Chapter 85

last update Last Updated: 2024-08-06 23:08:48
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

    My father was in debt.Yes, he was a millionaire. He was.The house was enveloped in a tense tranquillity for the past few weeks. My father and mother were both busy discussing the debts in his study every day.While I, as usual, was inside my room all day, hardly going out. Not wanting to be a part of all this, not that they would include me. My father even stopped me from going to college. And even at the age of twenty, I was still living with my parents. I did hope to finish college and find a job and leave here but my plans were ruined.I wanted to leave here as soon as possible because they clearly didn't like me. I was just a burden to them. They made sure to keep reminding me of that.I was just a pathetic, crybaby. But I can't help but cry knowing I have no one in this world, I am all alone. Not even a single friend to comfort me.A few years back, I had Adrian, my bodyguard who soon turned into my first friend. He was really sweet to me, he understood me, and made me feel ha

    My eyes were bloodshot and puffy having cried almost the whole night. My hair was a mess, and my body looked weak, both mentally and physically. Overall, I looked like crap, not that I looked good anyway.I leaned my back against the bathtub, submerging my body in the warm water, drawing my legs closer to my body, and placing my chin on top of my knees.I contemplated several times whether I should stay here the whole day, in silence and peace instead of leaving this small space and facing the reality, facing the war my heart and mind are fighting, facing how much my own parents hate me that they decided to sell me in return for their company.The former sounded like a better option because I didn't have the courage to go out. I scoffed at how ironic my name was. It meant courage, I was supposed to be courageous, not a coward. I sometimes wonder who exactly named me that.Someone slammed their fist against the bathroom door. "Drea! Do you think you can hide in there all day, come out!

    How many times did I dream of this moment, how many times did I play it over and over again in my mind...Me walking down the aisle and the man I love, standing at the altar, waiting for me.Everything was the same, almost everything, except for my future husband who was staring at me with coldness in his eyes. It made my heart ache and tears welled up once again in my eyes. I was quick to blink them away before they cause any drama.The wedding ceremony passed in a blur and I dreaded going back to his house, to be there all alone with him. He clearly didn't like me, not that I expected him to.During the car ride back to his house he sat as far as he could from me in the backseat gazing out of the window in complete silence.I wanted to talk to him, a normal conversation but I didn't want to annoy him so I kept my mouth shut but I couldn't help but look at him, the side of his face as his head was turned towards the window probably to avoid looking at me.But that didn't stop me from

    I was still lost in my many thoughts when I drifted off to sleep on the couch in the main lounge. I guess I had been sleeping for hours because I didn't notice when someone walked in. I was awakened by the slam of the door and jerked up from my sleep in fear as I thought the house was about to be robbed. As a matter of fact, I had not gotten accustomed to the fact that I was already married and living with someone. And also, if not that I wasn't thinking straight, why would I think a Billionaire's house like Sorin's, was about to be robbed when there were numerous guards in the house. I began to hear different sounds coming from upstairs and I became more confused. I tip-toed into the store room and found a golf club. I picked it and started following the sound I was hearing, I was determined to strike but I was shaking at the same time. I mean, what could a frail young woman do to defend herself if situations come to the worst?As I made my way into the room, I heard a glass shatte

    "I wish I could lay my hands on that good for nothing girl! Urrrrgggggghhhh!!!! I sure would squeeze the living day out of her.""How could she do this? How foolish and clueless can she be!" Daisy Cole said angrily while pacing around her room."I really do not know why you would agree to such useless arrangement in the first place. Just look at you." She continued as she bent towards Sorin to check his wound which was now covered with a band-aid. Her beautiful black eyes travelled round his entire face to see if there was any other wound inflicted on her precious boyfriend, Sorin.Sorin tried to calm Daisy down and explain the whole situation to her but she wasn't having it. She was fuming in anger. Only if she could lay her hands on me at that moment, I'd be a dead and gone."Calm down, Daisy. You're just being unnecessarily dramatic." Sorin said to her.Daisy, shocked at Sorin's words, stopped to look at him,"Dramatic? Did you just say I am dramatic?""Yes, Daisy, you're just bei

    "Sir? Are you okay?" Kelvin asked his boss, as soon as he got into the car but got no response from him.He immediately knew something was wrong. Having been with him for years, he knew something must have happened for Sorin to walk into the car and slam the door the way he did. He also didn't wait for the car door to be opened for him before he entered the car.Getting no response from Sorin, he didn't want to ask too many questions so that he wouldn't anger him more.Sorin's phone began to ring but the moment he saw the caller ID, he silenced the phone and looked away.Kelvin peeped from the front seat and saw the caller too- It was Daisy. "Sir, your phone has been ringing. Aren't you going to pick it, sir? Kelvin asked, concerned because the phone kept ringing but Sorin wouldn't budge.Sorin raised his eyebrow and stared at Kelvin with utmost anger which made Kelvin look away immediately."Mind your business! If you know what is good for you, you'll drive this minute!" Sorin comma

    "Strange? What do you mean, Doctor?" Mum asked, not because she was concerned for my health but because she didn't want any of their plans disrupted."Is she going to die?" Dad asked the doctor which made the doctor turn to look at him in utter shock."What!?" The doctor almost screamed in shock."How could you say such things, sir." The doctor asked him. "If you're going to be this negative around my patient, please leave this room." The doctor added."We're so sorry Doctor, my husband was just worried for our daughter. It was just the wrong choice of words." Mum said, coming to the rescue once again."It's fine, I just do not like any negative utterances and actions around my patients, whether they are conscious or unconscious." The doctor explained further."I'm sorry, Doctor. It won't happen again." Dad said to the doctor."There's no problem." The Doctor replied after which, he picked up his stethoscope and checked my heart beat once again while my parents watched in anticipatio

    “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
