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.

    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

    "Who is there?" I asked weakly as I opened my eyes.I began to scan the room, looking around like I was lost, confused as to where I was at the moment "It is Kelvin, ma'am." He responded from outside the living room and at that moment, it was as if my brain had stopped working."What is going on?" I asked myself, without a certain or meaningful answer. I was just happily married to Sorin some moments ago, what was I doing in this dark room, was one of the many questions I was trying to ask myself. The fact that I let all the curtains down and turned off the lights weren't helping at all because it just helped to cloud my already hazy memory the more.I thought for a moment and soon I realized what was going on, it was also as if my memory had just returned to me after a long break."Ma'am, are you alright?" Kelvin asked, trying his luck since I remained quiet after he said he was the one at the door.This time, I recognised his voice instantly. It just dawned on me that I had been s

    “Ma'am?” Kelvin rushed in too. “Oh my goodness!” He exclaimed.“Call the doctor, immediately. “ Anne yelled, panicking. Kelvin immediately took his phone, and swiftly speed-dialled the doctor. “Hello Doctor. It's an emergency. Please come by the—”“I’m not dead….” I weakly spoke up, stopping him mid-sentence.“Oh my goodness.” Anne sighed in relief, her eyes welling up with tears.Kelvin was also relieved to see that I was fine. I saw relief evident on his face.Although I spoke weakly, at least it gave them the reassurance that I wasn't unconscious, or dead, maybe.“What is going on? Is there an emergency?” I heard the doctor's voice faintly from Kelvin's phone.He immediately checked his phone and realized the doctor was still on the call. “It's nothing, Doctor. Don't bother. Bye for now.” He quickly spoke into the receiver and ended the call.“You scared me.” Anne said, wiping her tears as she helped me sit up.“I know, and I'm sorry.” I apologized, my voice a bit inaudible.“You

    “Mr Zaveri has left already.” Kelvin reiterated, making it clear to Anne that Sorin wasn't around, and her outburst was basically going to be pointless.“Geez!!!” Anne slowly dropped to the ground once again.“So he was in a hurry to leave right after serving her divorce papers? How much more insensitive could he be.” She said, her tone filled with disappointment.“Actually, we had a heated argument. A bit of an angry back and forth. I guess that was what made him pack up and leave earlier than he was supposed to.” Kelvin explained, but Anne shook her head.“That’s not an excuse, Kelvin. He is just wicked and insensitive. That's all I can say.”She turned to look at him again and at that moment, it clicked. Kelvin's busted lip was as a result of his argument with Sorin.She swiftly got up. “He did this to you, didn't he?” She asked him, her tone filled with both curiosity and certainty.He maintained a blank expression. “Anne, it's nothing.”“That's not what I'm asking you, Kelvin.” S

    “I’m so sorry.” Anne quickly apologized with a bow.And without waiting to see who it was, off she went again, running with a sense of urgency. As she got to the road, she raised her hand, hurriedly hailing a taxi.Just as the taxi stopped and she was about to get into it, Jake's car arrived, stopping a few metres away from them. And as soon as he saw her, he immediately noticed that she looked distraught.“Isn't that Anne?” He asked Terry, who also tried to confirm if it was truly her.“It appears so, sir.” Terry replied, and Jake frowned.“It appears so? Or she is the one? Which is it?” Jake asked, visibly upset by Terry's choice of words.“I'm sorry, sir. She is the one.” Terry apologized, correcting himself.“Where could she be going in such a hurry?” He asked, out loud.“I have no idea, sir. Do you want me to find out?” Terry asked him.“Yes, find out.” Jake answered sharply.Just as Terry took out his phone to make a call, Anne's taxi began to leave.“You know what? Forget it. F

    Sorin leaned his back against the door, his head resting on the cool wood of the door, wearily. The sound of my muffled sobs as I cried my heart out, seeped through the door, a haunting reminder of the pain he had just caused me. He closed his eyes as the weight of his decision crushed him. Guilt tore through his heart, as he kept wondering if he had done the right thing.“So you think you just did the right thing?” Kelvin's voice snapped him back to normalcy.He had been so lost in his thoughts that he didn't hear Kelvin approaching him.Seeing Kelvin standing right in front of him, he cleared his throat and remained silent right after.“You're not saying anything, Sorin.” Kelvin stated, waiting for a response from him. “I hope you're happy now.” He said, his tone laced with criticism.Knowing that Kelvin was about to begin to lecture him about what he had just done, Sorin immediately turned around, and headed towards the bedroom. Kelvin refused to back down. “Really? You're just g

    FIVE MONTHS LATER “Sign it…” Sorin tossed a bunch of documents towards me.“What is it?” I asked, picking up the documents from the table, but I didn't get a response.As I began to read the contents of the documents, I couldn't believe my eyes. I stared shockingly at the documents in my trembling hands, as Sorin's voice re-echoed in my ears, in the silence of his study.I couldn't believe what I was seeing. It felt like I was having a very bad dream. A dream I wanted to wake up from so badly.He had told me to come to his study that morning because we needed to talk about some important things. I had been so excited, thinking we were finally making some progress in maybe fixing our rocky marriage, but never did I imagine that I would be staring at such heartbreaking papers.“These are divorce papers.” I said, hoping that it was a mistake or some stunt he was trying to pull.“Yes, I know. I have signed my own part of it. You should sign yours.” He answered sharply, his eyes fixated o

    “Anne?” I managed to mutter as soon as I found my voice.“Is… is this really you?” I stuttered, not sure if I was seeing the right person.Actually only Anne could have recognized me with all my disguise as she was one of the very few people who called me “Drea”.“Yes, it's me. Oh my goodness, I can't believe this.” She responded happily, her eyes welling up with tears.Before I could even say anything, she rushed towards me, and we collapsed into a tearful hug, the emotions of our reunion overwhelming us both.“I'm so speechless right now. I don't even know what to say. I don’t know how to react. I came here to get something for the house.” I said, pulling down my hoodie.“Me too…” Anne replied, wiping her tears. “I needed to get some things urgently, that was why I came here. I never would have imagined that I would meet you here.”Apparently, she had also come to get new glassware products for her kitchen to replace the ones that broke the previous night. The song I was humming was

    "A plan?” Kelvin asked, surprised.“Yes. I'll go incognito,” I said, a sly grin spreading across my face. “No one will even recognize me.”“Are you sure that will work?” He questioned, with an unsure look on his face.“Of course. Just make sure you don't follow me around so that it won't raise suspicions.” I said again. “You should dress the part too. If anyone identifies you, they'll surely know that something is fishy.”He sighed again. “No problem. I understand, ma'am.”“Thank you, Kelvin. I'll be down shortly.” I said and rushed upstairs to get prepared to leave for the hospital.I hurriedly took my bath and quickly got dressed, throwing on a pair of jean trousers, sneakers, and a black hooded sweatshirt. The large hoodie was the perfect addition to my disguise, and I deliberately chose it to help me blend in with the crowd and keep a low profile.We left the house and finally arrived at the hospital and of course, I didn't have to stand in line. I was attended to immediately.“S

    The next morning I slowly opened my eyes to the warm brightness of morning light shining in through the window. The melodic chirping of birds outside filled the air, and I stretched, yawning loudly. But as my jaw cracked open wide, I remembered that I wasn't alone in the room. I quickly slapped my hand over my mouth, because I knew how much Sorin hated disturbances, and I had no intention of testing his patience.I immediately turned to his side of the bed to see his reaction, but to my surprise, he was nowhere in sight.“Where could he have gone?” I thought to myself.I wasn't sure if he had headed to the office or he was in his study, because it was one of those types of days where he would decide to stay in his study throughout the day.“Sorin?” I called out to him, hoping to get a response, even though I knew it was highly unlikely.As expected, I got no response and I wasn't too surprised. I got up and headed to the bathroom. The door was wide open and so, I knew he definitely wa

    I heard Sorin's footsteps rushing out of the room, and heading towards me. I knew he must have heard the noise.Getting to where I was, and seeing that it was one of his favorite picture frames I had broken, he couldn't believe his eyes. “What the hell is this?” He yelled at me. “What exactly is wrong with you? Why are you such a clumsy girl? Why can't you just do anything right without causing chaos?”“I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to.” I immediately apologized.“That's what you always say. Yet you’ll do the same thing tomorrow.” He hissed in frustration.“I'm sorry…” I said again and crouched to the ground once again. “And what the hell do you think you're doing?” He asked, his eyebrows furrowed.“I want to clean it up right away.” I answered, trying to pick the broken pieces.My eyes remained fixed on him as I spoke to him to the point where I forgot what I was doing. And before he could warn me, I felt a sharp pain shoot through my already injured fingers.“Ouch!” I yelped, instin
