"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
I stared hopelessly at Sorin, who walked back into the bathroom, leaving me on the floor to pick myself up. A trickle of tears escaped my eyes, I soon began to cry, still sitting on the floor.Soon, I heard a knock on the door,"Ma'am? Are you alright?" The voice called out, from outside the room.I could not answer immediately because I didn't want the person to hear me crying.Excuse me, ma'am, are you in there?" The female voice asked again.I wiped my tears and cleared my throat before responding,"Yes, I am. I am fine too." I said in a rush because the tears were about to start flowing again."But you just screamed now. Are you sure you are fine?" The voice asked once again, to be sure I was truly fine."Yes, I am. Thank you." I answered."Okay, if you need anything, I'll be downstairs." She said and I heard her footsteps getting fainter by the second, signifying that she was walking away.The moment I didn't hear the footsteps anymore, I crawled to the bedside and curled myself
"Now, who is there at this time of the day?" Sorin asked."It's Kelvin, sir." The person responded."What is it?" Sorin inquired."I need to see you, sir." Kelvin answered."What for? Can't it wait till tomorrow?""I'm afraid sir, it can't."Wait for me in the study then. I'll be with you soon."Alright, sir." He said, as he walked away from the door, to Sorin's study....At the Zaveris' Mighty Mansion Sorin's parents; Mr and Mrs Zaveri, sat comfortably in their bedroom. One of the maids had just brought them some water and some fruits to snack on for the night. This had been a custom in their house for years. They always had some fruits and clean, clear water before bed."Just leave it over there and leave." Mrs Zaveri ordered, pointing at the marble stool beside the bed.The maid dropped it on the table."Is there anything else you'll be needing, ma'am?" The maid asked."No, that will be all for now." She answered the maid."Alright, ma'am. Alright sir." The maid replied and wal
