Luccane
Chapter 43: Who is Vin?

I laughed satirically. "you have no right to rule who I should fall in love with, Luccane."

Luccane smiled asymmetrically, without asking for my approval he grabbed my body into his signature warm embrace that I so longed for. The intoxicating scent of musk made my love for Luccane burn again.

In silence, I felt my chest pounding violently along with my blood rustling.

"You should have asked me who Vin was before you decided to kiss him" Luccane said, not responding to the words I said a moment ago.

Luccane treated me tenderly and lovingly as always, leaving me stuck back into his incredible charm.

"Who is he, Luccane? he just told me that I just needed to call him Vin," I replied as I buried my face in Luccane's chest.

Damn, only Luccane's chest can be the most soothing backrest for me all along.

Luccane gave me a little distance, his face seemed to be reminiscing about something making me more curious it seems Vin did have a connection with Luccane during his life.

"What do you think if I have a brother?" asked Luccane while rubbing the top of my head.

"Why are you asking like that? If you had a brother, it wouldn't change anything, would it?" my reply was confused, looking at Luccane with almost linked eyebrows.

Luccane returned my gaze, letting go of his embrace later.

"Actually, Vin is my twin brother who had a mental breakdown during his life" Luccane said slowly with a regretful look.

"What's? Twin brother? How could? Don't you joke!"

I was obviously surprised to hear Luccane's words that I never expected.

Twin brother? Didn't Papa and Mama Luccane say that Luccane was their only child? Why did Luccane say Vin was his twin brother?

Luccane shook his head. "unfortunately I'm not kidding. Vin and I are identical twin brothers, Papa and Mama agreed to hide Vin by saying that he has died since he was a child."

"What made your Mom and Dad do that, Luccane?" I was confused and astonished, considering Vin was no less handsome and gentle like Luccane.

"Vin has a severe mental disorder, at that time there was no medicine or therapy that was really able to help Vin to treat his disease. But, there are things that make Papa and Mama always haunted by guilt for being Vin's parents," said Luccane.

"Pulpation of guilt? Wh why? What's going on?"

"The mental disorder experienced by Vin is very extreme, making him very manipulative and not even reluctant to take the lives of others to achieve his goals" Luccane said with a distant look.

I closed my mouth with my hands, not expecting to hear such a dark secret from the Luccane family. I did not expect that Luccane's life in the past was much heavier than my shadow all along.

"I was young and innocent at the time, not knowing how to prevent Vin from doing such reckless things" Luccane said.

"Yes, yeah, actually in the photo there are two people, namely me and Vin, but Papa tore up the picture of Vin because it is people other than family in this house and the Babu and Jongos who work here already assuming Vin is dead" Luccane explained with a hard look for me to interpret.

The fact that Vin and Luccane are twins alone makes my head woozy.

What am I supposed to do? Moreover, Vin has been showing up and teasing me a lot lately. If I am exposed to Vin's temptation then I could be dragged further and further into trouble.

My God, why is dealing with astral beings so troublesome? Huh.. I should how?

"Visha, whatever the reason I beg you not to get too close to Vin," pleaded Luccane with a pair of neutrals of hers looking at me expectantly.

...****************...

I looked at the old wooden door at the end of the hallway to my kitchen. I didn't know that the room I thought this warehouse was Vin's room, Luccane's twin brother I just knew the truth about.

With a lock on my old-fashioned model that I found in Luccane's room, I opened the door to Vin's room trying to figure out another truth about this wealthy businessman's family.

The distinctive moist smell of dust greeted my sense of smell, making me slightly cough. In a hurry I put a medical mask hanging from my ears, started to walk slowly down Vin's room.

The room was all black and did not emit life, making me shudder. Inwardly, trying to guess what Vin was like while he was alive.

All the furniture in the room was black, in line with the color of the wall paint.

My attorneys were then drawn to a medium-sized figura lying on Vin's bed, containing a complete photograph of the Luccane family. In the photo there are Mama, Papa, Luccane and also Vin who is smiling happily looking like family in general at that time.

"What makes Vin mentally damaged so huh? Is this just a coincidence factor? But I don't know why I feel like there's an oddity in it" I muttered curiously, remembering Luccane's words.

I put the figura back, shuffled towards the study table in the left corner of the room. Seemed a glass container filled with flowers that had dried on the edge of the table made me more curious seems to what happened to Vin.

Luccane even refused to tell me how Vin actually died making my curiosity even higher.

My hand grabbed a book that caught my attention from the roughly two-meter-high wooden bookshelf. The cover of an old Dutch book immediately greeted my pair of eyes, lucky I always tried hard to learn Dutch by self-taught since a few months ago.

"Target list? What the hell does this mean? Why is there such a strange book in a young man's room?" I muttered, sitting on Vin's desk chair and starting to read a thick, yellowed book that had been eaten that age.

I began to read the book with natural illumination from the sunlight that entered through the window of the room whose curtain was deliberately opened.

Both my eyes were wide in disbelief after sheet after sheet in the book I continued to read and read back every word that was written neatly using the handwriting in Dutch. My breath stuck in my throat found a shocking fact in every single one of the books.

"Huh? What the fuck is all that written in this book?!"
