The Consequence

"Lila, where have you been?, your dad and i have been so worried about you ". Lucia Shells said with a mischievous smile on her face as Lila walked in. She was her stepmother.

"Lila dear, where were you?, I've tried calling you so many times but your phone was switched off " Orlando Shells said with a sigh of relief. He was her father.

"Dad, I went to visit an old friend of mine we talked for long so I had to spend the night there". Lila said with a quaky voice.

"Liar! You went to see your lover right? isn't that a hickey?".Lucy Shells said pointing at her neck with disgust. She was her stepsister.

"Enough, Lucy I will not tolerate any false accusations from you upon Lila". Orlando barked.

"What do you mean Orlando?, Why do you have hatred for Lucy?, Isn't the truth glaring? How is the accusation false?,I demand answers to my questions now!". Lucia intervened,now shaking with rage.

Orlando walked out on them and made for his bedroom with suppressed rage leaving Lila alone with her step-relatives.

"Whatever happens, whoever gets pregnant outside marriage ceases to be a member of this family". Lucia said with a grin.

Lila left them and went to her room. She wept and wept until she slept off.

"Finally our plan worked". Lucy said with a satisfied smile.

"Finally, a Cinderella with an unhappy ending".

"Mom, she is less than a Cinderella".

"Of course, my dear, when she's confirmed pregnant, she will be a disgrace to this family and Orlando will have to throw her out".

"How sure are you, I mean Dad loves her so much".

"Well let's see how it goes".

"Call Aunt Lucie, let's tell her".

"I don't think that is a good idea".

"Why".

"She's siding Lila, she doesn't behave like a twin sister".

"Well let it be, I will be going out for a date with Eugene Oregon".

"Ok, go prepare for it, look dazzling as always my dear".

"THANKS MUM". She purred and left the sitting room.
