Alas

Alexis' arrival appeared to be a good thing for Keith, they both spent time together and he had no spear one for anyone including his mom.

So, I evacuated to my room and it hadn't been long since I went in, a knock on my door got me opening it again.

"You?" ( I said astounded seeing Alexis at my door)

"Hello Chris, may I come in?". (She asked and walked in without my consent)

"Please make yourself comfortable and tell me why are you here?".

( shuts the door close, I turned around and saw her seated on my bed).

Alexis smiles and lets out, "Tell me something Chris, Keith tells me you're the adopted son to master Leonardo Woods and that you don't bear the wood's blood.

It would seem that Keith had already complained to his friends, the look on her face showed that she was calmly waiting for me to come back...

"Why are you asking, when Keith has already told you?".

( I asked her a question and retorted with an answer)

"Because it would seem that Keith's wrong, there is something special about you and please don't tell Keith, you're more of woods than him".

( Weak smiled at me)

Alexis' words came as a surprise to me, did she also feel like I'm more of a Wood's than Kieth? If only she knew I do bear the blood on the woods family.

"Thank you, Alexis?".

(Smiles and our eyes turned to the door when Maria Jose walked in holding two glasses of wine).

"I'm sorry!! But I was asked to send this up for the both of you?".

(  Maria Jose said, Alexis gets up from the bed and took hold of the tray)

"Thank you, Maria," she said and I watched her leave without even seizing a second glance at me.

"Drink?". 

Alexis turned around and passed a glass to me.

"Thanks!!". 

I said and I was anxious to leave and meet Maria Jose.

"Chris!! Are you okay?".

She asked seeing the anxious look on my face, I turned and smiled featuring a happy face.

Maria Jose walked back in, seizing my attention back, she said, "Sir Chris!! Master Leonardo wants to speak with you?".

"Where is he?

( Alexis inquired before I could)

He's in the garden!!! And wants to speak with the two sons?".

( Says Maria Jose, afterward she left leaving me behind)

Alexis took the glass from my hand, "Shall we?" She says and walks out.

I took a few time to think and left as well.

( AT GARDENS)

Alexis walked in before me and stumbled on master Leonardo seated with his hand folded up.

The look on Dad's face wasn't pleasing to see, What is going on?", I said to myself and waited for Keith and his mom to come in as well.

Thereafter, Keith walked in with his mom, Master Leonardo raised his hands seizing our eyes on him.

He wanted to keep the tension going and threads Out his words to us.

"Welcome everyone, although I specifically asked Maria Jose to send for my two sons, so I could speak with them but this okay!! The more the merrier".. ( master Leonardo's words to us)

I thought to myself, what's he planning and why does he want to speak with us?

My curiosity came to an ease when he began speaking again (Master Leonardo)

"The reason why I called you both is because, my will has finally been written, and following with what I said previously on the day of my birthday!!! My son master Chris Woods is now the sole owner of my entire properties".
