Read Story: SEASON 1 EPISODE 4

The twin had moved down west to pursue their university education, their WEAC results nice except for the c4 Lara had in mathematics, she still blamed Lora who got an A1 parallel. Mrs Susan was happy her daughters could make their WEAC results, without a resit, she was happier for Lara who was not that bright getting a few Bs and As in her exam . Lora had an excellent score of three fifty in chemistry, biology, physis and English, which got her an admission to UI to read medicine on the merit list, and Lara crawled through into the law department at the same school.

Lora asked that they stay on school hostel and in separate blocks for privacy , but Lara wouldn’t hear of that, she was scared of living with strangers , so Mrs Susan Osuji insisted that she would get the twins an apartment in the neighborhood around the school .

“Lara why are you making spaghetti again? I cannot be eating spaghetti week in week out!

Lara ignored her , as shs tore the sachet of spaghetti, that she dumped in the put of boiling water.

“Lara am talking to you, and you’re busy ignoring me , like an invincible insect!”

Lara hissed .

“Please stop yelling at me , mum gave me the money , I have the right to make decisions as to what we’ll eat in this house.”

Lara said.

“So I no longer have say on this matter ? You’re now the soul controller of the kitchen ?”

Lara went on cooking , as she poured the per boiled spaghetti into the the pot of stew she had prepared and mixed with water.

“Lora you think you’re the wisest! And am dull! You may have the wisdom, but I’ve mum’s ears in my mouth, whatever I say she’ll do , so I would advise you to shut up and prepare whatever is provided.”

Lot was furious, she bounced into her bedroom to get her phone.

“Hello mummy!”

Mrs Susan Osuji picked the call grudgingly. She hissed and said

“What is it again! Are you calling to ask for more money or report your sister! To be candid I dont so much time on my hands, I have piled high on my table! What is it ?”.

Lora thought about hanging up , she was silent on the phone

“Hello Lora! Have you gone off?”

Mrs Osuji asked .

“I’m hear mum you’ve not heard from me yet , but you go ahead to judge me! Mum you’re not being fair to …”

Mrs Susan cut her of

“How dare you accuse me ? You ungrateful child, I pay your fees , I provide your food ! I put clothes on your body! And you have the guts to call me names !” Where Is your useless father now that you need him? Why did you called me in the middle of a working day?”

Lora didn’t want to say anything but then on a second thought , she spoke.

“Mum why do you give our welfare money to Lara? She’s my younger sister mum! How can Lora be deciding what we eat and what not, am tired of eating noddles and Spagh mum .”

Mrs Osuji was super pissed at Lora .

“Lora you called me on the middle of a working day , to tell me about common food ? Lora you’re a big fool! Never you ever call my phone to tell me such trivial things. Eat whatever she cooks! It’s my money I give it to whomever I please, if you don’t like that pack your load and come to Abuja or go Lagos and find your useless father!”

Lora broke down in tears, Lara began to laugh at her

“I thought you want to report me to Jesus? Why did you only report to mum ”

Lara laughed so hard, that torrents of tears began to cascade her beautiful and radiant meat pie skin .

Lora locked herself up for the rest of the day , her grades where falling, Lara had returned from the lecture hall, that afternoon, after her class on human anatomy, the lecture, her lecturer, had requested they get a particular textbook which she called her mum who insulted her and referred her father in Lagos .

She had deleted his number two years earlier when he had promised to come see her , and he repeatedly failed. She picked her phone and dialed his number, as it was ringing, she placed her hand on the end call key, when she heard his thick baritone voice.

“Hello who am I speaking to .”

Lora became deaf and dumb.

“Hello who is this? Why are you silent?”

Lora summoned courage and said.

“Hello! Good day sir this me.”

Mr Desmond was appalled by such reply.

“Sorry sir it’s me Lora.”

She waited for his response and got a cold one.

“Okay Lora? What is it ? Why are you calling me ?

Lora was disappointed in his response, even if he and her mother had a fallen out, It doesn’t mean ,he should treat her like a trash.

“Please dad, I need assistance, I’m in UI studying medicine, and mum had not been helping matters, she’s intentionally punishing me by not giving enough money, go run things .”

Mr Desmond had severed all ties with Mrs Susan after , their breakup nineteen years ago, because it almost ended his marriage, to Teniola a daughter of a multi billionaire, he left Susan for her after he saw the opportunity to get rich with connection, Susan had told him to stay away from her children

” Lora your proud mother, asked me not to connect with you, please don’t call my number again! My wife doesn’t know you exist!”

Lora couldn’t hold back ths tears.

“So dad my mum hates me and my dad despise me ? What did I do wrong to the both of you? You only brought me into this world to suffer right? I’ve not known parental love in the eighteen years of my life ! Dad you and mum are the most terrible parents on earth I’ll do whatever I’ll do to get the money.”

Lora’s words touched Mr Desmond, he knew how often, she had been trying to connect him, but he kept shutting her out .

He felt dirty and guilty .

“Lora send me your account number let me transfer some amount into your account, I will send you two hundred thousand naira I believe that would go a long way to help lessen some of your dues .”

Lora was already heart broken.

“Thank you Mr Desmond I don’t need your love or your money anymore.”

She hunged up the call and blocked him, immediately his wife Tiniola walked into the sitting room.

“I heard you talking to a woman , you want to send two hundred thousand to ! Desmond who is she she ? ”

Mr Desmond was caught off guard he didn’t have a response.

“Is she one of your side chicks you send my money to? Now give that phone to me! You’ll carrying my money and be be giving to small small girls up and down.”

she grabbed the phone from him, and dialed Lora’s number over and over, but it wasn’t reachable.

Bidemi had been calling Lora , her number wasn’t going through initially, but when it started going through Lora wasn’t answering, she called Lara and she kept bouncing the call . So she took a bike from female hostel to check on Lora at the lodge outside the school.

“Hello Lora sweetie what is it again? ”

Bidemi asked as she folded Lora into her embrace .

“Why are you crying Baby!”

She asked her .she had cried and her eyes were red.

” Bidemi I don’t know why my life is just full of suffering, my mum would give Lara money to buy designers clothes, bags and shoes, give her big sums as up keep money , bought her a new iphone, see my old android from two years ago ? Mum refused to give me money to buy handouts and textbooks… Bidemi why is life like this? I called my dad he asked me not to call him again, that his wife doesn’t know I exist , why don’t I just die ? Why Is this world so bitter for me? I’m tired of fighting.”

Bidemi consoled her .

“Abidemi I’m going to take up Sharon’s offer .”

Bidemi was shocked .

“No! No ! Lora you can’t do that! Call your Aunt Sharon, she’s going to help you .”

Lot reluctantly said no .

“I cannot do that anymore, she has her own family and responsibilities, I will cater for myself.”

Bidemi tried to talk her out of it , but her heart was fixed .that evening she wore some makeup, wore a short sequin dress Aunt Sharon had given her , for her eighteenth birthday, and she took a cab to Silver lounge, where she met Sharon and her friends, dancing with guys at a the club, a handsome guy with broad soldiers took Lora to a hotel .

It was a strange business to her, she was about changing her mind, but when she heard of the money at stake, fifty thousand naira, she had not been with anyone , after the incidence with Chinedu. She kept shifting as the man came closer.

“Is this your first time? He asked .

Lora shook her head. The guy wore his condoms, he held Lora down and had his way , she lay there crying watching him pleasure himself.
