Entangled With The Mafia Lord

He shrugged on the robe and tied it up before letting the towel fall off his body. I picked it up and dropped it on the counter before following closely behind him as he made his way back into the room. I didn’t bother offering to help him since he only limped a little.

“So, Nicole is alright, right?” He asked after settling back on the comforters.

Alright? She’s the complete opposite of that word at the moment and the fact that you didn’t acknowledge her last night really broke her, I wanted to say those words to Nicolas but I know he wasn’t doing any better and that would only get him more worked up and stressed.

“She isn’t, but she’s getting better.” I said to him as I checked the time again, it was only a few minutes until four o clock.

“What?” Nicolas demanded immediately as he sat up from his relaxed position. “What do you mean she’s getting better? Something happened to her?”

“Nicolas,” I started to say while rubbing my eyes which were starting to ache due to the lack of sleep but Nicolas cut into what I was about to say.

“Please tell me she didn’t get kidnapped too, please.” Nicolas continued, his voice breaking at the end of his statement and I knew what he was trying to get out immediately.

“No, she wasn’t.” I replied and watched as he breathed out a relieved sigh.

“Although, she got shot in her bedroom and had to get the bullet out through operation.”

“Christ, and I wasn’t there to protect her. What sort of a twin am I?” Nicolas lamented bitterly.

“Hey, hey. Tristan was at the house when it happened but he was downstairs making something for her to eat while I was at the office, working.”

Yeah, right.

More like I was having my cock sucked when it probably happened.

“There’s no use blaming ourselves since none of the blame and guilt is going to turn back time, that’s why we left the house and headed to the safe house. But after rescuing you and almost getting killed again, we didn’t think it was still safe to go back there, so here we are.” I explained to him. I didn’t bother mentioning to him that we met dead bodies at the house tonight which made us decide that even the safe house wasn’t safe at this point.

“I know, I just can’t help it, y’know. I promised her I was always gonna be there for her no matter what. We’re not even up to eighteen and I’ve already let her down this hard… I don’t feel so good.

“You’re not up to seventeen yet,” I pointed out.

“We’ll be seventeen in a few weeks, so we’re already seventeen years old.” Nicolas pointed out with an eye roll.

“You know at first she didn’t know you got kidnapped.” I started to say to Nicolas.

“Really? Wait, how did y’all figure out the fact that I got kidnapped? I remember them shooting Ian before I felt something hard hit my head and I passed out only to wake up in a dark room with my hands tied up.”

I breathed out a sigh.

“Immediately after I got to the hospital and I met with Tristan, we suddenly remembered to call you and check up on you since it was around that moment that Nicole got shot too- they obviously planned on attacking you and your twin at the same time. We called your phone and got no answer, then Lucas and I headed to the gym immediately. A lot of dead bodies were in the gym but Lucas was the one who saw the letter at the back of the gym and that was how it was stated on the letter that they have you with them and that they hope Nicole doesn’t end up dying.”

“Holy shit.” Nicolas gushed out and I nodded my head in agreement.

“And I thought I saw hell at their hostage,” Nicolas mumbled under his breath but I heard just fine.

“She found out about it yesterday’s afternoon and accused Tris and I while crying of always keeping important things away from her.”

“Nicole’s emotional like that,” Nicolas said with a small laugh- the first laugh he was actually breathing out since the moment I set eyes on him in the warehouse.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.

“That was also one of the reasons why she followed us on the plane, and also because we couldn’t leave her with anybody. Even most of the guards aren’t fully trusted at this point.” I continued, purposely leaving out the fact that I brought someone home from the office who also accompanied us because I also couldn’t trust her with anybody- Someone whom I was seriously starting to care about.

“Oh. And I turned away from her coldly when she approached me, ”wow I’m such a shitty brother and the worst twin ever.” Nicolas groaned out dejectedly.

“She was pretty hurt when you ignored her, but she understands that you needed space then, I just hope you see her later in the day, at least.” I concluded.

“Of course, I will. I was already planning to anyway. I miss her.” Nicolas replied quietly

“Good. She misses you too.” I answered as I pushed up from the bed to head upstairs to my room and hope Nicolas’s gonna fall asleep since they’d be no one to talk to.
