The Twin Brothers

She packs her stuff slowly because of the scene where Mr. Leonardo acts toward her. Even he looks intimidating and cold, his eyes showing calm and soft to her.

Or maybe it’s just her imagination?

The way Adam shocks with every action he did, he must be not the person who is good to any people but to a person his exception. Liana feels a little bit good since her smartwatch didn’t beep during that meeting just now or not, it would be embarrassing.

“Hey, Lili!!” Daisy appeared out of nowhere causing her to jump. “Oh!! Sorry, I didn’t mean to scare you.” She immediately apologized when saw the fear o that girl’s face.

“I–It okay.” She looks down and zips her bag.

“I heard that Mr. Hower come here this afternoon?” Daisy asks, sitting on the chair beside her.

When he heard that, she frowns. “W–Who… Who M–Mr. Hower?” She asks.

Daisy arches her eyebrows.

“Uhh… Mr. Hower. You didn’t know him?” She asks.

Liana shakes her head.

“But… he’s coming just now, didn’t he? Or I misheard it.” Daisy mumbles to herself.This content © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.

“Is he… I–Is he t–the a–assistant?” Liana asks.

The girl looks at her with shock. How can she don’t know who’s the boss of this company? She grabs Liana’s shoulder causing her to flinches but Daisy is too busy with herself to notice.

“Girl!! He’s the boss of this company!!” She says.

How many bosses of this company? The thought makes Liana frowns. Mr. Leonardo claims himself as the boss just now then who’s this Mr. Hower is?

“But…” Liana didn’t know what to say.

“I think I should ask the others again about this. Anyway, are you going home?” Daisy asks. She only replies with nods after grabbing her backpack. “If that is so, see you tomorrow!!”

She smiles and nods before going out. The cold breeze when she out of the company made her shiver. She hates herself for not bringing the coat. Now, she only wearing a baby pink sweater with a white flowy long skirt.

During her walk towards her apartment, it’s silent. Just a sound of a car passing by. She hugged herself, trying to warm herself even though her hands were cold as ice. Her phone ringing startled her.

“H–Hello?”

“Hey, my sweet little sister!!” Ivan’s voice came out.

“Hai, Ivan. How are you doing?” She asks softly.

“I’m doing fine, sis. How about you? Is everything okay? Have you found a job? Do you want to come–you know me and the others more than glad if you come home. Oh, wait!! Don’t tell me you run out of money!!?? Tell me how much you want!? Ah, fuck!! I’ll just transfer my money to your bank every month–no. Everyday. Or I can–” She cut him off before he could continue.

“I–Ivan. You’re rambling.” Liana chuckles.

He sighs. “I’m sorry, sis. I just worried about you.”

The sound of grumbling makes Liana looks down at her stomach. She rubs her stomach and looks around. That’s when she found a convenience store. “Everything is fine. I found a job anyway.”

“Really!? Woah!! Where!?” Ivan excitedly asks.

“No. I wouldn’t tell you just yet.” She chuckles and walks into the convenience store. “Once I got my paid check, I will buy you, Jessica, and our parents a gift!! Then, I’ll tell you where I work.” Liana explains.

The big brother couldn’t help but let out a heavy sigh. He chuckles, “Fine. If that is so. I will wait-Oh no. I got to go. Jes need me.”

“IVAN!! YOU HAVE TO HELP ME BATH CHASE!!!!” Jessica’s yells could be heard. Chase is their cat which they always argue over. Ivan didn’t want a cat but Jes want it. In the end, she won. Of course, after so much begging and debating.

“That’s why I hate cats,” Ivan grumbles. “Oh well, I got to go. Take care and make sure to call me when you need me, okay?” He says.

“Okay. See you later. I love you, Iv.” Liana said while checking the potato chips price.

“I love you too, sis.” They hang up after that.

Liana grabs the potato chips and cup of noodles. She felt lazy to cook tonight. As she grabs everything, she is about to turn around but bumps into someone.

“Oof!! S–Sorry!!” She looks down.

“Watch where you are going, bitch.” That guy snaps before walking passing her. Liana take a look and saw he wearing a cap, a hoodie with a mask. All black.

She try not to care what he did just call her. It was too sensitive for her. She grabs one drink and went toward the counter. But before she did, someone grabs her arms. Her head turns and saw it was a guy she bump at the company and who threatened to shoot her.

Liana gasp. Tears form in her eyes.

“I know it was you.” He mumbles, letting her arms go. There’s one pack of beer in his hand.

“I–I’m so–sorry!! I will—I will go away!!” She cried.

Lorenzo slightly shocked by her burst out. Did he scare her this much? But he didn’t do anything yet. Or did he grabs her arms too harshly just now? Enzo grabs her arms gently and pushes her sleeves up. He doesn’t know why he did this but there’s no bruise or red on it.

“P–Please… l–let m–me g-g-go.” Liana plead. Her food was already on the ground.

Enzo grabs her shoulder, “Hey, I wouldn’t hurt you or anything.” When saw she didn’t listen, he continue to talk. “LOOK. AT. ME. LITTLE. GIRL!!” Enzo says firmly.

Somehow, it did it. She lifted her gaze with her teary eyes and red nose probably because of the cold. The chubby cheeks, reddish lips, a cute button nose, unique color eyes, and her tiny form. The way her doe eyes met his cold blue ones made him lost in thought.

“S–Sir?” Her tiny voice called.

“What’s your name?” Enzo asks.

“D–Dar—Darliana… sir.” She answers.

“Darliana.” The way Enzo said her name make it even more beautiful. “I’m Lorenzo.”

Lorenzo?

LORENZO!?

“Y–You are… t–t–the m–mafia!!” Liana becomes panicked. Her smartwatch is beeping like crazy. Enzo is confused about what happened, but knowing her breath is stuck. Maybe a panic attack.

“Darliana!! Hey!! Calm down!!” He grabs her face but it is no use.

The girl is too afraid of the mafia in front of her. Who doesn’t know Lorenzo? The cruel and devil mafia. How can she didn’t recognize him since their first met? As she too panicked, she didn’t realize she was already off ground and now, in someone’s arms.

Enzo balanced her on his hips and slams the money on the counter. He rushes outside to his car. The driver was shocked to see a little girl in his boss’s

arms. As far as he knows, Lorenzo the cruel mafia never cares about people unless his team, friends, or Leo.

“Mi Amore, take a deep breath for me, please.” Enzo cupping her face.

She doesn’t know why but his soft touch, voice, and eyes make her calm. The smartwatch still beeping and Enzo didn’t know why. He grabs it only to see her heart rate rising.

“I–In… h–ha… haler.” Liana points at her bag.

The guy didn’t waste his time and grabs her bag. He takes out everything but when his hand holding the inhaler, Liana grabs it. Of course with Enzo’s help, she inhales it.

“Slow down, Mi Amore.” He whispers.

The beeping becomes slow down and faded. Tiredness took over Liana and she couldn’t help but put her head on his shoulder. Enzo sighs, patting her back.

“That’s it. Slow down your breath. I wouldn’t hurt you.” Enzo whispers.

Her eyes drop, sleeping in a stranger’s arms. Well, Enzo didn’t see anything that could harm him by helping this girl. She looks like she couldn’t hurt a single fly. But, he was a little bit attached to her.
