I Married A Pair Of Comatose Twins

My mother, Jennifer Spencer, sighed for the tenth time today. She was already dreading having to help my younger brother, Lucas Spencer, come up with the money to get married.I felt bad for her, so I decided to comfort her. But she slapped me instead. She spat at me and said angrily, “If you hadn’t taken more than your share of nutrients from me when you were both in the womb, Lucas wouldn’t be so weak now! He needed five hundred thousand dollars to get married, but right now, it would take him forever to earn that amount. Otherwise, he would’ve found a wife by now.”Over the years, I was used to being beaten. I did not argue. I quietly stood up.A thin figure stood in front of me.“Mom, I told you! Stop mistreating Liam. Why are you picking on him again?“Besides, Liam isn’t even married yet. Why should I be in a hurry?”Lucas was always good to me. He would even leave me the leftover chicken bones to gnaw on.He was different from our mother. She would rather leave the left

“Please, go out. I’ve got this on my own.”But I could not push Naomi away.Her eyes shone with an eerie light as she stared.“How about I stay and help you out? It’s your first time. You don’t really know what you’re doing.”This marriage was already strange enough, but my girlfriend offering to help me get intimate with two dead women was even more bizarre.I did not want to do that in front of her. I quickly shook my head. Only after I repeatedly promised that I could handle it alone did Naomi reluctantly leave.“If anything happens, just holler at me. I’ll be right outside the door.”There was another reason I sent Naomi away. I never truly planned to sleep with the twins.I locked the door. Then, I curled up in a corner.No matter how beautiful they were, I was not going to share a bed with two corpses!“Please don’t blame me. I’m just really short on cash—Ahhh!”Before I could finish mumbling, one of the women on the bed sat upright and grabbed my arm. “Don’t scream!

I was stunned.I could not understand. Why did Naomi want five hundred thousand dollars? Lucas mentioned he wanted that money to get married. Was Lucas marrying Naomi?“Liam, the reason I felt a connection with you the moment we met was… because my family favors sons over daughters. That’s why I couldn’t help but want to help you. It was like… helping my past self.“I meant it when I confessed my feelings to you.“But both of us are the outcasts of our families. If I marry you, my children will also grow up as outcasts. I’m sorry. The first time I went home with you and saw how well your mother treated Lucas, my heart wavered.“If I marry him, my future in-laws will definitely care about me too.“I know this isn’t fair to you. But I really don’t have any other choice. My parents insist on the five hundred thousand dollars if I want to marry Lucas. That’s why he needs the money. If I don’t bring that money back, my parents will definitely beat me to death!”Naomi grabbed my hand

Naomi sounded gentle and patient. If not for the woman’s warning, I might have actually believed her and gone out to cry in her arms.I did not dare move at all. I even slowed down my breathing.Naomi grew impatient when she could not find me.Her phone rang.“Mom, he’s not here!“Yeah. No matter how I try to sweet-talk him, he won’t come out! I don’t know what’s gotten into him.“What about you and Dad? Did you find him?“That doesn’t make sense! He’s never been here before, and he’s on foot. How far could he have gone?“Fine! Tell Dad to take the car and go look for him.”The more I listened, the more my heart raced in fear. Were Fred and Wilma Naomi’s parents?It was lucky I had been able to run.Naomi started walking back and grew smaller as she walked into the distance.I was so glad I chose to trust that woman. Naomi really was part of that elderly couple’s family.She had a younger brother! So, why was she trying to trick me into sleeping with the twin sisters?C
