~LUCAS~

The first drop of rain hits my cheek, then another, and then, it pours…. heavy and relentless.

Within seconds, we’re soaked.

The ground turns slick beneath our feet, water splashing with every movement.

He comes at me again, faster this time, throwing a combination of punches.

I block, deflect, step back, then counter with a sharp kick to his side and a punch to his jaw.

He stumbles slightly, but recovers fast, grabbing my arm and trying to slam me down.

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    MARCELLA IS COMING

    ~LUCAS~The realization that I almost died all because of a woman hits me hard.Something inside me snaps and my breathing stutters.My fingers curl weakly against the sheets, and my chest suddenly tightens from fear…real, raw and uncontrollable.My breathing starts to pick up, uneven and shallow.“Hey… hey, relax…” Fred steps closer quickly, noticing.But I can’t.I almost died!!!I was lying there…bleeding out and alone.A shaky breath leaves me, then another, then it spirals.My heart starts racing too fast, slamming painfully against my ribs.“I… I couldn’t move…” I mutter, my voice trembling now. “I remember… I couldn’t…my body just…”My hand lifts slightly, shaking uncontrollably before dropping back to the bed.“Lucas….”“What if you didn’t come?” I cut in suddenly, my voice rising despite how weak I am. “What if you didn’t find me?!”Fred freezes.“I would’ve just….what?!” My breathing turns erratic. “Bled out there like some….like some nobody on the st

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    I ALMOST DIED

    ~LUCAS~I feel like something heavy is pressing against my skull… like I’m being dragged up from the bottom of a deep, suffocating ocean where everything is cold, silent, and endless.It feels like I’ve been down there for hours, days, maybe longer.Then something shifts….a flicker, a pull, and suddenly, I'm rising.Fighting my way back.The first thing I feel is pain….not sharp or sudden.But deep… aching… spreading through every inch of my body like it has settled into my bones and made a home there.It’s heavy, relentless and unforgiving.A low, broken groan slips past my lips before I can stop it, my face tightening slightly.“Fuck…..”My throat is dry, painfully dry, like I haven’t spoken in days. My voice comes out hoarse, cracked, almost unrecognizable.Even breathing feels… wrong, too heavy, too strained.My eyelids feel like they’re weighed down by something…..too heavy to lift.But I force them open anyway, just a little, and light hits me instantly…

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    THE NIGHT JUST GOT WORSE

    ~LUCAS~The sound of the engine roars louder, aggressive, like it’s not slowing down… like it’s not even trying to.The noise cuts through the night like a blade, too loud, too sudden, echoing off the empty street and bouncing inside my skull. It feels wrong immediately…..too deliberate, too directFor a split second, my brain doesn’t process it.It just… freezes.The light gets closer, and closer.Too close.I should step away, but I can't, as I just find myself frozen on the spot in shock and watching as the car comes faster and faster at me.“What the hell…..”My voice comes out quieter than I expect, almost swallowed by the roar of the engine, like even sound is afraid of what’s about to happen.My heart slams violently against my ribs as my body finally reacts, stumbling a step back, my breath catching in my throat.It’s not stopping.It’s not.The tires screech suddenly, loud and violent, cutting through the night as the car swerves hard, right in front

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    TRAUMA OF THE PAST

    ~LUCAS~“Damn it!!”My voice rips out of me, hoarse and broken, swallowed almost immediately by the rain crashing down around me.I don’t even know when my feet start moving.One second I’m standing there like an idiot, staring at the empty road where her car disappeared…Then next, I’m walking fast….then faster.Like if I stop, even for one second, I might completely lose it right there in front of everyone.The school gate fades behind me.Students scatter in different directions, laughing, complaining about the rain, running under umbrellas or cars or whatever shelter they can find.I don’t see any of it.I don’t hear anything properly either.Everything sounds… muffled and distant.Like I’m underwater.All I can hear clearly is my own breathing…ragged, uneven, almost painful.And her voice.“I’ve decided to move on.”It keeps repeating over and over again…. like a curse.Like something carved into my brain that I can’t erase no matter how hard I try.My

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    LUCAS LOSES CONTROL

    ~LUCAS~I shouldn’t have said all that to Stella.The thought doesn’t come gently. It hits me like something thrown straight at my head….sharp, unexpected, impossible to ignore. It lingers for half a second longer than I want it to… before I shove it away.Because the truth?I don’t regret it enough.Not enough to wish I could take it back. Not enough to feel guilty.Stella deserved every single word.Every. Single. One.Still… the look on her face when I said it…the way her eyes shattered, the way her hand trembled before she slapped me….the way the entire cafeteria went silent like the world itself paused just to watch her break…It lingers annoyingly.Like something stuck under my skin I can’t claw out.“Damn it,” I mutter under my breath, dragging my hand through my hair as I pace down the empty corridor.My footsteps echo too loudly against the walls, each one feeding the storm already building inside me. I shove my other hand into my pocket, but it doesn

    ~MARCELLA~I don’t look back, but I can feel it though.The weight of his eyes on me.The way the air behind me feels thicker, like something is trying to pull me back… like he’s trying to pull me back without actually moving.But I don’t stop.I can’t.Because if I do…if I gi

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    CLEARING THE MISUNDERSTANDING

    ~MARCELLA~Stella is staring at us with a slow, wicked and satisfied smile on her lips.And in this moment, I feel like punching her hard in the face and dragging her hair out of her thick, empty skull.She's very lucky that I am not Fiorella, my elder sister, or she would have

    ~LUCAS~I never expected to see Marcella out in the public as I walked into school this morning.Yeah, we have a joint class and I knew that I must definitely see her, but I was hoping it would be in the class with the lecturers already lecturing so the full attention would

    ~MARCELLA~I don’t wait for him.I don’t give him the chance to lead.The moment I stand up, I walk past him.Not fast. Not slow. Just enough to make a point.If he wants to talk, he can follow.And he does.Of course he does.I can feel it without turning.His presence….Close, steady and heavy.We
