~MARCELLA~

For a second… Lucas doesn’t move.

He just stands there, frozen in the middle of the living room, his eyes slowly scanning everything.

The decorations. The balloons. The food. The lights.

The people.

We're just six in the room…. Stephanie, Fred, Jason, Jason's friend, Lucas and I.

Stephanie said something about inviting her male best friend, Jason over and he obviously came with his friend.

Stephanie is already jumping up and down like a child, waving both hands

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    WHY DO YOU KEEP PUSHING ME AWAY?

    ~MARCELLA~I don’t even hesitate.I start unbuttoning my shirt slowly and deliberately.One button…Two…And just like I expected….“Jesus—!”Lucas shuts his eyes so fast it’s almost impressive.I burst out laughing.Not just a small laugh, no…I laugh hard. Full-on, uncontrollable laughter, clutching my stomach as I bend forward slightly.“You didn’t even try!” I gasp between laughs. “Lucas, you didn’t even last two seconds!”“I told you not to….!” he snaps, eyes still tightly shut. “Marcella, what is wrong with you?!”“Oh my God,” I laugh again, shaking my head. “You’re actually unbelievable.”I step closer, and he stiffens immediately.“Open your eyes,” I tease, circling him slowly. “Come on… just a peek.”“No.”“Lucas… Come on…Don't you want to see how sexy I look?” I tease him seductively.“No,” he says firmly.I grin wider. “You’re scared.”“I’m not scared,” he protest.“Then open your eyes,” I tell him softly.“I said no,” he insists.I lean in slightl

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    DEFINITELY NOT SURVIVING TONIGHT

    ~LUCAS~Marcella is already looking at my body.Not just looking, but admiring too.Like I’m some kind of exhibit in a museum she paid full attention to.“Lucas…” she says softly, almost like she’s tasting my name.I freeze.“What?” I ask cautiously.She stands up slowly and starts walking toward me with no hesitation and no shame…just confidence.For some minutes, I contemplated running back into the bathroom and locking myself inside.Her eyes don’t leave my body.“This…” she gestures vaguely at me, “…is unfair.”I blink.“Unfair?” I repeat.She stops right in front of me, her gaze dropping again….this time more openly.“Do you even know how well built you are?” she asks.My brain glitches.“I—what?”“You…” she exhales, almost like she’s impressed. “You’ve been hiding all this under your clothes?”I choke.“I’m not hiding anything!”“Oh, you are,” she counters immediately, standing up slowly. “This is very much hidden treasure behavior.”“What does that even m

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    DON'T LOOK

    ~LUCAS~The bathroom door closes behind me, and I lean against it for a second.I don’t know how long I stand there with my forehead pressed against the door.Five seconds? Ten?Maybe a full minute.All I know is… I’m rethinking every decision that led me here.Every. Single. One.“Focus,” I mutter to myself, pushing away from the door. “It’s just a bath. A normal bath. People take baths every day. You’ve done this your whole life.”Yeah.Just not with Marcella waiting outside like a villain in a psychological thriller.I turn on the shower.The water comes out warm instantly—of course it does, because apparently even the water in this house is rich.The sound of the water hitting the tiles echoes softly, filling the space, but somehow it doesn’t calm me. If anything, it makes everything feel more intense… more real. Like I’m counting down to something I can’t escape.I step in, trying to ignore everything she just said.Trying, but failing terribly.Because n

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    A CRAZY MARCELLA

    ~LUCAS~I don’t think I’ve ever felt anything like this before.Not the laughter. Not the noise. Not even the chaos that filled the house just a few minutes ago.No… it’s what came after.The silence.The kind that settles in slowly, wrapping around you, pressing into your chest until you become aware of every little thing… every breath, every heartbeat… every feeling.And right now?All I can feel… is her.Marcella.She’s standing just a few steps away from me, but it feels like she’s everywhere. In the air. In my head. Under my skin.“So…” I say, rubbing the back of my neck, trying to act like my brain isn’t completely scrambled right now. “What’s next?”Smooth, Lucas. Real smooth.She swallows slightly before answering, trying to sound normal… but I can hear it. That tiny shift in her voice.“You need to take your bath,” she says.I nod quickly. “Yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.”Then it hits me….. reality, clothes, and toiletries.Everything I don’t have.“Y

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    TIME TO SAY GOODBYE

    ~MARCELLA~This game of Truth or dare is going to be fun.“Next!” Stephanie says quickly, clearly trying to recover. “Lucas!”“Is it my turn now?” He asks.“Yes, pick someone,” Stephanie says.I watch Lucas grins slowly.Oh no! He must be up to something.“Jason,” he says, turning his head. “You're up.”Jason sighs. “Of course I am.”Lucas raises a brow. “Truth or dare?”“Dare,” Jason says immediately.“I dare you…” Lucas pauses, clearly enjoying this, “…to dance seductively. Like a lady.”There's silence, and then….we all burst into laughter.“You’re joking,” Jason deadpans.“Nope,” Lucas says, completely serious.Stephanie is already clapping. “YES! DO IT!”Derrick is practically falling over laughing.Jason stares at all of us like he’s reconsidering his life choices…Then sighs.“Fine,” he says and stands up.And what follows?Is the most ridiculous, over-the-top, dramatic attempt at a “seductive” dance I have ever seen in my life.He starts swaying his hip

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    A GAME OF TRUTH OR DARE

    ~MARCELLA~The rest of the day unfolds like a dream I don’t want to wake up from.Laughter keeps spilling into every corner of the house, warm and alive, mixing with the music that refuses to die down. Plates clink, glasses touch, voices overlap, and for once… everything feels full. Not chaotic….just full.Full of life.Full of him.I watch Lucas as he moves around the room, slower than before but stronger than he was just days ago. And each time he smiles… God, each time he smiles, something inside me settles.There was a moment…..small, almost unnoticeable, when he pauses near the wall, one hand pressing lightly against his side. His smile flickers… just for a second from pain still there, and not completely gone.My chest tightens immediately. I almost stand up… almost rush to him… but then he straightens, catches someone’s joke, and laughs again like nothing happened.And it hits me….how hard he’s trying to be strong.For us.For me. I swallow thickly,

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    THIS ISN'T OVER

    ~LUCAS~I still remain frozen.I still don’t move.Not when she walks away.Not when her heels echo down the hallway like each step is carving something out of my chest.I just… stand there.Like an idiot.Like someone who just got hit by something he didn’t see coming—e

  • Triplet Heirs; The Romano daughters    A MISUNDERSTANDING

    ~MARCELLA~The moment I say it, “Shall we?”I expect him to move.To play along.To follow the script.To keep everything neat, controlled, believable.But Lucas doesn’t move…not immediately.Instead… his grip on my hand tightens.Not subtly or gently, but tight enough to m

    ~LUCAS~Sleep refuses to come.I lie flat on my back on the narrow bed in my tiny apartment room, staring up at the ceiling that looks exactly the same as it did three hours ago.The same slow-moving ceiling fan rotating above my head.The same sunlight pushing through th

    ~LUCAS~I stare at the phone in my hand long after the call ends.My chest feels heavy.God.I feel like absolute garbage.I drop the phone on the bed and run both hands down my face.Why did I just talk to her like that?Marcella’s voice echoes in my head.Soft, bright an
