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
Seeing the fear in Anne's eyes, Jake let out hysterical laughter, leaving Anne totally confused and more scared."How can he be laughing in this kind of situation? Is he making jest of me?." Anne's heart began to race and beat faster.Tears soon began to well up in her eyes, but she tried as much as possible to fight it back and not let it escape her eyes."Just look at you." Jake began. "You're still as weak as you were back then." He said, as he stared intently and lustfully at her, as he was now standing just an inch away from her face, with both his hands on the wall, making it impossible for her to escape.She immediately swallowed hard and turned her face to the side. The first tear finally dropped, escaping her eyes as she began to remember all that had happened in the past. All the painful memories which she had tried so much and so hard to forget were now replaying so clearly in her memory, and this was, unfortunately, one of the reasons why we were no longer as close as we u
"Where could I have kept this phone? Oh no!" She said, as she kept searching for her old phone. She had kept it away for a long time, not because it truly was spoiled, but because it had so many secrets and evidence which she thought would be useful someday, in the future."It couldn't have gotten lost, it has to be here somewhere." She stopped her search for a while and began to think of possible places where she could have hidden it....I remained in the living room for hours after Sorin left the room. I had cried, I had prayed, in fact, I had wished for the ground to open and swallow me up. Or if it was possible for me to disappear without a trace. Like, I wanted to stop existing.I wished there was some sort of time machine that I could have used to turn back the hands of time. Or if there was a device I could use to dissipate and no one would know or realize that I was no longer with them and I would also be erased from their thoughts."No one would be affected if I died, any
