"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
I pulled away from Kelvin immediately or should I say, I flew away from Kelvin the moment I heard Sorin's voice. I immediately looked at him and saw him staring angrily at us. If I didn't know better, I would have thought he was jealous, but I was sure he wasn't because this was someone who didn't want to have anything to do with me, so why would he be jealous? There was no reason for him to be, but one thing I was sure of was that he was shocked. I was very sure that it caught him by surprise.I began to shiver like I had been doused with icy-cold water. I didn't know what to say to him or how to defend myself. Kelvin, knowing Sorin very well, didn't say anything either. Hence, there was an awkward silence in the room. I knew that whatever I wanted to say at that moment would only annoy him more than he was already, and I didn't want that. My heart could not take any more lashing out from him. I began to think of what to say to escape the awkward silence. I was also worried about Kel
