The following morning
"Good morning master Chris?"
A feminine voice gets me up, I turned and saw Maria Jose standing a few steps close to me.
"Good morning Maria!! How are you?".
I Implored yet her response gave raised to another,"please get ready and meet the rest of the family?".
( She left not giving me a chance to speak)
Thereafter getting ready, I walked outside and stumbled on master Leonardo seated at the dining room table, he wasn't the only one, his wife and Keith was also there.
Apparently, it seems mom isn't going to be the one to serve, rather Maria Jose took up the responsibility.
She passed and left a plate full of spaghetti.
A weak smile falls on seeing her, somehow the look on my face got Keith's attention, and as usual he drove to create drama.
When the glass cup place next to him, drops and scattered on the floor.
Immediately, that gained our notoriety, master Leonardo frowned at him and he adds up by calling someone to clean up, rather Keith paused the idea and insisted on Maria Jose being the one to clean it up, no one had to tell me his only searching for trouble.
Maria Jose, takes a broom and dustpan, she pulled down and while sweeping the broken piece of glass on the ground, she screamed out holding her hand.
"Maria Jose, are you okay?"
( I asked)
She smiles and left refusing to speak, Keith kept a watch and smiled evily, the glare he had on almost made me want to push his head off, if not for master Leonardo, who held his hand on my gaining my eyes to him.
The disapproving look he had, got me to back down, but on way or the other, Keith will have to clean up the same mess he made Maria Jose clean up.
Thereafter, I left to college, Keith and I met at the same lecture hall, he takes a side glance as I scanned through for empty seats at round.
Luckily I found one behind him ( Keith) ambling towards the same direction, Keith turns his head away, I smiled seeing his behavior took a step closer just to find the seat as been messed up by glue.
No need asking, Keith's name was written all over, he knew I would've sat down if the seat was empty.
To sum up everything, Keith will also pay for his as well.
"Master Chris?"
( I turned and surprisely found Maria Jose behind)
"Hey!! What are you doing here?". I asked rather Keith joins in to the conversation, "she schools here as well!! Under my dad's scholarship program just like you".. he explained.
"Is that true?" In return I confirmed from her and she gestured shaking her head.
The same time, the lecture hall locked and we both walked away looking for any available seat, while the professor waited for us to settle down.
( Inaudible conversation)
It was passed two hours and we left to the cafeteria after knowing that the next lecture wasn't going to held.
Maria Jose left in a haste, I look s fast rushed and left after her.
"Hey!! Where are you off to?".
( I asked)
"I'm going home?" She says.
"Why!! Lectures aren't over yet?", I explained but to my surprise, the reason why she had to leave was all because of Keith, according to her words he needed her to get his geography textbook in his room for him.
Thus for someone who doesn't look like a book worm, why the hell does he need this text book from.
( Next chapter)
While trying to stop her from leaving, a hand walks in and whiskered her away."Keith?".I rushed behind and caught up with him, Keith let's go of Maria Jose and said. "What's up bro!! Why the unnecessary drama?, Don't tell me you're acting up because of this maid?".Keith has always been someone that has a sharp tongue, and no matter what I've got to teach him a lesson.So I said, "tell me something? Why do you need your geography textbook, we don't have lectures on that today?".He kept quiet not being able to speak!!..I spoke out again, "Keith!! What happened? Cat cut your tongue?".Instantly he flares up and almost attacked me, if not for the presence of the university's administrator, he dragged him back and in an angry tone, held Keith by his ears heading straight to his office, "damn!". ( I exclaimed).Maria Jose kept a quiet look seeing the drama, the look on her face pro
A while later, master Leonardo walked me into his study room, he gets the atmosphere settled before speaking."Do you believe my son?". ( He asked)"No sir, I don't". ( Without hesitation I answered)My non hesitancy to his question got him smiling, he adds up speaking again, "I do feel the same way, but if truly my son has changed, let's find out?".Master Leonardo coursed out speaking unrestricted, " tomorrow is my birthday and every year my son always gets intoxicated out of excitement, and ends up doing something improper, so if his really speaking the truth, will truly know tomorrow ".(He asked me to leave thereon)I sauntered upstairs to my room, and on my way crashed into Maria Jose, she fastened her feet at the sight of me, it almost feels like she was trying to dismiss my existence."Maria Jose?"Her feet froze at my say, she veers and with her gaze fixed down, w
"mom, I can explain?".( I sorted out and Maria Jose gets her talons galloping into the kitchen).Luckily, their attention was converted to the front door, when a man ambled in."Hello, Master Leonardo?".( he says soaring with a caustic look on his face, from a far distance, I watched them chatter, thereafter my presence gets called in by master Leonard)He says, " Son, I need you to go with Mr. Omar here and inspect the ongoing construction going on at the company's new sight".I took a quick nod and left with him ( Mr. Omar) after getting a chance to get clothed.We drove to the construction site, mr Omar and I walked in and he gave me a rundown of what was going on.While ambling further, a man walked rode in and accidentally crashed into me."Master Chris, are you okay?".Mr. Omar raised a question, my eyes went off and I discovered that the man le
The look on my face substantiated that I was trying to comprehend everything being said to me. Hence I took my head up to speak, rather he let out before I could."You're the supposed dead son to master Leonardo".( thunderstorm goes off)I recalled his words again, and he tells on his exact words to me, immediately I jerked up from the chair in a furious manner." what're you doing please sit and know the left truth". ( Adamson asked for my inclusive attention)So, I sat back down and he proceeds discussing again."Master Chris, I know you must've been shocked after hearing the truth and I don't blame you, but please, it's isn't a joke, you're a woods blood, and I got to know about your existence at master Leonardo's press conference, his oblivious to the fact that the boy he adopted is his son, his very own blood"." how!!! Please tell me how you found out?".( I g
I got out of master Leonardo's room smiling, mom gets up and we bumped into each other.Instantly, I pulled apart while ambling away, she held from going any further."You cant keep ignoring me, son?".Her utterances got me veering around, " excuse me mom, are you kidding me?"( I said still pissed at her)"I'm sorry son?".( she saddled a sad look on her face)I know that mom did everything to save me, and now it's best to make up for old time sake, I'll have to tell master Leonardo that I'm his biological son, his blood." please excuse me mom?"( left her staring at me)I walked downstairs and it seems like I will be bumping into everyone today, the same way I bumped into mom, Mrs. Jane was the next person"Hey look where you're going to?" ( frowned at me)"I'm sorry ma'am" ( I put in a word of apologies to her, an
I pleaded with master Leonardo to at least return home fast, because at the fast pace he was going, anything might happen.Luckily, he listened and we left back home, the driver stopped at the drive way and we all got down ambling in.Mrs. Jane runs to her son, with her eyes all teary up, Keith maintained a calm behaviour, while his mom takes him up to his room."Hold on Keith"..They both stopped at his demand, Keith swiveled around with his mom, pausing to listen to what he had to say.( master Leonardo)He saw we were all waiting to hear him speak and he cuts off the anxiety, airing his words out.He says and I quote, "from now henceforth, Keith isn't my son anymore, and starting from today, my properties is and shall we given to my adopted son, Chris Wood's, who has proven to be of good"( in distant conversation goes on)"My love, yo
Apparently mom was right, I fled to my room and that gave her a sense of peace.And no matter how much I try to hide the fact, it pains me not to be able to tell the truth to my father.That the son he thought he adopted Is non other but his biological son.The next morning, before any one woke up, I had already entered the kitchen and prepared a lovely dish for my father (master Leonardo)It was past eight and everyone all went down to the living room, Mrs. Jane takes a fast sight at my dish."What is that?". She implored, aiming to infuriate me." it's called food ma'am" I retorted patiently waiting for my father.A few idling moment, master Leonardo walks down to the dining room table.And the first thing he saw was the food placed on the table."Wow, this looks nice?". ( he complements and sat to get served)Immediately, I left Mrs. Jane and run to him, " good mo
"Master Chris, are you okay, why are you staring at me".Maria inquired about the smiles written on my face, I nudged off the feeling and said."You have a soapy foam on your head".Instantly she turned to the window and mirrored the foam off using her hand."Thanks for telling me".(Her words veered her around, and I smiled and before leaving, asked her to meet me later on to do the assignment, which would give me more time to do mine).Therefore, Maria Jose walked into my room after a few hours down, I turned around and cheerfully asked her to come in.She forced herself to slip into a scared look, it was as if, entering my room would bring nothing but danger." Maria Jose, there isn't any need to be scared, it's just a room and I promise that I don't bite".(She lets go of her book, the minute our hands touch, whirling her eyes to mine)."I....don't think it was a good idea coming here!". ( Maria Jose takes a new angle, striving to leave)"Whoa, hold on Miss I'm so scared, and calm
