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
He could not find the right words to defend himself and so, he was caught unaware. He never would have thought that he would ever be in a situation where it would be hard to save himself. "Why aren't you responding?" Kelvin asked him, but he was still quiet.""Oh!" Kelvin exclaimed as the realization hit him. "You love her, don't you?"Sorin raised his eyebrows to look at Kelvin. "Love who?" He asked, "You must be out of your mind to think that." He coughed dryly as he spoke and got up to get a bottle of water from his mini refrigerator.As he gulped down the water, he hoped in his heart that Kelvin was going to change the topic and say something else, but he didn't."Are you going to keep drinking the water?" Kelvin said, teasing him, and he immediately dropped the bottle on his table and resumed his seat."So tell me, you love her, don't you?" Kelvin began again."Can you get serious for once! I just told you that isn't the case." He responded."Then what is it? And what was that b
"Ma'am, how do you feel now? Do you feel any better?" Rose asked Sonia immediately she noticed that she finally opened her eyes and she responded with a weak nod."You've been unconscious for a few days, since your surgery." Rose explained.Sonia tried to sit up but squinted her eyes as she felt a wince of pain from the site of her surgery. Immediately, Rose ran to her side to stop her."I don't think you can do that yet, sitting up is definitely a very bad idea." Rose said, and helped Sonia to lay back on the bed. "The doctor also says you should not stress yourself yet.""What about Miss Daisy?" Sonia asked weakly."She should be at home, I guess. I'm not really sure." Rose responded, truly unsure of Daisy's whereabouts."What do you mean by that? Why are you not sure?" Sonia asked, concerned."Well, I've been here at the hospital for a few days now, that's why I didn't know.""So you mean you've not gone home in days?" Sonia asked with her eyes wide open in surprise."Yes, ma'am."
"Damn! I've been found out! My cover is blown!" Sonia thought to herself."Where are you going?" The voice asked her but she didn't answer."Can you not hear me? I just asked you a simple question! Why are you acting mute? I'm very sure you can hear me." He said to her but her back was still turned to him and she refused to speak a word."Kindly turn your face towards me, right now before I call the security." He said, to the shock of Sonia."Security? What have I done wrong? Why would he call the security? I can't let this happen, the best thing is to just face him right now." Sonia thought to herself, feeling helpless.Soon, she slowly began to turn to face the pers who had been talking to her but immediately she faced him, his eyes widened and he yelled."Oh no! Oh my God! I'm so sorry." He immediately began to apologize as soon as he saw Sonia's face."I'm such a fool. I apologize for my lack of appropriate investigation before yelling at you like you were a criminal. I'm so sorry
“Wow! Thank goodness! Where did you find her?” He asked as he turned towards them.“She was hiding in one of the empty rooms, sir. She didn't know we were going to come into that particular room and so we found her there.” One of the two men replied.“That's great news. Welldone to both of you.” He commended them. “Where is she now?” He asked.“She's at the security quarters, sir.” The first young man answered.“Alright then.” He said calmly.“We just came to inform you and ask if she is going to be handed over to the police.” The second young man replied.“Oh no, not yet. We need to ask her a few questions first. Her responses will determine if she will be handed over to the police or not.” He said immediately.“Although, we've asked her a few questions, sir.“Oh! That's good. Were you able to get any relevant piece of information from her?”“Yes sir. She explained amidst sobs that she had to resort to stealing the drugs because of her ailing mother.”“She said her mother had been si
