"Dn and I both worked in a hospital as night shift caregivers..."


    My brows involuntarily rode up my hairline. It was really difficult to picture either of them as a caregiver.Copyright by N?v/elDrama.Org.


    Lucas was admitted to the hospital where Dn and Luigi worked.


    Lucas'' wealth was known to everyone in the hospital. And this coupled with the fact that he was young caught their attention.


    They deliberately got closer to Lucas intending to swindle him of some money. Lucas, who had been sick and lonely since childhood quickly bonded with Dn and Luigi who were also around his age. So it was easy for them to get to know things about him.


    My heart ached at this knowledge. If Lucas had had more friends, he might have been able to sniff theat Luigi and Dn weren''t really interested in being his friends but wanted his money. But then, Lucas was smart and very intuitive. Maybe he had just overlooked it because he was desperate forpany, even though he never showed it, he always yearned to have someone to talk to.


    "At first, we didn''t have any n." Luigi went on, still refusing to look me in the eyes, "we just went with the flow, hoping an opportunity will present itself. One morning, after our shifts, we had said our goodbyes to Lucas and were going home when Dn proposed an idea. He had recognized the family ring on Lucas'' finger and it belonged to the Esposito''s family here in Naples. So he made it seem like he was suggesting," Luigi threw an unguarded re at Dn and he chuckled. "That I had a say. He said he would take on Lucas'' identity so that we could attain a lot of wealth to set ourselves up for life. As Lucas illness was fatal and his death was inevitable anyway. The-"


    Dn suddenly interrupted Luigi with an irritatingugh, "You remember what I said at that part?" He asked amidstughter. "I said what use was wealth when it belonged to the dead," he finished andughed even harder.


    Luigi and I just stared nkly at him and wondered how I had not seen him for the maniac that he was.


    "Okay, go on," he sobered up and cleaned the small tears in the corner of his eyes.


    "At first, I disagreed," Luigi said quietly, "But Dn was quite a persuasive person. He sweet-talked me, made me see the benefit in the long run and eventually," his voice was even quieter this time that I had to strain my ears to hear him, "I agreed and we started to make ns.


    "Dn began to imitate Lucas''s actions, everything about Lucas and since he had the same.build and eye color with him, it was easier. We spent a long time preparing until we felt Dn hadpletely transformed into Lucas. We even ran a test. We locked Lucas, who was on a drug induced sleep after another debilitating fever, in the bathroom and Dn pretended to be Lucas on his hospital bed and wore some sheet mask that Lucas liked to wear and no one could tell that it was the wrong person, not even the doctor. Even his maid couldn''t tell."


    Wow.


    "That was lit, bro," Dnzilymented.


    "After then, we moved forward to another crucial step of our n..." he trailed off and paused. "And that was getting rid of Lucas.


    "We tricked Lucas into going camping with us in the forest. He was excited about the new experience. In the forest, we drugged him into a permanent sleep and buried his body in the forest," Luigi''s gaze flicked to my side before he quickly looked away again. "It was the only way we could avoid a death report at the hospital.


    I let out an involuntary gasp at the sheer cruelness of these two.


    "Now, that was the day Lucas got discharged at the hospital. His maid had gone to find the driver whom we made wandered away. Lucas found the idea of sneaking away very exciting so yeah." He shrugged, "before the end of the day, he was dered missing. For a week, I had to keep covering up our tracks as Dn quickly underwent facial stic surgery.
