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

    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…. Why?” I managed to stutter after finding

    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

    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

    “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

    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

    “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

    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

    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

    “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
