I heard rushed footsteps coming towards the door of my room and in the twinkling of an eye, different doctors and nurses walked into my room, in a single file. All of the doctors wore white coats over their blue scrubs and they had their stethoscopes with them while the nurses only wore light blue scrubs.

Apparently, the Doctor who came to check me was the renowned Doctor Matthew Kent; the Chief Medical Director and the Head of all the other doctors in the Hospital. Little wonder why they all came in their numbers immediately he called.

He was also the most skilled surgeon in the hospital and mostly attended to patients in the VIP rooms. It was like he was created just for the main purpose of being a surgeon because he didn't have to stress too much, all he had to do was check the patients' files, check the patients' symptoms and give a diagnosis and after various tests were carried out on such patients, he was always correct and the others felt he was too proud. This made him also g

    Anne sat on the edge of the small bed in her small room, she felt uneasy, it was like something was wrong but she could not figure it out yet. She had just gotten back from work and she was tired but the way she was feeling, overshadowed the tiredness. She began to bite her nails and tap her feet continuously on the rug in her room, while the fingers on her other hand kept tapping her knee at the same time. This, she always did whenever she was anxious and needed to figure her thoughts out."Why do I feel so uneasy?" She asked herself, as she began to drown herself in different thoughts.Anne Jones; my best friend, we met in college and we were roommates, well, that was before I dropped out of college since my parents could no longer sponsor my education and they ordered me to stop, due to reasons best known to them. They claimed they had no money anymore but I knew that was all a lie, they just had other plans up their sleeves. Anne was not from a wealthy family but they were comfor

    Missing? What do you mean she is missing?" Kelvin questioned."Have you gone nuts!? He said, angrily raising his voice, making the few patients that were present look at him in a weird way.He immediately realised and remembered that he was still in the hospital and so he held the phone away from his ear and quickly walked out. He found his way into the garden in the hospital premises but far away from the wards.As soon as he was away from the piercing eyes of the people around him, he continued his conversation on the phone."What nonsense are you saying? Are you saying you can't do a freaking minor job!?" Kelvin furiously asked."I'm sorry, sir. I don't know how it happened." Paul, one of Sorin's many guards, responded to his superior, Kelvin."How can you say you don't know how it happened? Where were you?" Kelvin asked him further."I was in the hospital, sir." Paul responded."So she disappeared or grew wings and flew away." Kelvin asked."You were supposed to keep an eye on her

    It was a warm summer evening, and the sun had just set, leaving the sky bathed in a warm orange glow. John Richardson sat on the chair and stared at the large wall clock in his study.The study was a vast, elegant space with high ceilings, big windows, and furniture that was designed specifically for it. It had a large fireplace, beautiful chandeliers, and detailed mouldings. The walls were adorned with priceless artwork, antique maps, and rare books.At one end of the study, there was a well-stocked bar, complete with premium liquors, vintage wines, and rare whiskies, including the red wine belonging to the Zaveris company. Also, there was a humidor stocked with the finest, priciest and rarest cigars.And at the other end of the study, there was a private library, with shelves lined with leather-bound books and first editions. The collection of books ranged from classic literature to modern business books and biographies of other successful people.The massive desk, which was crafte

    The elevator was a few floors away from the ground floor when it stopped to pick up some other people and at that moment my heart began to beat faster than normal. I was scared that my cover would be blown and I might be caught by one of Sorin's guards since they always worked undercover and they were always anywhere he was. Since I had seen one of them upstairs, I knew that there would definitely be more of them around the hospital but I was hoping not to run into any one.As the doors opened, I pulled my hood over my head once again, while using my hand to hold it over my face to prevent my face from being seen. A few medical workers walked in and thankfully, they paid me no mind. They immediately continued gisting as soon as they got in and the doors closed. I guess they had been discussing right before they got in and so, decided to continue with their discussion like I was invisible."Jane, have you heard?" One of them, who I found out was Sarah, asked."Heard what?" Jane respon

    Few Hours earlier at Daisy House Daisy Cole sat majestically in one of the chairs in her room while scrolling through her phone and snacking on some cookies and some red wine. The red wine was the one belonging to the Zaveris. She was one of the few people who could afford such exotic and expensive wine and it was the best wine, so why not?"Since Sorin is still angry and has refused to pick my calls, I might as well just chill and enjoy myself." She said to herself."I didn't really do anything wrong, did I?" She asked herself."I didn't …Whatever!" She answered herself."I'm sure he'll come around soon and will come back to me. After all, he is all mine." She said to herself once again and chuckled.She was still scrolling through her phone when one of her guards, Sonia, came and stood by her door."May I come in ma'am?" Sonia asked."Yeah." Daisy responded and Sonia smartly walked in."What is it? Is there anything I should know?" Daisy asked her."Yes ma'am." Sonia answered but w

    Hearing "I'm sorry" from a doctor has to be anyone's worst nightmare, especially for someone whose loved one is in a critical condition. Most times, it could only mean one thing - "we tried our very best but we lost him or her." So immediately the Doctor said "I'm so sorry", we all had almost the same expressions, our mouths were wide open because we screamed "Nooooooo" in unison but in a turn of events, the doctor realized what was going on and was quick to salvage the situation. "Oh No. I didn't mean they are dead." He began and our eyes lightened up with hope."So, what are you saying, Doc?" Kelvin immediately asked him because Sorin was too shocked to speak."Exactly! Doctor, were you trying to scare us to death?" Daisy rudely said but the Doctor remained calm."Please talk to us Doctor." My mum said.The Doctor sighed before and continued talking."I'm sorry I gave you the wrong impression, I think my choice of words was wrong at the moment but you all didn't wait for me to fini

    Anne woke up from her nightmare, sweating profusely, her pyjamas were completely soaked in sweat and she was burning hot despite the fact that it was not summer yet.She knew something was definitely wrong, she only had that feeling when something was not right.She shook in fear as she thought about her nightmare once again. She had dreamt about me, I was taken captive and extremely tortured and my captors were making fun of me because I was helpless and they derived joy in my pain. She tried to help but she couldn't till she woke up.She took a moment to calm down after which she grabbed the curtains and pulled it aside, revealing the bright morning sun shining through the window. Her heart sank back deep into her chest and her eyes widened in shock at the sight before her."No! This can't be happening!" She yelled.She hurriedly checked her bedside clock and was shocked at the time. She immediately sat up on the bed and rubbed her eyes, trying to shake off the weariness of sleep fr

    "Time? Time for what?" I asked the Doctor."It is time for your examination." He responded."Examination? What Examination? Am I writing an examination? Please, I know nothing about Medicine." I said with a confused look on my face.They all looked at each other's faces and giggled."Mrs Zaveri, you're not going to be writing any examinations. What I meant was that, it is now time for your medical examination to be carried out." The Doctor explained."Oh…." I said as I understood what he was saying. "But why? I'm not sick, I'm completely fine." I added."Well, you suffered a memory loss a few days ago and so, we need to check what could have caused it and make sure that you are a hundred percent fine now." The Doctor explained further."I did? I had no idea." I said, with my eyes widened in shock."Am I going to be fine?" I asked, concerned."Of course, you will." The Doctor assured me."Okay." I responded.The first Doctor signalled to the nurses and in no time they tried to help me

    The next morning I slowly opened my eyes to the warm brightness of morning light shining in through the window. The melodic chirping of birds outside filled the air, and I stretched, yawning loudly. But as my jaw cracked open wide, I remembered that I wasn't alone in the room. I quickly slapped my hand over my mouth, because I knew how much Sorin hated disturbances, and I had no intention of testing his patience.I immediately turned to his side of the bed to see his reaction, but to my surprise, he was nowhere in sight.“Where could he have gone?” I thought to myself.I wasn't sure if he had headed to the office or he was in his study, because it was one of those types of days where he would decide to stay in his study throughout the day.“Sorin?” I called out to him, hoping to get a response, even though I knew it was highly unlikely.As expected, I got no response and I wasn't too surprised. I got up and headed to the bathroom. The door was wide open and so, I knew he definitely wa

    I heard Sorin's footsteps rushing out of the room, and heading towards me. I knew he must have heard the noise.Getting to where I was, and seeing that it was one of his favorite picture frames I had broken, he couldn't believe his eyes. “What the hell is this?” He yelled at me. “What exactly is wrong with you? Why are you such a clumsy girl? Why can't you just do anything right without causing chaos?”“I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.” I immediately apologized.“That's what you always say. Yet you’ll do the same thing tomorrow.” He hissed in frustration.“I'm sorry…” I said again and crouched to the ground once again. “And what the hell do you think you're doing?” He asked, his eyebrows furrowed.“I want to clean it up right away.” I answered, trying to pick the broken pieces.My eyes remained fixed on him as I spoke to him to the point where I forgot what I was doing. And before he could warn me, I felt a sharp pain shoot through my already injured fingers.“Ouch!” I yelped, instin

    Taken aback, I instantly stepped back. Tongue tied and speechless, I stood there staring at him in confusion.“Have you suddenly gone deaf?” He yelled at me again. “I just asked you a question. What the hell do you think you're doing, hugging me like that? Since when did we get so affectionate? Huh?”I was completely confused and for a moment, I didn't understand what was going on. This was someone with whom we had a very beautiful time hours before, but it seemed like he had become someone else in just a matter of hours. Like he had become a completely different person.Finally able to find my voice, I began to speak, “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I thought we were already getting along. I thought that we—”“You thought wrong!” He barked, and I shook with fear.“Or wait, let me get this straight. Is it because we went out together and the whole world now knows that you're a “WIFE” to me?” He stressed the word “wife” in such an uncomfortable manner, and I could see the irr

    Sorin pulled up at the parking lot of one of the Cole’s detached mansions in a private estate. Daisy had sent him the details of her whereabouts earlier and asked him to meet with her there. Despite the fact that it was many miles away from the city, he still drove all the way down to meet her.He turned off the ignition, took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.“Welcome sir,” He was greeted by one of Daisy's guards.Sorin nodded in acknowledgement, and asked, “Where is she?”“She is inside. She is waiting for you in the living room.“Thank you.” He responded, and walked in briskly.Staring outside through the gigantic glass door, holding a cup of wine in her right hand, and folding her left hand against her chest, was Daisy.The moment she sensed Sorin's presence, she scoffed.“You said you wanted to see me and that it was urgent. What's up?” Sorin said, standing metres away from her.She remained in that same spot, saying nothing, making the both of them remain in an awkward s

    “Somewhere quiet?” I asked, still surprised.“Yes, that's correct.” He responded with a smile.“Uhmm… I thought that—”“Nah…” He gently interrupted me. He then leaned forward, his eyes staring deep into mine, making my heart tighten in my chest. “You don't have to think about anything. Just follow my lead.”As I looked at him, my eyes fell on his lips once again. The soft curve of his lips as he smiled did something I couldn't explain to me. I could feel his warm breath on my skin and this also sent shivers down my spine. The air around us felt charged with tension.Every sound seemed amplified - the soft batting of his eyelids, the gentle rhythm of his breathing. Everything seemed to possess its own loud sound. Time also seemed to stop completely, and I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for something to happen.In that moment, everything else faded into the background, and all I could focus on was him. It was like it was just us two in the whole world. I felt drawn to him,

    Sorin was speechless. He just stared at Daisy without knowing what to say. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that she would show up all of a sudden, without informing him beforehand.He helplessly stared at her, wishing he could do something before she began to spew the wrong words, which would complicate matters further.He knew better than to scold her because that would cause a scene, and with the amount of reporters and cameras in their faces, that would be the craziest and most stupidest idea.I, on the other hand, stood there without knowing what to say. I was definitely confused. It was only a matter of minutes before Daisy let the cat out of the bag about her relationship with Sorin.“Hi Sorin.” She greeted him with a broad smile.“Daisy…” Sorin spoke nervously. “I didn't know you were coming. I mean, you didn't tell me you were coming. I didn't expect to see you here.” He said it all in a rush.“I know.” She still had her smile on. “I wanted to surprise you. I hope you

    ZAS HOLDINGS “Good morning, everyone.” Anne happily greeted everyone as she walked into the office, but she got no response, which was very unusual.Her eyes scanned the room, and she soon noticed her colleagues, gathered together at a table, focused on something on another colleague's computer.“What are you guys so focused on?” She asked, loudly.“Shhhhh….” They all gestured for her to be quiet, and she held her breath.“What is going on?” She whispered to Isabella, who was also in the room.Isabella pulled her to the other side of the room. “Haven't you heard?” Anne furrowed her brows in confusion. “Heard what?”“Heard the latest news.” Isabella answered.“I'm not sure of what you're talking about. What is the latest news?” Anne asked further, looking confused still.“The latest news about Sorin Zaveri.” Isabella said, sharply. “How do you not know? Have you been living under a rock?” She rolled her eyes at her.“I'm sorry, but when it comes to social media. I'm not really curren

    Her question was a bit over the edge. I was sure it threw Sorin off balance but thankfully he was quick to compose himself. Sorin’s expression remained neutral, but a hint of annoyance was evident in his eyes. “I'm not sure where you're getting your information from,” he said as calmly as possible, “but I can assure you that my marriage to Andrea is not 'troubled’ like you said. Compared to other marriages, we're still in the early stages of our relationship, and like any couple, we're navigating the usual challenges of building a life together.”He paused for a moment, his gaze sweeping the room to see the reactions of the other reporters before returning to the reporter who asked the question. "As for the ‘circumstances surrounding our marriage,’ I think it's unfair to speculate about our personal lives without having all the facts. Andrea and I are committed to making our marriage work, and we're not going to let rumors or speculation dictate or ruin our marriage.” My eyes remain

    The day picked for the press conference arrived quicker than we all expected. And on that day, the room was filled to the brim with different reporters because every major news outlet had made sure that they sent their top and best reporters to drill Sorin about the recent scandal.The room was filled with anticipation, the air was thick, and the hums of their continuous whispered conversations filled the air, and could be heard from outside.My brows were furrowed and my face was contorted with fear of uncertainty. This was the very first time in my entire life that I would be attending a press conference, and this wasn't any kind of press conference because we were going to be the center of attention and I didn't think I was ready for it.Noticing my expression, Sorin turned to me and said, “Just calm down. You don't have to say anything. I will do all the talking. Just follow my lead.”I sighed and nodded slowly.“Sir, it's almost time. The press conference is supposed to begin any
