"You witch! You slut!" Daisy almost screamed her lungs out.Seeing us in each other's embrace, Daisy screamed at the top of her voice, like she had just seen a ghost. Her face was twisted in anger and hurt as she charged towards us, well, towards me actually, like an angry bull. Thanks to Kelvin, who immediately sprung into action, holding her firmly, and preventing her from touching me. "Leave me alone! Let me go! Let me show this little witch the stuff I'm made of." She kept yelling."You think you can take what is mine from me? Never! It won't happen. I will never let it happen. I'll show you who I truly am and what I am capable of doing!" She shouted, as she tried to attack me again but this time Kelvin had to lift her while her legs kept kicking the air violently.If I wasn't the one who was about to be attacked, I would have been laughing because it was such a funny sight but it was impossible for me to laugh at that moment because I would have been battered by Daisy.Although
"And you, son, I'm highly disappointed in you. I can't believe this. I mean, to think that we rushed here for a different reason, only to be met by this act of nonsense is bizarre to me." Mr Zaveri turned to look at Sorin as he spoke to him, obviously irritated by his son's actions."How could you embarrass us like this?" He added."Father, I have done nothing wrong.""Another word from you and you'll doubt if I am your father!" He threatened, and Sorin kept quiet.Suddenly, Daisy burst into fake tears, pretending like she is hurt to gain favour."I don't know what I've done to you guys that you hate me so much, when it is obvious that your son loves me and not that cheap thrash you got for him as a wife." She said with disgust.Her words just added more fuel to the fire that was already on ground.Angry, Mr Zaveri turned to look at her and she immediately looked away."What are you still doing here? Please leave this place before I lose my temper!" He yelled at her."No matter what y
On the drive back home, Daisy was lost in thoughts. Although disappointed and hurt, she still wished she had bridled her tongue and not spoken to Sorin's parents the way she did."Damn! Haven't I just ruined my chances with Sorin with what I just did!" She muttered."All this is because of that useless girl. I'll make sure to deal with her later when I've gotten what is rightfully mine!" She said."Are you talking to me, ma'am?" The driver suddenly asked when he heard her talking, and seeing as there was no one else in the car aside the both of them, he thought she was talking to him."Did you hear me call you?" She asked rudely."I'm so sorry, ma'am." He immediately apologized and she hissed."Maybe I shouldn't have gone there in the first place." She muttered once again, biting her fingers."But I needed to see him because I had to tell him about it." She said to herself as she began to remember the reason she had visited Sorin unannounced.**FLASHBACK**"Get in." Daisy ordered Soni
**END OF FLASHBACK**I was shocked to see Sorin's mother in the room, so I stood up and began to stutter."Hi ma'am. Wel....come.... Sorry... I didn't mean.....to" Everything I kept saying made no sense and I knew. She knew I was startled and just smiled as she walked up to me. She held my hand to calm me down, while still smiling."Calm down, child. Calm down." She said to me."Take a deep breath." She added and I obeyed and this made me much better."Good day, ma'am." I greeted her, after I had managed to gather the right words."How are you doing, child?" She asked."I'm fine, thank you ma." I responded respectfully and she sighed."You're fine? Really?" She asked, trying to get me to spill whatever it was that was bothering me."Yes, ma'am." I answered."But you just wanted the world to end right before I stepped in, right?" She said and I was thrown off balance once again."Yes.....No! I mean "No"." I closed my eyes as I realized I had started spewing nonsense once again."I didn
"What do you mean by that? Weren't you planning to come?" Mr Zaveri asked but before I could respond, Sorin spoke."Please pay her no mind, we will surely be there." He assured his parents."Okay, that's better. For a moment there, I was wondering what was going on." Mr Zaveri said again and I gave a weary smile."We will be on our way now and we will see you next week, right?" Mrs Zaveri asked, to be sure."Definitely." Sorin responded."Okay then. Bye." They bid us farewell but not without Sorin's mum turning back to look at me while mouthing "Make sure you call me if anything comes up" and I just nodded with a slight smile.As they were out of sight, I made for the room but before I could take a couple of steps, Sorin's voice stopped me."And where do you think you are going?" He asked."The room, is there any problem?" I asked as I turned to look at him."Of course there is a problem." He said, "What is the meaning of the stunt you were trying to pull there?" He asked me but I did
The sun's bright rays pierced through the open curtains of the windows of Anne's room, shining right into her eyes. She squinted her eyes as its rays played with her eyes and she woke up, yawning."It's another day already! Gosh!" She exclaimed as the thought of going to work hit her."I thought I would be happy with this job, I mean, it's my dream job but trust that devil, Jake, to ruin it all." She complained, "It seems like he will stop at nothing to steal my joy."Her happiness when she got the message of the interview, compared to now that she had gotten the job was nowhere to be found, that happiness had gone with the wind and all that was left now was heartache. She had thought getting her dream job would be like a dream come true for her but before she could be too happy, the turn of events had hit her badly. Not only was she going to be working for Jake, but she was also forcefully indebted to him and there was no way of escape. She had called in sick in the last two days, a
Finally, the day I was going to be meeting Sorin's parents and G.P Zaveri had come. It seemed like the days went by faster than normal. The dinner was slated to hold by 7:30pm but we had to leave earlier than the time because G.P Zaveri has been said to hate lateness more than anything. So, arriving late was something I was trying to avoid which was why I had started trying to get ready since 4pm, coupled with the fact that I truly had no idea of what to do to my face, especially with the different makeup products that were lying freely in front of me, on top of my vanity.I wasn't the type to make myself up or make any extra effort to look good because I hardly left the house except when I was still going to school. I alsoI wasn't used to going to dinners or meeting important people, especially someone of high calibre like G.P Zaveri, as he was fondly called by family. I had never met him and so, I was terribly nervous.Sorin was somewhere else, probably in his study, getting ready
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
“Yes.” Sorin looked up at her. “What is going on? Why are you yelling?” He asked, a bit irritated.“Really? Why am I yelling? Is that all you're going to say to me?” She inquired, with a frown.Sorin’s eyes narrowed in confusion. “I don't understand. What should I have said?”She hissed. “I've been talking to you here, but you've been ignoring me because you're focused on something else.” She complained, getting upset. “Are you mad at me?” She asked him.“No.” He answered coldly, not totally paying attention to her.She turned away from the mirror and faced him. “Is your laptop your girlfriend now? Is it more important than I am to you?” She asked, curiously.He leaned backwards, on the headboard, staring at her. “Daisy, please, don't even start now…”“What is it? I'm not wrong now, am I?” She snapped at him.“Fine! I'm sorry. I apologize for not paying attention to you. But honestly, I really didn't hear you.” He quickly apologized, not wanting her to suspect anything.“Why? Because
FOUR WEEKS LATERLOS ANGELES Daisy slowly walked out of the bathroom, her bathrobe snuggled around her body. She gently settled into the white stool at her vanity, the soft cushion, giving her the needed comfort. She stared at Sorin through the mirror, and as her gaze remained on him, and his eyes fixated on his laptop screen, a sly smile spread across her face.“Finally, I have him all to myself.” She thought to herself, her smile broadening.Sorin looked up from his laptop. “You're finally done. I thought you weren't going to come out of the bathroom till tomorrow.” He said, jokingly and she chuckled.“Well, you know how I love my beauty baths.” She commented proudly.His head snapped backwards. “Beauty baths? What does that even mean? He frowned, playfully rolling his eyes.“How do you think I keep my whole body looking this fresh and hot?” She continued.Sorin furrowed his brows.She scoffed, shaking her head. “I don't blame you. You can't understand.”“I agree. I can NEVER unde
“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
