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

    Daisy paced in the waiting area of the hospital. Her arms folded against her chest as she gritted her teeth. One of her guards, Rose, ran towards her with a flash drive and a laptop.She stared intently at her as soon as she arrived and said,"Why are you just coming? What took you so long?"' She thundered at the guard."I'm so sorry ma." He apologized.Daisy's eyes soon travelled around her face and in the corner of Rose's lip, she saw a cut and a blood stain. She also noticed that her face had scratch signs.Rose hastily tried to cover it but it was too late because Daisy had seen it."What happened to you too? Why does your face look this way? And what is this cut on your lip?" Daisy asked, pointing at the guard's mouth."It is nothing too serious, ma'am. I was with Miss Sonia when the whole issue happened. We were both attacked." Rose began."What? You mean you were there? And you couldn't help her? What rubbish are you spewing from your mouth?" Daisy began to ask, raising her voi

    "Pa Zaveri, sir." Kelvin replied."Damn!" Sorin began to pace around in his study."These people know what they are doing. I don't know what they are up to, but I know whatever it is they are up to is of no good. They know I will never refuse if G.P is involved." He said, as he kept walking back and forth in an unsettled state."Were you planning not to attend before?" Kelvin asked him and Sorin stopped pacing to stare hardly at him."Get out right now!" He barked at Kelvin."Alright sir, I'm sorry, sir." Kelvin apologized and walked out of the study.Sorin rested his back against the wall and began to think of various ways to avoid going to his parent's house with me."All this is because of this crazy girl!" He yelled, kicking his foot in the air.He thought about calling his parents to convince them to change their mind. "Those people won't answer me." He said aloud. "But I'll call anyway." He said after thinking about it for a little while.He looked around in search of his phone

    I could have sworn that I didn't hear what he said clearly. I wasn't sure of what I heard."I'm sorry, what?" I asked, puzzled. "Have you suddenly gone deaf?" He shouted at me."I'm sorry, I didn't understand what you said earlier." I responded."What is it you don't understand? There is nothing difficult in the statement I just made.""Look, I have had a long day. Do not add to my stress! Goodnight!" He said, as he dragged the duvet over his head.I wanted to say something but I decided to keep quiet, seeing that he had already covered his face with the duvet, meaning that he didn't want to talk to me anymore.I was confused, I didn't know why he was always mad at me and I didn't have to do anything before he flipped out on me. One moment, he is looking at me with warmth in his eyes and the next moment, he is looking at me coldly, like he is about to strangle me to death."God! Help me, please. This is too much for me to bear." I muttered.I didn't think about sleeping in the same b

    Shocked at his statement, I opened my mouth,"What do you mean by that?" I asked him."I thought you died in your sleep." He snapped at me.I stared at him in utter disbelief,"Why would you say such a thing?" I asked, pained at the hurtful words he was saying to me."If it was not that you had died in your sleep, how would you explain this." He asked me, pointing at the dismantled alarm clock on the floor.It was then that I realized what was going on and why he was being so dramatic. I had set the alarm but I didn't hear it ring and it woke him up instead, leaving him so cranky and angry."I'm sorry, I didn't know that the alarm was still set for 4am." I apologized."You knew you were a heavy and deep sleeper. Why did you set the alarm in the first place? You're just intentionally insensitive." He declared."What!" I yelled. "I'm insensitive? Really?" I asked, confused."Of course! That's what you are!" He shouted at me."Let this be the last time you'll ever try this rubbish! Let t

    "No way!" She screamed."Not today of all days. This is my best outfit! Gosh!" She said, stomping her feet on the ground.She immediately ran to the mirror to check how bad it was, but luckily, it was just a little rip."Oh! It's not that bad." She said to herself.Immediately, she pulled it off. She swiftly got a needle and thread, which she always had in the house in case of any emergency wardrobe malfunctions.She threaded the needle in no time and quickly patched her clothes. Once she was done, she checked it out to see how it looked."Thank God!" She said. "It's not too obvious, it actually looks like a different design." She stated."Girl! You're still very smart." She squealed in excitement and smiled brightly."I'm proud of myself!" She exclaimed.She quickly put her dress on once again, but this time around, she was more careful to avoid any more malfunctions. She picked up her black wrist watch from her dressing table and strapped it to her left arm.She picked up her black

    "Just leave me the hell alone! Stay out of my way and stay out of my business!" Sorin yelled at me and I closed my eyes.I still had my eyes closed when I noticed he wasn't talking anymore. The loud sound of the door after he jammed it made me shake and open my eyes, only for me to realize that he had walked out of the room.I fell to the ground in a crouching position, staring blankly at the dismantled alarm clock. I wanted to leave the room but I was scared. I didn't want to run into Sorin because it would definitely not be a fun scene. So, I thought avoiding him would be the solution. I soon began to soliloquize."When he wakes up, I'll remain in bed. When he dresses up, I'll not look at him. When he leaves the room, I'll remain in the room, but when he comes back into the room, I'll leave the room. That way, I'll be able to avoid getting into trouble with him."Another round of thoughts soon filled my head."But I'm married to him!" I said out loud, sitting on the ground and kicki

    Anne was immediately stuck to her chair when she saw the lady who was approaching her and was walking with so much confidence. She was dumbfounded as she looked at her.The woman was tall and elegant, with long, flowing hair that cascaded down her back in waves of deep brown. Her eyes glittered like emeralds, and her smile could light up the entire room. She wore a black gown, with silver heels which she walked graciously in. Her fingernails and toenails were neatly painted and polished with white nail polish and this complemented her whole dress.As the woman approached her, Anne couldn't help but feel a pang of nervousness. She had never seen someone so effortlessly beautiful and confident before."Anne Jones, right?" She asked, confirming that she was talking to the right person."Yes, ma'am," Anne responded.Anne nervously fidgeted with her resume as she spoke to the gorgeous lady.

    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
