When Maisie was at work that day, she made some points about what was happening to her apartment. It seems illogical that someone will try to freeze her on her apartment. But she couldn't deny the knowledge that something was sure going on.
And when she reached her apartment to see if she could stay there that night or at least make sure she had a proper attire for the next day of work. She just snapped when she felt the usual cold.
What she didn't expect was to see the most beautiful man she had ever seen appear in front of her.
She stood frozen as she tried to assimilate what her eyes were seeing. A man appeared in front of her.
" Hello. "the ghost, man thing said and in reply, Maisie's eyes rolled up and she fainted.
****
When she woke up, Maisie wasn't sure what was happening, but she knew
" Hey leave me alone, you brute. " Maisie said angrily as she stomped back into her apartment two hours after she had taken off. Zach had made sure that she was not taken seriously and when she tried to admit herself into a psychiatric hospital, he had made sure that the doctors didn't believe. Instead, they told her that she must have been too stressed lately and she should take a couple of days off to recuperate. And when they told her that if she chooses to stay that it will show up in her records, she calmly went home. " Do you believe me now? Nobody can see me apart from you and I am not a figment of your imagination. " Zach said as she glared at him. " Why me? " Maisie asked angrily. " Why not torment some other poor person? Why does it have to be me? " " Beats me if I know. " Zach replies. " if I could have chosen who will see and hear me, you would not
A month later, Maisie was thanking her luck for meeting Zach, his suggestion about her handling her boss worked perfectly well, and he was turning into a close friend... Okay, he was already a close friend second to none except Betty and that reminds her. She needs to call Betty; the girl has started suspecting that something was going on that her best friend was not telling her which was true. How can you tell your best friend that there is a ghost that lives in your apartment and you are friends with the ghost? Especially when this best friend knows that every male in your life who had shown kindness to you, you ended up falling for the person. No, Maisie agreed again with her former thoughts, there was no way she would tell Betty that she was sharing her apartment with a ghost and besides she isn't dumb enough to fall for a ghost.No matter how much he gets her, or how amazing his brain is, or how he manag
Four months laterMaisie povI love Zach, I don't know how that happened, but I just realized that somewhere along the line I have fallen for him. Oh God, I was supposed to know better than to fall for a ghost. I was supposed to know better than to stay with a ghost and I just realized this in my office when my gaze fell upon my picture on my desk, in the picture was my apartment but what people don't see is that Zachery was in that picture.I remember the day I took that, we were trying to see if I could see him through the lens of a camera so I took a shot and I didn't see him through it but I knew he was there and that is why that picture in on my desk and I am grinning like a lunatic as I look at the picture.Four months and I am still in the same firm, things have gotten better. I have a group of colleagues that I hang out w
Maisie arrived at her apartment eager to see Zach, she made up her mind while she was in work that it was time they got serious with looking for Zach identity, she had to let him go no matter how much she loved him, that was what true love was all about. Zach needs to know about himself. " what's with the face. " Zach asked the moment he saw Maisie face. " Nothing. " Maisie said but Zach was not convinced. Something was going on with Maisie and she was determined to hide it from him. He could try to find out what it is and he would succeed but he decided to give Maisie the space she was indirectly asking for. " So how was work. " Zach asked. " it is getting weirder. Remember that case I was telling you about, apparently, it is bigger than I expected, and I feel like executives are among. " Maisie tells Zach as Zach nods.&nb
The next day at work Maisie was still feeling down about Zach's girlfriend. She knew better than to hope that while he was alive, he was single and still these thoughts didn't improve her mood. She went through all the motions at work and before she knew it, it was closing time but she wasn't ready to go home yet, so she stayed behind with few of her colleagues as she works on her case. " Maisie can you go and get us some paper from the copying room. " a female lawyer who has always been mean to her said in a sickly-sweet tone. " You are closer to the door. " Maisie replied in a naive tone although she knew what was happening. It always happens in all organizations, where the new employees are treated as if they are lesser by being made to do all sorts of odd jobs and the bulk of paperwork. She would have been stuck under mountains of paperwork if
Okay, when Maisie agreed for Zach to follow her to work, she didn't know what would happen. In her defense, she never knew he would be telling her little snippets about people making her to almost laugh out loud and make others look at her as if she was crazy. And she didn't know that he would be possessive too. Anytime Anthony came close to her, Zach went stiff and she knew that it was a matter of time before Zach would attack Anthony either in a fit of rage or just to make Anthony leave her alone. He was kind of suffocating her by always being in her space and treating her like an invalid. And she knew that she wouldn't even bat an eyelash if Zach chose to step in. Still, Zach has been looking in over her shoulders since they got to her working place and she still didn't feel as if Zach was suffocating her. Maisie shut down that thought as she
Towards the end of the day, Mr. Huggins came to her desk again but this time it was to tell her that a higher-up wants to see her. " God, I am tired. Why can't they let you go? You have a headache injury, they should have forced you to go home at lunch. " Zach complains as Maisie shook her head at him. " I am not the one complaining. You are. " Maisie said. " You need to do the complaining for me since I can't be seen or heard. " " You can go home or sit here and wait for me. I need to go and see what this is about. " Maisie said as she left. Zach sighs as he forced himself to stand and follow Maisie's footsteps. He came to protect her and as much as he wanted to fade into nothing and rest, he knew he couldn't do that. Normally making himself visible for Maisie to see throug
When Zach could control himself, he appeared with his back against the wall. He didn't know what was happening, but he knew that it was not natural, he also knew that he couldn't tell Maisie about it. She already had a lot going on and he didn't want to add this one too and he knew that Maisie will make it take precedence to her other obligations.So, all he needed to do right now was to pretend everything was alright and the first step to that was apologizing for his words the next morning because he knew that Maisie won't leave her room this night.****Maisie came out of her room the next morning and took in the arranged state of the sitting room. Zach followed her to her working place yesterday so that means that he must have tidied up when she was in her room. Without her approval, her lips curved into
Zach arrived at the location in which Jeffery wanted him to go and he saw Maisie on the floor bleeding. " Oh look. The lovesick boy came. "Jeffery said with a laugh. " 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. " Zach asked Jeffery.Jeffery stopped in front of Zach " Well, I would love to beat you into a pulp first. " Jeffery said as he hit his gun against Zach's head as Zach fell." Come on Zach. With your ability to survive being hit by a car, you should rem
Maisie arrived at the location which Jeffery had sent her with her nerves going crazy. She knew that she could be dead before Zach got there she just hopes that Betty and Zach should be alright after this whole incident." Well, well we'll. Look who came. " Jeffery said as he came out from behind a pillar and Maisie jumped in shock." Where is Betty. " Maisie asked in a small voice." Why, you don't want to hang out with your future brother in law. I heard Zach proposed to you and you said no. " Jeffery said making small talks as Maisie try to hedge far away from him." None of that. " Jeffery warns as Maisie froze.Maisie had to try a couple of times before the word could leave her throat. " None of what? "Jeffery scoffs at Maisie as he moved towards her. Maisie didn't dare to shift back in case he decided to punish Zach for her acti
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. He was going to have to distract Zach from that
" Maisie, where are you. "Zach's voice came through the instant the call went through. "Tracking down some leads. " Maisie replied. " Maisie, it could be dangerous.... " Zach started. " 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. " " So I am. I wil
" 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. " It wasn't your fault. There was no way that you would know what
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
