A year later

It's been a year since everything happened, Keith took charge of once more after blatantly lying to the whole world about the death of his family, indeed if there was an award for the best lying bastard, it will be him. Because Keith has gotten out of hand.

"Alexis!!"

He walks into my room after shouting my name from a far distance, "yes! What is it" I frown seeing him there, Keith turns to eyes aside and saw that my bags has been packed up.

"Going somewhere?" (He asked)

"Yes, I am" ( I answered donning the same look on)

I watched and saw that he moved further, hence dragged me up close after tossing my bags in a fit of rage.

"How dare you leave, why are you leaving if I may ask?". (Continue the same action)

I attempted to move away from him, rather he pulls me stronger than before, pushing for a response.

"Let go of me"  I request when fabian strolled in to find us In a defensive position.

He Frowns and said, "what the hell is going on?".

His voice gradually moves Keith away from me, he turns to his father and replied, "nothing father, is just that Alexis here thinks she can leave and never return, just because she couldn't get over the fact that David is dead".

(I turned and said) " excuse me!! Do you possibly need a medal for the crimes you and your father have committed, and yes!! I still can get over the fact that Chris is dead and was killed by his brother".

Keith kept a straight face, before leaving the room, fabian then decides to add his words, Keith left to say.

He says, "oh wow!! Miss Alexis, do you think that your little emotional blackmail can affect my son?".

(Continues talking after reading the expression on my face)

"Indeed you should be grateful that the love Keith has for you, it's still functioning, and trust me, the second, my son gets tired of you, I'll make sure to send you straight to hell".

I looked and saw his words got me irritated than before, apparently, the best thing I have to do is to leave, and make sure Keith lunatic behavior doesn't take the only thing, l love, my family.

The same day, I figured a stroll we do me good, so I did and walks through the street on a Stormy night

Chris will always forbid me to do so, but now that he isn't here, who would stop me.

(Contemplated to me, when a hand staff and dragged me away into a secluded spot).

A masculine voice airs out to me, "are you seriously going to walk through the night, in this storm?".

"Huh," I weaved out trying to get a glimpse of the stranger that pulled me away in a dash.

"Who are you?". ( Tires to take a look as he falls his face away from me, and said, "there isn't any need to ask, who I am!! Because I am certain that when the time is right, you will, but now, I need you to go home, it isn't save for a lady to walk through the streets in an ungodly hour".

Before I could find my words, the wind pushed him, the same way he came, I had no idea who he was, but something tells me otherwise.

(Frowns)

A few minutes later, I returned home to meet the front door locked, I pulled out my phone only to infer it was only past ten, and who would in his right senses locked the door when it isn't time to.

"Keith!" I called out to him, yet no response, I did the same action and got interrupted by his voice.

He yelled through his room window, "Alexi's!! Why are you calling my name, don't you see that the front door is locked and yes, before you alter any more words, I believe you should return to wherever you came from".

I got pissed off, I yelled out in anger, "excuse me, I never wanted to stay here in the first place, you forced me to".

(Keith Smile's and adds up his words)

"Then why didn't you refuse me, yet you chose to stay, because!!!" He tried to speak but I said before he could.

"Because you threatened to kill my family, if I refused to heed to your words, or maybe this you forget?".

(Eyes locked as the chapter ends)

After trying to plead my way through, Keith still refuses to open up the door, and if that wasn't enough, it began to rain heavily, and I was caught in the middle.

My eyes looked for a possible route to hide away from the rain, but no place seems to work out for me, that's when Keith decides to get the door open and met me in a drenched way.

"Oops sorry!!! It seemed like the rain got to you". (he mocked, and walked away)

I squeezed out the water from my clothes and returned to my room.

The following morning, I woke up with a high fever, it seems like the effect of the rain has taken a toll on me.

(Sneezed out loud)

And it got to Keith attention, as he pushed the door to my room, "Tori are you okay?" He asked standing at its entrance.

I kept a straight face without altering a single word to him and got up to leave, only to stop and looked he held me back.

"Keith . let me go". ( Sneezed outrunning my left hand to my nose)

"Why should I!!! Do you forget you're sick". ( In a calm and collected tone he airs out, oblivious to the fact that, whatever that happened, was as a result of his actions)

I pushed his hands away, answered back, "seriously, are you going to do this with me, did you forget that I am running a fever because of you?".

He snaps at me, "why do you always blame me for everything, I do know that, I shouldn't have locked you outside the house, but what can I do? You gave me no choice after trying to leave this house, and me". ( Fills up space between, stroking his hair".

Keith behaved like a psychotic maniac, swiftly his losing his head and I wonder what happens when he completely goes mad.

"Please leave" I added

"Excuse me," he says and insisted I repeat my words, so I said once again, "Keith, please get the hell out of my room, and lastly don't let the door hit you from behind". ( Weaved my eyes away, as he watches me donne in disgust).

A cloud of mixed feeling, hovered around me, as I saw him storm out of my room in, aggravated manner.

I strolled downstairs and met the whole mansion,  decorated with illuminating lights.

"What's going on?" I inquired by getting a bag tossed at me by Keith himself.

"Get dressed, we have a party tonight?" He says and walked away.

His rude behavior, got me angered and due to that, I kept the bag in the living room, only to get shouted at by him.

"Pick that up right now?".( Yells out feeling angered)

I turned and met his furious glare, "I am not going to?" (Refused to heed to his words)

Keith angrily dropped his suit at the couch and rushed out to me, "seriously, are you not going to do has l said?".( Awaits for my response)

"No, I will not, and please, don't even think of blackmailing me because anything you do right now, will make to effect on me". 

My words spark a weak smile on, he falls his eyes, went back to pick up the bags gifted to me by him, and turned back to me.

"Do you think, I won't be able to get you doing what I want, and Yes, I know you would act in such manner and I hope you do as I say, or else, your family will pay for it, maybe your little sister'.

He paused and then said.

"What's her name again, oh yeah!!! Lisa right?."
