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 moment I saw Daisy, my legs began to wobble underneath me."Good morning. Oh no, aftern…., no evening!" I stammered while trying to find the right words.Daisy didn't even pay attention, she just looked at me scornfully and hissed before proceeding to walk to Sorin who was sitting up on the bed.I saw his eyes light up with so much joy the moment she walked into the room and she drew him into a huge warm hug. My heart couldn't take it, I just kept looking at them because no matter how I tried, I just could not look away from them. I was also confused on whether or not to walk out of the room. While I was still struggling with organizing my thoughts, I heard Daisy say to me,"Are you just going to stand there like an effigy or what?""And why is she looking like this?" Daisy asked and Sorin shrugged."Move!" She ordered and I immediately snapped out of my thoughts.I opened the door and ran out immediately. I was sobbing profusely as I ran, leaving Kelvin with no other choice than
Kelvin took me back to the Neurology Department to conclude my examination. He helped me into the room and made sure I didn't leave because I had already told him while we were on our way there that I felt suffocated and I wanted to leave."You can't leave the hospital, ma'am. You need to be perfectly fine before you do so." He had said to me.I was initially silent, but then I thought to myself, "Why is Kelvin nice to me despite the fact that his boss does not want to have anything to do with me."Ma'am, I'll come back to check on you later, but if you do not see me, you will definitely see someone else." He said to me and I snapped out of my thoughts, before he turned to speak to the doctors.He told the doctors to take good care of me while he was gone and that they should make sure nothing went wrong. He also told them to keep an eye on me and that he would send someone else to come and stay with me. After that, he left the room for Sorin's immediately....Daisy stood transfix
"Sir, I don't think it is something you want to know about." James said, seeing how angry Kelvin was getting."You don't think it's something I should know? Why then did you bring it up? Have you lost your mind or something? " Kelvin said, raising his voice.His deep voice called the attention of others to them and he hastily composed himself."Follow me." He said to James, who then immediately followed him as he walked away from the prying eyes of people.Watching them go, my father then thought about seizing the opportunity and checking on me in my room."Should we go and check on Andrea? The doctors seem to be taking too long in there." My father said. "Yea, I think we should just do that to waste time." Mother replied.While they were talking, Daisy's guard went there and whispered into Daisy's ear and she stood up immediately and started walking away."Are you leaving already?" Mother called out to her as she walked away."You expect me to sleep here? Jokers!" Daisy responded ru
Holding his face with his hand, he looked at the lady who had slapped him and became instantly speechless. Kelvin was also shocked beyond words at what was going on.The lady was about to slap him the second time, when Kelvin immediately stopped her. He quickly held her hand in the air and dropped it firmly."What do you think you're doing, madam?" He asked her but instead of replying, she tried to slap him yet again but Kelvin held her firmly.She tried as much as possible to loosen his grip on her but it was impossible because Kelvin was obviously stronger than she was.The more she tried to escape from his grip, the stronger he tightened his grip on her in anger and it soon became unbearable for her."You're hurting me." She cried out and soon began to sob."Boss, please." James pleaded.Seeing this, Kelvin loosened his grip and let her go. She then bent down and kept sobbing."So, will one of you at least explain what is going on here?" Kelvin asked."Sir… She is my girlfriend." J
AN 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
The 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
“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
I 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
“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
Grandpa!!!” 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
As we stepped onto the grounds of the mansion from the car, I could not help but notice a lot of things. The mansion itself was a grand structure with towering columns, marble floors, and extravagant chandeliers that sparkled in the sunlight, the kind that could never be found just anywhere except with the high and mighty in the society. The interior was so lavishly decorated with priceless works of art, intricate tapestries, and luxurious furnishings.We were met by a lot of staff, most especially, the guards. There were so many of them that one would almost mistake the mansion for the home of the president of the country.The guards looked like they were highly trained professionals, ensuring the safety and security of the mansion and its environs at all times. Their job was to patrol the grounds day and night, monitoring security cameras and responding swiftly to any potential threats. I kept wondering what the house of the president would look like if Sorin's parents’ house looked
The Previous Day“Tell that girl….What's her name again?” Sorin asked over the phone.“Which girl sir?” Kelvin asked, pretending not to know who Sorin was referring to.Sorin shot him a deadly stare, “You know who I'm referring to, don't play games with me, Kelvin. I'm in no mood for games right now.”“I'm sorry, sir. Do you mean Mrs Andrea?” He asked.“Yes, that.” He said, squeezing his face.“Tell her to meet me in my study in 5 minutes.” Sorin said over the phone to Kelvin.“Alright, sir.” He replied and off he went to my room.I was scrolling through my new phone when I heard someone knocking gently on my door.“Yes, who is there?” I asked.“It's Kelvin, ma'am.” He answered.“Oh, please come in.” I invited him in and he walked in.“How are you doing, ma'am?” He asked.“Good, I guess.” I replied with a faint smile.“The boss asked to see you.” He said and my mouth fell open. “In five minutes.” He added, and my mouth fell further open.“Wh…. Why?” I managed to stutter after finding
I couldn't help but stare at Sorin. He was really a handsome looking man and he definitely was every woman's dream, no wonder Daisy wanted to tear me apart the other day.He was wearing a black tailored Tuxedo which fitted him perfectly, making him stand tall and confident. He wore a white shirt underneath, which made his already chiseled features more noticeable. He had a black suede bow-tie around his neck to compliment his appearance. His hair was styled so perfectly and his eyes sparkled as I looked in them. His black shoes were also so shiny. He had the latest wristwatch strapped to his left wrist. I would have been able to swear that I perceived one of the best perfumes I have ever smelt all my life, as its beautiful, strong and masculine fragrance filled the room. No wonder I fell in love with the man even before I met him. I mean, he looked like a perfect work of art.“Oh my goodness!” Kelvin exclaimed from behind Sorin.“She looks beautiful, right?” Alice asked, with a smile
