I stared out at the vast city stretching in front of me. New York was special. There was a different charm to it. But at the same time the vastness of the city also has the capabilty to make you feel weirdly empty and alone sometimes. While I really don't feel lonely often because I don't have any time for that in the first place, I wouldn't say that I wasn't alone.

I was alone despite being surrounded by two great friends, two because I wasn't much of a social person anyway to have a dozen and a loving family and despite that there still has always been this feeling of something missing in my life. I don't know what but just something. But then again, we all were alone in one way or other, isn't it? Life after all was nothing but a jourmey and

    Sofia Sofia "To a new start and to the Mckinnons!"Kristen said raising her wine glass. "To a new start," I replied laughing and rclinked my glass with hers. It was a happy day. I can't believe I finally had a job. Maybe not the best of what I can do but better than Ericsons for sure. "God, at last, your three months break is over," Kris said echoing my thoughts and I nodded. "

    It amazed me how a guy whowas probably not more than three or four years older than me could be this busy!There was someone calling him every five minutes and since all his work-related calls are forwarded to me, I am the one who needs to attend them. My ears have started to buzz and I think my water intake is going to increase as well because my mouth is going dry with constant talking. Seriously, how can he be this busy? All I get calls from were either Kristen or my mom or my cousin Natalie sometimes. Jesus, this was insulting and embarrassing!Calm down stupid! He owns a bloody company while you don't even own an apartment... Don't compare yourself with him!I sighed, my subconscious was right again. Who was I even comparing myself with?

    Liam "Sofia...oh shit!" I gasped as her body went limp against mine. "Oh no!" Grabbing her firmly by the waist, I pulled her away from me and managed her into a sitting position with the help of the elevator wall. "Sofia," I bellowed, slapping her lightly on the cheeks. There was no answer from her though. Her eyes were shut tigh

A full moon night accompanied by the slightly cold breeze that reminded me of the arriving fall.Never in my life have I ever laid awake into the late hours of the night for a guy. But then Liam was not justaguy, was he? He istheguy. The Liam Mckinnon. Every time I close my eyes, I am drawn back to the memories of tonight, or was it yesterday? I glanced a

    "Sofia," Liam's cold voice froze me in my place as I stared into his icy dark eyes. Damn...he looked like a completely different person altogether. "Mr. McKinnon, I er...I was coming to...I didn't know," I babbled stupidly. Oh, f**k this was so embarrassing. Liam caught me prying and even though it was completely unintentional, I don't think he was in the mood to understand that. "Who the hell is she?" Leila cried coming to stand beside him. She appraised me with a pointed look but at the moment all I could do was to stare blankly at Liam. There was something about his gaze that froze me in my place. Leila made a clicking sound with her tongue and that prompted me to turn my eyes to her. I s

    Liam "I think this arrangement will be beneficial for both of us," Mr. Filch, my financial advisor said. "The output is less but the chances of profits are double and it will also pave the way to increase our exports in the UAE. What is your opinion, Liam?" "Whatever suits them best," I muttered wryly. "I trust you, Garry," Mr. Filch or Garry as I call him has been working with my dad for the past eighteen years and now he was with me. He's like family so whenever it comes to deciding on something of this sort there's no way I could doubt his suggestion and foresight. Dad trusts him implicitly and s

    SofiaI sighed deeply as the warm water flowed over my body. Nothing could help you to relax better than a warm bath, a good fragrant body wash, or body oil and music.The last two days have been hell. I just couldn't get Liam's words out of my head and it was driving me crazy. I wanted to say the nastiest things to him. Like some sort of payback.You're going nuts Sayles!I nodded. Yes, I was going nuts. Because I was so pissed at him. I wanted to almost break his head with a baseball bat or something. That stu

    Sofia"Hey!" Kris greeted, opening the door even before I could ring the bell. I stared at her flushed face and frowned."What is it?" I inquired closing the door behind me."How do you know there's something?" She demanded."Because you look very excited and you have a ridiculous grin plastered on your face," I answered, pouring myself a glass of water and throwing my purse on the couch."Really?" She frowned and I nodded my head.

    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
