Chapter seventy three
I will find you Lucy
Lola is dialing a number on her phone. The receiver picks up.
Lola: Hello Mom
Mom: Lola dear, How are you?
Lola: I'm fine.
Mom: I'm busy Lola, I'll call you later
Lola: You're not gonna call later…
Mom: I will…
Lola: I just wanted to ask you something
Mom: What is that?
Lola: Did you deceive Dad into having us?
Mom: What are you saying dearie? We had you together and we love you both
Lola: Your relationship with Dad doesn't say so
Mom: Look Lola, not today. Please
Lola: You and Dad can't be together because you both love someone else, there's no connection between you guys
Mom: Nothing like that, Lola
Lola: Oh sorry, you love other men
Mom: Lola!
Lola: Dad's love is back and she has a son for him who looks exactly like him
Mom: What?!
Lola: Yeah.
And I just called to say that I like her son, he would be a good brother and she sure would be good mother.
Mom: Lola, don't say that!
Lola: I'm okay with her being my stepmom
Mom: What's her name? Tell Me her address
Lola:No, I won't
(Hangs up)
Lila: (enters Lola room) Hey Barbie, what's up?
Lola: Diego is Dad's son
Lila: What?!?
Lola: Yeah
Lila: Stop fantasizing, Lola
Lola: Seriously Lila. I heard aunties saying it, they did a DNA test
Lila: Oh my World!
Lola: Yeap
Lila: So Diego is our brother! Wow!
Wait until he hears this
Lola: His mom hid Dad from him
Lila : I bet she has her reasons
Lola: So Lucy in the KBL is Diego's mom. She did music and Diego never knew
He would be so mad at her
Lila: Yeap but he still would forgive her at last. She's a good mother, maybe she didn't want to hurt him
Lola: Yeah, I think so
Unlike some mother who drugged a man and force herself on her to give birth
Lila: She's only a mother by giving birth, she has never showed love
She just trapped Dad to become popular
Lola: She's a good planner.
I told her we would fully accept Diego and his mom into our lives
Lila: You told her what?!?
Lola: I told her everything
Lila: Why?!?
Lola: It isn't bad if she knows, right? Like I don't want her to feel neglected or something, you know, when Diego and Lucy become part of our lives
Lila: You're the dumbest human ever!
You should know how dangerous that woman is. She would want to hurt Lucy and Diego
Lola: Why? She doesn't love Dad, she doesn't love us either
Lila: But would want to keep her status! I know she never got married to Dad but the popularity and connection she has, just because they know she had children for Dad, Do you think she would want to let go of these things?
Lola: I didn't think about this
Lila: What should we do now?!
Lola: Aunties said they are going to tell Dad about it, what if we tell Dad I told mom when he comes to explain to us?
He would definitely come to tell us about everything
Lila: And when is Dad going to get back?
I suggest we tell Diego, tomorrow at school
He should know and find a way to protect his mom
Lola: Oh yeah, that's good too
—---------------
Lady: What fucking person from nowhere is that? Coming to take my life away from me?!
I knew that boy must have something to do with K!
I will not let this happen. No!
I will not!
I will find you Lucy or whatever you are and make you go silent forever!

Ela is at the sitting, she gets a call from an unknown number. After hesitation, she picks up
Ela: Good evening

Ela: What the hell are you saying?
Caller: You are the star chef, chef Ela, right?
