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 Doctors rushed to the scene immediately they heard Kelvin's loud voice, and they immediately rushed Sorin into one of the VIP wards where he was instantly attended to. In no time, he regained consciousness and was stable but he was still told to remain in bed so as to rest.After he regained consciousness, the Doctors came out to a disturbed Kelvin, who had been pacing the whole time, looking agitated. Immediately Kelvin saw the Doctors walking out, he quickly asked,"Doctor? How is he doing? Is he fine? What went wrong? Was it an accident? Was it an attack?" He kept going on with the questions without giving room for any to be answered."Sir, Calm down. There is no problem at all. Just calm down." The Doctor finally spoke."But is he going to be okay?" He asked further."Oh, yes, he will. In fact, he has regained consciousness and he is sleeping at the moment. All he needs is adequate rest for now." The Doctor replied.Hearing the news, Kelvin's demeanor changed. He was no longer

    Sorin swiftly flipped off the blanket that was used to cover his body in a flash and as he was about to stand up, he was pulled back by the drip line that was attached to his hand, which he had forgotten was still there.Before Kelvin could stop him, he yanked it off forcefully without looking back and began to walk hurriedly towards the door. As he held the handle and was about to turn the door knob, Kelvin caught him."Sir, they are fine. They are responding to treatment, they will be awake soon sir.Kelvin had been with Sorin for a very long time, almost all his life, so he immediately knew what Sorin was trying to do and where he was headed. He knew he was in a haste to check on his parents, who were still unconscious. He knew Sorin must have been thinking that something went wrong while he passed out, which was why he quickly stopped him before he left the room."Sir, you need rest as well. They will be fine and they will be awake in no time, very soon. Let's trust the Doctors."

    Kelvin proceeded to step out of the room, leaving Sorin all by himself. The moment he stepped out, he shut the door behind him but didn't leave, he stood by the side of the door, waiting to find out what Sorin was up to.A few minutes after Kelvin left the room, Sorin stood up, thinking Kelvin had left the hospital premises, and began to walk towards the door. As he opened it, he was shocked at what he saw. It was Kelvin in front of him, with his arms in his pockets and an eyebrow raised."Oh my God! Geez! What are you still doing here? I thought you left already! " Sorin exclaimed."Where are you off to, sir?" Kelvin asked."Well, I was on my way to see someone." Sorin said, turning to walk back into the room while Kelvin followed behind him."Someone? You mean your parents?" Kelvin asked."Whatever! Why are you still here anyway? Didn't you say you wanted to get me some things. Or am I mistaken?" Sorin said, settling into the bed."I knew you were up to something with the way you so

    Anne kept pacing in her room. She had received a call from the company earlier, that the interview date and time had been changed and that she would be gotten back to."Gosh! I was hoping to ace this interview. I just hope they haven't gotten someone else or someone better to fill the same position." She thought to herself."I was really hoping to get this job after that useless man fired me. Now what am I supposed to do with myself?" She said aloud."What do I do? Where do I go? Who do I call?" She kept asking herself without an obvious answer.She suddenly gave up hope and crashed on her bed, making it give a creaking sound."I don't even care if you break at this point. I'm tired of everything." She said as she looked at the bed and spoke to it.She suddenly remembered she needed to call me."Oh my! I almost forgot, I need to call Drea." She said aloud as she looked for her phone and found it on a table in the corner of her room.She picked up her phone and began to scroll through

    “Yes.” Sorin looked up at her. “What is going on? Why are you yelling?” He asked, a bit irritated.“Really? Why am I yelling? Is that all you're going to say to me?” She inquired, with a frown.Sorin’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “I don't understand. What should I have said?”She hissed. “I've been talking to you here, but you've been ignoring me because you're focused on something else.” She complained, getting upset. “Are you mad at me?” She asked him.“No.” He answered coldly, not totally paying attention to her.She turned away from the mirror and faced him. “Is your laptop your girlfriend now? Is it more important than I am to you?” She asked, curiously.He leaned backwards, on the headboard, staring at her. “Daisy, please, don't even start now…”“What is it? I'm not wrong now, am I?” She snapped at him.“Fine! I'm sorry. I apologize for not paying attention to you. But honestly, I really didn't hear you.” He quickly apologized, not wanting her to suspect anything.“Why? Because

    FOUR WEEKS LATERLOS ANGELES Daisy slowly walked out of the bathroom, her bathrobe snuggled around her body. She gently settled into the white stool at her vanity, the soft cushion, giving her the needed comfort. She stared at Sorin through the mirror, and as her gaze remained on him, and his eyes fixated on his laptop screen, a sly smile spread across her face.“Finally, I have him all to myself.” She thought to herself, her smile broadening.Sorin looked up from his laptop. “You're finally done. I thought you weren't going to come out of the bathroom till tomorrow.” He said, jokingly and she chuckled.“Well, you know how I love my beauty baths.” She commented proudly.His head snapped backwards. “Beauty baths? What does that even mean? He frowned, playfully rolling his eyes.“How do you think I keep my whole body looking this fresh and hot?” She continued.Sorin furrowed his brows.She scoffed, shaking her head. “I don't blame you. You can't understand.”“I agree. I can NEVER unde

    “Ma'am?” Kelvin rushed in too. “Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed.“Call the doctor, immediately. “ Anne yelled, panicking. Kelvin immediately took his phone, and swiftly speed-dialled the doctor. “Hello Doctor. It's an emergency. Please come by the—”“I’m not dead….” I weakly spoke up, stopping him mid-sentence.“Oh my goodness.” Anne sighed in relief, her eyes welling up with tears.Kelvin was also relieved to see that I was fine. I saw relief evident on his face.Although I spoke weakly, at least it gave them the reassurance that I wasn't unconscious, or dead, maybe.“What is going on? Is there an emergency?” I heard the doctor's voice faintly from Kelvin's phone.He immediately checked his phone and realized the doctor was still on the call. “It's nothing, Doctor. Don't bother. Bye for now.” He quickly spoke into the receiver and ended the call.“You scared me.” Anne said, wiping her tears as she helped me sit up.“I know, and I'm sorry.” I apologized, my voice a bit inaudible.“You

    “Mr Zaveri has left already.” Kelvin reiterated, making it clear to Anne that Sorin wasn't around, and her outburst was basically going to be pointless.“Geez!!!” Anne slowly dropped to the ground once again.“So he was in a hurry to leave right after serving her divorce papers? How much more insensitive could he be.” She said, her tone filled with disappointment.“Actually, we had a heated argument. A bit of an angry back and forth. I guess that was what made him pack up and leave earlier than he was supposed to.” Kelvin explained, but Anne shook her head.“That’s not an excuse, Kelvin. He is just wicked and insensitive. That's all I can say.”She turned to look at him again and at that moment, it clicked. Kelvin's busted lip was as a result of his argument with Sorin.She swiftly got up. “He did this to you, didn't he?” She asked him, her tone filled with both curiosity and certainty.He maintained a blank expression. “Anne, it's nothing.”“That's not what I'm asking you, Kelvin.” S

    “I’m so sorry.” Anne quickly apologized with a bow.And without waiting to see who it was, off she went again, running with a sense of urgency. As she got to the road, she raised her hand, hurriedly hailing a taxi.Just as the taxi stopped and she was about to get into it, Jake's car arrived, stopping a few metres away from them. And as soon as he saw her, he immediately noticed that she looked distraught.“Isn't that Anne?” He asked Terry, who also tried to confirm if it was truly her.“It appears so, sir.” Terry replied, and Jake frowned.“It appears so? Or she is the one? Which is it?” Jake asked, visibly upset by Terry's choice of words.“I'm sorry, sir. She is the one.” Terry apologized, correcting himself.“Where could she be going in such a hurry?” He asked, out loud.“I have no idea, sir. Do you want me to find out?” Terry asked him.“Yes, find out.” Jake answered sharply.Just as Terry took out his phone to make a call, Anne's taxi began to leave.“You know what? Forget it. F

    Sorin leaned his back against the door, his head resting on the cool wood of the door, wearily. The sound of my muffled sobs as I cried my heart out, seeped through the door, a haunting reminder of the pain he had just caused me. He closed his eyes as the weight of his decision crushed him. Guilt tore through his heart, as he kept wondering if he had done the right thing.“So you think you just did the right thing?” Kelvin's voice snapped him back to normalcy.He had been so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Kelvin approaching him.Seeing Kelvin standing right in front of him, he cleared his throat and remained silent right after.“You're not saying anything, Sorin.” Kelvin stated, waiting for a response from him. “I hope you're happy now.” He said, his tone laced with criticism.Knowing that Kelvin was about to begin to lecture him about what he had just done, Sorin immediately turned around, and headed towards the bedroom. Kelvin refused to back down. “Really? You're just g

    FIVE MONTHS LATER “Sign it…” Sorin tossed a bunch of documents towards me.“What is it?” I asked, picking up the documents from the table, but I didn't get a response.As I began to read the contents of the documents, I couldn't believe my eyes. I stared shockingly at the documents in my trembling hands, as Sorin's voice re-echoed in my ears, in the silence of his study.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It felt like I was having a very bad dream. A dream I wanted to wake up from so badly.He had told me to come to his study that morning because we needed to talk about some important things. I had been so excited, thinking we were finally making some progress in maybe fixing our rocky marriage, but never did I imagine that I would be staring at such heartbreaking papers.“These are divorce papers.” I said, hoping that it was a mistake or some stunt he was trying to pull.“Yes, I know. I have signed my own part of it. You should sign yours.” He answered sharply, his eyes fixated o

    “Anne?” I managed to mutter as soon as I found my voice.“Is… is this really you?” I stuttered, not sure if I was seeing the right person.Actually only Anne could have recognized me with all my disguise as she was one of the very few people who called me “Drea”.“Yes, it's me. Oh my goodness, I can't believe this.” She responded happily, her eyes welling up with tears.Before I could even say anything, she rushed towards me, and we collapsed into a tearful hug, the emotions of our reunion overwhelming us both.“I'm so speechless right now. I don't even know what to say. I don’t know how to react. I came here to get something for the house.” I said, pulling down my hoodie.“Me too…” Anne replied, wiping her tears. “I needed to get some things urgently, that was why I came here. I never would have imagined that I would meet you here.”Apparently, she had also come to get new glassware products for her kitchen to replace the ones that broke the previous night. The song I was humming was

    "A plan?” Kelvin asked, surprised.“Yes. I'll go incognito,” I said, a sly grin spreading across my face. “No one will even recognize me.”“Are you sure that will work?” He questioned, with an unsure look on his face.“Of course. Just make sure you don't follow me around so that it won't raise suspicions.” I said again. “You should dress the part too. If anyone identifies you, they'll surely know that something is fishy.”He sighed again. “No problem. I understand, ma'am.”“Thank you, Kelvin. I'll be down shortly.” I said and rushed upstairs to get prepared to leave for the hospital.I hurriedly took my bath and quickly got dressed, throwing on a pair of jean trousers, sneakers, and a black hooded sweatshirt. The large hoodie was the perfect addition to my disguise, and I deliberately chose it to help me blend in with the crowd and keep a low profile.We left the house and finally arrived at the hospital and of course, I didn't have to stand in line. I was attended to immediately.“S
