What did you do to her

Right now we were on the highway. I was in the car with my brothers and sister. Antonio was at the driver seat while Liam sat with me and recheal at the back. While I'm here trembling like a jelly fish at the thought of going to a therapist, recheal seemed not to be even affected. She has this stone code look on her face that shows she just want to get this over with.

I felt Liam palm kneads my thigh and he whispers. "Relax baby. You'll be alright."

Guess he noticed my panick.

A panic which which kept blooming  the more the car drives, and Liam kept on caressing my thigh, hair and palms. Soothing me with comforting words. Somehow I was so grateful that Liam was here. He's such a mother hen.

It doesn't take long before Antonio drove into a big building which designed with snowy white.

I felt my heart churns as Antonio pulled over at the lot.

While Liam got out and open the car for me, which I hesitated before stepping down, Antonio walked down the car and went to open the car for my sister but she'd already opened it herself and barged out herself. Antonio sighs faustrasted.

Now standing out of the car, I realized there were different men stationed at different posts holding guns.

Trepidation gripped me and was shaking the living hell out of me.

No, I wasn't exactly scared at the guns but the men all surrounding the place.

"What are you doing clarrisa let's go." Antonio said as I was standing rooted at a spot but his voice sounded more like Dennis's voice in my head. Infact this whole scene dwindled off and I was taken back to another scene.

The memery of how my brothers will always take me to strange places settled in my head. Their angry voices of how they forces me to go into the buildings reviberated in my head. How they'll take me to meet numerous men and Violet me, played in a loop in my head. Everything was playing in loop in my head, seeing this men gave  me a sense of  de ja vu.

What if my brothers have brought us here to those men lying that we are to meet a therapist.

Air was now leaving my lungs.

I couldn't breathe.

"Are you okay honey?"

"Clarrisa!!" I felt someone hold my hands in his grip, that was Liam. I was panting heavily. Antonio was staring at me in confusion.

I tenses at Liam touch and flinched away.

"Please...please don't...don't take me to those men. Please." I was whispering, crying and panting.

"Which men?"

"Will you stop this drama of yours and let's get this done and over with?" That was recheal's spiteful voice yelling.

Really she thinks I'm being dramatic?

I heard Antonio caution her.

"Clarrisa," Antonio gripped my shoulders, I couldn't flinch away from him cause his grip was strong. "Clarriss calm down please."

I kept crying and begging them not to take me but Antonio kept telling to calm down more like begging me.

After a while I was able to get myself back. Antonio held my hand and ask me to follow his breath and it helped.

"Clarrisa, you'll be fine trust me I'll be with you there okay and we are not taking you to men why would have such thoughts?" Antonio asked softly but I just shook my head. A sigh that I didn't want to talk about it.

"Clarrissa you got me really scared. What happened? We could talk about it you know." Liam asked worriedly but I didn't say anything. I can't tell them I got traumatized from just a memory. My sister is already pissed up at me for being a freak. How much disgrace could I be to myself already?

"It's okay Liam let's not question her. Just walk recheal while I take care of clarrisa." Antonio said.

"I can walk myself" recheal snapped and yanked Liam hands off her. Liam rolled his eyes while Antonio just gave her a stoic look.

"Let's just go now." Antonio  sighed and said and led the way. I hesitantly followed. Rechel had her hands in her pocket, dead angry at what i don't know.

The more we walked past the men which kept greeting my brothers, the more I felt really panicked. Liam held me closer to himself to calm my fear.

Soon we all walked into a room that seem like a physician office. It had medical instructions and calendar all over the places. The young guy we met at the office clad in white coat, quickly stood up the moment we walked in.

He greeted my brothers with a bow. Addressing them as boss.

"Wow your sisters are so beautiful boss." He say with a smile on acknowledging me and recheal.

Recheal scoffed and I gulped uncounciously clinging to Antonio's arms. men saying I'm 'beautiful' means touching me impropriety.

Oh no!

I was completely shut out when Antonio started talking to the guy in Italian and  after thier brief discussion, I later realized he was the therapist. I and recheal was offered a seat by the guy but I didn't move a budge till Antonio asked me to.

Antonio asked the therapist if they can stay with us through the section obviously reading my fear-fear of being left alone with some strange guy but to my agiataton, the therapist humbly objected. Stating that To get best result, he needs to privately interact with me and my twin without any family member interruption.

Liam told me to relax that the therapist works for them and will never harm me.

Antonio assured me that they will be just at the door.

The knowledge of my brothers being close by somehow gave me little courage. Not like I fully trust them but I trust them more than this guy.

As we settled in, the therapist introduced himself to us in details. I find out his name is Rico roman.

I didn't know what to say so I just kept quiet. Same with recheal. She acted like she wasn't even listening.

Minutes past and the man spend time in trying to get us to know him, his smile not leaving his face which keep sapping the fear I've for him at every nano seconds. I was now able to be looking at him in the eyes and less scared than I was before.

He then started asking us basic questions about ourselves. Questions that wasn't really relevant like name, Age, hobbies, likes, dislikes. I wasn't expecting that question, I was expecting him to be like my brothers and ask about my past but I Was grateful he didn't ask.

At least I felt so free while answering the questions cause there was nothing to hide. Recheal on the other hand was being extremely rude.

"I guess my age isn't part of this whatever shit I'm here for right? Just do your fucking job so I can fuck out of this place" was her first response to Theyherapist question. I expected the therapist to flare up but he just nodded and smile. Then jolts down something on his paper.

We past the introduction stage and he starts asking some deep questions.

"Clarrisa?" He began giving me an intense gaze. "You do sometimes reflect on an unwanted, intrusive episodes in which you feel as though you are in a life threatening situation again, sometimes it plays like a movie you see it unfold as if it's happening all over again. Sometimes it comes in form of a dream. Correct?"

What?  How the flying cow does he know that?

My brows slightly raised in bewilderment. I glanced at recheal and I didn't expect what I saw on her face, there was no trace of the angry and stone cold recheal, concealed emotional detress was etched on her face as if the question was being thrown at her.

"Y...yes?" It came more like a question, my ear peeled up to know where he's driving at.

"Is it alright if we talk about it?" He asked mildly. I gulped. I know he's trying to get me to talk about my past with my brothers but I can't tell him. Aside from the fact that I don't want him to tell my brothers, talking about it will just bring back everything. I can't handle it so I shook my head 'No'.

To my surprise, he didn't push it. He just smile and jolts down on his book then turned to face recheal.

"Rechel  are there sometimes feel your chest tightened on its own? A sense of exploration come at you and they are beyond your control. Sometimes A slice of past events trigger it and sometimes, you are just angry at the world for no specific reasons?" Somehow that definitely describe recheal. I myself have been wondering why she's just always angry. 

"Is that what they told you? That I'm angry for no reason? Really?" Recheal spat, gnashing her teeth and clenching her fist on her thigh.

"No dear. No one told me anything. It's what I'm observing sweetie. Anyways let's draw the curtain from here. This will be all for today" Rico said smiling and just like that, the section was over.

The section  didn't go  as bad as I thought.

"Th...thank you." I didn't why but I thanked Rico. He nodded and smiled at me.

I didn't know what I was expecting but I didn't expect the therapy section to be this simple. Rico took some papers and we all walked out to meet our brothers standing right at the door like soldiers.

Liam smiled on seeing us and rushed towards us asking if we are alright. While I reply way a nod, recheal as usual ignored but this time her facial expression had changed to a sober one ever since we came out and Antonio gazed at her for a while with a frown he then turn to face Rico.

"¿Qué sucedió? como fue todo" He asked in a language different from Italy.

Antonio's POV,

I'll say it's a miracle that I was able to fight the temptation of walking right into Rico office to check how my babies re doing. Especially as they were taking quite long. Liam wasn't any better. He'd been pacing and looking so anxious, he even suggest we go to check them out but I objected, I don't want anything that'll sap the therapy section. Besides I trust Rico.

I breathed a sigh of relief as the door finally opened and they came out but I felt so bad when I saw the detress disposal on recheal face. This wasn't how she was before. I know I didn't like her angry version but I'm somehow use to it since I've coped with Jayden. Yeah clarrissa wasn't any better but she had her usual frightened look.

" ¿Qué sucedió? como fue todo?" I spoke Spanish cause I didn't want recheal to hear our conversation.

[What happened? How did everything go]

"Desde mi observación, creo que Recheal tiene un trastorno explosivo interno. Como dijiste, los gemelos de hecho sufrieron eventos desencadenantes y traumáticos y ambos se vieron afectados de diferentes maneras. Si bien creo que clarrissa ha experimentado un abuso crítico, creo que recheal está influenciado por el entorno en el que fue criada o también podría haber sido abusada." Pablo explained back in Spanish.

(From my observation, I think Recheal have intermittent explosive disorder. As you said, the twins have  indeed both suffered from triggering and traumatizing events and it's both affected in different ways. While I believe clarrissa has exprecienced critical Abuse, I think recheal is influenced by the environment she was breeded or she could've equally been abused too.)

Liam was just staring blankly  at me cause he doesn't understands Spanish.

¿Que les pasó a ellos? Qué te dijeron." I asked impatiently.

{What happened to them? What did they tell you.}

"Lo siento, pero no conseguí que hablaran de sus vidas." He replied.

[I'm sorry but I didn't get them to talk about thier lives.]

Fuck! Fear crossed Rico's face immediatelyhe said that and maybe the deadly look I gave him triggered it.

"Quiero decir que esta es solo la primera etapa. No debemos apresurarlos. Las víctimas de abuso se ven muy afectadas psicológicamente, afecta su credibilidad. No saben en quién confiar para hablar sobre su pasado o, más bien, no quieren hablar de él porque podría desencadenar todo de nuevo. Por lo tanto, por ahora, siga llevándolos regularmente y también haga su parte. Dado que las gemelas tienen atracciones opuestas críticas, les llevará tiempo acostumbrarse como hermanas. Siempre haga su parte para reunirlos regularmente, pelearán pero con el tiempo lo superarán."He clearified, still kinda terrified.

[I-I mean this is just the first stage. We shouldn't rush them.the victims of abuse are greatly affected psychologically, he affects their credibility. They don't know who to trust to talk to about their past or rather won't talk about it cause it might trigger everything all over again. Hence for now, just keep bringing them on a regular basis and also play your part. since the twins  have critical opposite attracts, it'll take time for them to warm up to each other as sisters. Always play your part in bringing them together on regular basis, they'll fight but with time they'll over come.]

"It's okay Rico." I sighed and nudge his shoulder playfully to lighten the atmosphere. "I'll take to heart what you said. Thank you for the help. I do appreciate."

Before we left, Rico suggested we take medical measures for recheal to suppress her IED.

I felt so downcasted, angry and broken about the information. Somehow I suspected that recheal have IED before cause she behaved same way Jayden was behaving before when he developed IED.

"What was all that Antonio?" Liam asked as soon as Rico went back inside. I took glances at both recheal and clarriss who'd been facing down then looked back at liam.

"Let's go back in the car now." Liam knew I didn't want to talk here so he just nodded and obliged but recheal stayed put.

"You aren't planning something crazy towards me behind my back are you?" recheal lashed out.

"C'mon recheal..."

"No answer me. Are you?" I really hates people cutting me off but concealing my hate for the sake of my sister, I spoke calmly.

"We aren't planning anything against you." Liam said.

"Then what the fuck is the talking with Spanish? What didn't you want me to hear...?" Recheal kept lashing out and at a point, I've to yell at her to shut up. Clarrisa  flinched but Liam was beside her to calm her.

"Wh...what did the therapist say?" Clarrisa asked softly as we were all settled in the car. It was the first time she've saying anything since.

"Don't you get the clue?" Recheal who was beside her at the back spoke instead. "They don't want to us know." The way she snapped got clarrisa picking on her thigh.

"It's nothing serious. We just talked about everything that happened during your therapy baby." I said to clarrisa and she just nodded while recheal rolled her eyes and face the window. I and Liam exchanged glances.

Turning back to face road I zoomed off.

Thinking about the toxic relationship my twins are gonna be having stings like a bitch. The worst part is that I can't fight for one over the other.  Neither can I split them apart. Fucking hell, who the fuck made my sisters that way?

After few minutes, we finally arrived back at the mansion.

Before I released the twins to their room, I decide to give them a long ass lecture as their guardian.

I made them aware that they'll be staying in same room so they should get use to it.

I know it wasn't necessary but I reminded them that they are sisters and sisters are to love and support each other.

I made Recheal aware of her IED of which she didn't accepted. I assured them both, especially clarrisa that if something bothers them or they need anything. They have us. I and Liam kissed clarrisa good bye but recheal didn't wait before she bounced off.

I could tell clarrisa was panicked about the whole arrangement but I've to do this. It was for the good. I didn't have time to talk with Liam because I got a call from Jayden telling me that there's a problem at one of our companies which my attention is needed so I had to leave.

Liam's POV,

After my parting with my siblings, I'd been in my room.

I don't know what Antonio and the therapist talked about but I hope it's not something that critical. I really hope cause my heart had been hanging just thinking about the whole thing. I was busy scrutinizing some Java languages on my computer when matoe came to my room.

He divulged the greatest and happiest news I've heard today. Those bitches were awake.

I didn't waste time in cladding myself in all black just like Matoe. Yeah when ever we going for an operation, no matter how casual it is, we grooms in black. At least it give off that terrifying impact we want to have on our preys.

Right now we are right inside the basement. Me and matoe, leering down at the two ugly bitches who are  tied to a chair. They literally sucked all over with their own sweats, shaking like jellies.

"P...please d..don't hurt us. Please." They've been begging ever since I and Antonio walked in.

"I'm not promising you anything but things could play in your Favour if you tell us everything we want to know." Matoe finally said to them.

He went forward and leaned before them.

"What did you do to my sister?" He growled.

"W..who's your sister?" One of them quivered.

"I hate it when people play dumb. But I'll tell you. I'm talking about clarrisa." Mattoe spat

"What? But that can't can't be. We know her brothers and it's not you."

"Great. That mean you know her. Now I'll need you to tell me what you were to her. Tell us everything you know about clarrisa and what you did to her."

"We don't know." One of them said blinking her lashes and I know she's bloodily lying.

"You don't expect us to buy that bullshit do you?" I barked in angrily from behind.

"Well clarrisa was just some freak in our school who easily got picked on by everyone. She was so dumb and stupid." One of the girl spat and the other girl attacked her, cursing and rediculing her for her outburst.

My vision became red at the names he qualified my sister as. Before I could say a word matoe had landed a slap across across her face.

A slap which re-viberated in the basement.

"Repeat those names you just called my sister!" Mateo yelled while gripping her hair back. She was wincing in pain and yelling at matoe to let her go. "Now tell me what the hell did you do to my sister to make her fucking  cry!" Matoe yelled.

"Well your sister has always been an emo freak. She literally cries over everything and don't tell me you're cowardly fighting  her fellow girls over her." The other girl yelled.

" we'll do everything for our sister okay and let it be that you didn't do anything to hurt her."

"And what will you do? Kill us? Well you know what fine, we are your dumbass sister worst nightmare. Such an heartbreak that she'd to leave the school all of a sudden cause we had fun bullying the bastard while it lasted." I didn't hear that right did I?

They bullied my sister? The mere hearing of that made blood rushed through my veins.

"You did what?" Before I could comprehend things, matoe landed a pouch on the girl's jaw and two of her teeth fell out.

Her scream nearly got me deaf. "How dare you?" Matoe yelled and kicked the girl so hard on stomach that she fell back with the chair. The other girl was crying and screaming at matoe.

Matoe kept bashing the girls all over, pouching and kicking them like a fellow man. Thier scream was all over the places. Blood spilling out everywhere.

"Matoe stop." I'd to stop him, holding his hand when he brought out a torture blade.

I was angry yeah dead angry for finding out one of the people who'd contributed to my sister's trauma, if for anything I want to give them a gruesome death but no matter what, we don't hurt ladies. I don't want to get into Antonio's trouble.

"That's enough matoe they are girls" I said through gritted teeth. Matoe gave me a death glare, he wanted to pull off and continues but as if re-thinking his decision, he screamed "fuck!!" And stabbed the blade against the wall.

We took one last glares at the girls who were already battered on the floor before walking out of the basement.

"Go clean them up. Elisha." Matoe said to Elisha whom we met at the door post.

"Yes capo." He bowed and walked past us into the basement.

"What are we going to do about those girls?" I broke the short silence that has been between me and matoe ever since we arrived at his room.

He was at the dresser cleaning up his knuckles while I was sitting on his bed.

"They hurted our sister. They must have really played a huge part with all the traumas she's having." Matoe growled while giving me his back.

"Yes I know" I said and sighed.

"We aren't letting them go."

"Of course but what are we going to tell Antonio if paraventure he finds out we are holding two girls hostage?" I asked half-worried and panicked.

"He isn't going to find out cause we  are going to tell him already." I frowned at that statement. "This is an issue relating to our sister's predicament so he have to be informed."

Though I didn't fully supported that idea but I just obliged.

I mean what if Antonio decide to be a dick and not only scold us for our action but order us to let those bastards go. Well I can take the scolding but freeing those bitches is what I can't do. Antonio better get set for a fight if ever he decides to bring his mafia rules into this.

Right now I and matoe are heading to Antonio's office. We earlier went to his room but didn't find him there.

Arriving at Antonio's office, we knocked and he gave us permission to come in. We walked in to meet his seriously busy with Jayden. They were scrutinizing some map on the desk.

"What bring you bros?" Antonio asked.

"We want to tell you something Antonio and it's a good thing Jayden is here too." I said and Antonio tells me to continue. I and Mateo got ourselves settled in on the office chairs.

While he continued on the map, I told him how we found some girls who happen to admit that there were Clarissa bullies after we've dealt with them a little.

Jayden's eyes went red Automatically as soon as I got the whole words out. Antonio stopped working and went blank for about straight 30 minutes. He closed his eyes and opened it then asked quietly. "Where are they now?"

"At the basement" mateo replied.

"Good" Jayden bleated and stormed towards the door.

"Where are you going Jayden?" Antonio asked.

"To feed some bitches with thier intestines" Jayden said highly enraged. Spitting nails infact.

"You can't do that Jayden"

"This is my sister we are talking about Antonio" Jayden half-yelled. Antonio touched his forehead and sighed. I could tell he was taking all in him to contain anger in his eyes, forfeiting it to hold his damn principles.

"We can't do anything to them for now Jayden. They could serve as our link to get to know everything that happened to clarrisa in the past. Being there at the basement is already enough punishment for them, don't hurt them." It took time for Antonio to be able to convince Jayden to change his mind. After puffing so much Air probably to relieve his temper, Jayden stayed back.

"Matoe, Liam." Antonio called out. "Thank you so much for the effort you put In unrivaling this. I really do appreciate. I owe you one dudes." He playfully pouched me and matoe at our shoulders.

I chuckled briefly while matoe gave him a nod.

"Now that reminds me. You didn't tell me how the therapy section went out with the twins." Jayden asked and both me and matoe gave Antonio an Audience.

After being silent for a while he spoke.

"Turns out that our suspicions were right. It's not just clarrissa who had some shitty past but Recheal too and Rico affirmed she could be having  IED."

As for that IED I'm not all suprised, she's been acting like one and about having a past, I guess I shouldn't be surprise. Perharps clarrisa told me before how she'd woken up that night looking terrified, probably from some horrid night mare or memory.

"The fuck..." Jayden spat. "What happened to her. To them even."

"I don't know yet. According to what Rico said, it'll take time before they open up because whatever they went through gave them trust issues. Especially clarrisa. The least we can do for them is try our hardest to understand them and accept whatever they exhibits till they eventually recovers." Antonio said and we all nodded in agreement.

"And Jayden make sure to apologize to clarrisa about yesterday. You scared her."

"I'll try" Jayden responded coldly.
