Leah's pov...
" Hi, sister Leah?" There Rachel came again.
Couldn't she for goodness sake leave me alone?
Am was trying so hard to stay away from her, but she was like a little mosquito that keeps making noise in my ears.
"Hi Rachel, may I help you?" I asked, my face fixed in a grim.
" I came to see you, am so bored at home alone," she complained sitting on my chair.
" Am going out," I turned away, after hearing her useless request.
" But you don't look like someone who is about to go anywhere," she noticed, getting the remote from the table.
" Rachel please, I said I am going out, is that hard to understand," I yelled standing up.
" Am sorry," she apologized looking at me with a frown,
"I just wanted us to chat, maybe catch up on a few things,"
I turned to look at her, annoyed,
" We're no longer little children to seat and chat, I have children to look after and we have a husband to serve, or have you forgotten," I challenged and walked away.

Rachel's pov...
I didn't know why my sister had been that cold towards me. I had tried all I could to be nice to her but she kept shutting me out.
Despite never being that close in the past, especially during our childhood, I was hoping all that would change then, when we were co-wives.
" Sweetheart?" Jacob called, frightening me.
" Hi sweetheart, I didn't hear you come in," I called up a smile.
" Yes because you were thinking about whatever is bothering you," he teased, sitting on the chair next to me, "are you ok?"
" No," I answered, leaning against his shoulder," I think something is bothering Leah,"
" What makes you say that?"
" She looks depressed, confused, I don't exactly know, how to describe it," I explained thinking about her melancholy look.
" Have you perhaps asked her about it?" He asked as I had now raised my head from his shoulder, to look at his face.
" She always tells me she is busy or finds a reason to walk away," I answered, bowing my head.
" I will talk to her, don't worry," he assured me and I nodded.
" Now how about we have some fun," he giggled, pulling me to his side.
" Babe behave," I laughed, as he tickled me.

Leah pov...
" Nothing has been ok Elizabeth, just as I imagined," I told my closest friend, as I was at her house to run away from Rachel.
" Your sister is just selfish, she even went ahead and got married to your husband, very selfish," her belligerent nature always encouraged my evil self.
" Jacob barely gives my children and me time to spend with him, am beginning to feel as if am not his wife," I lowered my brows.
" If you are not careful, you are going to lose your marriage," she warned, narrowing her eyes.
" That's my fear," I whispered sadly.

I was in the kitchen preparing dinner when Jacob walked in.
" My husband, you are welcome," I told him quizzically to see him.
" How are you, Leah?" He greeted, still standing by the door.
" Am fine and happy to see you," I told him with a smile hanging on my face.
Jacob was very different when it came to his relationship with me, he was formal when talking, and never had I heard him use any sweet word when calling me as he did with my sister.
" I want to talk to you," he informed, it sounded like a command, rather than a request.
" You may sit, I am preparing dinner for the children and if I delay, they will sleep on an empty stomach," I answered pulling a chair for him and he sat.
" What is it that you would want to talk to me about?" I inquired curiously waiting for him to say a word.
" Your sister told me, you have been giving her attitude. Even when she tries to have a conversation with you, you always find a reason to move away," he reported, making me roll my eyes.
" She told you that?" I glared at him.
" Leah, what is bothering you?" He ignored me.
" For the two weeks Rachel has been in this house, have you been the same towards me and my children?" I questioned raising my voice.
" What do you mean?" He stupidly came out.
" You can't know, because to you everything seems normal..... but one thing you have to know, is that you are not been fair, we are both your wives and I also need your attention," I complained fighting back tears in my eyes.
" You would have just told me, unlike you making your sister uncomfortable," he complained
" That's the only thing you care about, Rachel, you shouldn't have even married her!" I stormed.
" Leah!!" He shouted," Mind your words, remember, Rachel is the reason why I married you in the first place,"
" No my husband, God planned for you and me to get married, even if she wasn't involved, we would have still got married!"
" You are just so hard to believe," he cried getting up to leave.
" We are not done!" I shouted as he was walking away.
" I am,"..... And he left.
I hate Rachel...
That's it for now.... hope you enjoyed it.
