do freaks out. Enzo stood up and ran towards her. But, it was too late. Like a slow-motion, with one more pull, Liana and Damien fall. Enzo’s hands couldn’t grab them. Her emerald doe eyes stare into his as she falls.

“No. No-no-no.” He steps backward. “Defused that bomb. Adam and Felix bring Leo to the car and treat him.” He is about to walk passing Leo but someone grabs his wrist.

“I have to find her also.” Leo narrows his eyes on him.

“You lose too much blood brother. Please, stay back.” He pleaded. Afraid of losing his twin.All text © NôvelD(r)a'ma.Org.

“But–”

“Please, I begging you Leo.” Seeing Enzo’s teary eyes, he gave up. He knows his brother is worried about their little princess.

Leo nods. With that, Enzo walks away.

“Cara, can you defuse it!?” Asher asks.

“I’m trying!!” She replies. There are too many wires and it is colorful. Her jaw-dropped. What kind of bomb is this!? “What the fuck is this!?”

“Can’t you cut all of them?” Kelvin asks.

“If you want this to be our last seeing each other, I’m gladly doing it.” Her sarcasm tone out. Kelvin rolls his eyes and walks away. If this bomb explodes, that means, open burning will happen. Police will come and annoy them. They rather facing a lot of enemies than annoy the police.

Damien and Liana end up in the water. She struggles to swim up. The rushing water makes them hard to swim. When their head poke out from the water, a long breath got taken.

“You stupid bitch!!” The guy tries to reach her.

“If it means sacrificing myself to kill you, I don’t have to think twice.” Liana spokes.

The anger inside Damien only raising. When he finally reaches her, he pulls her hair. “If you die along with me, I’m more than like it!!” He pushes her head inside the water, drowning her. “When you will accept the fact that you are not born as a leader, Darliana? You just one weak woman that depends on people!!”

Yes, she depends on someone. But it was to comfort herself. Is it wrong?

Liana struggles to hold her breath. Her head is lifted and oxygen fills her lungs. “You cute you think you can handle me by yourself?” He chuckles.

“At least… I–I’m trying.” She coughing.

Damien scoffs. “Trying? Okay. You want to see I’m trying?” He once again pushes her head inside the water. While he laughing like a pyscho, Liana starts to lose her breath.

His grips are too tight. Because of this water, it was too hard for her to escape and fight. Slowly, her breath loses. She can feel her lungs fill with water and her eyes start to droop.

‘I should have known you got another side. I’m sorry for not taking care of you, Lil sis.’

‘We love you. Remember that.’

‘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!!!’

‘Your parents love you. But for your safety, they have to leave you behind and sacrifice themselves. You must ask yourself, why they don’t bring you along when they kill themselves.” He stood up and puts away the dishes in the sink. “Your parents told me… they want you to have a great future, great family, great school and college, great life. They don’t want to take away that stuff from their princess.’

‘Mommy and daddy don’t know what to say. Your existence makes us… lose our words. We wouldn’t need anything. We need you and that’s enough.’ She hugs the baby.

‘We promise you. We will give you the life you deserve and make you our princess. We will always be by your side.’ Thaver cried.

‘We love you, Rosie Thaver.’

Her eyes are wide open. She can’t lose today. Not ever. Not until it was her time to die. She back to her struggling self. That’s when she remembers she has a knife slid behind her.

Liana tries to reach and slide it open. Without thinking twice, she stabs his stomach. Damien yells in pain causing him to let her hair go. She takes a deep breath once she found oxygen. She looks behind and there’s a waterfall.

‘Everything will be okay, our princess. We promise. We love you.’ Leo turns to kiss her head and they have a group hug.

‘Okay, if you say so. How about a promise that we will stay together until we at the end of our lives?’ Enzo suggests, raising his pinky finger beside Leo. Sometimes, promises took a lot of risks.

“I’m Rosie Thaver!! I wouldn’t die if it not the time!” She pulls the knife and stabs it in his chest.

“ARGHH!!!”

“Someone… waiting for me… to come back.” She pulls back the knife back. When her eyes caught the logs, she need to be ready. “And I… will come back for them!!!” The knife slices his neck causing blood to spill out.

Damien wrapped his neck feeling his oxygen stuck. When the logs get near, she holds them as if her life depends on them. The sight of the dead body falling from the waterfall made her sigh in relief.

Who can live when your neck got sliced, your chest got stabbed and your stomach got stabbed. The rage and burden in her heart finally fly away. She leans her head on the logs, breathing heavily. It ends. It finally ends.

“I did it… bub, mums, dads.” A small smile appeared on her lips.
