My beloved

Now reading as Alexis

(After Keith Left the room)...

I know I should be happy that he said those words to me, but something within doesn't feel right, I don't know if it's my imperfections getting the better of me or if the universe trying to convey a message to me, I don't know?.

The following morning...

I got up quite early, wore my tracksuit, my canvas, and strolled out of my room, for my early morning jog at the pack.

I thought it was the best time to clear my thoughts but all plans dashed off when I saw Keith at the pack as well.

He shoots me a cute smile and waited for me, "good morning Alexi's". Alvin maintained his smile on.

I sensed this will be a regular thing for him, now that he says he's in love with me, thus out of cutesy I reciprocated with mine, "good morning, Keith!". And jogged past him.

He ran up to me and said, "what's wrong with you? Why are you asking strange?".

It was as if the incident of last night, has wiped off his head, or better yet, he's just acting clueless with me.

"I am okay Keith! Thanks".

  (We continued running)

Keith fixed his gaze on as we both ran into Chris, the gaze in Keith eyes darkened seeing his brother there, although Chris and I had never seen eyes to the eye, as the day goes by, I keep seeing him in a different light.

"Good morning, Chris.

He whirls seeing me there and his brother as well, "good morning, how are you?". He asked as I answered back without hesitation.

Keith noticed the calm serenity between us and walked past, trying not to get aggrieved by it.

I watched as he jogged away, folding his hands in anger, truly I have no idea why and what changed Keith or more like who!.

" You do you his a grown-ass man?".

I shifted attention back to Chris the second I took note of his statement, "yes I do but Keith has changed, he isn't the one I knew before, I feel the old Alvin I love was switched with another person! I don't know?".

I aired my feelings to him, as he quietly listened to me, noting the smirk he had on his face.

" what! Why the look?".   I pulled a step backward from him.

"Nothing but I think you just unbuttoned your hidden feelings for my brother!". Chris giggled his words out to me.

Abruptly I ran out of words to say to him, I was so disappointed in him, I didn't know when I altered the truth to his brother.

" Look!!!" I attempted to converse with him, somewhat Chris cuts me short distorting back, I quote, "its okay to wanna try and cover up your tracks, you can it for someone who hardly knows you but not me, miss tori, even before you confessed your feelings of love for my brother, I already know how you have been stealing glances of him!".  ( He teases me).

Believing that I hid my secret love for my boss so well, I had no idea that I was being an open book, if Alvin can catch on to the truth, I wonder who else knows about the feelings I have for my boss.

(Chris and I jogged back to the hotel).

Before we got to the hotel, Chris urged me to go after the one I love, ( his brother), he kept giving me lessons and tactics to win over the heart of Alvin fisher and I'll love to see if he truly loves me.

Keith's room.

After getting the courage to speak up to David, I had this urge to go up to Keith room and tell him how I feel.

Like a soldier going for war, I walk over to his room,  knocked on his door, and the moment he opened the door to me, I placed a kiss on his lips.

"What's that for?" He asked shocked at my behavior after acting strange at the park not long ago.

"Nothing! I just what to say that I love you too!"

Keith dragged me back once more and kiss me, he made sure  I felt his lips on mine when Fabian walks into his son's room without knocking.

"What's going on here?"

We turned our eyes to him and noticed the romantic atmosphere, and the sparkle in my eyes, the juncture I opened up my mouth and greeted him"Good morning sir, please excuse me". (I walked out of the room, leaving them behind).

Leonardo waited for a while before he repaid his attention to his son, who kept smiling sheepishly.

"Father! It's done, she fell for it!". Keith informs his father still rubbing a smile on his face.

He tapped his son on his face and said, " good work son, and now that phase two of our plan is complete, let's go over to phase three".

They both discussed in a soft voice, trying not to let a third party listen to their conversation.

(The subsequent day)......

I had just returned from the errand fabian asked me to do, I walked into the hotel,  passed the conference room and my eyes took notice of a press conference holding inside the hall. Out of curiosity I veered in and took notice of the fisher brothers, Keith and Chris standing against each other at the podium, Keith was with Leonardo, his father while Chris, was with Jason, his uncle? I wasn't so confident about that.

Thus the curiosity I had on vanished when Jason, introduced himself as the real owner of the fishery enterprises, which, come to it was previously named Hart's cooperation.

And based on my investigation, a man named Jason hart was the CEO of the company before Fabian came along, something feels fishy.

"Ladies and gentlemen of the press, my name is Jason hart, if you can still recall, I was the previous CEO of the hart cooperation, but unfortunately, my friend over here" ( he points to Leonardo), "tried to get me killed, to take away my company and my life's work from me".

We all gasped out of shock the moment Jason opens up the truth to us, Keith turns to his dad and asked for an explanation, but as usual, he keeps getting brainwashed by his father who denied the accusations laid against him.

" Lies! This is rubbish and we all know it! I am the sole owner of the business, but tell everyone here one thing, if like you said, I tried to kill you! Do you have evidence or how about showing us prove that you were the owner of the company you once claimed it was yours".

We repaid our eyes to Jason as he looms his eyes around, trying to gather his thoughts.

Leonardo saw this as an avenue to prove that every accusation alleged to him are a big lie, his says and I quote, "ladies and gentlemen of the press, I, fabian fisher, hereby declares any accusations leveled against me to be untrue, I never had a hand in trying to kill Mr. Jason hart, year's ago.
