You Lied.

Chapter 4

Keith Jace Carter’s POV

“Ahhh! What the heck?!” I curse under my breath.

I held my aching head as I slowly sat up from my bed–, Wait, this is

Not my bed.

My eyes shoot open as I roamed my sight around and I sighed in

Relief when I realized where I am.

I’m in Shanly’s room.

Then seconds later, the door of the bathroom opened.

“There’s already breakfast and medicine on the table, take those

After you clean yourself, okay? You can manage yourself here, right?

I’ll get going, I’m needed in the office now.” Shanly then entered and

Said those when she saw me already sitting on the bed then exited

The door without giving me the chance to say a word.

That hurted my feelings. She used to take care of me whenever I had

A hangover before. She even takes day-off just to secure that I’m

Good and fine. And another thing, she never leave me without

Giving a kiss and hug or at least giving me her beautiful sweet smile.

I sighed heavily as I feel my heart clenching once again by

Remembering what I just discovered last night.

Unconsciously, my eyes wonder on Shanly’s bedside table and a

Small smile formed on my lips when I saw our picture being crumpled and

Stains of blood, it is now fine.

I’ll fight for us, Shanly,

I stood up from the bed with a new mindset and a goal. I will set

Aside that fact that Shanly is cheating on me and I will do everything

To make Shanly leave that guy and be mine again.

Call me martyr or what, I don’t care. I’m doing this because I think

That it’s only necessary to fight for the one you love and I love Shanly

So much that I can’t let her go just because of that.

And maybe it was also my fault, maybe my efforts were not enough

Or I am being boring now and she got tired of the things I do to her that's

Why does she seek someone who can give her excitement?

Placing that crumpled picture on a new picture frame may seem a

Little thing for others but for me, it was a sign that shanly still do

Care and love me, that she still considers me as a part of her life.

I went to the bathroom and do my rituals, Shanly and I both have

Spare clothes in each other's house that's why it's never a problem

Whenever we sleep in one's house.

Then I quickly went to eat the breakfast and drank the medicine she

Prepared for me and after I cleaned the dishes, I abruptly went inside

My cary and went to Tristan's house or mansion, which it really looks

Like it.

I was about to drive inside when my phone rang.

Secretary Joson Calling…

I then swipe to answer the call.

"sup, Amarah?" I greeted coolly. Thought she's my secretary, I Considered

her as my friend cuz we've been working together sinceI started my

own company.

"you'll know what's up if you'll gonna move your ass and go here in

The Company, boss." Amarah replied with a slight irritation as she

Emphasized the word 'boss' at the end of her sentence. of her sentence.

“Nah, my Handsome ass has to do something more important than

Going to the company, Miss Joson.” I retorted as I also

Emphasized ‘Miss Secretary’ and trailed with a laugh.

“Hashh! Seriously, Keith. You need to go to work cuz there are a lot of

Papers that you need to review and needs your signature and

Approval. And your Father’s company also called us that you need to

Go there as well.” She said, clearly from her tone that she is drop

Dead serious.

My head suddenly hurts when I get to hear what she said. I manage

Both my own and my Father’s company so you could now imagine

How busy my life is. But what I’m proud of is that both companies

Already established their names in the industry especially my own

Company in a very short time.

“I’ll go to work tomorrow, Amarah. Just organize all the papers in my

Company as well as Dad’s. I have something more important to

Do today. Bye.” I said in a serious tone.

“But-” I didn’t let her protest and hung-up the call.

I need to fix this thing about me and Shanly first.

I then continued to drive towards Tristan’s gate and it automatically

Opened when the scanner recognized my car.

When I went out of my car, I abruptly went towards the main door

And pushed it open and there I saw my dearest Brother standing in the

Center of his empty mansion.

Wait, empty?!

“Where the hell are your things?!, Tris?! Are you robbed?!” I

Exclaimed while looking around with wide eyes.

He started to walked towards me, her face was blank so I panicked

More.

“Hoi! Tristan Reeve, Answer me! We need to report this to the police

Right away. But how does the robber managed to get all of your

Things? And they actually passed your tight security?!” I bombarded

Him.

And when he reached my place, I was about to talk again but he

Put his hands on my shoulders and stared on my eyes then cracked

Into a grin.

“I just sold all the thing here in the first floor cuz I don’t like those

Anymore, Keith. You're overacting.” He then said and burst

Out on laughing.

I was left agape.

What the heck?!

“What?!” I exclaimed, this guy surely is weird.

“I didn’t know that you’re deaf now, Keith.” He laughed at me.

Okay, I need to breathe. Something I wonder why did I even friends

With this Man.

“First of all, what the heck, Tristan? Second, I still can’t understand the

Flow of you thoughts, and lastly, let’s set aside this topic for now

And help me with my plan.” I said continuously.

“Plan? What plan?” Tristan then asked as he creased his eyebrows.

I grin widely at him as I review my plan in my mind again.

“So this is my plan…”

I promise to get your attention back on me, Shanly.
