"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 mom to me. "Chris, are you okay?" Mr falani calls me back to me, "yes sir?", I retorted and excused myself from his office. I stepped out and met Keith outside, he says, "bro, are you okay, what happened?". He paused to hear my response, and I rushed hugging him. Although I didn't say anything, following up my attitude, he figured something was wrong. "Did Mr falani say something to you?". ( Keith's aims to know) I tugged him back and without saying a word, past the letter mom left for me. Keith read through, after reading he lifts up his head and said. "I'm sorry for what my mom did bro?". ( Sad faces) I know whatever that happened isn't Keith's fault, I'm certain that Mrs Mathilda will fully pay for her crime's at the prison. ( Unfroze and left to class) After lectures, the driver took us home, I went in and Keith followed. Mom walks out of the kitchen and at the sight of us ambling in, she smiled and yelled to my hearing "Welcome son?" ( She turns to Keith) "and you to master Keith". Keith reciprocates and went further to his room, I stopped and by the sound of his door closing, I said to mom. "I've got a letter from my biological mom". "What letter?" ( Curiosity draps on her face, and I adds up my actions by pulling out the same letter given to me by Mr falani. She reads and while scrolling through, Alexis walks in. "Is everything okay?". Immediately, mom hid the letter from her. She gives me a sign and left abandoning me with Alexis at the living room. "Hmm, something feels fishy?". Her noise twitches like a squirrel, I smiled and dragged her close to me, decerning she was trying to see what mom held in her hand. "Good evening Alexis?".( I greeted) She looked down and up finally meeting my response, "good evening Chris, and can you tell me, what the hell is this?". ( By that she meant, us being this close) I donned a weak smile, when dad made his presence known from the up the stairs. "Isn't this a beautiful scene" Following that up, I pulled Alexis away and at the count of finding a good reason to explain. Another drama unearths and Alexis came on me by plastering a kiss on my lip. And to add up the ongoing scene Maria Jose walked in and caught our lips together. "Shit?" ( Shocked look drops on as she froze at a spot glaring)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
Next morning, after Alexis managed to ruin my evening, I walked down and hissed at the sight of her ambling towards my direction.She falls a frown on and we both walked into the dining room table."Good morning dad?". I greeted and sat next to Kieth.She too did same and sat at opposite direction away from me.The same time, mom came out with Maria Jose, holding a tray. She served us each other plate and the second her feet tried leaving. Dad said."Happy birthday Maria Jose?".In a haste I lifted up my gaze, "is today your birthday?". I asked, rather she ignored me and smiled at dad."Thank you sir?". ( Her words as she turns again leaving)It seems yesterday incident hasn't erase from her mind, Alexis cleared her throat, reeling me back to her."Witch". ( I mouthed to myself)Thereafter, seeing that it was her birthday, I rushed up and out holding a gift in my hand.Unfortunately, Alexis bumped into me, I turned to the exit but halts noting she stopped me."Can we talk?"..I turne
Dad smiles and said, "son! I'll like for you to get married to Alexis".( Stunned)"What?" I got up in a State is disbelief.Dad grown a frown and dragged me close, "seat?", He commands, although I didn't want to, I had no other option.I sat back down and listened how they all talked about my supposed alliance with Alexis.Come to think of it, how's she doing all this, I just don't understand the reason behind her odd behavior.( Alexis parent's left with dad)I turned around and in a fit of rage dragged her back, "you've got five seconds to start explaining".She drops her eyes down and had it fixed on me."Let go and I'll tell you". She tells on and I released my grip on her, trying so hard not to do something I might regret.( Alexis began speaking) " Chris, like I said before, I've liked you and no matter how much you're in love with Maria Jose, your dad won't let you marry her!! Because it's been stated with both my dad and yours that our children will be getting married toget
Oh shit, did she hear me?."Maria Jose!", At the sound of my fingers snapping her back to reality, she takes a step backwards and saud." Please tell me you're joking, are you in love with me?".( Paused to hear my response)Thus, there was no need trying to cover up the known truth, I weaved a weak smile and at a count of my head nodding, a slapped was sounded on my face..I held the affected area, unable to understand why she did such, Maria Jose takes a fast pace and left me with an itching face.Apparently if that wasn't enough drama, Alexis walked into the scene."Hahahaha!!", She laughed and the more I took heed of her laughing, the more irritated I get. ( Frown)"Please excuse me".Ignoring Alexis was the best idea but as usual, she pulled out her hand and dragged me back to her."Awww, why are you running Chris?".Although she stopped laughing, there was an atom of mockery in her voice to me, I buffed a weak smile and gradually got her hand disconnected from mine.Once more I t
Trying to comprehend what he said, a hand placed on my shoulders heaves me back, to see a man wearing in a lap coat staring at me."Who're you?", The man asked.I nudged his hands away and while pausing to hear my response, I took heed of a footsteps approaching the door.I knew Keith was the person and before he finds me here I'll have to leave.My eyes wandered around and at a fast pace, I nudged the man away and rushed out of the mental in a fit of trying not to get caught.I got into the cab and the driver drove as fast as his car tyres can take him back home.( WOODS MANSION)It hasn't been a long time since I returned home, Keith returned as well.He sees me seated at the living room and came to me."Bro, are you okay?".Keith's voice felt like a huge load of irritation hovering around me, I hoisted up my head and at that start my mouth opens up to speak, dad walks in.He says, "Keith, Chris, come with me".( Walked into the study room)Keith lead the way and I followed suit and
Now reading as Maria Jose"Shit"While trying to stop the car from leaving, I bumped into a vase at the living room and it broke into pieces.And while hurrying to get it cleaned up, miss Alexis walks into the scene."Going somewhere?".Her irritating voice froze me to a point, pardon my language but Alexis as been on pain in my butt for the past one month.She finds ways to get me shouted at by master Leonardo or Mrs Allison ( Chris's mom)"Good morning miss Alexis and yes, I'm going to get a broom and dustpan to get this clean up".( She falls her eyes down and found the broken piece of vase on the ground, returning it back to me)"Okay then, be quick and after you're done come to my bedroom, I'll like to have a talk with you". ( Alexis said and left to await my return)Thereafter, I knew going to her room would be like signing my own death warrant.I walked in and like a solder aiming to kill, I entered into the lions den.She takes a turn and said."Hello, I'm glad we could talk
Now reading as Chris Wood's POV( Two weeks after)Keith and I returned home, everywhere was quiet as if no one was at home. I shared a fast look with him ( Keith) and at both counts we took a step further, "hello Chris?".My feet took a quick step, I turned around and drops a frozen look at the sight of Maria Jose dressed in an odd manner."Are you going out?".My hand left my bags and went straight to her."No?" She disapproves my words, turns me around and I met dad ambling in."Good evening dad?", Keith said."Helloo son?", Dad answered and falls his face on me."Good evening dad?", I copied Kieths greetings and withdrew my gaze down.While avoiding his gaze, dad smiles as Maria Jose, "have you told him the good news?".That imm gets my head running up, retorting back with a question. "What news?".Dad shifts my attention to Maria Jose and she lets out holding a huge smile. She says, "Chris, it's been two week you traveled and while you were away, dad came to a conclusion that you
Alexis visit got me a little suspicious, is everything okay?, I asked and the next morning, I strolled down and saw Maria Jose ambling out from her room, holding a bed sheet.I hid behind the stairs to surprise her, rather she gave me a surprise, by rolling down the stairs in an unconscious state."Maria Jose?".I ran to her aid, dad and everyone at home all rushed out, they dropped a pause seeing what just arose.Immediately Keith ran to call the doctor and I took Maria up to her room, a while later, the doctor came and administered some drugs to her.Thankfully nothing's broken, but the pending question is what the hell happened?, Who would benefit if something happened to her?. ( Thinking out loud)"Alexis?" ( Frowns)I'm going to kill her before she gets her hands on Maria Jose.I excused myself and went straight to her room, luckily she wasn't found in but it seems she was headed my way and we both bumped into each other."C... Chris?".She starmmered trying to grabs the look
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
