"What are you doing there?" Liam demanded.

I gulped with panic. This was not supposed to happen. What was Sandy doing? What do I say? What do I say now?

"Umm, I...I had to get a file," I murmured. "And then...,"

"Then?" He inquired, walking inside. I had no way of knowing whether he did catch me or not. Should I tell the truth or go on with a lie? 

Are you nuts? Lie...you idiot!

"Then I tripped over something and my head hit here," I pointed to the open drawer. "And this popped open out of nowhere. Like magic," I tried my very best to look innocent. 

"Oh," Liam laughed and I sagged down with relief. "It's not magic. It's equipped with

    Liam I watched with pleasure as Sofia's face turned red with embarrassment. She finds it so hard to believe that I love her. That she doesn't deserve me. There was no earthly reason why she shouldn't deserve me or someone better. I daresay she will be a dream come true for any deserving man. Am I deserving? I was hiding a terrible truth from her. That her life was now in danger because she fell in love with a selfish guy like me who can think of nothing but his happiness was not something I dare to admit. I just can't let her go. And Neil knows how to make the best out of that. The parcel that arrived the day

    Sofia His lips touched mine softly and my eyes shot open. I stared at his handsome face, a big smile on his beautiful lips. Wow...what a sight. "Good morning beautiful, " He grinned brightly at me. "Good morning, " I smiled, sitting up. "Ouch," "Easy, " Liam laughed, making me turn scarlet. "Did you sleep well?" "Very well, " I nodded my head. "You're up early, "

    "Well, what is it?" I demanded impatiently. "Go on," "It's Hannah," Liam answered, his jaw tight. "She was in an accident," "What?" I gasped. "How, when? Is she alright?" "She's fine," Liam muttered. "Sean's with her. I am driving there now. You want to come?" "Of course, I want to come," I frowned at him. What kind of question was that? "Don't you want me to?" "Why wouldn't I?" He asked and I shrugged, keeping my mouth shut. This was not the time to provoke him. "Well, then I am coming," I answered. "How did this happen?" "I know nothing as of yet," He replied stoically. He was visible very disturb

    Liam "So are you sure Jackson that Niel has nothing to do with what happened to Hannah?" I demanded, distractedly staring at my Mac while trying to eat as well. "Yes sir," Jackson said. "We are keeping tabs on him and there's no movement," "Okay, keep me updated," I grumbled and cut the call. I sighed. This constant fear of something happening to my best friends or Sofia was driving me crazy. The people I love the most were threatened by no one but my own brother, another person who meant the world to me. Can it get any worse?

    "Do we really have to do this on a Sunday morning?" I groaned as I followed Sofia dutifully, wheeling the trolly.Things were finally returning to normal two months after that stupid paparazzi drama. Everybody knows that I am dating her but there hasn't been any stupid news after that one. Yes, a few pictures here and there but nothing too absurd. Sofia seemed fine with that and as long as she was alright so was I."We don't have any groceries at home. I can't put off shopping anymore," She answered, putting two bottles of olive oil in the cart."Kristen could have done this," I muttered. Never in my wildest have I ever imagined myself in a grocery store dragging around a shopping cart."She could have but I

    "Liam," I felt a firm hand on my shoulder and I looked up, quickly wiping away the tears. Kristen looked down at me, her expressions mirroring mine. She was trying very hard not to cry but it was anything but convincing. "Kristen," I murmured, standing up and to my utter surprise, she enveloped me in a tight hug. "She will be alright," She muttered, trying to convince herself more than me as she rubbed my back. "Yes, she will," I said wryly and reluctantly wrapped my arms around her. This was surprising. "Alright, here we go," Sean announced appearing out of nowhere with two styrofoam cups. "There's nothing coffee can't sort," The best thing

    Sofia Everything was bright. Too bright. Nothing was clear. I struggled, trying hard to bring things into my perspective but it was doing nothing but hurting. "Sofia!" The voice was familiar. Crystal clear in the haze, trying to show me the right path. "Sofia?"And then I saw him. Dark eyes squinting at me, forehead wrinkled with concern. "Sofia," He was calling. "Can you hear me?" "W...water," I groaned. My throat was dry as hay. It felt as if someone has left me to die in a bloody desert. The feeling inside me was of utmost discomfort at the moment.

    "Sofia, you're still not fit to move around like that," Kristen cried, moving around behind me. "If I don't, I will go crazy," I replied, furiously brushing my hair. It hurt a bit but I don't care. I was so pissed that nothing was making any sense to me. Ever since I came home a week ago, Liam hasn't called, texted, or visited even once. He wouldn't pick up my calls and he wouldn't reply to my texts. Sean has only one reply, 'He is busy...' Exactly how busy can a person be to not pick up his calls or just send a text? How long does it take to text someone? By Sunday, I had gone crazy with anxiety and the strange feeling of doom. When I woke today, I couldn't be

    Liam 3 years later... I stared at the woman in front of me as she stood there explaining some weird-looking painting to her precious visitors. Every time I looked at her, I was overwhelmed by my love for her. There was no way I could ever get enough. She was my life. She was my existence. She was my wife. My Sofia... She was glowing as she subconsciously turned to look at me, a big smile on her beautiful face. I don't think I have ever seen her this happy. Maybe, when I proposed to her? No maybe not even then... It was the happiness of her dreams coming true. This was what she always wanted. What drove her here in the first

    Sofia I smiled at the woman who stared back at me from the other side of the large ornate mirror. She looked happy and beautiful. And her wide grin got wider as she was joined by the man of her dreams leaning casually by the door. "How do I look?" I asked, turning to face him. I gave him an elegant twirl in my breathtakingly beautiful dress and he smiled. "Like always," He replied. "I didn't search the entire New York to look like always," I scowled. Tonight was a big night. Tonight, Mckinnons was celebrating its 25th anniversary and it was going to be a big starry affair. And tonight, Neil was going to be announced as the managing director of Mckinnons after three month

    Liam "Death is not the opposite of life... It's a part of life..." -Haruki Murakami Unlike what is shown in movies and written in books, I somehow realized how easy and painless death was. Survival was hard. For death, all you have to do is make one single decision and all your agony and pain fades but survival...that's a whole different game. And if it wasn't for the promise I made to her and if it wasn't her voice calling me again and again I would have definitely taken the easy road. At least once, I deserved to take it easy but I couldn't, I didn't because I don't have the right to put her in a lifetime of misery or my parents or my

    "It's been six days!" I cried in disdain. "What is happening?" "Ms. Sayles," Dr. Burke warned. "Please calm down!" "Calm down?" I spat. "Not exactly my forte, doc," "Sofia," My mother placed a warning hand on my shoulder. "Let him do his job," I glared at my mother and then at the doctor and then sighed. "Fine," I muttered, stomping out of Liam's inpatient suite. "You need to calm down," Mom muttered. "Go home Sofia, have you even looked at yourself?" "I don't care," I grumbled. It's been six days since Liam was operated... twice. The idea that I almost lost him that night because of severe internal bleed

    You know you irrevocably love someone when the thought of losing them makes you forget how to breathe. The fear that gripped me as I watched Liam collapse on the ground was something, I realized I will never forget in my life. Ever. It was going to haunt me for the rest of my life like a scar... reminding me of the momentary coma I just experienced. Move you, idiot! And I did, forcing myself to move forward, running full speed towards him before his head hit the ground and cause any more damage. Neil lurched forward as well... too shocked to show any other reaction. From the distance, we could hear the sirens of the police car approaching...but what if they were too late? "Hey!" I cried, stroking Liam's hair as he took deep labored breathes. B

    Thump! Thump! Thump! We were running like mad people in the rain. Nobody said anything. We were just running. Neil was holding my hand so hard that it almost hurt but I couldn't dare leave it. If I get lost here I was screwed for good. So I let him half drag me through the woods. The rain made it impossible to focus as the green mixed with the brown, making it hard to distinguish between anything at all. My mind was crazy with exhilaration and I couldn't focus until my leg hit a huge rock and I stumbled to the ground, landing hard on my knees. "Ouch!" I cried out as pain shot through my body. "Fuck! " Neil cried, helping me up. "Are you alright?" "I am fine!" I panted. "Keep going!"

    "Sofia! Sofia, get up!" Neil's voice was urgent and I reluctantly opened my eyes. "What?" I muttered. "Theo is here to see you," He said in a hushed voice. "Now...please... please... please, don't say anything stupid, okay? Just do what he says? You understand?" "Right," I scoffed, sitting up properly. It was dark outside now and I presumed I had fallen asleep. Before Neil could say anything, footsteps approached and the door opened. "Please," Neil whispered and I scowled at him. "There...there," A voice said, it was calm. Almost peaceful...yet a chill ran down my spine. Neil moved and I was face to face with a guy not more than thirty years old. When I

    I was feeling pissed. It was late in the afternoon and after my failed attempt to make Neil realize he was better than the douchebag he pretends to be, he has stopped talking completely. It was hot and humid and I was sitting in the same position in the same place for God knows how long. I felt grimy, stiff, and angry. I glanced out of the little window and all I could see was trees. Huge trees for as long as I was allowed to see. Outside, I could hear laughing and cursing, the smell of cigarettes and alcohol.And to think Neil is the son of Ryan Mckinnon...Ideally, I closed my eyes and began to picture Liam's face in my head. My family...what were they doing? Do they know? Sean...Hannah...Kris... what were they doing right now?"Sleeping already?" Neil's familiar voice distracted me.

    Sofia My eyes felt like someone has tied heavy stones to them as I struggled to open them. My head felt heavy and there was a funny smell lingering in my nostrils. I blinked twice... thrice in a vain attempt to push away the heaviness but it was just useless. I felt sleepy like I haven't slept in ages and automatically my eyes shut down again making everything go dark. It was too bright and warm... I felt droplets of sweat dripping down my back and my mouth felt slack. "Water," I
