"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
“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
Taken aback, I instantly stepped back. Tongue tied and speechless, I stood there staring at him in confusion.“Have you suddenly gone deaf?” He yelled at me again. “I just asked you a question. What the hell do you think you're doing, hugging me like that? Since when did we get so affectionate? Huh?”I was completely confused and for a moment, I didn't understand what was going on. This was someone with whom we had a very beautiful time hours before, but it seemed like he had become someone else in just a matter of hours. Like he had become a completely different person.Finally able to find my voice, I began to speak, “I'm sorry. I didn't mean to offend you. I thought we were already getting along. I thought that we—”“You thought wrong!” He barked, and I shook with fear.“Or wait, let me get this straight. Is it because we went out together and the whole world now knows that you're a “WIFE” to me?” He stressed the word “wife” in such an uncomfortable manner, and I could see the irr
Sorin pulled up at the parking lot of one of the Cole’s detached mansions in a private estate. Daisy had sent him the details of her whereabouts earlier and asked him to meet with her there. Despite the fact that it was many miles away from the city, he still drove all the way down to meet her.He turned off the ignition, took a deep breath and stepped out of the car.“Welcome sir,” He was greeted by one of Daisy's guards.Sorin nodded in acknowledgement, and asked, “Where is she?”“She is inside. She is waiting for you in the living room.“Thank you.” He responded, and walked in briskly.Staring outside through the gigantic glass door, holding a cup of wine in her right hand, and folding her left hand against her chest, was Daisy.The moment she sensed Sorin's presence, she scoffed.“You said you wanted to see me and that it was urgent. What's up?” Sorin said, standing metres away from her.She remained in that same spot, saying nothing, making the both of them remain in an awkward s
“Somewhere quiet?” I asked, still surprised.“Yes, that's correct.” He responded with a smile.“Uhmm… I thought that—”“Nah…” He gently interrupted me. He then leaned forward, his eyes staring deep into mine, making my heart tighten in my chest. “You don't have to think about anything. Just follow my lead.”As I looked at him, my eyes fell on his lips once again. The soft curve of his lips as he smiled did something I couldn't explain to me. I could feel his warm breath on my skin and this also sent shivers down my spine. The air around us felt charged with tension.Every sound seemed amplified - the soft batting of his eyelids, the gentle rhythm of his breathing. Everything seemed to possess its own loud sound. Time also seemed to stop completely, and I felt like I was holding my breath, waiting for something to happen.In that moment, everything else faded into the background, and all I could focus on was him. It was like it was just us two in the whole world. I felt drawn to him,
Sorin was speechless. He just stared at Daisy without knowing what to say. Never in his wildest dreams did he think that she would show up all of a sudden, without informing him beforehand.He helplessly stared at her, wishing he could do something before she began to spew the wrong words, which would complicate matters further.He knew better than to scold her because that would cause a scene, and with the amount of reporters and cameras in their faces, that would be the craziest and most stupidest idea.I, on the other hand, stood there without knowing what to say. I was definitely confused. It was only a matter of minutes before Daisy let the cat out of the bag about her relationship with Sorin.“Hi Sorin.” She greeted him with a broad smile.“Daisy…” Sorin spoke nervously. “I didn't know you were coming. I mean, you didn't tell me you were coming. I didn't expect to see you here.” He said it all in a rush.“I know.” She still had her smile on. “I wanted to surprise you. I hope you
ZAS HOLDINGS “Good morning, everyone.” Anne happily greeted everyone as she walked into the office, but she got no response, which was very unusual.Her eyes scanned the room, and she soon noticed her colleagues, gathered together at a table, focused on something on another colleague's computer.“What are you guys so focused on?” She asked, loudly.“Shhhhh….” They all gestured for her to be quiet, and she held her breath.“What is going on?” She whispered to Isabella, who was also in the room.Isabella pulled her to the other side of the room. “Haven't you heard?” Anne furrowed her brows in confusion. “Heard what?”“Heard the latest news.” Isabella answered.“I'm not sure of what you're talking about. What is the latest news?” Anne asked further, looking confused still.“The latest news about Sorin Zaveri.” Isabella said, sharply. “How do you not know? Have you been living under a rock?” She rolled her eyes at her.“I'm sorry, but when it comes to social media. I'm not really curren
