2024-10-29 19:42:56Maisie woke up the next morning and went through her routine in a state of unawareness. She tried to steady herself as she came out of her room and went to the kitchen where Zach sat with a cup of coffee like every other morning.
Only this morning the only word they exchanged was greeting, Zach told her that he wants to use the day to figure out who he is, she told him that she is okay with that idea then they bid goodbyes as she went off to work.
It has never been as tense as that even when she didn't believe he existed when he first came. Maisie used her hands to rub her eyes. She cannot go on like this, she needs to control herself better, but she can't.
She can't because she loves him, and he didn't even love her. Betty was right, she always falls for whoever shows her an atom of kindness, but this was not like others she had been experiencing, no! She is in love. Totally

Maisie came home to feel her apartment eerily warm. She gasps as tears fall from her eyes, she didn't need someone to help her decode the conclusion that Zach was gone forever. He had finally gone wherever it was that dead people always go to when dead. Yet, that didn't stop her from running to every corner of her apartment screaming Zach name. He never appeared. He was gone. Maisie collapsed in front of his favorite couch, she could still see the indention made from his body ... Tears flowed down her cheeks, but she didn't mind them, she just continued to stare at the indention made on the couch.****A while later, she dragged herself off the ground as she moved to her room and out of habit backed her door. There was nobody there to watch her so there was no need for her to lock the door, yet she still did it. She dragged herself into the sho

The next day at work. Maisie kept her dark glasses on as she went around sorting her desk. " Hey, you went out for drinks and didn't invite me. " Anthony said as a greeting when he approached Maisie's desk. " Drinks? " Maisie asked in confusion. " The dark glasses. You must have one hell of a hangover. " Anthony said as Maisie chuckles. " I wish that was the case. " Maisie replied dryly. " So, what happened? " Anthony asked. " I lost someone close to me. " Maisie said giving Anthony the story she had already prepared for this occasion because she knew that she was lucky to get away with wearing her dark glass, sooner or later she would have to remove them and then the questions will start. Guessed they started before she removed her glasses. " My condolences. " Anthony said sympathetically but Mai

Jeffrey walked close to Zach bed, this was the closest he could get to his brother without making the hospital to be suspicious of what he was doing with his brother, he could lean over him but so far his hands was hysterical by his side. They would never suspect that he was responsible for anything, and it was a good thing that the surveillance of the hospital was just a video with no sounds. Now Jeffery heard that comatose patients are sometimes aware of their environment and that was why their family always remains close to them to give them words of encouragement so that they will not give up. If they were discouraged wouldn't it be the opposite? It wasn't like he could ask anybody about it so he just had to go with his hypnosis on the issue. Jeffery stared at Zach with hatred as he thought about the perfect life Zach had, the perfect girlfriend, the genius who was already w

" I can't believe that you are awake. " Malcolm Stephens said with tears his eyes even if he would never let them fall. He wasn't the type of man who was emotional but after seeing his son stare at him with his brows wrinkled like he didn't understand why his father was making so much fuss - one of Zach's favourite expressions when it comes to his father - Malcolm thought that he would never see his son's eyes opened to look at him at least not anytime soon. " Of course I am awake. Seeing is believing, you should believe. " Zach said as Sebastien chuckles. " smart ass. " " Nobody knew that you were going to wake up. You completely caught us off guard. " Constantine said while Sebastien rolled his eyes. " In a coma or not, Zachary will always be Zachary. And Zachary has never been predictable. " Sebastien said as Malcolm smiled knowing what was coming next.

Nothing more nothing less, she couldn't feel anything except grief. Even her memories of Zach was still covered with grief. That they were not in speaking terms before he left.

It was a good thing she thought of that story which she told her Co-workers. So now when they see her, they know that she is mourning somebody but she knew that she couldn't continue like this.

Zach sighed, he had been going out with all the curvy women he could remember he had met at a certain point in time since he left the hospital but none of them was her, he didn't know who the 'her' was but he just knew that they weren't her. And he knew this because he expects that the minute he sees her that they would connect like they already did. The only reason why he believes that he is not losing his mind was that every other part of his life was okay. All except his love life or his fantasies about the woman who he had not met yet. He was okay, he had been okay for the past two months which he spent looking for her. Something keeps telling him that he would see her when it was time and not a minute before and with the fact that he was okay. It was about time he resumed his work, he had suffered Jeffery for more than a year by dumping his workload at him, Zach snorted at tha

" I heard that he is coming in today. " was the first thing that Maisie heard when she came to work that morning with her hair up in a new stylish hairstyle. One of the things she indulges in now is her appearance. Pampering her self now makes it easier to get through the day, one step at a time, and helps her in keeping her mind preoccupied." About time he came back. He has been playing around for two months since he woke up. " another lady whispers. " But I am happy that he is back. "" Everyone is happy that he is back. If he didn't come back, the firm might have to be closed soon, at least we get to keep our jobs. " " And he is single now that Vivienne has announced her wedding to his stepbrother.

Zach arrived at his firm the next day to a welcome party being held. At least some people were still faithful to him. His assistant has been one of them. Taylor must have been the one to organize the party and although he was not a huge fan of parties, he allowed them when they were welcoming somebody new into their fold. And he had been out of commission for a year so that practically made him a new member. " Thank you for the party, Taylor. " Zach said when he finally caught up with his assistant. " Oh no. It wasn't me. It was somebody else who arranged to give you a welcome. " Taylor replied with a smile." Somebody else? " Zach asked bewildered. He knew that his lawyers hardly saw him and even if they did, it was from a distance. There was nobody who would have been seeing him every day and liked him enough to prep

" And with twenty minutes to spare. Tell me, how many traffic laws did you break. " " I lost count after the first ten. " Zach replied as Jeffery let out a laugh. " Then let's get to business I am sure that you would like Maisie to leave here soon so we should start. " Jeffery said as he stood up and walked to Zach holding his gun out. " I would love to shoot you but it would not be satisfying enough. " " Then what do you want to do now.

Jeffery frowned at the news which Vivi had just told him about his brother. He could not believe that Zach could do that, he would not do that unless he remembers. He should have found a way to make sure that Zach had never woken up from that coma and then he would fired Maisie from the moment he saw her. And now he would have to do something drastic because warning, threats and attempted murders are no longer enough. Jeffery was not as dumb as to believe that he could get away with killing his brother and his fiancée but since he was already going down he has no problem with dragging those two with him.Jeffery turned and look at Vivi, if he was less jaded, he would have smiled at her loyalty, he knew with all certainty that if it has not been him but his brother in this calamity, Vivi would have cut her loses a while ago, but she stayed with him and with the way she is giving him information which are useful to him like his brother words and the order he would soon get from

" You nearly killed me. " Maisie said as soon as her lunch date sat looking nervous. He scanned the restaurant three times before he relaxed. If he had only known that there was a small camera that was recording his conversation with Maisie and playing it to some detectives who were in an unmarked car at the restaurant parking lot. Tim looked pale, " I- I do-don't know what you are talking about. " "That wasn't very convincing. " Maisie said with a glare " your phone sent the text that nearly made me died. I should call the police and have them arrest you. "Tim swallowed opposite her. " I never sent you any kind of. " " Sure. You didn't, your phone did that all on its own then when I arrived at the location I was sent to. I was attacked so let's see who the police will believe. " " I am sorry but I didn't send it. My phone is missing and I got a new one. "

Zach opened his door to a nightmare he hoped he will never see again. Maisie hanging from Cassidy's arms looking like she had just survived a fight with death. " What happened? " Zach asked as he stepped out of the doorway and allow Cassidy to enter. " She drowned. " Cassidy said as Zach turned sharply to look at him. " And what was she doing in the water by this time of the night. " Zach asked because he could sense that Cassidy was keeping something from him. " It would be better if you don't know. " Cassidy said after being quiet for a while when Zach asked the former question. " Why would she go near the water at this time of the night, Cass. " Zach asked in a firm tone which meant that he would not be moved from the issue.Cassidy sighed. He had tried his best. "She must have gotten a message that states tha

" Hello. This is Jeffery. "Jeffery said answering the unknown number calling him. " Hello! This is Tim from Hugo Financial Auditors office. "Jeffery stopped what he was doing. He recognized that name anywhere. He paid them to help him balance the accounts of his firm when it was still under him. And he visited them when Zach woke up to tell them that if anybody comes looking at clues that he should be informed. And although he paid heavily for that message to stick. He was glad that he spent the amount now. " Go on. " Jeffery said relaxing back into his seat. " We had a visit from a lawyer with your firm today. "" Okay," Jeffery said with a sigh of relief. They thought that he was still in charge of the firm. It was a good thing that Zach changed his ways of spraying his face all over the media when he woke up.

" Yes it could've but I will not sit down on my ass and wait for you to recover quicker just so that you can do the same thing I am doing, " Maisie snapped at Zach. " If you won't sit on your ass, I swear that when I do see you. I will spank that ass. " Zach threaten as Maisie laugh." Is that supposed to discourage me. " Maisie asked as Zach growled." Where are you. Tell me so that I can come to get you. " " Like I will do anything that stupid. " Maisie rolls her eyes at Zach even though she knew that he couldn't see her. " I am serious.

" He what? " Maisie asked in surprise." He was responsible for my first accident. " Zach said as Maisie collapse on her chair. Maisie knew that something was going on when Zach didn't want his family with him but she would have never suspected the reason was this. " Are you sure? " Maisie asks Zach and when Zach glared at her she hurriedly continued. " I mean I always felt like something was off with Jeffery. Like, he was putting on an act but this is too far. " Maisie stood up unable to sit still anymore. " I mean why would he do that. " " Because he is my next of kin who is set to inherit everything when I die. I am sure that he decided to hurry the process of me dying. " Zach answered in a bitter tone.Maisie stopped her pacing to look at her boyfriend who was certainly angry. Both at himself and Jeffery.

Maisie gave Zach some water to drink as she pondered about his statement. What did he mean by that? Did he mean their time together or something else? He seems restless to make her understand but she calmed him down just after she pressed the button to call for the doctor. " Don't let my family near me. " Zach tells Maisie as soon as he had sipped enough water for his throat. Maisie frowned at that. That was a strange request even when it is coming from Zach, she knew that Zach felt out of tune with his family she had been hoping that he would not be too angry with her for not letting his family visit him but the request threw her. It was like he was scared that they would try to hurt him. She knew that she couldn't push for answers now but she could keep to his requests. " Promise me. " Zach added as the door open and the doctor came in." I promise. " Maisie
