ALINA’S POV

After yesterday, her mind had been reeling with thoughts of something brewing between her mother and Michael. The way he had strode out of the room quickly, like he was running from something that spooked him, and from the corner of her eye, she had noticed her mother's triumphant expression, but there was a bit of sadness to her face as she left that evening.

So now, she lay under the covers recalling the events of last night with the other side of the bed ruffled and cold, she guessed that Michael had had an early start to the morning before she had woken up.

She groaned and stretched out, shoving down the troubling thoughts and focusing on the new brightly lit day. She spread out the blinds and padded bare feet to the bathroom to get a shower and get ready for another day of staying at home.

She rubbed her swollen belly with a wistful smile on her face. She couldn’t wait for her bundle of joy to pop out so she could finally play with him. Especially now that the time fo

    MICHEAL’S POV24 HOURS EARLIER…*“Hi, big brother,” his sister yelled with her hands outstretched. She wrapped her arms around him excitedly.“What are you doing here?” He asked as he enveloped her small frame in his.“I came to see you. I’ve missed you,” she said into his chest, revelling in his warmth.“What about Mum and Dad? What did they say?” he asked.“They let me.” I came back from school a month ago, and no-one had heard back from you,” she answered and pulled away.“Why didn’t you tell me that you were coming over?” He asked.“I didn’t want to. I wanted to surprise you,” she chirped and dragged her suitcase further into the room.She stretched out her arms and took a deep breath.“I missed your home,” she told him.He arched a brow up at her, amused.“Where’s Alina? I can’t perceive her amazing cooking. I missed her meals the most,” she said wistfully.His smile faded.A brief silence ensued. She raised questioning eyes to his, pinning him on the spot. His eyes darted around

    ALINA’S POVShe tossed and turned in bed as the memory of that day came into play over and over. Abruptly, she shot out of bed with a startle.Seeing the house earlier today had her guts tied in knots. She couldn’t physically fathom getting into that house. That’s where she had lost a part of herself that she would never get back.It took great difficulty, but she had to force herself to sleep.The next morning as she tossed and turned her scrambled eggs across the plate, dread filled her entire system. She had to go to work at two o’clock to pick up her things. She didn’t know what her job would entail. She had a habit of not reading through the contracts first before signing, and that’s what got her trapped in this mess in the first place.“What’s wrong?” Her mother’s voice broke through her internal musings.She let out a tired sigh.“Nothing major. I’ve just been promoted to Personal Assistant level.” She responded vaguely.Her mother’s eyes narrowed into slits as she eyed her sk

    MICHEAL’S POVHe arched his neck, signalling to the doctor to stop, but the doctor kept ignoring his protests.He couldn’t imagine what Alina would think of him when she found out.He lay back in his bed as he anticipated the effects of the truth.“He’s about to die of…” his doctor began.“…of exhaustion.”His eyes widened in surprise. “He’s about to die of exhaustion because he keeps overworking himself, and he doesn’t eat properly. His symptoms can become very severe if proper prevention is taken, like him getting enough hours of sleep in a day as well as having very good healthy meals.” The doctor consulted.Alina looked between him and the doctor with her eyes narrowed to suspicious slits.“He can be discharged shortly, but please take good care of him.” He’s not getting any younger.” The doctor vanishes, and he took that as his cue to leave, closing the door behind him.She walked towards his bed as soon as the door behind them closed.“Are you okay?” She asked with concern lace

    ALINA’S POV“Micheal, I don’t want to be your assistant. “Whatever that means,” she said, stomping her feet as she stood firm, facing him for the second time that week with the dreaded folder lying open in front of her.She placed her hands on either side of her hips, staring defiantly at him.He just stared at her with a bemused smile.“Look, you can take this contract now and spare us all this hassle of you going back and forth because, best believe it, I won’t stop until I get you to sign this contract. You do know how persistent I can be, don’t you?” He said with a sly smirk playing on his lips as he reclined majestically back into his seat.“Well, I’m not quitting either. I can't have you dictate what happens in my life. I’m content where I’m working. I don’t want the promotion; why don’t you understand that?” she responded.“No.” He replied firmly.He leaned closer to his desk and pressed a button on the answering machine.It beeped before he talked.“Donald, come in here,” he i

She cleaned up her office and focused on trying to get some work done there, pushing down thoughts of regrets.The rest of the day went by in a blur. It was time for lunch. On most days, for the past weeks, she had skipped lunch due to the constant isolation, but today she decided to go face her demons, and she chose an empty table to sit at.If she was ever going to have a chance to make friends here at the office, she had to put herself out there regardless of the fact that they hated her guts right now.She dug a forkful of spaghetti into her mouth when she heard a clatter from the distance.“You whore!” A high-pitched voice screeched.“Yeah,” a chorus from a group of voices.“How do you think you were going to get away with this? You freak!” The high-pitched voice mocked.Then another clatter sounded.There were murmurs from the

Your results show a significant decrease in the cancer cells,” the older man clad in a white lab coat said as he smiled, adjusting his glasses multiple times at the bridge of his nose in disbelief.Micheal was in deep disbelief as well.The past week had been filled with lots of peace, and he hadn’t had a nosebleed in the whole week.Alina was good for him.He was happier, and even his health showed that too.As he left the doctor’s report, his entire thoughts were filled with how to make Alina stay even longer with him and be closer to him.“Are you alright, sir?” Donald adjusted the driver’s seat before turning the key in the ignition.Micheal shook out of his internal musings.“What do you say about making Alina my personal assistant?” He blurted out randomly.“But I’m your personal assistant,” Donald commented, sadness filling his voice.MIcheal realised what he had said.“No, no, no, that’s not what I meant.
