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. She couldn't help but feel a bit intimidated by everything and everyone around her. The environment
Rose had gone to treat her wounds earlier but instead of going back to the house, she decided to stay until Sonia was awake before going back. She met Daisy in the waiting room and greeted her. Rose began to pace back and forth in the hospital waiting room, her heart pounding in her chest. She had never felt so helpless before. She wished she had been able to save Sonia from the attack of the intruder but both of them didn't see it coming and we're both helpless. They could never have imagined that the young man could have had a hidden weapon with him."You should go home to rest if you can't stop pacing. You are disturbing me with all that back and forth, I'm trying to think here." Daisy said to her, staring at the wall with her leg crossed over the other. She couldn't believe that someone had managed to get past her security and harm someone in her house."I'm fine, ma'am, I can rest later, but I would like to wait till Miss Sonia is awake." Rose replied."Okay, no problem then." D
"How is this possible? How can this be happening at this moment? This is someone I have not seen in so many years. How can he be here right now?" Anne began to ask herself, while also looking confused."Maybe it's just a mistake, maybe he is just related to the CEO. Yes! That's what it will possibly be." Anne thought to herself, staring blankly at the wall beside her.Anne found it hard to believe the young man before her in the CEO's seat was that same Jake she knew long before that day. She found it hard to believe that he could be the CEO of ZAS HOLDINGS. She just could not imagine.Bringing her out of her misery, Jake cleared his throat loudly, calling her attention to him immediately. She hastily composed herself.Finally getting her attention, they began to speak in hushed tones, trying to deliberate, leaving Anne confused.She could have sworn right there and then that she would never get the job because all hopes of getting that job flew out the window the moment Jake walked i
"Is anything the matter, sir?" Anne asked him, after turning to look at him.He paused for a while before he responded to her."Not exactly. You just need to sign some documents before you leave. You can't just leave like that when you are going to start work tomorrow morning.""What documents?" Anne asked."Just some documents of agreement. Also, you need to fill in your payment information in one of those documents." He explained further.Anne looked confused as he spoke because she was not sure what he meant by all that he was saying. She had never gotten such an official job before in her entire life, so she didn't know what he meant."I'm sorry, Sir. What do you mean by my payment information?" Anne asked, confused.The man looked at her speechless. He turned to the others and they were speechless as well."Have you ever had a job before?" He asked her."I have." She responded."So, how come you do not know what I mean by your payment information?" He inquired."Honestly, I have
