Chapter seventy six
Kidnapped
Lucy: Wow!
I didn't know you went through that
Kris: Well, I'm me now…
Lucy: So…., How did you meet the twins mom?
Ena: The bitch drugged him
Kris: It happened like this…
Months after I came to San Diego, I couldn't find my Dad but I got an opportunity to play in the team. Well, after much difficulty and trials but when they knew that I was popular, I started gaining respect. My skills made me to be one of the team though
Diego: I would love to be one of the team too
Kris: You've got me dear
Gina: You still haven't told us how you met their mother
Kris: (chuckles) It's Lucy I owe explanation to, not you
Lucy: You don't owe me an explanation. It's your son you owe explanation to
(Silence)
Kris: Um…well, after that, I became popular, not that popular but I got fame
I met Selene at a bar, we got talking, I was drunk, extremely drunk….
Things happened and I never saw her until a month later when she said she was pregnant
I wasn't convinced but when the kids were born, the DNA said otherwise
Ela: The bitch planned it the whole time and got intimate with him when she knew she was ovulating
Gina: You can't get pregnant just like that?
Kris: We met twice after that
Lucy: Seriously Kris?!
Gina: Men will always be men
Ena: It wasn't his fault, the bitch always seduced him
Gina: And he couldn't resist?
Lucy: How many months did all this happen? I mean, how are they 10 years old
Kris: Diego is older with five months
Lucy: Nice
Ena: Kids, let's go upstairs (she takes the kids away)
Kris: I'm sorry Lucy
Lucy: You are sorry? Sorry for abandoning me and cheating on me?
Sorry for getting someone pregnant?
Sorry for never contacting or reaching out?
Ela: He was hiding… he didn't want to be assassinated
Lucy: Oh Fuck shit, Ela!
Kris, Kris I know, scared of death!
He fucking would face gun without fear!
Ela: I can't side you any longer brother, I should go. (goes upstairs)
Kris: I really am sorry….
I didn't want to burden you or disturb you
I didn't want you to be bothered about me
Lucy: Shut the fuck up!
Gina: You did no good thing Kris, at all
Kris: I didn't know, I….
Gina: To think I've been siding you all this while…
Lucy: And I thought you loved me….
I thought maybe you were just shy or something
Kris: I love you Lucy… I totally do
Lucy: You don't, okay?
You don't love me
Kris: (kneels) I swear with my life that I have always been looking for you
You didn't let me explain…
After she gave birth to the twins, I divorced her, she never liked me anyways
She's just using me for some connection
Lucy please understand
Nanny has always been the mother figure in the girls' life
Lucy: And you didn't bother to call NYC and see if Lucy was doing fine?
You didn't bother to reconcile and maybe be a family again?
Kris: I called. I searched for you…
A year after everything, I went to NYC but I couldn't find you
Lucy: I left for business school with Diego
Kris: Lucy, I'm so sorry
Lucy: Diego!!! Diego!
(Diego runs downstairs)
We are leaving. (Begins to walk out)
Kris: (runs after them) Lucy please don't leave me
Lucy: I don't wanna talk to you and don't you even think about following me
(They drive out)
Kris: Fuck! Fuck you Kris!!
Fuck you! (Hits his head on the wall, Ena comes to meet him)
Ena: Stop it!
Kris: Why don't I ever get to be happy?
Why? (Falls on the floor starts crying)
Ena: (sits on the ground with him and cuddles him)

Gina drops at a junction as she has to get something. She is happy Jimmy isn't being a bore as his Dad came this morning to take him to his grandma. Freedom, that's what she calls it
Gina: I will see you guys soon, let me buy the things.
And don't worry Lucy, I'll cook
Lucy: Just buy your things and come, I'll just order food
Diego: What things are you buying?
Gina: Ladies stuff
I'll stop a taxi, bye guys
(Lucy drives off)
Diego: Will she be okay on her own?
Lucy: She's a grown woman and she got GPS
Nothing can go wrong
Diego: I'm sorry about what I said, I thought you were at wrong
Lucy: It's okay
Diego: I hope you're fine?
Lucy: I'm fine….
Diego: He is sorry..
Lucy: Yeah, I know
Diego: Then why didn't you make him know that you know he is sorry?
Lucy: I just…. You won't understand
Diego: I understand…. This time I do.
(Lucy sees a car that has been following them since, she sways to the other side of the road but it follows. She is close to her house but she turns the other way)
Diego: Our house is just there (pointing to their house)
Lucy: Stop pointing and do as I do (stops driving and wears her seat belt, Diego does same)
We are being followed…
Don't be scared, just stay still
(Does U-turn and speeds up. The black car following them speeds up too)
I knew he was following us!
Diego: Should I call 911?
Lucy: text them
Diego: (texts the emergency line. The car overtakes them and stops at their front. Lucy holds the brakes)
Done. (Throws the phone under the seat in the way that their enemy wouldn't know he used a phone)
Lucy: We will be fine, don't be afraid
(Two huge men come out of the car and forcefully opens theirs, they take them out and use handkerchiefs on them which made them pass out)
Man: (makes a phone call) We got them Miss
Miss: Perfect!
Bring them to the location, I'm waiting
—-------------
Kris: I'm tired…. I don't know what to do…
Ela: You should visit them tomorrow
Kris: You know where they live?
Ela: Yes I do
Kris: But what will I say that I haven't said already?
Ela: You should talk to Selene and bring her along with you
Kris: Will Selene accompany me?
Ela: You could always offer money…, it's always her price
She doesn't love you anyways, she's now popular as it was her main aim, so, yeah, she would
Kris: Thank you Ela
Ela: We will always be with you brother, you are always with us too
Kris: (hugs her)
