"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.

    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

    "Didn't you hear what I just said?" Sorin asked Kelvin when he noticed he didn't move after he had just ordered him to call the family Doctor.Well, one wouldn't blame Kelvin because I was also shocked at Sorin's action or should I call it Sorin's "sudden care", which made me wonder why he was always unstable with his emotions; one moment he is acting like he cares about me and the next minute, he is just like a wild animal seeking to devour me and won't hesitate to show his lack of interest in me."What exactly does he think of me? Why is his character always transforming and changing like a chameleon?" I thought to myself as I stared blankly at him."Is anyone going to answer me and do as I have said?" Sorin yelled again, his voice thundering and echoing through the room, making me shriek in fear Immediately, Kelvin stood up and speed dialled the family doctor's number, which was picked almost immediately."Hello, sir." The doctor said from the other end."Your attention is needed

    Sorin immediately turned to look at me. He had a shocked expression all over his face. Even Kelvin was dumbfounded, not to talk of the Doctor and the maids who were present."How could you say such thing?" Sorin asked as he tried to hide his shaking hands in his pockets, but not before I saw it.I didn't answer him, until the doctor spoke again after putting himself together."Why did you say that, madam?" He asked, moving closer to me. "Why would you want to die when you already have what other people might want to kill for?" He asked."Well, I'm not others." I answered sharply, like one who was fed up, because, of a truth, I was completely fed up."As a matter of fact, they can kill me for all of this." I added as I gestured with my hands. "That would be better, at least I'll rest in peace, away from all this." I began to sob.He paused for a while like he was in deep thoughts. He then sighed before he started speaking again."Can you excuse us?" He asked, facing the maids.They im

    Kelvin led Sorin, who was still visibly shaken by all that just happened in the room, out of the room and into his study. He immediately shut the door, locked it with the key and helped Sorin sit down in his seat.Sorin was in a vulnerable state and no one was allowed to see him that way. Never! Kelvin would never allow that. He had seen Sorin that way before but it was a long time ago when the unfortunate incident involving his sister happened and at that time it was really traumatic. It almost took the whole world to get him back to normalcy- it was really terrible back then but now it seemed like it was happening all over again.He turned to look at Sorin who was just staring at nothing in particular. It was obvious that he was far away. He had always been known to be strong and fierce but this side of him was hidden from everyone except his parents and Kelvin, who was his best friend, personal assistant and personal guard too, which explains why he knew what most people never knew

    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
