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
I staggered into the room like a drunkard without knocking. Little wonder why they looked so shocked when they saw me."Geez, what happened to you, ma'am?" Kelvin said, after finding his voice."Did someone douse you with water? Did you get into a fight?" Kelvin kept asking but I could not answer.I was still so out of breath that I had to crouch so that I could relax and catch my breath before I began to explain myself.Kelvin rushed to me immediately he saw that I was crouching and out of breath at the same time.He helped to a chair and ordered James to bring me some water."James, don't just keep looking like a zombie! Get some water for her this instant!" Kelvin said.James swiftly walked to the fridge and got me a bottle of cool water to drink while Sorin just kept looking like a movie was being played for him to watch.After a few minutes, I was back to my normal self and seeing this, Kelvin resumed with the questions."Ma'am, what really happened?" He began."Ask her why she l
"What is that, sir?" A concerned Terry asked Jake."Are you out of your mind or out of your senses? Which one is it?" Jake thundered at him."I'm so sorry, sir." Terry said, still confused.Jake smashed his fist on the table, making some books and files fall off the table."Are you trying to tell me that you do not know the contents of the papers you brought here for me to read?" He asked Terry who was visibly shocked at Jake's outburst.Terry picked up the papers which had been scattered all over the place and he put them together while Jake looked on as he did this.After he put them together in one piece, he looked at Jake who was glaring at him and it was very obvious that he was fuming in anger."Sir, I really do not know what is going on. If only you can tell me, I will know what to do." He said, carefully choosing his words so as not to anger Jake any more."Go through the papers yourself, you dimwit!" Jake shouted.Terry proceeded to open the papers and as he kept flipping the
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
