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
"Doctor, is the result out already?" I asked, the moment the doctor walked into my room with an envelope in his hands."Oh, yes. It is." The doctor responded."But you said it wouldn't be ready until after a few days. How is it out already?" I inquired."Well, because of who you are, there was no reason to delay it any further. We got to work immediately and here it is." The doctor explained."Because of who I am? So, that means, if it was someone else, they would have to wait for a couple of days?" I asked."Most definitely." He replied."But that's not fair, I protested before my mum shut me up."Will you be quiet! You're complaining because your result is ready already. Don't you want to know what exactly is wrong with you?" She said as she hissed silently.Not that I didn't want to know what the result of the brain examination was, I really wanted to know but I was too scared to know what was in that envelope."What if it is something bad? What if I'm already going crazy truly? Wh
"What about them? Did something go wrong?" Damn! I won't forgive myself if something goes wrong, I should be by their side not idling away here." Sorin said, as he hurriedly got up, ready to leave the room, but Kelvin immediately stopped him."Please, calm down, sir. It's not something bad. I was told that they are now out of Coma. "Are you serious about what you're saying?" Sorin asked, with joy in his heart."Yes, sir. But sir, that is not the only news I have." Kelvin explained."What else do you have? Tell me. I'm in such a good mood already." Sorin asked, joyfully.Kelvin thought for a while before responding. He knew Sorin would not be too happy to hear what he had to say, but he was going to say it anyway.He paused for a moment, while Sorin looked at him, anticipating the news."So, I was also told that Mrs Andrea will be discharged tonight." Kelvin spoke in a rush before Sorin could stop him.Sorin stared angrily at him before speaking,"Have you lost your mind now?" "What
"Hi, ma'am. It's time to go. Are you ready?" Kelvin asked me as he walked close to my bed but I was too stunned to speak.Seeing that I didn't respond, he had to ask me again."Ma'am, Are you alright?"Mum came to the rescue and yelled my name and this brought me back to the present."Drea! Why are you so lost in thoughts? Don't you want to go home anymore?" She asked."Home?" I asked, and sighed. "There's no home." I said under my breath and it was inaudible, so she could not hear it but Kelvin heard it."What did you just say?" She asked me."Nothing." I replied. "I'm ready to go." I added, and I got up from bed.Mother looked at Father, who shrugged in confusion and they watched as I sluggishly walked to get my box."Don't worry, ma'am. I'll get that for you." Kelvin immediately said and picked up the box. He then walked to the door, opened it and led the way out of the room while my parents and I followed closely behind him."Ehmmm…Kelvin, how is Sorin doing now?" Mother asked, wh
"I'm sorry, ma'am." Sonia pleaded, holding her cheek that had been slapped."You're sorry? Are you fucking kidding me? You were supposed to ensure that nothing went wrong! I literally put you in charge, but what did you do? You ruined everything." Daisy yelled."I take responsibility, I'll get to the bottom of this." Daisy said."No way! I won't have that. I'll get to the bottom of all this by myself." Daisy said.Hearing this, Sonia immediately looked at her. She knew trouble was brewing and whoever was found responsible might not live to tell the tale."Please, ma'am." Sonia pleaded once again, but Daisy wasn't having it. She was furious and ready to get to the end of the matter, whatever it was going to take."Now, let's start from the top. Call out all the chefs, right now!" Daisy ordered, and Sonia ran off to call them.As Sonia stepped into the kitchen, all the chefs shook in fear. They had been eavesdropping all along and they knew that disaster was brewing. They began to panic
"I don't understand." The young chef answered."What do you mean by that? What do you mean, you don't understand?" Daisy asked her."She's not here. I'm confused." She replied."Are you kidding me? So all you said was just a lie? You made the story all up?" Daisy asked her. She was now getting furious."No, ma'am. I didn't make it up. It's the truth. I swear." The young chef said, with her voice now shaky."Oh! So you're trying to take me for a fool? How are we sure that you are not the culprit and you are just trying to make a fool out of us?" Daisy asked, while staring her dead in the eyes."Never!" She yelled. I would never do such a thing. I would never take you for a fool. Not in this lifetime and definitely not in another." She assured Daisy, who just scoffed and looked away.She was getting so scared because she wasn't sure of what Daisy's next line of action was going to be. She was sure of what she saw and what she heard, but the one whom she saw was nowhere to be found."The
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
