EPISODE 14 SWEET DAUGHTER
I came out of my room into the torture factory room and Declan and Dagrin were already waiting for me.
“What’s next now mistress?” Dagrin asked.
We were still talking when a scream tore out of my step mum’s lips and minutes later her lover screamed too.
I smiled and looked at Dagrin who in turn understood what I meant.
He went to them and came out with my step mum alone.
“What about her lover?” I asked him and was about going close to my step mum when my migraine started.
I lost balance and was about to land on the floor when strong arms held me. I stared up to see myself in the arms of Declan and at that moment I felt the world stand still.
I got lost staring at him but shouted at him to put me down when I regained myself.
“What was that for? Why did you carry me up like a kid? Do I look like one to you? And why were you staring at me that way?”
“I just saved your life mistress. I…”
“And who told you I was going to fall? I know you purposely held me so that you can touch me” I interrupted him.
“Hmm” Dagrin breathed. “He just saved your life mistress and you were the one staring deeply at him that for a moment I saw love in your eyes.”
“You must be blind then, call doctor Frank to get you medicated eyeglass and when did you start seeing things from the eyes… I meant your blind eyes.”
“Sorry mistress” He chuckled. “I perceive a nice union coming.”
“Are you making a mockery of me Dagrin? Get your ass over here.”
He came close using his hands to cover his head and I laughed out.
“Lol. Get out big head.”
My step mum chuckled a little and we all turned to her.
“It must have taken you a lot to laugh mum” I teased her. “How do you feel?”
“I know nothing about what you passed through kid” She sighed. “I’m not who you think I am.”
I stared at her so dazed and confused. “What do you mean?”
“She meant to say that she is not your step mum!” her lover shrieked from the electric machine and I waved at Declan to get him out.
Declan brought him and sat him down on the floor. “What are you, blabbering dude!” He barked at him.
He fell and started sobbing. “She is your step mums twin sister.”
“What!” We all screamed together.
“It was what you heard us murmuring earlier today” he winced. “I was telling her to tell you the truth.”
“My step mum is a twin? We’ve been torturing the wrong person?”
“Yes, kid. I don’t blame you though but please I can’t take it anymore. Please tell one of your men to fuck me. My body is on fire.”
I chuckled and waved my head. “Stop playing this game mum cause it won’t favor you. I’ve known you as a very cunny lady but didn’t know you will go to this extreme.”
“You’re a twin yet she didn’t come for your wedding with my dad? And you both have the same lover?”
“C’mon mum, think of a better lie cause I’m not a kid you can fool with such silly lies.”
“I know you won’t believe me” She cried. But will you let me tell you my story? At least before I die.”
“Speak.”
FLASHBACK
A long time ago even before you were born we knew who your father was. I once had a crush on your father when we all were younger cause he lived with his parents in the same estate as us. He was our next-door neighbor. I told my twin about him but never knew she had eyes for him too.
For several years I nursed my feelings for him and kept waiting for the right time to confess to him but then I mistakenly stumbled on my twin’s diary and got to know she had eyes for him too and was waiting for the right time to shoot her shot too.
She’s always been that way. She’s always been the one to take away any guy I fall in love with and end up hurting them while I bear the consequences cause we have no spot to differentiate us except that I’m the good twin while she is the bad one.
I couldn’t let her take your father away from me as she always did with others cause I knew she will only end up hurting him so I warned her to stay off him cause I saw him first and loved him first but she wouldn’t listen. She went behind my back and met up with him but came back that night in tears of how your dad rejected her and I got furious at her for even going in the first place.
We exchanged harsh words and almost fought but then I held myself back and left that day but told someone to be looking after her to know her movements cause I didn’t trust her.
She went to your father again after the first and he still rejected her and after that day she got rejected he made a party announcing his fiancee to the world… Your mum. That was the beginning of my twin’s hatred for your mum.
To her, your mum stole her man when your mum did nothing. A week later after your dad announced your mum to the world they got married and I removed him from my heart.
I met my twin and warned her not to try anything evil against your mum before I traveled out cause she blackmailed me and I had no other option than to run for my life.
This cheater here was my boyfriend I got weeks after the clash with my sister. We discussed and he told me he will wait for me but I never knew he went behind my back and had things with my sister and I never knew my sister did such bad things to your family.
I just recently got back a day before you met me in his house. I don’t know how it happened but before you guys came he told me everything they did and pleaded for mercy. I had no other option than to forgive him cause I was seriously in need of sex. Now I wished I ran away.
***
“Was that why you screamed I survived when you saw me?”
“Yes. I knew when you were born and kept track till you grew of age but then my informant got killed by something or someone I don’t know till now making me lose contact with what was happening with your family.”
“You knew your twin was our neighbor?”
“Yes, I did.”
“Then why didn’t you fucking tell us that she was evil?”
“I swear I told my informant to warn your mum of my sister and he did.”
“Can you still remember the day you and your brother got back from school and met your mum crying?”
“Yes, I can. What about that day?”
“Your mum got into a fight with my twin after my informant told her about my twin as my informant told me. He said it wasn’t a little fight. And that they threatened each other.”
“I got really scared for you all but couldn’t come down cause the police were still after me so I told my informant to warn your mum to be careful. That was the last time I ever heard from him.”
“Wow” Dagrin and Declan exclaimed. “So you mean to say that her mum is still out there?”
“Yes, she is. I’m 100% sure of it and this dude here should be questioned of her whereabouts too cause I don’t trust him.”
I exhaled and Declan rushed to the dude, held him and he started laughing.
“She knows you are alive and knows your whereabouts and will soon come for you after she’s done with your brother” he mumbled and Declan landed a blow on him and he fell.
“Lock him in the electric machine Declan and Dagrin get me the antidote and my drugs please.”
Declan carried him to the electric machine while Dagrin went to get the drugs.
“You will be fine kid” my step mum’s twin, as she said, whispered and came close to me. I went into her arms and for the first time I allowed it all out. I poured out my tears on her body and she rubbed my shoulders.
“Sorry” I whispered in her ears and cleaned my eyes when Dagrin and Declan came back.
I gave her the antidote which she drank and I did mine too.
Just then my phone rang and I brought it out to see it was doctor Frank calling.
“Who is it?” Declan and Dagrin asked.
“Doctor Frank,” I replied and clicked receive.
“Hello, Frank. How is my brother?” I muttered but there wasn’t any reply.
I was about to end the call out of anger when a voice I’ll never forget breathed.
“Hello, sweet daughter,” she whispered and the phone fell from my hand.
