"M-My b-brother?" I dropped every single thing I was holding, my body feeling helpless upon hearing her confession.

"Yes Lorenzo, I met him and he wants to see you. We wanted this to be a surprise." She squeezed my shoulders gently, stroking my already pale skin. What? That wasn't possible.

"It can't be. No, no! H-He's gone," I whispered as my heart raced, the blood racing through my veins as I felt my breath get heavy. It couldn't be.

"Well, it is possible, my man." Havier's hand gestured to the corridor doorway.

"I'm right here brother, long time no see," I heard a deep male voice speak and my eyes followed the tall guy who looked like a replica of me.

Instead of our originally dark hair, his was now bleached to blond and he was lean and very muscular just like me.

His blue eyes matched mine, his nose, his ears, lips, everything about him was similar to me and I felt a cold chill enter my body upon seeing him right before me. It felt like a dream that I didn't want to wake up from. How was he in my house? Standing right in front of me?

"Luca? I-Is that you?" My voice was hoarse with shock and emotion.

He stood directly before me as I inspected him closely. He held out his arm towards me as if knowing exactly what I wanted to use to verify if he really was my blood brother.

I pushed his sleeve up and gasped quietly when I saw the exact same birthmark that I had on the same arm. I couldn't comprehend what was happening and most of all, I couldn't believe that he had found me.

"It really is you!" I smiled as he opened his arms and pulled me into a comforting hug.

I tightened my grip around him as I felt the tears well up in my eyes from holding my brother. I choked on a small sob, unable to decipher everything.

When our mother had us, she was very young and unsure of how to take care of us. Her parents had given her the ultimatum to leave if she wanted to keep us, or to get rid of us if she wanted to stay with them.

So she took the latter option and put us in the garbage cans nearby. She called her best friend's older sister, Havier's mother, then found us and took us under her wing, fending for the both of us until we were about seven years old. But our mother never visited or checked up on us.

From there, she married a very abusive and wicked man who hated Luca, Havier and I's guts with a passion because we apparently, 'diverted' his wife's attention from him.

He used to beat us a lot, lock us up in the basement or starve us for hours or sometimes make us sleep outside in the cold dark night.

The three of us then decided to run away from the house after he had tried to murder us.
