The Billionaire's Proposal Chapter 9
There's been a very serious car accident, sir." He was finally able to say after pausing for a while to catch his breath and compose himself."Who was involved? That girl?" He asked."I'm afraid… She isn't the one sir." He answered."Then who? And if she wasn't the one, why were you planning to kill us?" He asked him further."Mr and Mrs Zaveri, sir. Your parents." He finally said, after garnering a lot of courage."What!?" How come? How? Where? When? Both of them? Are they injured? Is it very bad?" He kept questioning Kelvin as he began to shake like a lone leaf on a stream of water."I'm yet to get the full information, sir but they are at the New Gen Hospital. Damn! I think they were the ones who were rushed into the hospital when we were leaving. I'm going to turn right back now." He kept talking but got no response."They'll be fine. I hope they will be fine." He kept reassuring Sorin."I can't lose them too. No way! Please stay alive for me. Don't leave me alone. Please." Sorin

I heard rushed footsteps coming towards the door of my room and in the twinkling of an eye, different doctors and nurses walked into my room, in a single file. All of the doctors wore white coats over their blue scrubs and they had their stethoscopes with them while the nurses only wore light blue scrubs.Apparently, the Doctor who came to check me was the renowned Doctor Matthew Kent; the Chief Medical Director and the Head of all the other doctors in the Hospital. Little wonder why they all came in their numbers immediately he called. He was also the most skilled surgeon in the hospital and mostly attended to patients in the VIP rooms. It was like he was created just for the main purpose of being a surgeon because he didn't have to stress too much, all he had to do was check the patients' files, check the patients' symptoms and give a diagnosis and after various tests were carried out on such patients, he was always correct and the others felt he was too proud. This made him also g

Anne sat on the edge of the small bed in her small room, she felt uneasy, it was like something was wrong but she could not figure it out yet. She had just gotten back from work and she was tired but the way she was feeling, overshadowed the tiredness. She began to bite her nails and tap her feet continuously on the rug in her room, while the fingers on her other hand kept tapping her knee at the same time. This, she always did whenever she was anxious and needed to figure her thoughts out."Why do I feel so uneasy?" She asked herself, as she began to drown herself in different thoughts.Anne Jones; my best friend, we met in college and we were roommates, well, that was before I dropped out of college since my parents could no longer sponsor my education and they ordered me to stop, due to reasons best known to them. They claimed they had no money anymore but I knew that was all a lie, they just had other plans up their sleeves. Anne was not from a wealthy family but they were comfor

Missing? What do you mean she is missing?" Kelvin questioned."Have you gone nuts!? He said, angrily raising his voice, making the few patients that were present look at him in a weird way.He immediately realised and remembered that he was still in the hospital and so he held the phone away from his ear and quickly walked out. He found his way into the garden in the hospital premises but far away from the wards.As soon as he was away from the piercing eyes of the people around him, he continued his conversation on the phone."What nonsense are you saying? Are you saying you can't do a freaking minor job!?" Kelvin furiously asked."I'm sorry, sir. I don't know how it happened." Paul, one of Sorin's many guards, responded to his superior, Kelvin."How can you say you don't know how it happened? Where were you?" Kelvin asked him further."I was in the hospital, sir." Paul responded."So she disappeared or grew wings and flew away." Kelvin asked."You were supposed to keep an eye on her

It was a warm summer evening, and the sun had just set, leaving the sky bathed in a warm orange glow. John Richardson sat on the chair and stared at the large wall clock in his study.The study was a vast, elegant space with high ceilings, big windows, and furniture that was designed specifically for it. It had a large fireplace, beautiful chandeliers, and detailed mouldings. The walls were adorned with priceless artwork, antique maps, and rare books.At one end of the study, there was a well-stocked bar, complete with premium liquors, vintage wines, and rare whiskies, including the red wine belonging to the Zaveris company. Also, there was a humidor stocked with the finest, priciest and rarest cigars.And at the other end of the study, there was a private library, with shelves lined with leather-bound books and first editions. The collection of books ranged from classic literature to modern business books and biographies of other successful people.The massive desk, which was crafte

The elevator was a few floors away from the ground floor when it stopped to pick up some other people and at that moment my heart began to beat faster than normal. I was scared that my cover would be blown and I might be caught by one of Sorin's guards since they always worked undercover and they were always anywhere he was. Since I had seen one of them upstairs, I knew that there would definitely be more of them around the hospital but I was hoping not to run into any one.As the doors opened, I pulled my hood over my head once again, while using my hand to hold it over my face to prevent my face from being seen. A few medical workers walked in and thankfully, they paid me no mind. They immediately continued gisting as soon as they got in and the doors closed. I guess they had been discussing right before they got in and so, decided to continue with their discussion like I was invisible."Jane, have you heard?" One of them, who I found out was Sarah, asked."Heard what?" Jane respon

Few Hours earlier at Daisy House Daisy Cole sat majestically in one of the chairs in her room while scrolling through her phone and snacking on some cookies and some red wine. The red wine was the one belonging to the Zaveris. She was one of the few people who could afford such exotic and expensive wine and it was the best wine, so why not?"Since Sorin is still angry and has refused to pick my calls, I might as well just chill and enjoy myself." She said to herself."I didn't really do anything wrong, did I?" She asked herself."I didn't …Whatever!" She answered herself."I'm sure he'll come around soon and will come back to me. After all, he is all mine." She said to herself once again and chuckled.She was still scrolling through her phone when one of her guards, Sonia, came and stood by her door."May I come in ma'am?" Sonia asked."Yeah." Daisy responded and Sonia smartly walked in."What is it? Is there anything I should know?" Daisy asked her."Yes ma'am." Sonia answered but w

Hearing "I'm sorry" from a doctor has to be anyone's worst nightmare, especially for someone whose loved one is in a critical condition. Most times, it could only mean one thing - "we tried our very best but we lost him or her." So immediately the Doctor said "I'm so sorry", we all had almost the same expressions, our mouths were wide open because we screamed "Nooooooo" in unison but in a turn of events, the doctor realized what was going on and was quick to salvage the situation. "Oh No. I didn't mean they are dead." He began and our eyes lightened up with hope."So, what are you saying, Doc?" Kelvin immediately asked him because Sorin was too shocked to speak."Exactly! Doctor, were you trying to scare us to death?" Daisy rudely said but the Doctor remained calm."Please talk to us Doctor." My mum said.The Doctor sighed before and continued talking."I'm sorry I gave you the wrong impression, I think my choice of words was wrong at the moment but you all didn't wait for me to fini

“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
