So it was, a few days after Xation and Charles flew back to Texas and Lexa went home to California, Carlo and Aphina caught a flight in from Spain and Leah was so happy to see her in-laws and have a little help with her growing baby. Bengiman went mostly ignored and he was mindnumbigly bored, though Leah could care less about that, it was nice for her to share in the company of a wonderful loving couple whom had been together for thirty eight years, and Leah hoped she and Xation would have a long and happy marriage like their parents, but the loneliness and restlessness she felt in her husband absence was overwhelming and she herself did not know if she could even make it through the next four weeks before she was to move up with Jason, and be with Xation, at their new mansion in Dallas. Though having Carlo and Aphina there with her, helped to put Leah's mind at ease. Now the next two weeks passed by uneventful, Aphina, ever the loving grandmother, took delight in caring for her grandson while Leah took the much needed free time to go for long swims and lounge by the pool drinking Mojitos, or going for long horseback rides, alone, at sunset through the vast pampas fields and groves of trees, or playing a few rounds of golf on their little three hole course by the river, Leah even got to sleep in as late in the morning as she wished, and she would be eternally, humbly grateful for the gift of leisure time Aphina provided for the weary, tired, new mother.
With much rest and relaxation Leah felt the anger and bitterness she felt began to slowly melt away, like wax over a flame, so that by the time her sister, Lexa returned to the Estate, 14 days later, she found her sister Leah to be in a pleasant, agreeable state of mind. Now with the boisterous and vivacious Lexa in the house a lively energy filled the huge home, and finally Carlo had someone, other than the Bengiman, he could share a nice bottle of whiskey and few fine cigars with. This was a few days just before Serena and Felina were to arrive, by way of Dallas, for Felina had flown in from Madrid to Texas to meet with her brother before she was to return to the Estate in Argentina. Now before the pair of Latin beauties arrived, one night at dinner, Aphina suggested Leah and Lexa drive down to the city together and enjoy a lovely day of shopping, spa treatments, etc... and she volunteered to look after little Jason so they could get away.
"Oh I don't think Xation would like that." Leah commented.
Aphina only laughed saying "My dear, you are a married woman, how much trouble could you possibly get into in one afternoon?"
"Oh, I don't get into trouble." Leah answered.
To which Lexa replied with a wide smile "I.., one the other hand!" she laughed and the two sisters were delighted to be going out together, alone, in such a very long time, they both went over giving Aphina a kiss on the cheek, however, little did they twins know just how much trouble, death and destruction tomorrow's little outing would bring.
