Trigger warning: Violence ahead.
Mentions of Rape in this chapter.
-------------

"Wh-what?" I stuttered, saying that simple word seemed so difficult at the moment.

"I got assaulted. Sexually." He said, holding back tears. He was uncomfortable talking about it. Of course, he was.

"Do you want me to leave? To have some privacy?" Elonzo asked, looking at me for help.

"No. Its okay." Nathan said. "I never left my drink unattended, I saw what I was drinking and if the bartender was giving me the right drink. I don't know how they managed to drug me. I swear, I didn't consume alcohol."

He looked at us Pleadingly, begging us to believe him. I believe him.

"Its not your fault, Nathan. They could've drugged you just during a simple turn of your head." Elonzo soothed, clearly holding back. He was resisting the urge to hug Nathan to death.

The Romano family believes in hugging to try and take away the pain. Atleast for me. That's what I concluded. Every time something happens, all of them just want to hug me. It works all the time.

"Did they try to- you know?" I gulped, as tears already gathered in my eyes. I don't want to even imagine my twin going through something that bad.

Its one thing to sexually assault someone, but its another to Rape them.

He went on to explain what happened, everything he remembered from last night.

"She almost raped me." He said, as tears flowed down his cheeks. He wiped them away, quickly. "But something happened and she had to rush out for a moment, during which I ran out of that room and called the driver to take me home. The guards couldn't have realised what was happening, because of past events."

Yep. The brothers have a reputation of drinking and hooking up with girls at such parties. Still, what they did to him was nothing like hooking up. It was a rape attempt.

I exhaled frustratedly.
"Who was it?" I asked.

"An older girl." He said, as a sob escaped his mouth despite various attempts to stop. "Christina."

My hands twitched as I could feel anger rising inside me.

"Its gonna be okay, Nathan. Everything is going to be alright." I said. Nathan looked at me and started crying. This time, Elonzo was quick to wrap him in a hug.

He looked so weak and vulnerable. Both of them.

"Where was Luciano? Did you not call him?" I asked, resisting the urge to grit my teeth.

"No. He was drunk and I couldn't find any of them." Nathan mumbled, half-heartedly. "I don't even know where she took me."

"That bitch." I said, standing up. "Is fucking dead."

"Evvie." Elonzo called but I ignored him.

I will NOT let him stop me this time. I don't care what happens, but I'm going to put that bitch in her place.

She is Luca's classmate. Wow, his grade is filled with such monsters.

Barging in Luciano's room, I started shaking him violently, trying to wake him up.

"What?" He said, annoyed, shoving me back.

"Where does your classmate Christina live?" I asked, slapping him when he fell asleep again.

"Oww- what?" He asked.

"Christina. Where does she live?" I asked. He must know, I've seen her on the popular group table many times.

Luciano looked at me for a moment, then told me the address.

I don't want to think why he knows it, but at least, it helped.

Slamming the door to his room, I ran downstairs to grab Luciano's bike keys.

The only thing I could think of, was that girl bleeding to death. She's dead.

Speed driving to the apartment building he told me about, I could just feel the temper rising and the urge to kill increase with each passing second.

I knocked on the door, furiously. I swear, I'm going to shatter this door into pieces or get it out of its hinges.

A girl opened the door, a scowl on her face.

"Do you want to break-?" She stopped mid-sentence. "Oh! Bitchy twin."

Hm. Psycho Karen.

A punch landed right on her nose, making her stumble backward.

"Are you sure, you're fucking allowed to talk to me that way, you filth?" I asked, grabbing the collar of her shirt as she struggled to open her eyes, clutching her nose.

"Oh. One more violent Romano." She said, looking at me with so much hate through her watery eyes. "Your brother was lucky he escaped, or I would be pregnant with his child by now and planning to sue him for money." She sneered in my face.

"That counts as a rape attempt, you know. We may press charges. Wipe that smirk off your face. The drug is in my brother's system, not yours. But that doesn't matter." I said, when she smirked at the threat. I knew she won't be afraid of that. "What better time and situation to brag about it, We're powerful people. It won't matter if your daddy is in the police force, you and your whole family will be behind bars, by just a snap of our fingers."

Her smirk vanished when she actually gave it a thought.

"But, you know, pressing charges is boring." I began evilly. "Handling things, especially filth like you, on our own is something we really love to do. So its better if I just.." I stopped, grabbing her collar again and shoving her against the wall and started punching her blindly.

My knuckles hurt. But not more than what Nathan went though. I know the pain and I loathe these monsters. I may not have faced my own tormentor but Nathan did. I am doing the same. I am fighting his monsters for him, just like him and my other brothers did for me.

I didn't notice when she managed to raise her fist to punch me, but she did. She punched me on the eye. I stumbled back a little, but quickly took charge again, kicking her and punching her.

"Babe, I'm home." I heard a male voice say, after sometime.

"WHAT? WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?" The guy yelled, as he ran towards me to pull me away from his girlfriend, who I didn't even know was unconscious.

"Don't touch me." I gritted getting out of his grasp and standing away from him.

He looked like he wanted to kill. Well, I'm ready to fight.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO MY GIRLFRIEND?" He yelled, looking at me with so much anger.

He grabbed my arm, his hold so tight, it hurt. I clenched my jaw and tried not to kill him.

"How dare you hurt her." He spat in my face.

I glared at him and swung my already bloody and bruised fist, as hard as I could. He stumbled back, clutching his jaw.

"Dont.Touch.Me." I gritted again. "Your girlfriend tried to rape a guy last night. That guy is my twin."

He looked at me wide-eyed, then at his unconscious girlfriend.

"You're lying." He said, not believing one word. Honestly, if I had seen this girl without knowing how filthy she is, I would have imagined a pure innocent angel.

"And I'm not going to explain anything to you." I said, simply.

"I'm calling the police." He said, pulling his phone out.

"By all means, go ahead." I said, showing him my middle finger and walking towards the door.

My eye hurt. I patted my pocket to see if my phone was there. Its been about forty-five minutes, I'm impressed they didn't track me till now. I jammed the bike's tracker too.

Just as I was about to walk out, the front door burst open and gaurds barged in.

Okay. Now I'm impressed they tracked me down so quickly.

Oliver came in, with Henry following him, both having scared expressions on their faces.

I wonder how we get along like they're my uncles.

Oliver looked at me and sighed in relief. The guards started doing their work, asking for other search parties to stop their search and taking in the mess they had to clean up now.

"Let's go home." Oliver said, softly, bending down to my level. "It took so long to track you down."

"Yep. It did. Cuz I run the system." I said, simply.

"To the warehouse." I said, nodding towards the unconscious girl, curled up against the wall, on the carpeted floor.

"But-" One of them made the mistake of trying to argue.

"Do I need to repeat myself?" I asked, glaring at him.

He bowed his head.
"No, Ms. Romano."

I turned back towards the door and walked out, with Henry and Oliver following me.

"Who did this?" Henry asked, pointing his finger at my eye. "If its that guy, I swear.."

"The unconscious lady." I said, not giving away any emotion.

At that moment, her boyfriend came running to me.

Oliver and Henry, stood between me and him, protectively.

"Please. I don't know what you have against her. Please, don't take her away." He pleaded, his hands clasped tightly together.

So unlike before.

I moved forward to stand between Henry and Oliver. I lowered his hand.
"Look. I told you before. She's a rapist. She tried to rape my twin, so she could get pregnant or shit and get money from us." I told him, as gently as I could. I pity him, honestly.

But outer looks can be a huge contrast to inner looks.
That girl looks like a pure angel from outside.

"I don't want to meddle in your personal affairs. But she attempted to rape someone, that's the only explanation needed for you to stay away from this matter and move on from her. Because, either way this is happening." I said, simply. He seemed to believe me this time, but I knew he would dig deeper.

I would too if I was in his shoes. Why would I even believe a stranger telling me my partner tried to rape someone?

I just walked away from there and to the bike.
"Are you sure you can drive?" Oliver looked at me worriedly.

"Yes." I said, simply.

I saw some of the men dragging Christina out of the building. I could feel rage building inside me when I saw her. Nathan's pleas and cries rang in my ear, although I didn't even hear them.

I clenched my eyes shut, taking in a deep shaky breath. I don't ever want to hear that. I didn't want him to experience it.

I could just feel anger at the moment. Even the sadness and the pain I felt added to the anger.

Then suddenly, it changed.
"Wait." I said, as something came into my mind. I can't just order them to take her to the warehouse.

Hope you enjoy it.
