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.

    "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

    We arrived back at the mansion after a few hours' drive, and as the gates opened, I sighed."Back to the invisible life!" I muttered, under my breath.I guess Kelvin heard me because he peeked at me through the front mirror.He parked the car in the garage and got out of it. I, on the other hand, was wowed by the number of cars there. Seeing the way I was looking around in amazement like a lost puppy, one would have thought that I was a stranger in the house.I had been living in the house for just a few months but I had never stepped out. Not because I wasn't allowed to go out, but because I had nowhere to go. Even if I was allowed to go out, where was I going to go in the area? Nowhere. So, I never thought about leaving the house.I still sat in the car, admiring all the other cars like I was lost in paradise when I heard a slight knock on the window.The knock drew my attention to him and it was at that moment that I realized that I ought to have alighted from the car."We are here

    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

    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,
