"Are you asking me that shitty question?". She asked
"Yes ma'am" I answered awaiting for her to proceed further.
Although I knew what she wanted to say, it was best she said it with her mouth.
Like I presumed Mom frowned her words out.
"Aren't you at least scared!! Do you know what you're getting yourself into, if you accept Master Leonard's inheritance?".
( Mom's words to me)
"Seriously? It seems you have forgotten, that I'm also a woods blood and Master Leonardo is Also my father"
( My words to her).
Decerning the obvious, Mom had a long face and left my room. She's only being paranoid, I said to myself and got ready for bed.
I tucked myself in and the second my eyes fell asleep, a scream for help got me running down the stairs.
I ran like a lunatic and found Mom at the mercy of Mrs. Janes, her eyes over to me and said. "Welcome Keith, I'm glad you can join us".
The stone that Mom kept got me scared. I tipped my way to her. "Mrs Jane, do not do anything stupid?"
I said.
Mrs Jane smiles at me and at the sight of my mom being at her mercy. The gun was fired.
Immediately before my very own eyes, Mom falls to the ground, coughing out blood.
I screamed and it instantly hurled me back to the real world.
"Urgh!! What a terrible nightmare?".
( Tension keeps building)
The next morning, Mom woke up from bed. "Good morning Mom?". The sleep in my eyes where much. I turned trying to get more shut eyes, but at the sound of something heavy Falling on the floor.
I got up, double-checking if Mom was fine.
"Oh my gosh!! Mom are you okay?".
( Off behavior)
She nodded swifty sipping into her questioning mood. "Keith, are you feeling okay? You seem strange?". ( Mom Implored to know More)
Although telling her about my nightmare wasn't going to be an option. I decided to tell a white lie.
"Yes Mom!! I'm fine?". ( I assured her I was fine)
Mom looked at me for a while before leaving the room. A weak moan weaves out and I fall on my back, trying to control myself.
"Something is WRONG?".
It seems I spoke too soon. Mom screamed out my name and I jumped out of my room and down. Turning a stunned look at Master Leonardo lying cold once again on the ground.
"Dad? What happened?".
( Ran to his aid, while mom went on to call the doctor)
A while later, the doctor came home. He ran some checks on Dad, and thereafter spoke up again.
"Are you the eldest son?".
( The doctor asked)
"Yes sir?" I affirmed, and he went on speaking again.
"Sir!! I'm sorry to say this but your dad was poisoned. And it seemed the poison had eaten him so deep, we will have to run more tests to see if we can be able to flush out the left poison in his system".
The doctor's words almost drove me to the wall.
Mrs Jane drops her hand on her head, while her son, stood at the side, looking confused.
Something isn't just right, who would poison Dad? And why?.
( Asked myself while glaring at Mrs Jane, To me, she looked suspicious)
Threading the issue on the ground. It hadn't been an hour since the doctor left, and another drama came up.
I took heed of Mom's voice downstairs, Instantly I ran into the scene and met Mrs Jane holding a knife to Mom's neck.
( Tensed faces as the chapter ends)
Mrs Jane was at the same spot and so was mom, being held against her will.Mom shoots me a wary glare, I got a little closer trying to disarm Mrs Jane."Ma'am, can you please put down that knife?".( My words to her)She disregarded my plea and tugged mom a lot closer..Luckily Alexis walked in. She sights and signaled I don't try to get her presence attained by Mrs Jane.She sneaked. And while driving to get a hold Of the knife, I distracted Mrs Jane with the first thing that popped up in my head."Why are you doing this ma'am?".My words immediately gave raise to hers, she says and I quote, "what do you mean, can't you see that, ever since you and your mom came into our lives, everything hasn't been okay with my family".Mrs Jane blamed my mom and I for the issues at home, thus no matter how much I'll love to tell her the truth of who I really am. Its best to play the innocent card with her.Meanwhile, Alexis mined her way closer to her. Mrs Jane kept a tight grip at mom and the s
Okay, at that time, I know that lying would only make it serious or rather make me look stupid.And as much as I'll love to lie my way through, it seemed like Alexis wasn't going to be fooled by it. Hence that brings me to the question on the yourself.nd. How the fuck did she hear the truth?. Pardon my language.( That's my head talking and now my lips weave out the same thing)."Tell me, Alexis, how did you find out the truth?".( Waited to hear her speak out)Alexis took her time before letting out the pending truth, she says and I quote. "I knew the moment I met you that you had the woods blood running through your veins, but I wasn't sure, so the next day while you left for breakfast, I sneaked into your room and got a sample of your hair and had it sent to the laboratory"( Continues talking while I listened)"Chris to my greatest surprise, you were exactly who I thought you would be!! Master Leonardo's son, his biological son".( Stop talking).A weak smiled my way and sat on
BLOODLINE)( STOLEN AT BIRTH)( Still on the story)I had thought seeing Maria Jose in my room would at least be of a good visit, neither did I know that she came to tell on that dad was in a lot of pain.( Ran into his room)"Dad?"At the doorpost, I saw him trying to get up from his bed, he turns and at the sight of me, he lifted his hand and gestured with it ( Come) his hand gestured to me.Immediately I ran to his aid. He pulled me up to meet his teary gaze. "Save me son?". ( Dad pronounced to me)"Save you from what?".I asked, in a state of shock.When another walks into the room.I veered seeing Mrs Jane behind. A man wearing a lab coat welcomed himself in and at the sound of their footsteps ambling towards our direction.Dad crunched onto my shirt.His behavior proved that nothing was right, and as much as I didn't want to create a scene, decerning Mrs Jane here and with a strange man in a doctor's coat, I instantly knew that something was wrong.So I Implored, closing in bet
THE NEXT MORNING)Before the cock crowed, I woke up quite early and not only that, engaged the workers of the mansion into a thorough cleaning of the entire Mansion."What's going on here?" Mom met the scene going on. I turned and saw the rest of the family coming down.Mrs Jane copies the same question mom did. "What going on?".Keith walked in looming over curiously.While they all waited to hear me speak, my eyes wandered off and I met dad, trying to come downstairs."Dad!".It seems to have gotten their attention, I ran to his aid and he smiles, heaving his hand on my shoulders."Good morning son?". ( He says while we made me through the stairs)I sat him down on the couch, Keith came in and greeted him, with his face all sad and gloomy."Good morning dad?".I've never seen such a behavior, or better yet an obedient Keith before, dad smiles and placed a loving hand on his face.."How are you son?".( Dad kept the same look on his face)Meanwhile, a call came through my phone, I
It was set time to unveil my surprise, everyone walked closer and dad was stationed at the front, facing me."Hello everyone, and welcome to master Leonardo's charity ball event".( they clapped heeding to me)Dad was anxious to see what my surprise was all about, that's when the atmosphere changed." good evening master Leonard".We all turned around and saw the not so surprising entrance of dads former employee."Robinson, what are you doing here?".( dad inquired of, he makes a side look at me and dad turns to see he was staring at me)" son? Did you send for him?".( he puts in to his assertion)I gave a quick nod, only to glimpse on Mrs Jane running out from the crowd."You?, what are you doing here?".Her face was turned red; in return Robinson said with so much pride in his tone." aww!!! Good evening ma'am, are you surprised to see me, after you've managed to kill your mate and almost had her son to killed?".Immediately dad joins into the conversation, "Robinson can you kindl
The next day, I strolled down and at the noise of my feet ambling downstairs, something heavily fell from Keith's room.I turned and ran in, Keith? he gears up his head laying down on the ground."Help?" ( motioned with his hand)I went in and sat him on the bed, "what happened?". I asked and he goes, " nothing bro, I misstepped and fell with my face underneath".The tone he had told that to me, got me smiling, I laughed at him and went distance pulling up his bedsheets on the ground as well.Thereafter, we left to the living room, dad was already up and at the sight of us both walking side by side together, a proud smile settled on his countenance."I'm happy to see that my sons are now best of friends".( he gets up from the couch)" good morning dad?".( we both greeted rubbing a smile on)Dad races his hand on both our faces and turns to the dining room after mom informs us that dinner had been served.Come to think of it, haven't gotten a chance to speak with mom after yesterday
"What about her?".I asked."She wanted me to give you this, we were friends and before she departed, Elena gave me a letter to give to her son, just in case she doesn't make it".Mr falani's words to me felt like mom knew she was going to die, or perhaps did she know that Mrs mathilda wanted to kill her?.He adds up his actions and brought out a sealed letter from his cupboard, I took charge of it and it reads, " hello my son, If you're reading this letter, it means that I'm no longer here with you!!! It pains me not to be able to your face but not to worry, I'll always be looking out for you from heave, I love you son and will always be there whenever I'm needed, with love, Elena woods"..My heart broke into a million pieces, I know I never knew who my mom was all because of Mrs Mathilda, she not only took my happiness but stopped me from having a taste of motherhood, maybe that's why God himself brought mom Allison into my life, although she isn't my biological mom, she's been a mo
Before I could retaliate, Maria Jose went back to the same place she walked out from.Dad smiles and Alexis decides to let go .Dad says, "you didn't tell me, you both like each other?"."What are you saying?".I chocked up on my words.Alexis takes up a chance and to another suprise, affirmed dad's statement."Yes sir, you're right?".Her eyes scanned through mine, deep down I was like, what the fuck is she doing?. Dad dragged me back to meet his glare. "Take a walk with me son" he says and left.I frowned at Alexis and went after him, I'll have to stop any misunderstanding dad might get after seeing Alexis odd behavior, like what the hell was she thinking and why?.( We walked into his study room)"Son?".He turns around knitting my gaze.."Yes dad?".Dad gets all cozy with me, he filled up the distance between us and said."You didn't tell me about Alexis and yourself?"."Huh?", He takes up another question. "Do you like Alexis?".( Waits to hear my comeback)"No?".Without think
I met my parents talking to the priest after Avanti practically urged them to know my hand concerning the wedding.Yes. I do want to get married to Abhishek, however, I'm on the edge, what if my parents get to find out the truth.The truth is that I'm already married to him.How will my mom feel?She might freak out, or better yet choose to kill me before I even get a chance to run away........."Javelin dear, come seat with me,".Said Mrs. Anuradha.She had this glorious smile on her face. I still feel like whatever chances I have for Mrs. Anuradha not to throw me under the bus... After all, this is done and she has gotten rid of Muni.Karen's sister. Right now that is what she eagerly awaits.I came ahead and gently sat down beside her.Mrs. Anuradha wrapped her hand around my shoulders and gently squeezed on them.....I faced her and whispered."What is happening?,"... I said.....She takes her lips closer to mine and replied."You shouldn't say anything, just watch and enjoy,'...
The party seems to be going on well, I went to the bar to order a drank, when suddenly I heard Muni, Karan's sister talking on the microphoneI grabbed unto my glass and hastily turns to find her getting the stage ready for a dance performance.Avanti spotted me from afar and hurriedly came.She says, " javelin, I think Muni is planning something,". I looked at her on the stage dancing, before facing Avanti again."Yes, I only feel the same way, but we will have to find a way to know what she's planning,"... I said to her scared Avanti, galloping her hands together.She understood and left.I came to meet my parents seated on their chair, my mom was so taken way by Muni's performance.She wasn't the only one. Dad too and my younger brother, was busy filming the entire thing...I joined the others who watched Muni's performance, while dancing I noticed her looking at a party direction, I faced too, hoping I can find something out of the ordinary, however nothing seems to be grab my
Mom grabbed me back to her gaze, "dear, can you tell me, what's happening with them?". She asked.I faced Mrs. Anuradha and Avanti gazing angrily as Karan's sister walks upstairs to her room.I can't possibly tell her the truth can I? Like what do I say, is it the fact that whatever drama that happened is a result of what transpired a few years ago or the fact that I'm already married to AbhishekWhat do I tell her?Mrs. Anuradha comes and meets us to talk.She says, " Ma'am, I want to say sorry for what happened, "She begged.....Mom loses her eyes away from me before facing her."It's okay, but I'm not understanding anything, what is going on?". She asked Mrs. Anuradha while she looks at me...She laughed."No need ma'am, but we are still waiting for your response,". She smiles at me, " can my son get married to your daughter?". She asked facing mom again.I saw mom look at dad. Dad smiles and said, " dear! Do you want to get married to Abhishek?"... He walks close and came to
The next morning. I walked over to Mrs. Anuradha's bedroom.Since I couldn't speak with her last night, I chose to have the same conversation today.After all, I do what to Know why she wishes to have a party for my family all of a sudden.We met at the door of her bedroom.She stared behind my back before facing me."Javelin, why are you here!",.She said, grabbing me inside her bedroom..."Tell me, something ma'am, what exactly do you achieve in having a party for my family?,"... I asked her."Don't you know!", Mrs. Anuradha looks away for a While before facing me......The look on her face made me know the reason why she was doing this.Karan's sister. But the question is why?......"Okay, I do know why, but tell me, what do you plan to gain from this party?,"... I held onto her hand as she tries to leave again.She takes it away confronting me.She says, "do not worry dear, everything will work according to my plan,". She smiles."What plan, at least tell me,". I said.She disapp
"Call the doctor Avanti,". Abhishek yelled as she grabbed Karan's sister in his arm.Avanti ran off to call the doctor.Whereas I followed, going with them to the living room.Abhishek placed a pillow under her head.When the doctor walked inside with Avanti."Doctor please can you check on her?". Abhishek said as soon as the doctor walks inside.He pulls away.We all waited behind.The doctor checked Karan's sister before facing us."Everything seems fine sir, don't worry, your wife is fine,". He says without hesitation...Everyone stared in shock"Wife?,"... Mom says, she turns to me, "dear, is Abhishek Married!" She asked.I hesitated...... In the process, my eyes locked with Avanti.She nods and faced my mom."Ma'am, no he isn't married, and that lady lying there isn't his wife,". She pointed at Karan's sister."Yes, I am with my daughter, she isn't his wife,". Mrs. Anuradha joined, she looks at me, there was this scorn in her eyes before leaving...Abhishek walks away with the do
That same day at night. I passed dad's bedroom going into mine. I didn't want to sleep in the same bedroom with it Abhishek.I was just on my to my bedroom, I had grabbed unto mine and pushed myself inside a room.I gasped and turned around to see Abhishek standing at the door.He locks it. "Javelin, been waiting for you,". He says as he slowly approached me.I went back. I held my hand back and without knowing it, I fell unto the top of the bed, and he falls right on me.We locked eyes. "You look beautiful,". He says to me.I smiled, it seems Abhishek is asking strange tonight."Tell me, sir, you feeling alright?". I asked.Abhishek laughed.He takes up his hand and caressed my face, he tilted his head down a little as if he was just about to kiss me when we heard a huge commotion downstairs.We both stared at the door.Abhishek pulls away, he turns to me."What's going on?", He asks."I don't know, but we should go and check,". I say, facing him...Abhishek grabbed my hand, and we
I went to the visitor's bedroom.In the room, I had some time to talk with them when a knock came on the door.I turned back to open it.And at the door, I met Abhishek standing with his hands and face smiling.I panicked."What are you doing here?"I walked outside the room.He takes his hands away before responding."What do you mean, I want to say hello to your family, even though you now act as a single lady,".Abhishek said.He rolls his eyes afterward.I saw that and begged him to go away.Abhishek refused, he was so adamant about meeting my parents.While arguing I didn't know that mom had stepped out of the door."Is everything okay?". She asked.Making Abhishek and I turned back to meet her gaze.I smiled.However the second I thought of saying anything, Abhishek pulled me aside and introduced himself."Hi ma'am, I'm Abhishek, Avanti's elder brother,". He says, stealing glances at me.Mom smiled and gently rubbed his back."Nice meeting me, you're quite handsome, don't you th
Karan's sister didn't say anything to me as I left.I walked into the room. Abhishek was still angry by what happened, he had every right to vent his angry on her, rather chose to vent in on an innocent pillow.I met him angrily hitting the pillows with both his hands..I went ahead and grabbed it from him."You shouldn't be hurting an innocent pillow,". I said.He rubs his hand together and turned, to face me , "javelin, I ain't going to argue with you, just give me my pillow,". He take his hand out to grab it from me..I pulled away and he grabbed it air instead. "How are you so stubborn, have you seen the look on your faze?,"? I said to him.Abhishek squeezed them and said, "what's wrong with my face!" I laughed..It's really funny to see how angry Abhishek can be. He turns like an angry bird, whenever he is furious."Come with me,". I dragged him facing a huge mirror, "cab you see your face? You look like an angry bird, do you know that?". I said and laughedHe faces his
