DARE TO LEAVE
Episode 20
They all drove in their separate cars to the house.
Tailing closing behind each other
As they drove to Lucia and pascal’s home
Pascal couldn’t believe that Lucia has been tailing all this while.
No wonder he keeps noticing that black Camry everywhere he goes
And now she actually she actually left the kids to pursue me in the middle of the night
Just this morning she went in his car to jenny’s house and damage the poor girl’s phone
What is wrong with this woman
Lydia didn’t expect to see Lucy show up at the hotel like that
Her escape routine has not been going as planned.
Everything just keeps getting twisted.
Her shared moment with pascal, where she actually wished she had never let him go.
And now Lucia is actually blaming her for her own problems and she left the kids in the house all alone.
Lucia felt like strangling someone.
She knew that her husband and sister had a past but she never thought they would go behind her back like this.
She could have sworn she trusted lydy with her life but apparently her sister is the real backstabbing bitch and she had been oblivious about it this whole tim.
When they pulled into the compound.
Lucia ran out of the car to check the kids upstairs. Nothing could be more messed up than the kids in danger.
When she got to their room. They were soundly asleep, she sighed heavily and kiss their forehead before heading back downstairs.
Lydia and Pascal were mounting the stairs together and whispering something to each other and that got her even more upset
It took all she had to not bounce on her and beat the living daylight out of her sister.
“They are fine…. ” she yelled as she walked past them. Shoulder bumping Lydia as she went downstairs.
Pascal went upstairs quickly.
“Thank God the kids are doing OK ”
Lydia said
“Like You care…… ”
“What do you mean by that. You know that I care about those kids like they are mine”
“Is that why.. You are trying so hard to destroy my family. So that you can have them all”
“What are you talking about….. ”
Pascal hurried back downstairs
“Let me handle this pancho ”
“Ohhh pancho…. How sweet ”
“Lucia…. Did you hire that guy to trail me everywhere I go ”
” ehhhhn And so…”
“And You endangered our children’s life twice ”
“You can’t blame me for that.. You are their father too, why can’t you stay at home with them”
“So leaving them alone is right”
“Am not saying that, and don’t you dare turn this on me.. You are the cause of it all”
“How…. ”
“You spending time with those women more than your own family ”
“What family… The same one you left to chase after your hired stalker”
” Is it not because of that I was able to discover all your promiscuous ways. How you go about with different women ”
“Have You actually lost it… What kind of dirty mind do you have. What women are you referring to ”
“All of them… Starting with this two faced backstabbing bitch I called my sister”
“You are out of your mind ”
“Yes…. Pascal I have lost my mind and it all thanks to you, We are supposed to be happily married with kids but you choose to wander about with various women….. What else can I do to satisfy. What more do you want… Do you want to kill me……. I have given you all that I have and it still isn’t enough… What kind of a man are you……. How else can I make you see that I am losing my mind because of you ”
“Stop yelling at me”
“I will yell all I want… Am not the one sleeping with my wife’s sister ”
“Whaaaat ” Lydia gasped
“Whatttt are you saying… ”
“Ohhh pls……. I should have known all this while you keep running to her aid and acting like you are indebted to her.. I should have known when you chose to spend days with her in the hospital and you can’t even stand me for a day. I should have realized it when her picture frame is hanging on top of your nightstand…. All this while I thought it was because you thought I was the one in this picture.. I didn’t know I was a fool of my own imagination. We have been married for six years and that’s exactly how long you have been cheating on me with my own sister ”
Lydia slumped to the floor and Pascal hurried to catch her making Lucia more furious
“How could you do this to me lydy ” she screamed….. “After everything that we’ve been through, how can you hurt me like this… How can you betray me like this… You are my only family.. You are suppose to be my best friend, my defender…. But No.. You enjoyed riding my husband and destroying my home…… ”
Lucia burst into tears and Lydia joined her and for awhile all that echoed in the room was the tears of the twin sister
“You are right,, Lucia ” Pascal said softly
“I have been cheating on you… All six years We’ve been married ”
“What are you saying… Pascal ” Lydia whispered
“I never stopped loving you Lydia… Not once, we may have been just kids while we were together but the love that we shared was out of this world and even after so many years I am still madly driven by it. So much that I let it take over my heart even while I’m still married to your sister.. I wake everyday wishing it was you by my side and not Lucia…. ”
Lydia nods her head
“So much so I keep trying to make you happy even though am not lucky enough to call you mine ”
“So You got married to me because I share the same face with the woman you love ”
“At the beginning.. Yes, when I found out Lydia had gotten married to some rich guy from the state. I was so angry, I had searched everywhere for her but it was like she didn’t want to be found… And then you came along Lucia and it felt right to be with you and so we got married ”
“So You married me to get back at her”
“No….. Maybe to he closer to her ”
“Then why did you marry me Pascal. Why did you give me this ring. Why am I claiming you are mine ”
“Because You represented light to the darkness that covered my soul… You made me forge ahead, strive to be better bigger… You came into my life when all hope was gone and I didn’t think I had it in me to succeed again..
.. That is why despite everything you did.. I could never DARE TO LEAVE You.. You are my partner, my good luck charm, the mother of my children and my solid rock. No one can do the things that you have done for me…. So yes I am sorry for hanging on to the love that was never mine and making you feel insecure in your home”
“Lucy…… When I got home that day seeing you lying beside mom’s dead body crying your eyes out. I felt so guilty, all the time mom was always having those outbreaks I was never around and when you try to tell me I just waved you off. I was so consumed by my teenage love and freedom that I forgot my obligation to you and to MOM. Because I had a long phase of my sick period as a child that I just wanted to enjoy everything… An ailment that you saved me from. If you hadn’t donated a kidney for me. I probably won’t be here right now. And after I got back on my feet.. I started to live for me alone which is the most selfish thing I have ever done…… I should have been there, I should have been there for you.. I am so sorry ”
She sob harder
“Which is why even after I found out that Pascal was your soon to be husband.. I didn’t try to take that happiness from you.. Coz I know how much you loved me when we were little and you deserve that much for all you have been through… I am sorry I made you feel like a stranger in your husband’s heart but I have never dared to snatch him from you and I never would and nothing happened between me and Pascal tonight…. I swear and am sorry for making you feel betrayed ”
Lucia giggled as tears ran down her cheeks.
“My…our Mother lost her senses because of my father, she was blindly in love that she allowed my father satisfy his pleasures in any way he wanted, he would go days, weeks to his mistress house until he obsessed with it and eventually left my mother heartbroken. She spent most of her time, crying and hallucinating his presence Until she woke up one morning and overdosed. .. I watched her die slowly and painfully because of a man.. It was the most terrifying day of my life…. I had really unlucky with men until you came along.. You were my dream man and it felt too good to be true… So I made sure I don’t make the same mistakes as my mother. So u don’t lose you or myself in the process… I tried harder to keep my home and I admit… It went too far and I couldn’t help myself but it doesn’t justify my mistakes .. Am so so so sorry ”
The doorbell rang and they wondered who it was, it was just 5:20 in the morning
If the gateman had let the person in then he/she must be relevant
Pascal opened the door and Ken was standing outside
“What are you doing here ”
“Look, am sorry for waking you .. I have been looking everywhere for my wife and I just thought I’d come here and ask ”
“She’s not here and don’t you think it too early to be roaming around and waking people up”
“Am sorry… I’m just ”
Pascal didn’t let him finish, he shut the door to his face
“Who was that”
“Lydia’s husband ”
“Ken is here… ”
“In the flesh ”
“Then let him in ”
“What! are you sure… ”
“Yes am sure”
Pascal nods and open the door and he was still standing there
“You are still here”
“Can’t leave… I know she’s in there ”
“How”
“Her car is packed out here”
“That could be the neighbor’s.. Anyway come in”
“Thank You ” He walked in and approached the sisters
“Hi… Lucia… Hello babe”
“Dont babe her. Not after all you have done ”
“I am so sorry… It was terrible mistake, one that I would foreverly be guilty for. “He went on his knees “pls forgive me mY love. ”
“I saw you change from the man that I know to a monster in a week.. That scared shit out of me….. I don’t know if I can ever forget that”
“I am so ashamed for my behavior.. All I have wanted was to make you happy I don’t know what came over me ”
“Ohhh I think you do”
“Alcohol… ” he admitted
“And You bad influence of a sister… No offense ”
“None taken…. She left yesterday… I sent her out when I realized she wasn’t bothered about my happiness and my home. She was happy that I was unhappy.. I also found out her husband divorced her and has full custody over their son… She might be my sister but she’s a terrible person ”
“So the she devil…is gone” Lucia smiled
“That still doesn’t change what happened….. Until about some hours ago I was thinking of filing a divorce but… I guess they are things in this marriage that is worth fighting for ”
“Ohh thank you so much baby.. You have no idea how much I need you in my life”
“Ohh don’t thank me yet… I still need to think carefully about it and that would be after my one month vacation trip with Lucy ”
“That’s fine with me…. Anything is fine with me”
“Beggar with no choice ” Lucia said and they all laughed
And stayed happy…. For as long as they could
