Neptune Nights: The Twisted Tales Challenge Contributions post
Once upon a time, there were two brothers, who ruled their clan with severity but fairness. The elder brother’s name was Liam while the younger was called Connor. One night, when Connor was supposed to visit his elder brother, he returned home to find his beautiful girlfriend in bed with another. He shot them both and asked his brother for help to dispose of their bodies.
He moved to live with Liam after that, but his brother’s happiness with his fiancé nagged at him because it reminded him of his cheating dead girlfriend. Once though, when Liam was out on business and Connor was supposed to go with him, he stayed behind because he wasn’t feeling well. That’s when he found out that his beloved brother’s soon-to-be-wife was having an affair.
He informed Liam of her infidelity and the two made sure to catch her in the act. After another round of true Irish revenge, the brothers, believing all women to be whores, swore to never be tricked by female wiles ever again.

Veronica looked into Liam Fitzpatrick’s cold eyes and knew that she was done for. She cursed herself for not telling Logan that she was investigating Doctor Griffith because he certainly wouldn’t have let her go into the lair of the Irish mob on her own. But as it was, she was alone and Liam’s hand closed around her neck mercilessly. The tattoo machine drew in on her cheek and she could feel it’s vibrations stirring the soft down.
“So, I’m just gonna start over here, and as soon as I hear something resembling the truth, I’ll stop.”
Veronica knew she had to think, and fast. At least, she had to buy herself some time until her father would start to worry and track her cell phone. Since she couldn’t utter a word with Liam’s stranglehold, she motioned for him to let her go. He eased his hold on her, but kept it strong enough to keep her pinned to the pool table. The tattoo machine’s buzzing was loud in her ears as Veronica gulped in some air, then glanced up at Liam.
“Okay,” she said. “I’ll tell you what you want to know.”
And these are the stories Veronica told Liam to prolong her life as much as possible.
