"The truest form of love is how you behave toward someone, not how you feel about them."
~Steve Hall

"I want to say thank you to my partners, thank you to the optical department, research team, the design team, the public administration team, the testing team. You guys are amazing and also I would want to thank someone who wasn't part of the team but rather a part of my team. My fianceé, Anna Wilson."

All eyes turn to look at me and the anger in my face as a result of Keffi words vanishes away. I look up with a little smile at him to find him grinning up from the stage and he mouths an "I love you," causing my smile to increase.

After his speech, we make our way home, it was Friday so there was no need for me to go back to my place.

Over the next thirty minutes drive home, we remain silent. I didn't say anything because I was lost in my thoughts.

I couldn't stop thinking about Keffi and what she said to me and I didn't know what to do either. I know my job is to keep Eli thinking that I am Anna and in the last week I think I've got it done perfectly, but what if what ruins everything isn't me? What if what ruins everything is someone from the outside, someone whom Eli is fond of, someone like Keffi, what then? Anna would never want to hear that outside forces ruined her marriage, she would end up linking it to me one way or the other and dragging me down.

A few days ago, I didn't even know about the existence of Keffi and now she's a bigger threat than ever because she's determined and has nothing to lose.

She also loves Eli and everyone who is an observer can see by the way she is around him. She loves him and seems to do good for him which is more than I can say for Anna.

Eli loves Anna though and I don't know why, but nobody knows why we fall in love the way we do, if we did, we probably wouldn't.

My goal now is to keep Keffi who might genuinely love Eli away and keep Eli's heart fixed on Anna who may not even give a damn about him.

"You have been quiet for too long," Eli say and I feel his hand rest on mine making me jolt a little.

I sigh and turn to stare at him, my eyes softening as they settle in his, "Just thinking, about the wedding that's all." I say the first thing that comes to my mind.

"What about the wedding?" He enquires, lacing his fingers in mine and the heat of his hold engulfs me.

"It's three weeks away, a lot can change before that day." I give in to my worry, using the same line Keffi had used earlier.

That woman.

"You think that I might call it off?" He ask with slight displeasure.

Not how I would put it, but yeah.

"Why are you marrying me?" I ask instead of replying because though I tell myself it's because he loves Anna and would do anything for her, I don't think love is enough to make one willing to risk everything and choose someone against all odds.

He brings my hand up to his lips and kisses the back of it and that causes me to shiver, "Because I love you, because you complete me, because when I look into the future, you in it is what makes sense. You were with me in my darkest times and I cherish that more than anything."

My eyes grow glassy and I look away from him because of the guilt that plagues my heart. This man doesn't deserve to be treated this way when his only offence was falling madly in love. It is also horrible that I'm greatly a part of it. Yes, the money came after, but there was a lot at stake if I had said no and a lot is still at stake.

I blink the tears, "What about Keffi?" I ask, raising a brow.

"What about her?"

I give him a squinted look, "You're the observant one, what do you think about her?"

"I think she's smart, intelligent and she's very dedicated to her work. After we merged she could have gone with other companies with the knowledge and expertise and I wouldn't even blame her, but instead, she chose to stay with us, she has my respect."

"I think she wants more than your respect though," I say underneath my breath and cleared my throat.

He turns to me with a funny look, probably sensing there was something off with my line of question. "Why are you asking about her, babe?"

I shrug harmlessly, "I don't know, I just think she might have different reasons for staying."

"A different reason, how do you mean?"

"She may not be loyal to Aiden & co. as she is loyal to you," I reply as straight forward as I can be and I know doing this might bring disaster down on me, but I don't think I will be able to live with my self knowing I didn't even try to bring Eli to the reality of someone else loving him genuinely.

His eyes widen slowly, "No, she's just a friend, Anna, I think you might have misread the signs there."

For someone with your level of IQ, you are not very smart in picking up a woman's green signal.

I don't try to push it further though. I don't want him to stop talking to her because of this, after all, she's an asset to the company, but I want him to be aware of the things happening around him.

"Fine then, maybe I got it way over my head," I say, squeezing his hand in mine a little.

"How does your ankle feel?" He asks completely changing the subject and I glance down at my feet still out of the heels.

"Better than an hour ago."

"We could check in with the doctor and make sure that it doesn't get worse or happen again."

"It's just a little sprain and look it's not like I can't walk, I can it's going to be fine." I argue with him, an appointment with the doctor should only come when the matter at hand is out of control.

"I'm not taking chances with you, Anna, and you will see the doctor tomorrow," he stated, ending all the argument I had to give.

"Rule #6 never say no to Eli" rings in my ears and I realise that Anna probably won't fight Eli over this and I keep my peace.

We arrive home and Nneka is happy to see me and I think the feeling is mutual. She took the shoe I had in my hand and headed to my room and informed me that she would draw me a bath in my room.

"I'll be in the study," Eli informs before kissing my hair and walking off.

"I thought the glasses goes off at nine what are you going to be doing in the study?"

He smiles, a little impressed with my line of questioning, "Once it goes off, I become partially blind not completely. I can make calls and under special lightning, I can study a little."

It still doesn't make sense but I don't try to push him into explaining anything.

"Sure, I will sleep early, I was told I'll be seeing the doctor tomorrow."

I tell him with a sassy tone of voice and though he doesn't turn back I feel him smile before walking away from me.

I take my bath once I get into the room, and I proceeded to ask Nneka how the house was in my absence. She then told me everything that happened in my absence. According to her, whenever Eli got home in my absence he always locked himself in the study until the next morning and that started last week. No one has bothered him because he told them not to, but a few times Gabriel had to go help him into his room in the middle of the night.

My heart immediately goes out to him after she says this, "Do you think he's hurting himself in there?"

"I don't think so, he's too happy most days to do that," she replies to the best of her knowledge.

Then what the hell is he always doing in the study? I wondered.

Nneka served me dinner in my room, she had told Rosalina I wasn't feeling too well after the day and couldn't come downstairs. Eli wasn't downstairs either and it only meant whatever he was doing in the study was very important to him.

I tried to keep myself as far from it as possible, I don't want to be more involved with him than I already am; than Anna would so after much consideration, I give myself rest.

I documented the happening in today into the diary in the drawer before going to bed.
