Chapter: Chapter 86AN HOUR EARLIERAs I sat at the set table, having my breakfast, I thought about Sorin.“He didn't eat before leaving for work. I don't think he ate anything after he left his parents place.” I said to myself.An idea popped into my head, “I should take lunch to him at work.” I said to myself.I really didn't know what I was thinking or why such thought came to my head but I didn't think too much about it and got to work immediately.I went into the kitchen and met the chefs, still busy sorting out some dishes.“What does Sorin like to have for lunch on a normal day?” I asked and hearing my voice, they stopped what they were doing and turned to me.They instantly bowed slightly to greet me and I nodded in response with a smile.“So? What does he like to have?” I asked again and this time, they turned to look at each other, while I stood there with a puzzled look on my face.“Why? What is going on? Did I say something wrong?” I asked, quite confused.“Oh no ma'am. You didn't. We were ju

Chapter: Chapter 85The drive to the office was as quiet as a graveyard, as both parties had nothing to say to each other throughout. Sorin had a lot going on in his head since he had to plan things out properly, while Kelvin, on the other hand, could not really understand why Sorin would want to divorce me when I did him no wrong. He had thought all Sorin needed was time and that with time he would warm up to me, but now, it seemed like he had been so wrong. It seemed as if he didn't know his friend anymore.Finally, they got to the office and Sorin got to work but as Kelvin was about to leave the room, Sorin reminded him,“Don't forget to do what I asked you to do.”“What is that?” Kelvin asked him.Sorin, who had started working on his computer, raised his head to look at Kelvin.“Don't tell me you've forgotten already. I'm talking about the Divorce lawyer I asked you to get me! I need it done as soon as possible!” “Oh, that…” Kelvin replied with a frown.“What do you mean by ‘oh, that’? Were you pret

Chapter: Chapter 84“Oh my. I didn't notice you were standing there.” I said shyly, and he just looked at me, smiled faintly and turned around.“Breakfast will soon be served.” I said, following him.“It's fine, I'll skip breakfast today. I have an urgent meeting to attend to.” He replied and I was sincerely surprised because on a normal day, he doesn't give a damn about me. Even when I try to talk to him, he'll just shut me off but here he was telling me that he had a meeting and would skip breakfast. “Did you hear what I said?” He asked me and I snapped back out of my thoughts.“Yes, Yes, I heard you.” I replied and right then, Kelvin walked in.“Good morning, ma'am.” He greeted me with a smile, making Sorin raise his eyebrows as he looked at the both of us.Good morning, Kelvin.” I replied with a smile too.“Sir, the car is ready.” He told Sorin and took his work bag from him, while Sorin nodded in acknowledgement.“I'll see you later, I guess.” Sorin said awkwardly and walked away, while I just star

Chapter: Chapter 83I woke up to a pair of annoyingly handsome eyes staring at me while I slept and I jumped up in shock- It was Sorin. He immediately stood up and cleared his throat, while I looked out through the window and realized it was morning already.“Oh my God. You're back?” I asked as I composed myself.“Isn't it obvious enough?” He answered sharply and I just sighed.“I’m sorry. I have just been worried since you left yesterday. I didn't know where you were and I tried calling you countlessly, but you weren't picking any of my calls. I slept off still trying to reach you.” I said in a rush before he could shut me up.“Well, as you can see, I'm fine. There is no point worrying.” He said as he began to take off his clothes, preparing to go and have his bath.“Do you need anything?” I asked.“No!” He responded.“But where were you last night?” I asked him and with the way he immediately glared at me, I almost curled up into a ball on the bed.“I'm sorry, I didn't mean to. I don't know what I was

Chapter: Chapter 82“I'm so sorry, it's not because the fish is bad, but the thing is…. I'm allergic to shellfish and seafood in general.” I squeezed my face as I spoke, waiting for their reaction.“What!?” They all exclaimed in unison because they almost couldn't believe their ears.“And you didn't know this, Sorin?” His father asked him but he remained quiet, he just kept staring at me.At some point, I was getting scared because I didn't understand what was going on or why they were so shocked. “Come to think of it, she is left-handed.” Sorin's mother said as she observed.“Yes, that's true.” His father agreed.“How is this possible? How can she bear so much resemblance?” She whispered with a shaky voice, and her husband immediately held her hand, like he was comforting her.I remained seated, looking so confused because no one was telling me anything. I was just left in the dark to figure out what was going on by myself and this was the hardest thing.I turned to look at Sorin, hoping to get an answ

Chapter: Chapter 81Grandpa!!!” Sorin screamed as he ran to hug his grandfather. I had never seen him like that. He always came off as too mature but seeing his grandfather, it seemed like, another part of him surfaced. Like the childish part of him surfaced.“You're choking me, young man. Don't you know you're becoming an old man too.” His grandfather joked.“Grandpa! I'm still a very young man.” He said proudly, as he adjusted his suit with a smile and winked at his grandfather.“Oh, look at this boy.” His grandfather said and they all laughed.Finally noticing me, he turned to look at me.“You must be….” Grandpa Zaveri said but before he finished speaking, Sorin's mum interrupted him.“Yes, she is the reason we are gathered here, G.P. She is Sorin's wife, Andrea.” Mrs Zaveri He moved closer to me and stared at me, but I was very uncomfortable. I felt like running to hide somewhere because I didn't know what was going through his mind.“Goo….Good evening, sir.” I stuttered.“Sir? How dare you?” He ex

Chapter: Chapter 110In just a short moment, the ambulance arrived at Veronica’s house, and Trey's body was immediately observed keenly, and he was soon confirmed dead.Seeing that it was Trey, the head paramedic, whose name was Dan, stared in shock. He then sighed. “Take him into the ambulance. We might have to find out the cause of his death.” He immediately instructed the other paramedics to carry Trey's body out of the house.“I’m quite baffled here. How did this happen? What really happened?” Dan asked Steve and the other guests, including Megan, who looked disturbed.“We have no idea. We just came into the room and met him like this.” Steve replied, honestly.“Is… is he really dead?” Linda asked, her voice shaking.Dan sighed sadly. “Unfortunately, Yes.”“Oh no!” They all exclaimed, with defeated expressions.They had actually hoped that they were wrong about it all along, but with the confirmation of the paramedics, they soon knew that their worst fear had actually happened.“Are you guys sure tha

Chapter: Chapter 109Seeing Trey’s lifeless body in the pool of his own blood, Megan retched, and swiftly rushed into the bathroom and began to throw up.“What could have happened? Who could have done this?” Steve thought to himself as he observed Trey’s motionless body.Truly, he didn't like Trey because of what happened between them in the past, but never in a million years did he imagine that Trey would be in such a state at that point in time.Megan came back into the room, and they remained transfixed in one spot for a while, before someone finally spoke up.“Who did this?” One of the guests, Madeline, asked, sounding completely terrified.“Is he still breathing?” Another person, Linda asked, her voice shaking.“Does he look like he is?” Someone else, Sam, replied, coldly.Linda’s eyes widened. “What!?”“You can't be so sure. Maybe he is just unconscious.” She said again, trying hard not to believe what Sam said.“I think Sam might be right. He doesn't look like he is breathing.” Luke said, in suppor

Chapter: Chapter 108After walking and reminiscing on past events for a while, Steve and Megan finally headed back to Veronica's house, but when they got outside the house, they noticed that the guests were a lot less than before they left the house earlier.“Seems almost everyone has gone.” Steve stated, and Megan nodded in agreement.“Yes, it seems so. I'm sure they had so much fun.” She replied, looking around.“Yeah, that's true.” Steve nodded in support.“Hi Uncle Steve.” Scott suddenly shouted, jumping out from nowhere, startling them.“Oh my, you scared me.” Megan exclaimed, and Steve smiled.“Did I?” Scott asked as he excitedly jumped into Steve's arms.“Yes, you did.” Megan replied, frowning.“Did you go somewhere?” He asked, “I have been looking everywhere for you guys.”“Oh, yes. We took a walk.” Steve answered with a smile.“Really?” Scott asked, staring at Steve and Megan.“Yes. We had some things to talk about.” Steve explained, still smiling.“Oh, so where's Vee?” Scott asked, seeing as Ver

Chapter: Chapter 107Seeing that it was indeed Trey, Veronica fearfully took a few steps backwards, away from him.Noticing her reaction, he knew that she possibly knew him, and so he got up from the bed.“Oh, you know me already?” He asked her, his tone, menacing.“What makes you think so?” Veronica asked him. Her heart, beating fast, not sure of what she should have said. “I don't know you.” She blurted out.“Oh really?” He asked mockingly, taking a step towards her.“Yes.” She lied, slowly retreating.He laughed hysterically. “Why does your expression say otherwise?” He queried her. “You don't look like you're seeing me for the first time.” He stated the obvious, making her more uncomfortable.“That's not true.” Veronica insisted, and he laughed again.“You’re saying something, but your actions say otherwise.” He said, “What do you mean?” She asked him and instead of responding, he took a couple of steps forward, making her take steps backwards instinctively.“There you go.” He said, proving his point,

Chapter: Chapter 106TWO WEEKS LATERAs the cock crowed, Veronica's eyes slowly opened, but she immediately shut her eyes because of the little ray of sunlight, shining through the slight opening in the curtains, right into her eyes.She adjusted her sleeping position, and remained still on her bed for a short moment. She opened her eyes again, and gently rubbed her heavy eyes. She checked the time and it was a few minutes before 7am.Her eyes drifted away from the clock to the ceiling and she kept staring at the ceiling as the thought of going back to sleep filled her mind.She yawned loudly, and stretched her body.“Today, I don't feel like doing anything. I just want to sleep in.” She said to herself, as she pulled her duvet over her head, and went back to sleep.Just a few minutes later, her phone chimed, but she was too tired to pick it up to check who she got a message from.She had stayed up late the previous night because she had a lot on her mind. She didn't know why but memories of her life in h

Chapter: Chapter 105“We?” Scott questioned with a raised eyebrow.“Of course ‘we’, or wait a minute, were you guys actually planning to do this behind my back?” She asked with a frown.“Of course not. I didn't want any form of celebration. In fact, Steve just got to know fear minutes ago. Only Scott knew about it.” Veronica explained to Megan.“Hmmmmm.” Megan muttered, her tone noncommittal and her expression neutral. “Are you sure?” She asked.Before Veronica could answer, Steve spoke up in her defense. “Yes, everything she said is true. I just got to know about it a few minutes before you walked in.” He confirmed.Megan nodded, obviously not convinced.“I didn't expect anything else.” She muttered and Steve frowned.“What does that mean?” Steve asked, trying to understand the reason for her statement.“It's nothing.” She smiled, and looked away.“Anyway, what do you guys think we should do?” She asked, and Veronica sighed hopelessly.“Actually, like I said, I don't want to celebrate. I just want to be
