Once upon a time ( Rachel and Leah)

chapter 4

Rachel's pov

I couldn't believe Leah said all that to me, I am selfish? Her of all people saying that? Wow.
I sacrificed my marriage so that she could be happy and she called me a selfish person, I was disappointed.

But she was right, maybe I had been keeping Jacob to myself, she is also his wife.

" Baby!" Jacob shouted, frightening me like always.

" Yes, love?" I answered looking at him quizzing to why he shouted my name.

" Are you ok?" He asked, sitting next to me.

" Yes, I was just a little lost in thought," I answered glancing away from him.

" What were you thinking about?" He worried.

" Did Leah tell you, it was her business or me that is the problem?" I asked glaring at him.

" You talked to her?" He asked glancing away from my dreadful stare.

" I was only greeting her and trying to encourage her on her business when she stormed at me rudely," I explained, frowning after remembering Leah's painful word.

" I didn't want to hate your feelings," he comforted holding my hand.

" No babe, it's not about hating my feelings, she also needs attention which you haven't been given her lately, remember she is also your wife," I convinced, tightening his hold.

" I get you, I will try," he promised, cooking up a smile.

" thank you," I returned his smile.

Leah's pov...

" You just spent a few hours here and you already want to leave?" I exclaimed, following Jacob behind as he was walking away from me.

" The only thing you keep doing is speaking ewe of your sister, which is very unpleasing," he complained, still walking away.

" So it's now always going to be about her right?" I, stopped at the doorstep,  fighting the tears in my eyes.

He stopped walking as well and turned to look at me,

" One thing I have come to understand about you, is that you are self-centered, your sister tries all she can to make you happy, but you have allowed jealous to overshadow you,"

" You have made me this way," I cried as I could no longer hold back my tears," it's always my sister for you,"

" Good night Leah, until you work on your attitude, you will never see me in this house," he said and walked away.

I fell to the ground, weeping bitterly as I watch my husband walk away. Even though I convinced myself that it would soon be over, deep down I knew I had lost my husband.
Jacob would never get tired of Leah, she was the love of his life and I was just a pass-by of tradition.

Leah's pov

" The torture is too painful Eliza, it's like every time I try to ignore, things get worse," I wept helplessly.

" What does Rachel say about Jacob's attitude?" She inquired.

" What can she say? Am sure she feels nice seeing me crying and she later pretends to sympathize with me," I cried.

" You have to teach that ungrateful sister of yours a lesson and I can help you," she offered with an impassive expression.

" How?" I asked not trusting her.

" We can go and see someone who will cause your sister the same pain, that she has made you go through,"

That's exactly what I want, her to feel pain, to cry but,....but... just but,.....she is my sister and hurting her, will only mean hurting my mother, which I now will hurt me as well.

" No Elizabeth, she is still my sister," I declined to turn away From her.

" But she doesn't think of that when hating you, look at your marriage," she challenged, trying to convince me.

" No, I can't do that to her," I stood by my decision.

" Ok madam goddess, when you are tired of crying, you know where to find me," she said standing up and started walking away.

" Wait!"I shouted, but her pace was too quick to run after her.

*****

As I was passing Rachel's house, Jacob and Rachel's voices got my attention, so I stopped to eavesdrop on their conversation.

" Babe, what's all this money for?" Rachel asked.

" For your expenses," Jacob answered.

" But this is just too much,''
" This is the exact amount I gave Leah, so am not going to accept you declining any of it,"

" Ok, if you say so,"
And I heard kisses, so disgusting.

I couldn't stand it anymore, so I walked away.

*****

" My husband, I need to talk to you," I told Jacob, who was leaving Rachel's house to go to work.

" Leah am late for work, we will talk when am back," he declined and started walking away, but I blocked his way.

" I need money," I demanded, standing in front of him.

" But I gave you money two days ago," He reminded me.

" It's for the children's school fees," I spoke immediately.

" Leah, please, it's too early for your drama," he tried to pass, but I pushed him back.

" My children need to go to school," I shouted annoyed.

Rachel came out immediately.

" Leah!" He shouted, but I stood still, not giving him a chance to pass.

" What's going on?" Rachel who had reached where Jacob and I had been standing, asked.

" It's none of your business stay out," I told her, as I was holding Jacob back.

He managed to push me out of his way and walked away.

" Wicked man, you don't even want to give me money for your children!" I shouted as I watched him walk away.

" Leah," Rachel tried to hold me, but I pushed her and walked away.

Is Jacob overdoing it or Leah is just pathetic???? Comment.
