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

    I had taken my bath immediately after my discussion with Kelvin in the morning. I began to look for suitable clothes to wear, but to my frustration, I could not find any."Gosh! What do I wear now?" I asked myself as I stumped my feet on the ground in frustration. It was now almost the time I and Kelvin agreed upon to leave the house.I quickly picked up my jean trousers and t-shirt and put them on. I also had my long hair tied into a neat bun and wore one of my few sneakers. I accessed myself in the mirror and I was satisfied with my look."I guess this should do." I had said out loud as I looked at myself in the mirror once again.Although my parents were a bit rich, their wealth was nothing compared to the Zaveris- it could not come anywhere close. They wore good clothes but they didn't care much about what I wore or even if I had anything to wear. All they were after was themselves and themselves alone, which was the reason why i never went with them to important functions and ce

    Anne was on her knees, her hands were tied to her back with a zip tie, and she was blindfolded, so she had no idea of who kidnapped her or who was yelling at her."Please, if I offended you in any way. I'm so sorry, please forgive me." She pleaded."I said keep your damn mouth shut!" The voice shouted, throwing something against the wall, which made a loud clanging sound.Anne immediately kept quiet and stopped talking, but she kept sobbing quietly."How can this happen to me on the day I got my dream job." She thought to herself as she wept."I thought my suffering was finally going to come to an end. Oh no! Who did I offend?" She thought again.She was still thinking about what would become of her body if she was killed right there, when she heard some footsteps approaching from afar."Where is she?" A familiar voice asked."Right there, sir." Another voice, which seemed like his minion, responded."Has she said anything about the agreement?" The familiar voice asked."No sir. I hav

    As we stepped out of the car and began to walk into the house, the other guards saw us, and they immediately rushed to help out with everything Kelvin was helping me carry. "Welcome ma'am." They all said in unison."Thank you very much." I responded, with a smile.They led the way and I followed closely behind, but as we were about to step into the living room, I spotted Sorin in the living room and my heart skipped a beat.He stood with his back turned to us, his broad shoulders standing out and well-carved out in his clothes. He wore a knitted woolen peach round neck long-sleeves and black free trousers."Good day, sir. " They all chorused and bowed their heads.He suddenly turned around and began to stare at me. As he kept staring at me, the smile that was previously on my face immediately disappeared. "Good day." He responded to their greetings and they all left, except Kelvin who waited behind."Hi." I awkwardly uttered.He didn't respond and I didn't bother to say anything els

    "What is it? What did you just find out?" Sorin asked, impatiently, hoping to get immediate answers."So from the investigations so far, we have found out that there is a connection between the two incidents, sir." Kelvin explained."What!?" Sorin exclaimed. "You mean both incidents were planned by the same person?""Yes, that is exactly what we just found out," Kelvin said in agreement. "But that is not all." He added."Really? What else is there to know?" Sorin asked."We have reasons to believe that what happened to you at the hospital was also not just a coincidence. It seemed like it was intentional. But we are not sure who did it." Kelvin explained."I think you should be more careful now. Some sets of people are definitely after your life. You can't trust anyone now," Kelvin advised."Are you trying to say Daisy tried to kill me?" Sorin asked, taken aback as he stood up from his chair."Not exactly, but the possibility is high, sir." Kelvin replied."No way! I won't take that.

    I could not believe all I had heard. I felt like a piece of thrash, I felt rejected and forsaken. I felt so helpless. At that moment, I wished I could run away into the warm embrace of someone who would love me for who I am and not because they are forced to be with me.If my parents were good ones, I would have gone to them but I only knew that would make matters worse if I ever tried it. They would not hesitate to send me back to Sorin's house and add more pain to the one I was already feeling.My heart was so heavy, it felt like it was carrying a million pounds worth of load. It was aching so badly and I began to struggle to breathe properly. I soon began to shake and fell on my knees."What the hell are you doing here? Haven't I warned you to stay out of my business?" He asked, thundering at me."Why are you so bent on making both our lives frustrating and miserable?" He said again.I could not answer because the pain I was feeling was unexplainable.He picked up his phone and dia

    It wasn't up to an hour after Kelvin left me in the living room that he came back."Oh! You're back?" I exclaimed. "You left in a rush, I didn't know what was going on." I said to him."Yes, ma'am. I needed to take care of something very important. It could have made matters worse if it had not been taken care of." He explained."Oh... Okay." I uttered. "Hope it is sorted now?" I asked."Yes, it is." He answered."Alright." I said and went quiet.I noticed he had something in his hand but I didn't want to be too hasty, asking what it was. I wanted him to talk by himself."This is for you, ma'am." He said, as he handed the package over to me."What is that?" I asked, furrowing my forehead."I guess you have to find out for yourself, ma'am. Open it." He urged."Is it a bomb?" I asked jokingly."A bomb wouldn't be so light-weighted, would it?" He also said, jokingly."Well, that's true," I responded."Won't you tell me?" I asked again."It's a surprise for you, ma'am." He responded."Hmm

    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
