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 together". "I'll admit that I never wanted to, since Keith's was the only son but the day my eyes saw you, I can proudly say, I don't mind getting married to Mr Leonard's first son today". ( EVIL EYES) Alexis gave me the look, the your can't be able to stop the inevitable look on her face which to me was a sign of mockery, and no matter how humans can be, being mocked can't and isn't going to be an option. It seems the only person, that can call of this wedding is going to be dad, he was the one that had it fixed and now his going to be tht only one that gets it called off. ( Frowns) So, I waited for dads return, he smiles heaving his head to find me standing like a police, awaiting his return. "Son, have you been waiting for me?". ( Dad says) "Yes dad?" I affirmed and he goes, "why son, what's the problem?". Hence Following the tone of his voice, it's best to tell him the truth about my feelings towards Maria Jose, which of cause the person in question doesn't know about it. "It's about the marriage between Alexis and I " ( my words to him) Dad takes a few time trying to understand, "what about the wedding?", He Implored to know more. I buffed out a deep breath, tucked my stomach and told on the entire truth to him ( dad), not once did he try to stop me but the minute my mouth weaves out the last words. Dad says In a displeasing way."Chris, I'll advise you, the woods haven't gotten married outside the shores of their own class and has for the lady you speak, she isn't of the same class with you!! We've got traditions to follow son". ( Dad takes a new turn, ambling away) I railled my eyes around, what the hell those he mean by that, class and traditions to follow, it's seems dads forgotten that I was once like Maria Jose, and if he doesn't want to listen, I'll as well bend him to it. "Hold on dad?". He halts turning to meet my gaze, so I said again, "dad? Can you please tell me, if by chance Maria Jose is trained worthy to become my wife, can we both get married and my alliance with Alexis called off?". Once more, he falls deep in thought before answering, "yes son, you can get married to Maria Jose and your Alliance to Alexis will be called off". ( Revamped his footsteps and finally fled) Unfortunately, I had no idea that Maria Jose took heed of my conversation with dad, thus I turned to left but met her donning a startled look at me.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
Now reading as Alexis POV( Following morning)The morning breeze got me up from bed, I went down wearing a smile but revamped into a frown, sighting Maria Jose and Chris cuddling each other."Gross?".Her face lit up like a million fireworks being so close to Chris, and don't get me started with me, he behaved like a sick puppy in love.I wonder, if anything might happen to Maria Jose, how would he react?, ( Evil smile)What!, I'm only trying to figure out his reaction, if something was to happen to Maria Jose."Hello everyone?",A man walks through the front door.He held a box in his hand and rounded himself with a sewing tape, he must be the designer, here to get our soon to be bride's measurements, urgh, annoying.( Left and went to the kitchen)Apparently on my way out, I saw Maria Jose get fitted for her dress, we both shared a quick look and I rushed up holding a cup of coffee."Welcome Maria Jose?",Keith voice almost nudge me to the wall, I turned and he goes, "can we talk?"
urgh"I woke up with my head bleeding, "what that he'll?" I said noting someone brought me home.Immediately I made a run outside and found my car was pack at it usual spot."What happened?", While trying to recall Maria Jose came out to meet me.She says, "Chris, is everything okay?".I turned around frowning my words out."I don't know but someone tried to kill me" The frown on my face kept growing, she moves a back and looked sideways imploring to know more" what happened, how did it happen because you have been up inside your room and nothing out of the ordinary has happened.Heeding to Maria Jose's words got me. Thinking, what the heck is going on?, Is someone playing a prank on me or I'm I gradually going mental as well, because I can remember that I left to meet mom at the mental asylum and on our way outside someone knocked me out unconscious.She returns her eyes back and answered, "I don't know baby!! You're acting strange?". Tori adds up her words to me.I disapproved her
ONE MONTH LATERI woke up at seven in the morning, not because I had anything doing, but it was all thanks Alexis.She somehow had this thought that we both should go out and have a morning jog, and trust me, that wasn't a friendly invitation either."Chris?".I moved down and saw her anxiously waiting, her gaze was fixed at the front door, thus didn't know when I stepped in."Alexis?. You okay?. I asked, seeing how lost she was staring at the front door.She refixed her eyes away from it ( door) and back to me, hurling a deep toned voice. "Yes, I'm fine?", She left afterwards, I took some time to think, and came to a conclusion that, her behavior wasn't or doesn't seem ordinary, there was more to it that meets the eyes.I went behind, as Maria Jose watched me leave with her, she fastened a sad look and went away.At the side, Keith noticed that and a devilish smile, unwrapped on his face.He also left.Meanwhile, Alexis and I jogged to the park, she was a little bit faster, and her
