"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

    "I should speak to Kelvin about it. Maybe he can tell Sorin on my behalf. Who knows if he'll grant my request." I thought to myself, as I stared at the remaining food on the table, which would be thrown out the moment I got up from the table.I ate the rest of my food in silence as I schemed and planned for my next line of action.I was still in my thoughts when Kelvin walked in. He wore a black suit as usual and a black shirt underneath. The sound of his heels alerted me and I looked at him and he approached me."Just the person I need to see!" I thought to myself."Ma'am, I'm going to be on my way back to the hospital now." He said, as he got to me."Oh, okay. I almost forgot." I responded."But errrrrr…. I need to talk to you about something." I said, and he raised an eyebrow."What is that?" He asked me but I immediately changed my mind."You know what? Never mind, it can wait. I'll just tell you some other time." I immediately said, but he smiled."What if it's too late by then?

    "Are you just going to keep staring at us?" Mrs Zaveri asked, concerned about her son, Sorin."Son, why are you looking at us that way?" Mr Zaveri asked."Yes, son. And you look so stressed too. What is the matter?" Mrs Zaveri added."I almost lost you both, mum. You don't expect me to act like nothing happened." Sorin said, with pain in his voice."Hmmmmmm…. But here we are now. We are not dead." His father said, but Sorin was quiet.He took a moment to take everything that had happened in, before proceeding to talk again."How are you doing now? Do you still feel pain? Do you feel any pain at all?" Sorin kept asking, impatiently."Sorin. Calm down, we're getting better. Isn't that right, darling?""Yes, that's right. Isn't it obvious? At least, I feel better than a couple of days ago." Mrs Zaveri said, as she smiled weakly."Please let me know if there's any problem, so I can tell the doctors to do something about it immediately.""No problem, son. The doctor says we only need to st

    Few minutes earlierA strange figure lurked around on the VVIP floor, his slender, towering frame covered in all black. His broad shoulders were embraced by his black leather jacket, and his long legs flaunted his black pants. He had his jacket sleeves rolled up, which exposed two silver bracelets around his wrists.His well-groomed jet dark hair accentuated his chiselled cheekbones and jawline, while his piercing blue eyes searched the area with intent. From his physique, one would know he was a young man who should be in his early thirties.His phone soon buzzed, and he picked it up,"Hello?""Yes, I'm in. Don't worry, trust me, nothing will go wrong, I assure you.""I'll keep you posted."With this, he ended the call and swiftly put it in silent mode and slid it into his pocket.He walked briskly through the dimly lit corridors of the VVIP floor of the hospital, his footsteps muffled by the thick carpeting. He kept to the shadows, darting from one corner to another as he searched f

    "I said, who the hell are you and who sent you?" Sorin asked again, as he shook the intruder roughly when he refused to answer him the first time.Kelvin immediately rushed to them because he knew what Sorin could do to the young man at that moment. He was very furious and it was extremely obvious. If he had a gun at that moment, the possibility of him killing the young man would be really high.The fact that he almost lost his parents to the unfortunate accident and now, someone was trying to attack them while he was there was the height of it. He was on the verge of losing it! And before he did something that would not be good for his image, Kelvin immediately stepped in."Sir, please." Kelvin pleaded."Please sir, I'll handle it. Please sir, just let go of him." Kelvin begged Sorin, whose grip on the young man tightened the more."Son, please let him go. Don't hurt him, please. Do this for me, huh?" His mother pleaded with him, but every plea fell on deaf ears as he was determined

    I froze for a few minutes, as I began to rethink my life. "What could be going on?" I asked myself.I began to wonder what crashed and why there were a lot of footsteps going to and fro at that time of the day. I was so sure it wasn't one person walking around.I finally summoned courage and dragged myself out of bed, although my heart was still beating really fast out of fear.As I walked down the stairs, I saw what was going on. The maids were doing a thorough cleaning of the house. With the way they were cleaning every corner, every nook and cranny of the whole house, one would think there had been no inhabitants in the house for several years.I finally got down the stairs and tried to find answers to everything that was going on, but unfortunately, I couldn't find any answers, because these workers have been in the house since we were back at the hospital and they had been cleaning and tidying the whole house, that you could never find a speck of dust anywhere. So, I could not u

    "The interview is tomorrow. What do you wanna wear, baby girl?" Anne asked herself.She hummed her favourite song happily, as she went through her mini wardrobe, in search of a perfect outfit to wear to her interview the following day."This isn't bad." She said, holding out a red fitted gown."This isn't bad either." She said, as she held another dress out. It was a black dress with a white pattern drawn beautifully on it.She held both dresses out in her hands, confused about which one to pick.She suddenly threw the red dress on the bed,"It's just an interview, not a party. Get yourself together, Anne!" She squealed.She then stared satisfactorily at the black dress."Yes, this is just perfect." She said, confidently, and went ahead to hang it very close to her bedside."Now, I'm going to set my alarm for 5am, so I can wake up very early and be prepared way before the time. I think that will save me the stress of rushing out and messing my day up." She spoke to herself."I need to

    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….

    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
